"This place use to be nice lately slowly and slowly the appearance has gone down hill the outside is trashy. Upon arrival and first being seated I noticed trash under the table so I looked under and the attached picture is what was under there. Food was on point as always the atmosphere was just dead and dirty."

"We are new to the area and decided to try the Crafty Crab for a casual date night. We had an excellent experience. Both of us got the lobster special (lobster tail, shrimp, corn, egg, potatoes and crab legs) and a side of sausage. The whole thing was hot and perfectly cooked. None of meat was dry and the seasoning was excellent. I got the butter garlic medium spicy and he got the spice mix also medium spicy. I thought the spice was just right but he said he wished it was just a tiny bit hotter. Our server was super friendly and checked on us regularly without being overbearing. She brought our utensils, gloves, etc. before the pots even came out. The place was clean and we waited a very short time for our food (though we didn’t go on the weekend, so it was probably faster than usual)."

"As someone hailing from Mexico, it's not every day that I come across a place that offers a genuine taste of southern seafood boils. However, my quest to savor this delightful culinary experience led me to Crafty Crab in Raleigh, and I must extend my heartfelt gratitude to Mauricia, our exceptional waitress, for making this outing truly phenomenal. From the moment we stepped in, it was evident that Crafty Crab took their seafood seriously. The food was an absolute revelation, and the impeccable seasoning and top-notch quality of ingredients were simply outstanding. We opted for a small plate, but it felt like a grand feast, featuring an array of delectable treasures – snow crab, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn, crawfish, scallops, and more. Every bite was a burst of flavors, leaving us in awe of the generous servings; it took three of us to conquer it! Mauricia's service was a highlight of the evening. Her attentiveness and warm hospitality truly enhanced our dining experience. She deserves special recognition for her impeccable service, which made us feel right at home. Regrettably, I only managed to snap a single picture during our visit, a testament to how engrossed we were in savoring every moment and morsel. Crafty Crab not only satisfied our seafood cravings but also created a memorable culinary adventure that we won't soon forget. If you're on the hunt for an authentic taste of southern seafood boils, look no further than Crafty Crab in Raleigh. The fantastic food, generous portions, and exceptional service, exemplified by Mauricia, make it a must-visit destination for seafood enthusiasts. I'm eagerly looking forward to my next visit to explore even more of their tempting offerings."
