Just don't. We came to try it out since they had a buy 2 lb & get 1 lb free shrimp, was not worth it! Shrimp bland, had to ask for extra salt, chewy, you can tell it's not fresh shrimp. Did all 3 sauces, no flavor at all. It was just soup at the bottom, not even trace or garlic. Sausage? What sausage? Only got 1 bite sized piece, chewy, horrible taste, spit it right out. And when you say you want sausage, all you get is that 1 little piece for $1 each, ridiculous. Having to specify how many pieces you want, & each being charged at a $1 each.Ambiance. You walk into an empty dead & dingy fish tank as soon as you walk in the door. Should've taken that as a warning sign right away & turned right back out. Rest of the place, going for an alternative rock vibe, just looked run down instead.Don't waste your time, money, or craving!

This place is awesome..Wanted to get some durty seafood and this place fit the bill. I love putting that flimsy plastic bibber! Talk about that goodness!Kid-friendliness: It’s not fine diningParking: Strip mall 90’s layoutDietary restrictions: Seafood allergies beware!

They charge extra for sides & add one little piece. I got one little piece of sausage in my bag, not even the link. No exaggeration, just one. They said a pound of shrimp but it was easily less. It's overpriced for what it does--or doesn't, include. Usually crab places allows you the choice of 2 seafood options. You're better off going to a Cajun Crab Boil, theirs have more flavor & you pay the same for more options

Ordered the crazy pot and crawfish. Everything was awesome. One person who came from New Orleans said it was as good as any restaurant they had.

UPDATE: I spoke with the manager, and she replaced my full meal at no cost, and the second crab boil bag was much better. The potatoes were still huge and undercooked, though. ORIGINAL: I've ordered from here several times. However, this time, my crab legs were cold and tasted old and not fresh. I ordered the 2x's potatoes and sausage and received one sausage, and the potatoes were still hard.

Have given this place a second chance. last Friday ordered 5 pound snow crab and 2 pounds of shrimp total was 190. yes it’s a decent price but what ruined the whole order was the sauce. seriously was disappointed dissatisfied the sauce was super watery non spicy at all. I asked for extreme spicy w extra sauce wasn’t spicy at all just watery. won’t be coming back I will suggest for whom is reading this to try the red crab in Joliet the sauce will satisfy you and amaze you

I've been going to the Roselle location pretty much since they opened. The food is consist, always hot and fresh. They staff even know my order whether I phone in or eat in. Whole Shrimp with white rice - a much try!!

This was our first time trying a seafood boil type place. It was very good and tasty!! My daughter was in heaven. I do wish the 'sides' were larger. I asked for a potato side and one small redskin potato. I wanted more because it was so good! We'd definitely go back and try the combo for $63.

Good place, fast delivery. sometimes the crab juice seems watered down but not all the time. I think it depends who’s cooking lol
Crazy crab, crazy good flavor. Expirence is great and if you want a night off of cooking to enjoy some incredible seafood, this is the place to go.

Over priced absolute garbage! Fried calamari frozen rings drenched in oil onion rings the same. Shrimp? Are they? The only salvageable item.... Garlic noodles (spaghetti, there's that oil again! And Parmesan cheese going for the kill! Are you kidding me????? Oh and ...here comes the grease.....82.00!!! Best part you order on the website and your order goes to the location on Barrington Rd.! You can't make this stuff up people!!!!I can't believe this ALL took only 2 1/2 hours!!Just close already.You HAVE to give a star to post. Trust me the only reason.Oh......no lemon, no sauce, no napkins .

Welp. Shole ain't crazy... ain't nothin' cajun about it.It was rainy, so, we didn't want to make the trip to Angry Crab in the city. We were told this place is the same concept, and decided to give it a try.ANYONE giving this a 4-5 star rating isn't from the south and/or never had a true cajun seafood boil.Let's start with the good:Our server. Amazing!The quality of the seafood. Excellent.We started off with the wings and sweet potato fries. Wings had a good flavor and crunch. But, they weren't hot all the way thru. In fact, the bone was ICE COLD. Others have already had the same experience. This is a problem. Sweet potato fries were ok.Friend ordered King Crab with corn, garlic butter, extra garlic and calm spice. I ordered snow crab, shrimp garlic butter extra garlic and getting crazy spice.The bags came. Hers was salty. Mine had ZERO flavor. The manager came to the table. And bought us a side of "sauce" with more seasoning. Fail.The corn had no flavor and the sausage was HORRIBLE. They took 10% off the bill.As of this moment, I'm still upset that I didn't spend my $80 elsewhere. For $160, we could've had GOOD food elsewhere. Finally, there is no bar. They have beer. That is all.I won't go back.

Been dining in recently and it’s a big difference from when you carry out. The server there is very nice! And the food has been coming out good!

I loved the idea of the food in a bag. The flavor of the crab was amazing. I ordered garlic and butter with a little wild spice.There is a large parking lot with plenty of parking.The restaurant was awesome, you can draw on the tables, walls and chairs while you wait for your food.
