Food arrives super fast, boil comes in a bag so everything stays warm! Highly recommend the lychee-tini. Scallop, snow crab also really recommended. I was a party of 2 and was seated immediately. The environment is lively and you don't feel rushed.

Friday night and no wait is a rare situation so it was great. Service was awesome and so was the food which came out hot and fast. The drinks were strong and nicely mixed. The price point was good if you are on a budget for their seafood offerings.

Amazing spot for ayce seafood boil. The have a great selection of proteins to choose from. I love that lobster rolls are included. I will be back!!

The food was good overall. Pricing is ok these days and the service was great. We had an amazing waitress named Lina. She made this experience a great one. She was always smiling, gives positive vibes, and made me leave this place feeling so much better. The place was mysterious because it was dark and had sea vibes. (Since this is an “All u can eat seafood buffet”) Overall, I would recommend coming here. :)

It was my first time trying a seafood broil, and I can honestly say it was an absolute delight. The seafood was incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and bursting with flavor — and the servers were genuinely kind and attentive. The atmosphere was whimsical and lively, with plenty of birthday celebrations adding to the fun vibe. As a trained professional chef, I can truly appreciate the quality and care that went into each dish. We were lucky to catch the lunch special and added on lobster tails and snow crab — the portions were huge, and we all left happy and full. I highly recommend this spot for friends and family you’re comfortable getting a little messy with — between the gloves, bibs, and bags of seafood, it’s all part of the fun. Come for a great time, stay for the amazing food.

5/5. The waitress was friendly and continuous gave us new gloves before we even have to ask for them. The bathroom was clean. The food was really yummy! We came during lunch time ($29.99 AYCE) and that was enough for us. We got the snow crab legs and Dungeness crabs for an extra $5 per order and it was worth it. I would recommend you coming here and trying it out.

Second time here! On one occasion for dinner and today to try their $29.99 all-you-can-eat lunch special. They charge $5 per snow crab legs, part of the lunch offer. I quickly switched to dinner all you can eat upon realizing (I love crab legs) haha. The lunch bargain is fantastic if crab legs aren't your thing because it comes with everything else: shrimp, scallops, blue crabs, calamari, and more. In my opinion, this is one of the better joints in the neighborhood; stop by if you're nearby. Lastly, I really appreciate the number of helpful and friendly staff. Dinner is $59.95 and children under 4.5 feet tall $29.95 for dinner.

One of the greatest values for your money and the food tastes great...Only thing I suggest is that when you order your 2nd round of seafood especially if they are crab legs make sure they are hot..straight out steamer..My 2nd & 3rd round was cold had to send both back to be steamed ..Make sure you try the crab cakes !

The monster crab was very clean and well-kept, which made for a great first impression. The atmosphere was really nice,comfortable, welcoming, and perfect for relaxing or enjoying a meal with friends. The food was prepared very well and tasted fresh and flavorful. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely come back again! Especially for the oysters and fried chicken wings !

Food is very good. You can choose your own boil or share one with your family. The servers are super attentive!! They also supply bibs, gloves, scissors, and crab crackers. The seafood always tastes fresh and you can adjust the spiciness level to your taste. Raw oysters and clams included in AYCE dinner menu, so worth it if you're like me and can eat 60 in one sitting 🤣 I would come more often if it was more affordable. The star off for atmosphere is that it is super dark inside the restaurant - difficult for older adults to see what they're eating.

Outstanding seafood boil buffet with $1 cocktails to boot. The flavors in the garlic butter and house blend sauces seeped into the crab legs, with enough garlicky goodness to satisfy any Chinese or Italian. The lobster rolls were stuffed with fresh, juicy, lightly buttered lobster pieces sourced from claw, body, and tail. Battered soft shell crab and cod were juicy and tender, with enough seasoning to tide you over even without the tasty spicy sauce. I’m writing this review because I want this place to survive as it is now decades into the future; it is my go-to weekend reward. Amazing deals and great service.

I'd like to begin by saying that I wasn't particularly fond of the dollar cocktails; They taste like juice and water. I would suggest sticking to the beer and wine from the menu. The food was incredibly satisfying. Each seafood dish was perfectly seasoned. We enjoyed a little of everything--the lobster roll, crab legs, calamari, and shrimp--and it was all delicious. The service was wonderful, with the waitstaff being very attentive. The restroom was exceptionally clean. The restaurant and restroom had a pleasant, softly lit ambiance. I would highly recommend this establishment for large parties. There was an abundant amount of food. It was delicious.

If you're a seafood lover, the all-you-can-eat seafood experience at The Monster Crab is an absolute must-try. From the moment you step in, the inviting atmosphere sets the stage for a culinary adventure. The highlight of the meal has to be the crab legs—massive, juicy, and bursting with flavor. My favorite bites were the three types of crab: blue crab, Dungeness, and snow crab. Each variety offers its own unique taste and texture, making it hard to choose a favorite. The bustling crowds of diners ensure that everything is super fresh and replenished frequently. But the offerings don’t stop there; the selection is impressive, featuring everything from succulent shrimp, lobster rolls, lobster bisque , clam chowder, fried soft shell crab, and tender calamari. The abalone was especially noteworthy—so tender and juicy, it added a luxurious touch that elevated the entire dining experience. Each dish is crafted with care, ensuring every bite is delicious. The service is attentive but not intrusive, allowing you to focus on enjoying the feast. With so much variety and the freedom to indulge as much as you like, The Monster Crab is perfect for anyone wanting to satisfy their cravings. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just treating yourself, this seafood haven delivers an unforgettable experience.

