Red Crab Addison Reviews
The best crab boil I ever had. All the crab meat slipped out of the shell and it was seasoned to perfection. Staff was very friendly
#4 fed 4 people (2 adults & 2 teenagers). Food was slamming. Drinks could've been stronger. They was more watered down but overall the food slapped😋😋
First time trying and delivery was awesome! The Crab, lobster, shrimp basket was HOT and fresh. The seasoning great! All items not overcooked. I will return.
“I had an amazing experience at Red Crab in Addison! The food was absolutely delicious, and the customer service was top-notch. Special shoutout to Sean for making the experience even better. Overall, it was a wonderful visit, and I highly recommend it!”
Amazing time @redcrabaddison! 🦀✨ The seafood boil was absolutely delicious—fresh crawfish and shrimp that were sooo good! The bold flavors just explode in your mouth 🤩 The chicken was crispy and very tasty, the edamame was yummy, and the cheesecake was the perfect sweet ending 🍰 The staff is super nice, especially the manager Sean—thank you for the great service! Definitely coming back 🤗 A great spot if you’re visiting Dallas, TX!
We had an amazing time visiting Red Crab. All the food selections we ordered were flavorful and delicious. The crawfish were fresh. The corn was premium and tasty. Paired with rice, sauce and meat the taste was amazing. The staff were all friendly and professional. They were very nice and customer focused. Thanks very much to the general manager Sean who was very accomodating and professional. We will definitely be back here!!!
This was my first visit to the Red Crab and it was a great place for crab boil. The food was seasoned well, the portions were alright and the service was great. We ordered bag #7 and added additional crab legs, sausage, and mussells. This was enough for 3-4 people. I would recommend giving them a try.
This is a chain restaurant. Went to the Garland location first and loved the crab boil. Happened to be driving and saw this Addison location so had to stop. Came for dinner once and then back another time for lunch. Both times no wait because there is a lot of seating inside and out. They do have a Happy Hour and Lunch Specials. Lunch Specials are very reasonable and good portions. Definitely now a new favorite lunch spot! Service is good, table covered and set up is always clean. Foodnwas out fast so if you come hungry you won't wait long. Not crowded at lunch so guess that helps. Food taste fresh. The fried shrimp were big, lightly breaded, seasoned, and not over cooked. The crab boil can be seasoned with different flavor options. You can also customize your crab boil but there are several great boil options to choose from. Everyone in our group loved the food, price and service. Definitely coming back! Love seafood? Give this place a try!
I’ve been there twice once for dinner and another time for lunch. During the time for dinner it was karaoke night, so it was great entertainment. During lunch, the specials were sweet. But both times the Fish and chips / catfish and French fries were delicious. I like their 3 types of tartar sauce they bring out with the food. Rest of the menu looks great, I figure I’ll try it on another business trip to the area.
I had the pleasure of dining here to celebrate my sister’s birthday 🎂, and our experience was nothing short of amazing. We were served by Heaven, whose service was truly excellent—attentive, friendly, and professional. The food was delicious and arrived expeditiously, making the entire evening even more enjoyable. Heaven our sever discreetly came out with a cake to surprise and help celebrate my sisters birthday . Thank you for a wonderful celebration!
This is the spot for seafood! I adore this place. The seafood is wonderful. The portions are huge. The service is excellent. It's always a good time. Great place for a date. Great place to take the family! They treat you right on your birthday. The drinks are strong! 💪Ne sure to try the hurricane. It is phenomenal. The bartender was amazing. I appreciated the honest referrals for dishes based on what I was looking for. The vibe is right at Red Crab. Please go here for juicy delicious seafood. Don't forget to ask for a side of melted butter. ❤️🤤☺️
The food was very very good. The atmosphere and the music was nice. The only minor issue I had was the lack of patience from our server. Because everything is market priced, there’s no prices on the menu for the seafood or the sacks. Our server lacked patience when constantly being asked for prices. I feel that she should have been more involved when it came to making menu choices. Example: If I build a bag and she see that sack #4 would be cheaper and give me more food, then she should have recommended sack #4, and that’s what I feel that Sylvia, the waitress, lacked on my 1st visit yesterday.
This was my fist time trying a place like this, I usually don’t like sea food, but this was fire. I loved the taste of it. Everything. The only thing I’ll say is that service is not the best, our waiters came to talk to us just one time. We had to come look for him almost for everything, for our drinks, he was never around so we had to look for who eve was around.
Their fried fish and shrimp is nicely seasoned and tasty. I had a sample of my daughter's seafood boil and it was good as well.
I’ve ordered from Red Crab several times now, and the food consistently hits the mark! The heat level is perfect, the portions are generous, and the customer service is always friendly and efficient. My go-to is the “Create Your Own” with Dungeness crab, extra corn, and a boiled egg. I’ve also enjoyed their snow crab in the past—always fresh and flavorful. One thing to note: when I’ve picked up my food, the seating area has consistently been warm, which makes dining in a little uncomfortable. I get that the kitchen’s busy, but the dine-in space could use better ventilation. That said, I still highly recommend Red Crab for seafood lovers looking for quality, flavor, and great service!
