I recently went here and was dissatisfied. When I first walked in I waited at the front for about 20 minutes until my family and I were seated. I mean the bartender was starring at us while making another customer a drink. Staff members walked by etc. I was enjoying the food until I started peeling my shrimp in the boil. I realized the intestinal tract was still in the shrimp, meaning poop was still in the shrimp. So the shrimp was not cleaned properly and that alone shut me down from finishing my food. Also during my visit kids were just running around the restaurant. It just seems like this place didn’t care about their customers. The amount of money spent does not match the service or quality.

The food is good, The staff is helpful and nice. The place is never full at weekday lunch which is odd but super nice how quiet it is.

The food here is really good. The portion size is great. They aren't great about getting refills on drinks but I think that is just because they get really busy at times and not a lot of help.

Over price, left hungry, husband never had a crab boil before. He was not impressed, told him this is not a good example of a crab boil. Never been back. That was a year ago.

Ricky, my server was absolutely awesome. Awesome! Full of smiles. Very helpful. Now the food from the snow crab to the shrimp to the muscles to the sausage. Everything was absolutely tender . Cooked to perfection. Rubbery and nothing undercooked absolutely some of the best seafood that I've had in the longest time. And I eat out all the time ?? Great job!????❤️ Not to mention the wrong oysters were extremely tender. Cleaned no grit at all and they were just so big and meaty. Worth every penny.

I recently ordered golden crab via Grubhub, hoping to satisfy a seafood craving. While online orders can sometimes be hit or miss, I was excited to indulge. However, as I delved into my boil, I discovered a piece of metal-like string, possibly from the seafoods bag’s tie, in my food. This unsettling find left me unable to continue eating, especially considering I'm currently pregnant and concerned about potential hazards. Additionally, the clams in my order were improperly cleaned, as I found myself biting into sand and what felt like rocks. As a loyal customer of Golden Crab, I'm disappointed by this experience. I urge them to improve their handling of online orders to match the quality of their dine-in service. Please, do better.

FEON was genuinely the best waitress we’ve ever had. It was an absurdly busy Valentine’s night, but she made an effort to be attentive, kind, and welcoming.I will certainly be back, and the food was nothing short of spectacular! We had the COMBO A crab boil with a half pound of clams. Worth it!! Great prices, better times. Love the Golden Crab!!! Again, shout out to Feon for memorable 5 star service!

Went with my brother. Forgot a pic. But it looks like every other crab boil pic you've seen.I had the "A" menu combo. That has a half pound of shrimp and half pound snow crab legs and half pound black mussels. I got the house season, with mild spicy.My brother had the "D" combo. It has one pound snow crab and half pound shrimp. He had the butter sauce, no spicy.We both had water and with tip it was $84. Filling, good, expensive. If you like seafood boils than this is good. It's nice that you can choose your seasoning and spice level. I'm going hotter than mild and my brother says he'll definitely get at least the mild next time and the house seasoning.I'd say worthy of a try. Just expect it to be pricy. There are more choices than the combos that would be cheaper. I'm interested in trying sausage, and shrimp a la carte, not the big combo. See other people's pics for the menu. It's all there. Not a soul in there but my brother and myself. Nice decor and very clean.Enjoy!

The food was good and the seasoning was spot on! The waitstaff were efficient and polite, but no one seemed friendly or welcoming. We were out to celebrate my husband's birthday and were interested in dessert, but the ticket was just left at our table as the waitress walked by heading to another table. There were not a lot of customers and many empty tables, so I would have hoped for a little more attention and service. We will go back, but we hope for a more friendly experience.Parking: Entrance is a bit difficult to find; turn on the side street and go beyond the restraunt, almost to the next business, to turn in.

Not a good atmosphere, newer utensils are required. Combos are so chaos in a good way.
