"The brisket was tender and flavorful and red beans are exceptional. The restaurant is always clean with a welcoming atmosphere with great service!"
"Earlier this week, we went to @smashincrab Stone Oak for dinner. Happy hour with food and drinks end at 6pm on weekdays.Dad and hubby had their flavored Lemonade, and I had the Signature Margarita on happy hour. Dad and hubby shared a bowl of Clam Chowder. Dad had the Cod Fish & Chips. Hubby had the Crawfish Etouffee. I had the Lobster Roll with Onion Rings instead of the cajun fries. There was much lobster on that roll. The food was pretty good and Jennifer was an attentive server. Overall, 5 stars."

"Could not ask for better service from Matt. He was running around all over the place and helping multiple tables. His recommendation for the dirty rice was great. Great service from Matt!!!!!! We would return for his customer service."
"The service was great! Unfortunately, the food was lacking. I ordered small steak tenderloins. There were three of them and they all were overcooked. Even my mashed potatoes were greasy and dripping in oil. My spouse had the Diablo red fish and it was so salty and over spiced he could not finish it. The staff was really amazing. They tried to fix things as it happened but the night was lost to us and when the bill is over 200$ you expect to be able to rave about one thing"
"I'm usually not the type to enjoy in seafood boils, but if they were all as good as Surfing Crab, I think I'd indulge more often. I really enjoyed how fresh my seafood was, the seasoning, and the hearty portions for each item ordered.The place doesn't look like much from the outside, but they've done a good job with the layout, the cleanliness, and even the semi-cheesy decor (#1). It's a place that is casual enough for a messy date night, group dining affair and extremely family friendlyThe spread of everything from clams to shrimp to crawfish and calamari is impressive. My favorite item would have to be the snow crabs and each leg was filled with copious amounts of meat. Even the crawfish was on point, even if it's not in season. Their non-boil items, such as the shrimp cocktail, fried shrimp, and oysters were also surprisingly good. I think if I'm to go back, I'll be ordering everything from their clams to even the spicy edamame.Service has their moments and I think the prices are about average for a place like this. Seafood isn't going to be cheap, but I wouldn't hesitate about coming back here to feast and preferably in a large group of hungry companions.____________(#1) Giant crab and Captain Jack Sparrow? Yes."

Great food and awesome service. Love the wings here my family fights over them every time we order from here. Small inside but they do have outside sitting. You want great food I would 100% recommend this place.

Just refreshing my review. I still love this place. Been coming here since they opened. The staff knows my drinks and orders. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or if I have a problem. Lol. I have always loved the vibe here and still do. Here is my go to order: Bayou tea -- Snow Crab, Trinity, level 3. With a side of hush puppies for dipping in the boil bag sauce. A side of lemons to squeeze in the boil bag. You can thank me later.

Amazing dishes with amazing flavor! Service is always great and the restaurant is always clean. Had the Cajun combo and I must say it was a treat. Shrimp Creole and Blackened Catfish for $16 bucks. Can't beat it!

First time coming to Smashin Crab and we will definitely be returning! The staff was attentive and explained the full menu. We had seen Flight Chicken at the Texas Eats when they had it at Skybar so we asked the manager if they had it here ...... and they sell it here! My kiddos got the fried chicken and it was delicious! We opted for the boil with shrimp, potatoes, sausage and snow crab legs, medium spicy extra garlic next time I'll ask for less lemon since I think too much overpowers the garlic spiciness. Either way sooo good!

Came here for a group lunch of about 8. I think this place is pretty new for the lunch crowd because it wasn't full. We were probably the only ones. I think it might be more of an after work/weekend spot. Either way, it's a cool venue with a bar in the middle, lounge chairs on the perimeter, and outdoor seating. I ordered the veggie flatbread and it was pretty standard. It was a good size for lunch. I wasn't stuffed so that was good. I'd like to come back and try a few drinks and see what it's like in the night time.

"The half shell raw oysters were so delicious and fresh!!! My friend and I had literally 24! 2Dozen !!! of oysters!!! Service at the time we went ,kinda went right at closing time ,the man was pretty amazing! and we sat outside ONLY TWO PEOPLE! It was fun! totally recommend!"
"I'm so happy they built a Smashing crab in the Alamo Ranch area. Anytime I don't feel like cooking, it's this spot for the win. Service is always on point with friendly staff and the wait is never long. I recently tried the Lobster Pasta and it's now my new fav"
"We had a reservation for 14 people. When are group arrived we were sat at 2 different tables.When we asked if the tables could be moved together we were told they didn't have space. I feel like if the tables were not together this is something that should have been stated at the time of the reservation obefore seating us. So we ended up with a reservation for 6 and 8. Not ideal. The music was a little loud for my taste but we could still have a conversation so it was acceptable. I was a little annoyed our waiter decided to rap along with the song while I was trying to put in my order. Had some issues with getting our food, ordered things that were forgotten. Our 2nd table didn't get their food til 20 minutes after our table did. Guess this was fine since we weren't seated together. Our meals came out and everything was prepared well and tasted pretty good. Ordered dessert, yeah they forgot all of the dessert orders so we canceled those. Would have like to have tried them too. Overall, not a great experience for our group. With the mishaps of the night. I would like to give this place another chance with a smaller group to see if the service improves and try more of the food."
"They are so friendly here. The food is delicious and fresh. We were only in town for the weekend and was so glad we found this place."
"I ordered from here for the first time and once again, YELP did not disappoint!! I got the shrimp and wings and wedge fries! The OG sauce was amazing!!! They were really know how to season their food!! Love this place!!"
"Just moved from Las Vegas and I must say I was very impressed. Jaime our waitress, made our first seafood boil find here such a fun and rememberable experience. Than you Jamie for the Boudin balls recommendation 10/10! definitely will be back."
