The Twisted Crab - Buford

"We tried Twisted Crab for the first time today. Came in on a Saturday around lunchtime, it was not crowded and we were seated immediately. The vibe is very modern; it's nicely decorated and the bar area feels like somewhere you'd want to hang out. On to the food - we started with fried cheese sticks and even though that's a really basic menu item, they were thick and tasty with the marinara. DH and I both ordered the T1 (snow crab, shrimp, sausage, 2 potatoes and 2 corns), hot, with Twisted sauce. It arrived in steamy bags in a big metal bucket; we were provided with a shared crab cracker, plastic gloves and a bib, wipes and a plastic fork. Thus prepared, we dumped our bags of food into the metal plates and found a substantial amount of very hot food. A cluster of snow crab legs was decently sized, the shrimp were really good and the sausage was tasty. Hot is actually pretty spicy but not excessively. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Service was good, no complaints there; our waitress was also the bartender and she was very sweet, explained how everything works since we were first timers. Host was friendly and attentive. I would definitely go back, it was a really good experience."

"The food was good. I expected the sauce to be better. Drinks were good as well. Our server didn’t even acknowledge us after waiting 15 mins. I had to stare at her while helping a table that had just been seated before she asked if we’d been helped. The music selection was nice. The tables were prepped with games and crayons for a little entertainment. The bar offered a variety of drinks and multiple big screens for different sports. Overall, it was a cool experience."

"Everything was delicious! My daughter and I really enjoyed it. We’ll definitely be back! We ordered seafood and two appetizers. Alex was great! You’ll have to come to see her! You’ll enjoy it!"

"I visited The Twisted Crab in Buford, Georgia, because a friend suggested it was better than some of the other similarly named seafood restaurants in the area. I found it to be a great value that offered a very nice atmosphere and delicious seafood platters. The prices were very affordable and the atmosphere was spacious and very family friendly. The service was good, and they offered half-price appetizers and drinks on Sunday; which made it even more affordable. There is plenty of parking and wheelchair accessibility. I would highly recommend this establishment for Sunday dinner with family or friends!"

"Got to try the newer location last night and it did not disappoint! Since it was a Thursday night it was not very busy and they had a special of a plate that was only 19.99!! It came with Crab Legs, Shrimp, Potatoes, Sausage and Corn, normally it’s 36.95 I think. Anyway they also had a DJ playing good music because it was Karaoke night! Oh and they have Happy Hour discounts on drinks so I tried the Pineapple Express. Delicious and refreshing. My son just got straight up a pound of crab legs and a Pepsi and our total bill was $66 bucks! Now looking at their menu I’m sure if you go on a Friday or weekend and order things a certain way you could spend well over a hundred or 2 depending on how many are in your party. Anyway, the Cajun seasoning was delicious as well and we were dipping each bite of everything in the sauce because it was so addictive! I took some pics so check out each pic of what I described above. Bar is HUGE and looks fun to hang out to eat at and watch sports if that is your preference as well."
