"The place was empty and this should’ve been my heads up of what was to come. My server was awesome. She was polite, not knowledgeable, but sweet. We only stayed for her then quickly realized she didnt know anything about the menu then volunteered info that she has only had one thing on the menu!!! it’s says a lot when an employee won’t eat somewhere. she had genuine knowledge about a single item on the menu. The place had one table besides us and i found out why. In addition, this was the smallest “pound” of crawfish i’ve received in my life.. My food was horrible. I got the wings and a pound of crawfish. The crawfish was extremely over cooked and bland beyond belief. The wings were fried to a crisp and doused heavily in lemon pepper seasoning. We ate one crawfish each then asked for checks. We took care of our server but will never be back. Worse crawfish ever. The fact that the building was empty now makes sense. Don’t go waste your money here. I brought the food home in an attempt to season and salvage. literally cooking on my stove and adding seasoning… but it’s about to simply go in the trash."
"We frequent two other Crab Barracks locations in the area and this is our first time at this one. It was clean and accommodating though we were the only ones in the restaurant. The food was fantastic! We had the boiled seafood bag with shrimp and lobster tail and corn and sausage and potatoes! We like the “medium” house mix but all the spice options are good. If you don’t like spicy, just choose the mild option. Friendly service, though the server seemed that they had to wear many hats including server, bartender, hostess, etc. We really enjoyed this place, though!!"
"My friends and I went here and as soon as we walked in a waitress named Aspen hugged all of us and told us about her family problems, as we ordered she didn’t really let us order she just ordered us a bunch of extra things we didn’t even know. As the food began to come out it was completely random things we didn’t even know and we knew that we did not want them or even order it in the first place . She just kept saying it was whatever because she only made us pay the lunch time price and that’s it, at tryna time she had already printed our receipts out 10 minutes before. We first ordered water and the only word to describe it is quite literally creamy, it was awful. The miso soup was also super thick. We later ordered sprites but since she had already give us the receipt she said it was free and she’ll pay for it out of her pocket, after that she counted in front of us how much would be coming out of her pocket. She kept letting us know that the manager was looking at the computer to see if she had charged us for the dinner price because she claimed lunch ended at 1 o’clock. She touched us throughout and just made us feel very uncomfortable. When she brought the togo boxes she started putting the food away for us when we weren’t even done and even grabbed some of the food with her hand. I asked if I could add a california roll at one point but she said that it was too late because she would have to take all of our tickets back and re split all of our tickets. That already makes zero sense because it’s all you can eat, me adding something shouldn’t effect my friends tickets, and she had already printed our ticket out anyways. As she started cleaning our table up she found my friends ticket where the tip said $2, which was honestly deserved. She proceeded to ask my friend did she really mean to tip this and then said if you need your last $2 you can just keep it. Overall awful experience."
"Went in at 10pm(they close at 11) not crowded at all. We waited 10 mins to be seated then when the bartender came over she says we close in 20 mins so they only doing carry outs. Cool. But the food was horrible. The lobsters was rubbery. The shrimp was bland and rubbery. Crabs were nasty. The only good part was the drinks and corn. Waste of $90!! I will never go back to this location."
"Love this place for the lunch all you can eat sushi! Sushi small than usual so I can try more, and warm rice, fantastic!"
