I do enjoy the music here and it's a very cool place to hangout however how the food is alright at best. Jerk chicken shouldn't have a sweet, sticky sauce. Feta cheese on shrimp tacos that already have 2 sauces, onions, and red cabbage is too much. Additionally, you have an all-you-can-eat happy hour but you can only bring out one option at a time. That's fine but then I should be able to take my food I don't finish home. If I can only order an entree after completing the previous 1, I should be able to take my unfinished entree home, it's not a buffet.

Went for dinner at 7pm on a Sunday and the kitchen was closed, so they only had fried food. Prices were ridiculous for loaded fries with crabmeat it was $40., but they didn't have crabmeat. My husband ordered the Margarita flight and the drinks were very basic. I ordered a peach martini and it was very sweet, could barely taste the alcohol. This was my second time here, I'll be ok if I didn't go back. Prices are very high.

I would like to thank Victor (the manager) for a pleasant accommodation. The food was amazing. I couldn't believe it was that darn good I will say the drinks were not something to talk about but the service the atmosphere, and the food is worth going back seven times.

It is located within a small plaza with multiple businesses. The entrance is in the back with the parking lot. It is kinda hard to spot the restaurant at first. Bar area is for those who are walk-ins and seated areas for those with a reservation. It takes a while before someone notices you when you walk in. Once we were seated, I decided to do the $15.99 all-you-can eat tacos. The chicken tacos were delicious, and so were the shrimp tacos. I do think the shrimp tacos had too much sauce on them. The portion size for the tacos was very filling. The margaritas definitely packed a punch. The music was really good. Our waitor was nice. The service was a little disorganized. Nonetheless, I still had a nice time but I wouldn't come for a special night. This seems like more of a relaxed outing location.

Customer Service was trash. Waited an hour for my appetizer, appetizer was trash. then waited another hour for my entree, entree was cold & trash. I will never come here again. Over priced for no reason !

I went there last weekend and was turned away because of a party that was happening. I decided to give it another try for date night, even though I was disappointed with my food and service at the Kenilworth location. This was my first time at this location. I ordered the same meal, and it was much better and well seasoned. Drinks are good. I love a good margarita where establishments don't use the pre-made mixes. For service, you have to get the waiter each time, including for drinks. The DJ and music were great. I'm not sure of the bill, but be prepared for gratuity to be added to your check no matter the party size. They have designated nights like ladies' night, and the prices are discounted.

Finding parking was a bit of a hassle, but once we secured a spot, there were plenty available. Upon entering, we were greeted by the bustling bar area, followed by the restaurant beyond the sliding doors. The service left something to be desired. While our server was adequate, they lacked the attentiveness we observed in others. We started with the honey jerk wings and cheese steak egg rolls for appetizers. The wings were a standout, with the perfect balance of sweetness from the honey and heat from the jerk spices. The egg rolls were decent in size and flavor. Moving on to the main course, I opted for the oxtail rasta pasta. While the portion size was generous and the seasoning satisfactory, it didn't quite match up to other rasta pasta dishes I've had in terms of flavor. The meat was inconsistently cooked, with some parts tender while others were chewy. Although the pasta dish was enjoyable, the steep price point left much to be desired. Comparable options at other establishments offer similar quality at a more reasonable cost. Service-wise, our server was passable, though not as attentive as we'd hoped. However, the most disappointing aspect was being rushed out shortly after paying our bill. While I understand the need to manage space during busy periods, being asked to leave mere minutes after settling the bill dampened the mood. Overall, it might be worth exploring for its nightlife scene, but I'm hesitant to return for the dining experience alone.

It was a nice experience. I couldn't find the place at first because the Neon sign above the restaurant said BONDS. The inside is nice. Their Rum Punch is amazing. Their Sweet Chili Shrimp (got a kick to it), Honey Garlic Wings and Jerk Honey Wings were amazing. I really enjoyed my food but there were a couple of issues. We came to celebrate 3 birthdays. My sister (one of the 3 we were celebrating) order their tomahawk steak meal first, they didn't have any defrosted and said it would take too long to defrost. Then she ordered their Oxtail rasta pasta and they were out of oxtails. They were also out of mash potatoes. The manager gave her a margarita flight to kinda make up for the inconvenience. A couple of the other orders of Rasta Pasta were a little dry. We sang happy birthday with 3 different cakes and sang it the Stevie Wonder way. I liked how the staff jumped right into the song with us. Overall it was pretty good.
We stood at the bar and were ignored by the bartender as she wiped down the bar. We stayed because we were invited for a get together and wanted to support a black business but the atmosphere made us lose our appetite so we left after our first round of drinks. This was not so experience allowed us to try another local black owned establishment that was welcoming with great food. I wish them the best but I won't be back.

Dined in over the weekend for a galentines dinner and man I’m kind of disappointed with this location. For starters, my friends and I called this place a couple times to move our reservation time and no one picks up. Mind you I had gotten 2 missed calls from them, and then it felt like I was playing phone tag with them. We got there only to wait 25 more minutes after being told our table would be ready every 5 minutes. Service was beyond slow with our waitress and even the head manager of crabbae. When I asked the manager for a few things for our table I had to keep reminding him. The service was so bad we ended up wanting to just paying for our drinks and leaving but right after our food came. Food was overall pretty good, but it doesn’t make up for the terrible service. If I were to go back to crabbae it would be kenilworth’s location. I’d never return to this location to dine in. Possibly take out only. Save your self the trip my friends.

The food here was not worth the $150 that I paid. Wanted to go out on a nice date with my wife for our 14th year anniversary and we both was very disappointed. After seeing people go crazy about it on tik tok the atmosphere was good staff was great and so was the service drink was amazing. We started with the jerk honey wings got them and they was hard on the outside and dry in the middle, there was no jerk season on it at all as I thought it would've been. They was more sticky and over dressed in the honey sauce. When we got those is when we should've just not did dinner. We ordered the oxtail rasta pasta and the 2 crab legs with ramen. They sounded great the oxtail was good pasta was bland tasted like there was no salt or anything added. Now the 2 crabs legs with ramen had that from another place which was good. Couldn't imagine messing that up but the ramen was the packs you get from Walmart or shoprite for 30 cents that's not the worse part the crab was soaked in butter which ran into the broth of the ramen and made the ramen taste like nothing but butter. They said it came with andouille sausage which was a lie I had some BREAKFAST SASUSAGE which was cut in half, the was under the ramen that told me that they didn't want me to see it. The crab also was cold in some spots the only good part of it was the shrimp. Would I go back yes but only for drinks not the food the food for this place is over price and the delivery is so underwhelming. Our anniversary dinner was ruined and had to go to wawa on the way home because we was still hungry which was better and far less.
