I was on a date so did not take picsDietary restrictions: They have a vast menu site you will find somethingParking: They are in a shopping center it gets crowded so be aware of that and your surroundings.Kid-friendliness: Yes family friendly place the music is loud when they have a DJ we went on a Saturday afternoon it was loud to meWheelchair accessibility: They have a large section behind the booths so wheelchairs can get through

Don't let the location scare you off - I've ordered takeout several times from this location & it's always hot, fresh & packed well.

Ordered seafood broil with King crab legs and pd of shrimp, and crabs bites. Order was $105.00 and got home to see that I was given only 2 crab legs that cost me $50 bucks. Call back and lady says oh we only put 2 king legs in the broil for a pd, and it's 1 for half pd. Where they do that at? We are Baltimore natives and I have never, so chalk this as a lost didn't feel like driving back down in dead traffic. Never again and word to the wise do not order this broil.

I've been eating here often but I guess today was a bad day to dine. Tasted no seasoning on anything & I ordered the boom sauce & barely any shrimp, potatoes tasted unwashed & to add injury to insult i bought extra potatoes...my first disappointing visit

Celebrated a friend's birthday and it was a good time! I had the loaded Cajun rice, fish and crabcakes! We had oysters and boil bags and THE DRANKS!!! LAWWTY THEM DRANKS!! We stopped to give the bartender his very own tip drill because he was very intentional in making our bday cocktails! Nice ambiance. Clean environment and restrooms. It wasn't too busy when we went but we did have a little wait for our food and drinks. Overall great vibe!Vegetarian options: Vegetable stir fry and other meat free options.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly environment. There are adult music and karaoke nights as well as local DJs sometimes.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp entrance from parking lot. Restaurant is floor level with a stage. There are seated areas that have one stair as well.

Food and service have been good both times that I have went. That said, I have never got one of the boils.

Delicious! I was thinking about how good it was all the next day!Also I have a pretty severe allergy. I explained it to the server and she made sure the kitchen knew. The manager even came out to make sure what they were making was ok. I felt very safe with the kitchen, which is not the case a lot of the time. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

I have been to crafty crab multiple times but this was my first time ordering the steam oysters (boom sauce) medium spicy. LISTEN. I'll go every day if I could! They were amazing. I also ordered the scallops medium spicy with boom sauce and they were good as well.

Today we visited to eat while we were eating the employee began to mop in front of the kitchen where we were seated leaving a very strong odor of what smelled to be bleach my and my boss decided to try and eat through it as the smell still lingered on the air my boss was unable to finish his food do to the smell making him nauseous and a terrible headache the server agreed that it was not right for them to do that while we were eating while she brought it to the manager attention he came over and instead of greeting us he just said "that's not bleach" he offered 10% off and was just over all insulting and didn't seem to care just wanted his dollar my boss ended up having to go to the hospital for chemical exposure. Will never return here again the wings were terrible the soda had a after taste
