Opinions de The Monster Crab Holtsville
We visited this place 3 days ago and had a fantastic time. We loved it! We really enjoyed dinner... it was very relaxing. We would definitely return. The service is excellent. I highly recommend it. My boyfriend and I were delighted. / una experiencia increíble el servio y la cena fue una locura. Auténtico e increíble…. Definitivamente regresaremos
It was the first time I ate there. They were recommended to us and we went there and had a wonderful time. Oh my God, the food was so tasteful and our waitress was always nearby to help us out and she was very courteous and had a smile. Smile on her face the whole time we were there. If you’re planning on going out to dinner and a movie at this place is perfect because it’s in the same parking lot as island 16. Go check them out they’re great.
Went here for a birthday and everything was great! Food came out hot and quick, although I would of preferred a little less salt but other than that it was great. I recommend it if you like seafood!
Laura was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down at this AYCE seafood spot, she made the whole experience top-tier. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and always made sure our table had everything we needed without us even having to ask. The seafood kept coming out fast, our drinks were always full, and she checked in at the perfect times without being intrusive. Her positive energy and great service honestly made the meal even better. If you’re lucky enough to get Laura as your server, you’re in for a great night. Highly recommend! 🦀🦞🐟
Love this place, my partner and I eat here very often, the staff is awesome. Excellent service every time. Staff is very friendly. Finna who is our server is the Best!! Always welcomes us with a great attitude, checks on us, and knows our order already. Other staff is great as well, delicious seafood, New Zealand mussels are a must try, lemon pepper fire sauce is the best.
My wife and I ordered the unlimited seafood. We were both surprised that the soft shell crabs were available in November and fried in a light, delicate batter. The fried oysters were also superb as were the snow crab legs. The lobster was only $10 additional and was larger than I expected. The garlic butter sauce nicely complimented all of the shellfish. Further, the service was delightful: the server was pleasant, helpful, and prompt.
I had an excellent experience here. The food exceeded expectations everything was fresh, well prepared, and full of flavor. The service was even better. My server Jessica was outstanding. She was friendly, professional, and clearly knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations were informed and genuinely helpful. The value for the quality of both the food and service is impressive. I could not be more satisfied and will definitely return.
So much food, we couldn't eat it All. Fresh, delicious lobster tails melt in your mouth goodness. Great selections. Pleasant staff, who really care, even when you can't make up your mind. Lol. It's an excellent value for your money. 5 Stars. My new favorite Spot and it's right by the movies. A Win Win.
Came here for the first time (08/17/25) and did the All You Can Eat for $60. Since my boyfriend and I wanted the same stuff, they brought it out in dish and it seemed rather plantiful. Enjoyed both our appitizer and main selection choices. We opted for the Original Cajun sauce, spicy and was not disappointed. Brought the rest home ($15/lb) to have with pasta or rice. Not only that, but they have a great deal for drinks @$1.00 (limit 3). Our server was very kind and accomodating. Will definitely visit again.
Love this place!!! I keep coming back, and showing it to new people (as an excuse to come back). For what you get the price is amazing, especially since the drinks (including alcohol) is discounted when you do the all you can eat! Great food, I love the seasoning. I've been craving it and so I pulled up again. Can't wait to be back!
We made reservations for 6:45 for a party of 5. Our table was ready when we got there. We were waited on by Owen Li, who was super helpful and gracious during our dining experience. This spot is relatively small, so if your party is larger than 5 people, I suggest you book a reservation to guarantee seating. The food was plentiful, fresh, and delicious. FYI, everyone in your party must order the all you can eat buffet if one person in your party wants it. The drinks were tasty too! I would definitely return to dine here again.
What a place! Most of these Cajun boil places use low quality seafood. This is not one of them! Service was good but sometimes slow but the quality and taste of the food is outstanding. The all you can eat is a bargain considering the amount of food one can get as well as the $1 cocktails.
Let me say the food is great, the service was good. The only thing is the automatic gratuity they put on your bill. We would've been better having the all you can eat, but they insisted on the regular menu.Now I know why. it's because you'll spend at least 300 on your bill that way on top of them imposing a gratuity and then have to add more tip so your bill comes out over 400 so be prepared when you come here to really spend
Service is immaculate, they were very accommodating and proactive. If you love seafood boil then this is fine, but if not then I’d probably go somewhere else. Around $70-80 for all you can eat, seasoning was mild, and none of it was that good. After, it was mild, it became very salty and unappetizing for the second round. The portions were smaller than expected, so make sure to check a lot of boxes on the seafood boil as well as things like appetizers. So for the first round put a good amount of food, because there is a bit of a wait most of the time.
When I went here, the waiter was outstanding. He was super funny and offered us to ask questions. The restaurant had a bunch of decor around it which made it pretty cool. Despite this, the let down was the food. Most of food was from Sysco. My po’boy tasted a bit off and the batter from the pickle chips tasted like it was a bit off too. Another friend at my table got the seafood boil which was better than the food the rest of us got. At the end, the waiter gave us ice cream which was nice of him. Awesome service and great atmosphere but the food could be improved.
I've been to their other location in Bayside which is great and decided to try this one which is closer. -Their under 3 feet children rule is ridiculous. They charging 2& 3 Yr olds $29.95. Children that age barely make it to eat 5 French fries tops. The manager was not so nice about it, terrible attitude, but decided to make an exception to us and the other family after we express how ridiculous that rule was. -Food has good taste, but amount per order or rounds was smaller compared to other locations. Although its a all you can eat, the portions were less per round. For example: 2 shrimps, 2 scallops etc etc. - The drinks are hit or miss. Some of them taste funny. OJ & Apple juice are super bitter. -Great music -Our server Jessica was the best part. She was very attentive with all of us including my little niece. Although it was super busy in there, She made sure to make us feel welcome and did an excellent job. Her energy & the other staff while singing happy birthday was awesome! They got to treat customers better and stop the attitude.
I came here expecting a good meal, but the experience was ruined before I even sat down. The two people at the front who handle seating were extremely rude and cold. Their attitude made me feel like I was bothering them just by walking in. It was uncomfortable and honestly disrespectful. The woman in particular acted as if she already had a problem with me — no greeting, no basic courtesy, just a nasty attitude. It made me feel unwelcome to the point where I was actually worried about the food being served. That’s not how a guest should feel when dining anywhere. I chose to stay quiet because I didn’t want to create a scene, but the tension and negative energy were overwhelming. The vibe was “we’re doing you a favor by letting you be here,” which is the opposite of hospitality. Management should really retrain the front greeting staff (Owners). First impressions matter — and this one was terrible.
