The Luscious Crab

Walking into this restaurant where you are greeted by a supersized lobster stature, fish nets and other nautical items, you may not remember your in St Paul. The festive decor is matched with yummy food! The menu is fairly simple. The appetizer list has a variety of old standards for a seafood restaurant such as hush puppies as well as a few you'd find in an Asian restaurant like edamame. There's a number of pasta and sandwiches with seafood in them, such as a fried oyster sandwich. We ordered the hush puppies and they were excellent. Freshly made, the textures crunchy on the outside and soft but not too doughy on inside was perfect. The hint of onion provided excellent flavor. My only disappointment was that they were served with tartar sauce- which may be normal but was not a flavor combo I like. Next time I will ask if they can be served at same time as the seafood boil because the hush puppies would have been even more amazing dipped in the sauce that came with the bowl. Highly recommend this restaurant for seafood lovers. Delicious, good service and reasonable prices. I will be back!

My first Cajun crawfish boil! Got a combo that had a 1/2 lb of shrimp, 1/2 lb if crawfish, 2 potatoes and 2 pieces of corn. Loved the flavor of the seasonings though it was a little more Asian than I expected (not sure if this is normal or because the owners of the restaurant are Chinese.) We got the mild version which still had a good spicy kick. Also got hush puppies that had good flavor and were fried well though a little bit dense. Do wish I'd saved some to dip into the shrimp boil sauce though. The space is cute with lots of fun nautical themed pieces to take photos with (giant lobster, pirate, nets, etc) but also pretty stark and not very cozy.

Walked in to a not so busy restaurant. Yet it took a while for someone to come, acknowledge and seat us. When we were finally seated, it took awhile for anyone to come take our order. The server was nice enough. I ordered a crab legs and shrimp boil, spicy (on the menu). Though listed as spicy, the boil was not very spicy, but it was tasty. Stick to seafood. My husband order lemon pepper wings. I was able to try one. It wasn't tasty. You'd be better off eating precooked frozen wings from the grocery store.The place is very well decorated. Cute sea theme.

This place lives up to the name! We had the family combo, which comes with two snow crab clusters, and a hearty portion of crawfish, shrimp mussels, clams, and sausages, plus the standard corn and potatoes. For two people with strong appetites, it was the right fit, but could work for up to three. We got our meal cooked with the House Cajun Spice. In general, the flavor was quite good, if a bit inconsistent. The crab for example was more flavorful than the crawfish, but everything felt very fresh. The shrimp was the star for me, practically falling out of its shell and full of flavor. Service was also top-notch. The restaurant is clean and modern, and there are glove dispensers and buckets for shell disposal at every table. The only improvement on this front would be to provide a shell-cracker for each diner, but sharing between two was no big deal. I'll be back!

I got the seafood toast, which was pretty disappointing. Garlic toast with imitation crab and cheese which had been melted in the microwave. Seafood boil was disappointing. Too salty and just kind of lacking. They have a sign offering a free drink or KitKat for leaving any review which, I expect, is why they have such positive reviews. Kinda awkward to leave less than 5 stars if you're getting something for it.

My family and I really wanted to try a seafood boil and found the Luscious Crab! We decided to get the combo platter with snow crab legs and shrimp. Yummy!! The waiter was super kind and helpful with showing us a few tips on how to get the crab meet out, which tasted amazing! I usually hesitate to eat seafood in the Midwest, but everything tasted super fresh and flavorful. The restaurant has plenty of space and was super clean. I loved the nautical themes and all the lighting. A great spot to visit for seafood in MN!

Great service!I don't know why this place is NOT PACKED! Greeted and got water right away. The food came in a timely manner and was HOT! Super delicious and super fresh!! The waiter (I'm assuming the owner) checked on us frequently for water refills and packed our food order I got to say the best in the cities for flavor, portion, and freshness!

Wow wow wow - I'm from Florida, and I never expected to have the best Cajun crab boil ever in a land-locked state (unless you count lakes). Our waiter was helpful, proactive, and attentive. He gave us great advice on what to order, which ended up being Combo C. This included 1lb of snow crab, 1lb of shrimp, and 1lb of sausage with potatoes & corn mixed in. For $59, we thought this was a steal! Also, crab places can be hit or miss on the inside. Let me tell you though, this restaurant is very clean and well decorated. I especially like the lobster that greets visitors when they walk in. I want to move here just to make this one of my regular spots!

Growing up in Houston we have really missed big crab and crawfish boils since moving to Minnesota. We found luscious crab while searching places to eat for our anniversary and we are so glad we did! The food was incredible, portions were huge, and best of all the prices were LOW! Staff was incredibly friendly and attentive.

Ok, so the ambience in this place is crazy. Good service, friendly professionals and fast. For this Foodie ~ l need flava and my shrimp was over cooked. The Flava is ok l had extra hot w/house Cajun seasoning. It wasn't bad just not good, maybe l will try it again and write another review. Stay tuned
