The Crab Box,

402 Washington Street, Marion, AL 36756

"In town from Atlanta to attend chef Scott Peacock’s biscuit making class at Reverie, we booked a B&B on the square in Marion. We were famished. The Mexican restaurant recommended to us was closed at 7:30 on Saturday night. But below the mural of Jimmie Lee Jackson, we saw the OPEN sign for the Crab Box. With 30 minutes before closing, we ended up ordering half of the menu, from crawfish bags, orders of catfish, wings, Cajun fries and even the hand dipped ice cream. Since we ordered so much, we had the time to talk to the owner Betty and her children in the family-run business started as a take-out business during the pandemic. Initially, I was concerned we had ordered too much food for five people. But we happily devoured everything we ordered. Everything was perfectly seasoned and delicious. The only thing better than the Crab Box’s amazing food was the quality of service and the hospitality and friendliness extended to hungry out-of-towners from Betty and her children. We are indebted to them for a fine meal."

"The customer service was great.... but my fries were burnt !!!! So be mindful of that Mrs Cadore because that mess the whole meal up!!!"

"Always get the sweet chili and they’re so good! Recommend highly!! Great service and great people!"

"Great food, great family. Love eating here."

"I'm a huge fan of the Crab Box. I go in about once a week and I've never been anything less than fully satisfied with my experience. The food is excellent, reasonably priced and always comes freshly made and hot. The service is top notch as well. If you are ever in Marion (or looking for an excuse to make your way over there) you need to stop at the Crab Box or your experience will be incomplete."
