Hungry Crab

My wife and I were in Orlando visiting our granddaughter who is working at Universal Studios. She was working so we decided to check out the Hungry Crab. And we are glad we did!Came for an early dinner, so not too busy. But traffic was - took us 45 minutes from resort 2 blocks away! Yikes! We were seated right away and brought menus and drinks. Everything looked good, and the smells wafting through the dining area were heavenly. My wife went for the Combo Boil, Crab & Shrimp, with potatoes and corn. I wanted to try the Gumbo and have the Fried Oyster Platter with Onion Rings.While we waited, I walked around to take pictures, and maybe grab some smells closer to the kitchen. This place is decorated to the Hilt! Sea themes everywhere, even a Pirate at the door to greet you. Take it all in. I also chatted with the little Bot at the front. I believe you could send him with message or to make a trip to a specific table. But I was afraid I'd mess something up.My Gumbo came and was not disappointing. Great flavors of the Bayou and some kick. We both loved it. Then my wife's Boil came in a huge plastic balloon. When she opened it, the flavors just burst out. She loved it. My Oysters were lightly breaded, crispy but still juicy inside and my Rings were great, real onions!Great food, great service, quiet enough to talk. Will be backing to see Granddaughter again and take her here - after 7:00 PM, not 5:00!

The food was so flavorful and delicious. The decor and ambiance was very cute; it felt like I was on a pirate ship. The service was amazing. I definitely recommend the place and will be returning next time I'm in town !!!

We've dined at this location twice, once for a mid week lunch and once for Sunday dinner. Hungry crab does not disappoint. Whether it's slow or busy, the quality of the food and service is consistently top notch. I had a hurricane and it was really good. My crab cakes appetizer and shrimp and snow crab boil were so delicious. My husband had the fried snapper basket and a couple sides. That snapper was fried to perfection. Everything was 10 out of 10!

Food was delicious! My husband had not eaten crawfish before and he loved it. We had great cocktails and the service was great! They were attentive and kind! Plus, the beach/boat decor was super fun! Great place for groups and families!

Soo...o delicious Cannot wait to come back again. Good service too. Great decorations!

Honestly this place needs a 10/10. The food is sooooo good and the price are amazing. The place has a feel to it that makes your brain prepare to consume seafood. The staff are really friendly and know the menu well. Every recommendation they made was a hit success. My wife and the kids all loved it. We loved the food so much we brought a friend to the restaurant a few days later to expose them to the great food and he loved it too! The fried catfish is really flavorful. The fried snapper is on another level. I've never had snapper fried before this place and trust me if you haven't had it you're missing out. The bbq wings were just right. The corn is mouthwatering. My wife said the snow crab and shrimp combo rocked. The crab bites she also said were really good. Our server Avery did a fantastic job and we loved the service. It wasn't loud in the restaurant so we were able to talk and hear each other unlike in some other places. I love this place. We will be back.

Hungry special combo S1 for $33.95. Included snow crab, shrimp, mussels, corn on the cob (soaked up the juices so yummy), potato and hard boiled eggs. They also have $10 lunch specials which is what drew me in. Shrimp/ mussels etc. So glad I stopped here rather than nearby chic fil a / Arby's / Wawa / Panda Express. The hungry seasoning / sauce was the best I've had at a crab boil restaurant. We got medium spicy which is a bit hot but was just right (for kids I'd go mild). Service was great and we were in and out pretty quickly. Garlic breadsticks were fine but a Texas toast or other bread would've soaked up the broth better. I'm visiting from California and we could never find these deals at a crab boil! We walked away with full bellies and happy :) Ambience was super cute as well. Great decor. Big roomy restaurant.

Now that was fun!! The entire family was messy and full when we were done - and we wouldn't have wanted it any other way.We ordered the Festival. After getting advice on how to separate shells from meat the fam went to town.Our server was outstanding as he nailed our order, kept our drinks full, and provided the training mentioned above.Thanks for a great time!

Restaurant menu and meals consumed were good. The opportunity is to reduce the amount of sodium., This would improve the flavor internationally.

Well I wish I was giving a glowing review / but sadly it seems this restaurant has gone down hill , maybe a new owner ? Don't know . This is my oldest Daughters favorite restaurant (35yrs old ) after our last visit in Dec 2024 she claimed she would never go back , the food ( fried shrimp , calamari, etc came out a dirty brown color ? The waitress said the oil needed to be changed ! Food was terrible all around dry shrimp , greasy French fries ... Use to be my go to when ever one of my daughters came to visit from NYC . Not anymore - 3 people 174.00 and we did not enjoy any of the food . Sad
