Reviews for Crafty Crab Brandon in Brandon, FL
Good enough food. Service was not very good. The server was playing with his phone alot and I had to call him for drink refill.
Crafty Crab was the very first seafood boil restaurant to open in Brandon. I've tried all the other restaurants with the same... concept in this area. Yep, there are three other places. So, why not save the first one that opened in Brandon for last? Thatmakes no sense at all, but I'm glad that I did. There were only a few patrons dining the whole time I was there between noonand 1pm. Fortunately, I had my choice of seating. The restaurant is clean, cool, and comfortable. The menu varies in price rangefrom just under $10 for a half pound of your choice of seafood to a little over $70 for a pound of king crab legs. There arefour sauces that you can get at different heat levels. The last of the four is a combination of Cajun, garlic butter, and lemonpepper, and it's called "The Boom" sauce. Sounds familiar, right? I decided to go with what I love. I usually get a half dozensteamed oysters as an appetizer along with a half pound of green mussels in the combo sauce. What I think is unique is that youcan also add ramen noodles to your boil bag for an additional charge. In fact, this is the only restaurant of its type in thearea that does this. It seriously is the best way to soak up that yummy sauce (besides a side of steamed rice). I wish all theseafood boil restaurants had ramen as an add on. Anyway, all was good with the exception of the sauce. The Boom sauce wasextremely salty in the bag. I didn't notice it being that way on the steamed oysters, so I'm not sure why it tasted so salty inthe bag. I do want to go back and try the garlic butter next time just to compare the two sauces. I think that was the onlyissue I had. The mussels were a good size and tasty. The potatoes were a generous size as well. The service was fantastic!Charli made sure I had everything that I needed, and she checked in on me often to make sure I was happy. She was super sweet &helpful, and I hope I get her again next time. There will be more lunch time visits. Especially since th Read more