This place is definitely top tier as far as the whole boil and bag, Cajun food scene goes. They offer amazing takes on a bunch of delicious dishes. The best thing moving is the all you can eat special. They give you a menu to check off everything you want, if you want it again you only have to ask and it's brought out in minutes for you. The food is very good. On a personal note I don't care for ANY food that doesn't have at least a sprinkle of salt. Cause does not take away the super fresh flavor of food. That may just be me. But that's the only reason for the 4 star on there food. The service was amazing everyone is on it. They were almost at our table before we asked for them...lol. the atmosphere was outstanding. There is absolutely a return visit in the immediate future to Monster Crab. Thank you for a great time .

First time here. The food was dynamic. The service was amazing. Went for the buffet. Which was all you can eat for a set price. Which was a lot of variety. You pick what you want and it is brought out to you. The food was so fresh and tasty. Clean establishment and the service was amazing. I would definitely comeback and I recommend for others to try. I went with my close relative . I ordered shrimp which was cooked with a Cajun spice and was oh so tasty I also tried crab legs and soft shell and fried shrimp onion rings corn on the cob and salad . It was all amazing . Happy eating g

Absolutely amazing food but just the warning to everyone. Your steam bags come extremely large. They serve the food in large quantities on the all you can eat. Other than that it was just way too much food per person. Just a warning order small quantities at a time on your appetizers because they will fill you up before you get your main. Unfortunately you cannot take your leftover food home. I was told that they do donate the food to the homeless. I hope so because that is a lot of food to go to waste.

The mussels, fried pickles, lobster rolls, steamed veggies, and clams were declious. As a salad lover you can pass on the salads. The drinks were well worth it. It was a bit noisy but a fun experience nevertheless. Highly recommend and will be coming back.

Fast service, fresh food, and friendly staff for a Friday late dinner. No long wait times and the all-you-can-eat deal is excellent value, allowing multiple rounds of ordering. Only complaint is the Cajun sauce was overly salty, requiring constant drinks. Aside from that, it’s a solid choice!

The Monster Crab is a welcome little escape in the area, with tons of good seafood, great priced drinks, and a fun nautical atmosphere. A couple of beers and a bag of steamed shrimp/mussels did not break the bank, and I appreciate that they have Yuengling as an offering. I’ll add that the restrooms here are also really nice. Aside from being well decorated, they provide a touch-free experience for the soap and faucet along with the option of paper towels or hand dryer. The door also opens outwards and has a handle that you don’t have to wrap your hand around in order to exit. So many places have gross bathrooms that force you to over interact with everything, especially the door, so big thumbs up to The Monster Crab for putting in the extra effort here!

Overall a good experience and the all u can eat option is the way to go. Enjoyed the baby clams, scallops and crab legs. Slightly overcooked but all was yummy. Ordered extra garlic butter legs but too much garlic and they were even more over cooked, to the point of not being able to crack open and pull any meat, had to cut it all open. Overall all worth it and $1 Stella Artois made my day!

Went at Friday lunch for the ayce ($29.90 per person). Note that they open at 1 and then ayce lunch is only until 3:30 so not a lot of time. I like how the fountain drinks were included. We ordered our seafood boil and was then told that they didnt have blue crab. I dont understand how they didnt have any WHEN THEY JUST OPENED. Crazy thing is, I called the day before and asked if it was available and it was. I dont know if its because they're saving their stock for dinner or for valentines day but that was disappointing. The fried soft shell crab is very good. The seafood boil flavors were ok; nothing outstanding. I like house blend the best. The clams were good but the crayfish was ok. Service was excellent: bibs, gloves and wet towels were available and they disposed our garbage when it piled up. It is very dark inside which is not my vibe. The mozzarella sticks took forever to come out but were good. The cocktail shrimp was really good highly recommend.

Went with my daughter, atmosphere is outstanding. I opt for the ayce for my daughter and I. Waitress very attentive. Ordered the snow crab legs with corn and sausage. My plate arrived, legs with garlic butter was really good. Corn and sausage included in my plate were cold. Legs were room temp. I ordered same dish 3 more times and was the same. Lasted 2 dishes actually were hot. Waitress told me that there was a time limit for the ayce and was a bummer because the wait time for the dishes took about 10-15mins to get. Very disappointing and truly is not an ayce. The shrimp cocktail was bland beyond words. My daughters snow crab plate was decent and she enjoyed it. The hamburger wasn't to her liking. I would definitely ask in the future if there's time limits for the ayce for certainty. Otherwise, I would look for a better seafood place that offers ayce with no time limits.

First of all you don’t received everything you marked on the menu/paper. You ask for 6 items they bring you 4. They waiter got us rushing to leave once we ate. Other than that the food was okay.
