About

Red Crab offers a classic seafood boil experience that many find delicious, especially when the 'Juicy Special' sauce is on point. However, the business suffers from significant operational issues, including long wait times for pickup and inconsistent service. While some customers have great experiences, others report issues with food quality, such as overcooked or salty seafood. It is a polarizing spot that seems to struggle with high volume.