My wife and I were visiting our son in Addison and I found this place from reading reviews. We decided on an early Saturday dinner and glad we did. No wait at 4:30 but when we left at 6pm there was probably a 20 minute wait already. The smells when you walk in remind me of New Orleans. The music is just a bit loud but I think it attracts that crowd in the weekends. Our waitress was friendly but did seem rushed a bit. She was pretty good about checking on us though. We started with the calamari and I have to say it was really good! They seasoned everything batter well!! My wife and I each picked a solo bag for dinner. I got the 1/2 lb crab legs, 1/2 lb mussels and 1/2 lb shrimp. They give very healthy portions and it tasted great! My wife got the same thing except no mussels and a little more crab legs. Overall we were pretty impressed. Just note it can get loud on a weekend night.
The good: You get your money's worth from those snacks options. The bad: All of the seafood wasn't properly seasoned with everything, and the sause was very watered down. I'm not sure if they were short staffed, but once we got our food, the server seemed to disappear. The review: Overall, it was ok. I've been to better seasoned boil restaurants, so this would be on the lower end of the list.
This is a fun place to grab a solid seafood boil. I’ve been to Red Crab several times and I like it. I’ve tried a few seafood boil spots around town and Red Crab is one of the better places. The boils are full of flavor and filling! Now one thing that really surprised me were the Garlic Noodles. Oh man! These are addictive 🫣. I’ve ordered them each time that I’ve eaten at Red Crab. I’ve even taken some home and added sautéed bottom round to them and had a whole new delicious dish. As a garlic lover, I highly recommend that you try these. The bar is ok. Not a lot of variety but the seafood makes up for that .
Red crab is one of our favorite places to go. Last night we went and got our favorite boil like we always do. The service we received was horrible. I think the girl who waited on us was new, but she was very awkward. While we were finishing our meal, we noticed that the whole nozzle from the soda machine was in my boyfriend‘s cup. She kept trying to say that she had no idea how that happened and not to worry because the soda machine is cleaned every day, but she did not try to remedy the situation at all and kept making excuses. Normally Service here is on point, but that girl needs to go back to training.
Me and my friend travelled here for the second year in a row for our birthday last year we had a waitress name Chandler he was WONDERFUL. We went back again this year and the service was terrible. We had a young hispanic waitress and he didn’t not check on us. We asked for to go bags he said to another coworker “take this to them because they keep looking at me weird” and laugh. I’m so disappointed. We drove 2 1/2 hours and got treated poorly. The african american manager was no better and very distasteful. The food was great but the service was TERRIBLE. I won’t be back.
We ordered sack #2 with snow crab, shrimp, corn and potatoes, fully seasoned and medium spice level to share We also ordered Cajun fries, chicharron (pork rinds), and cheese sticks. The waiter, Effrain, forgot to bring our drinks, so we had to ask for them. He had already brought all of our appetizers and still didn't realize that he had never given us our drinks. I asked for unsweetened tea and he brought sweetened tea instead. I just drank it and didn't say anything, since he seemed to be having some difficulty already keeping things straight. I had asked for the house salad, but was told that the salad had gone bad. I really loved the corn on the cob, potatoes and shrimp. The fries were nicely seasoned. There was loud music playing which helped with the noise level in the room. It was very busy, being a Saturday night. I am not sure I would return due to the high prices of the seafood.
I arrived at about 9:15p and it closed at 10p. When I arrived the young Latina lady (with a ponytail pulled back and a middle part) at the cash register was taking orders and there was a young man (with curly hair) at the front. They whispered something to each other and it instantly made me feel like they were ready to go and didn’t want to be there. While I was still standing in line, the young man offered to seat me, but then walked away. I sat for about 15 mins, then the young lady from the cash register came over to me at 9:30p and said, “we’re about to close on 5 minutes I’m not even lying.” This was said to me without any greeting or introducing herself. I let her know that made me feel unwelcome and if there was a rush they should have told me when I entered, and that I had been waiting about 15 mins. She proceeded to argue with me about the kitchen stopping orders at 9:35p. This is the 2nd time I have tried this restaurant and both times the service has been horrible. The food was good, but not worth the disrespect.
I am a regular of (going on) about 3 years at this place. The food is a great option if you are in the mood for a quick seafood boil in north Texas. However, for my last 3 visits, the bartender Keia’s (unsure if that is the correct spelling of her name) has been exceptionally rude. To the point where she is cursing at customers, rolling her eyes, and making it apparent that she does not care to be at work. It’s such an uncomfortable experience for someone who is spending their funds and just wanting to get a good meal. I’ve given it the benefit of the doubt since I do really like this place. But after today, I will never return. The portions are also much smaller than before, while the prices have increased. If this business intends to succeed, they must explore either correcting her behavior or hiring a new bartender. Several others have had similar experiences and it truly does suck.
