Reviews for Crackin' Crab in Amarillo, TX
This style restaurant is what I like to call seafood in a bag. I am from DFW, working here in town and decided to stop by due to... a friend's recommendation, we have many of these back home. This particular one tho, was the best seafood in a bag I have beenin. The spice sauce is a perfect combination of flavor and heat ( I got mild lemon pepper) Scallops were cooked perfectly. Halfpound of scallops and half pound of shrimp was enough to fill me up.. and I can eat. Also, both managers/owners are veryfriendly and talk to you like they have known you for years. It was a pleasure to meet them and eat here. Amarillo businessesare struggling (from what I see in a week's time) to get customers. Come try this place out. It's totally worth it. You won't bedisappointed. Read more
To start we ordered the blue point oysters. The oysters where very good so it was a good start. That was the only good thing... about our visit. The Dungeness crab had no flavor at all. The shrimp was chewy, and the crayfish was so small that even a Barbydoll would would complain. Sorry but I will never go back. Read more
We met the owner they were nice and very friendly. The waiter was very nice and friendly very helpful. I really loved the decor... and atmosphere. I don't typically get sauce on my seafood but this side was something else i ordered it on the side the spiceswere just right it made the flavor of the food pop instead of covering it up. I would recommend going all day everyday Read more
I want to start off by saying this food was very good! The place is clean and the service was good also. However, the menu is a... little lacking, and the seasoning was a little over kill. Way too much seasoning for the amount of food in the boil. It wasstill tasty, just too much. It?s true that good food is worth the wait but, when there is 4 other people in the restaurant andit still takes an hour to get your food, that?s a little disappointing. (Especially when you have a 3 year old who is ready toeat, like, yesterday lol.) it?s also a bit pricey but we are in the panhandle so, that?s understandable. We will def go back.Just thought maybe this review could help. Read more

Food was incredible their biggest problem is location it has nothing to do with the quality of the food. Our waitress was very... respectful and helped us with whatever we needed. HIGHLY recommend to anyone who likes Cajun seafood and is okay with getting alittle messy(they have forks but thats no fun). Read more
A couple of things to know about Crackin' Crab: 1. Expect to use your hands and get messy (they do give you gloves and plenty of... moist towelettes, though) 2. The dishes are not cheap, BUT you will definitely get a ton of food We came here during lunch timeon a Tuesday, we had the place to ourselves. The music was a bit loud at first, but they turned it down. The restaurant was VERYclean, which was nice. Looking at the menu, the prices kind of caught me off guard, but keep in mind, they base their pricesoff the current market rate of seafood, so there will be fluctuations. Price aside, we got a TON of food. Not bad. We werecompletely stuff with leftovers for another meal. This place was a nice find. Will come back again. Read more
Great food but service needs work. I'm not a needy guy I usually eat alone so I generally only need tea. Server brings my food... and it was great. 25 mins later I hadn't seen my server again or anyone else. After pretty much yelling for help I eventuallygot my own drink refill. I had to finally go to the kitchen to get help. I could have walked out several time had I been a thiefso the servers response was to tell me they were all busy and the girl that was clearly close enough to hear my calls was tobusy eating to mention to anyone I needed help. 50$ in food for a place that doesn't care about its dinners. I was rude in theslightest but was still treated like it was my problem I needed help. Read more
