We visited from Michigan and really enjoyed the seafood experience. I do not eat seafood, but my husband loved it. The servers were amazing and took the time to explain the dishes and make recommendations. Highly recommend if you are a seafood freak. Food was delicious and portions were generous. No worries if you are not into seafood....their hamburgers are also excellent!
I went to dine with the family and Danny the waiter gave us a great time. atmosphere was great, prices very manageable. The parking lot very easy to handle. I have great time with my dinner, advisable, great taste and a good recommendations from Danny. I will comeback soon!
Ashley the host was great, super sweet, great attitude, friendly matter fact my phone was dead when I walked in and by the time she sat us down it was fully charged, crazy, I know.. must've been her energetic, positive Aura.. Should've been a server to serve yall up some more 5 star reviews... I'll be back 🤤
We had a fantastic experience thanks to our server, Dianey! She was attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcome from start to finish. She checked in at all the right times, had great recommendations, and kept everything running smoothly. Service like this truly makes a meal memorable—thank you, Dianey!
From the moment we sat down, our server Dianey provided outstanding service. She was knowledgeable about the menu, made thoughtful recommendations, and was incredibly attentive throughout our meal. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly timed. This is the kind of service that keeps you coming back.
If you're looking for the ultimate seafood fix, this is the spot! The seafood boil was incredible—perfectly seasoned, fresh, and arrived steaming hot. But what really made the night was our server, Dianey. She provided absolutely excellent service from start to finish. Dianey was super attentive, made great recommendations on the spice levels, and made sure our drinks stayed full the entire time. If you go, definitely ask for Dianey—she’s the best!
Pete was an amazing server at Surfing Crab! From the moment we sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. He explained the menu well, checked on us at the perfect times, and kept the vibe fun and welcoming. Our food came out great, and Pete definitely made the experience even better. Ask for Pete if you go—top-notch service!
We ate at Surfing Crab last night for the first time and we had a great experience. The food was top-tier, and my server, Raquel, really stood out. She was extremely nice, welcoming, and even taught us how to properly crack open our crab legs. She checked on us at the right times and made sure we had everything I needed. I’d definitely come back again!
Came in for my wifes birthday. Everything was great. Pete our server was excellent. He was very efficient. I was suprised how fast the food came out.Ty for the great dining experience. Highly recommended.
Love the food in this place, I’ve tried that other place by the highway, but nope, not even close. This place is clean and we don’t have to share our pics with other guests at our table. And to top it off, Sam the best bartender we’ve ever met. She’s attentive and has an awesome personality, sat at the bar and had an awesome time. Gooooo Sam
Today I went by with some friends and I really enjoyed it. Bartender Sam did such an excellent job! I asked for some drinks and she was very attentive and always with such pretty smile. I would recommend this place 100%. If any of you guys go ask for Sam bartender excellent service.
This place does not disappoint! Love to get the 2lbs. Headless shrimp and shrimp fried rice. And wait staff always offers the cheaper option which I get my shrimp boil with sausage, corn on cob and red potatoes! Place is always clean.
My wife and I decided this was the place for lunch today. Great dining experience, as usual. We enjoyed our company since I had been away for awhile. Was a bit surprised with the bland taste of the fried shrimp this time tho. Not sure what happened to this batch. 🫣 Honesty is the best policy. Fried pickles were the 💣 My decision on the fried rice was the correct one to make 👏 (even with out the Yum-Yum sauce in it) It's not really the time for Crawfish (for ME anyway, cuz I love 'em) and I'm craving them. They weren't too busy and our wait time was a bit longer than usual. Other than that, great food. Come try it for yourself.
The food here was honestly so good. Everything tasted really fresh and super savory, and they have some great specials going on right now. The prices are really good too for the quality of food you get. The only downside was the service. Our server, Olga, didn’t really check up on us much. When she finally came by we asked for a refill, but she forgot and we had to wait a few more minutes until we saw her again to ask a second time. Other than that, the food was delicious and I’d definitely come back again
I love this franchise and we decided to try this location since we were in the area. It was pretty busy considering we came on a Sunday afternoon but we were still seated immediately. Service was outstanding! Our server made sure we had everything we needed and kept checking up on us, without being too overwhelming. The food was delicious, but my boil was a little bit salty but it was still tasty and nothing my side of steamed rice couldn’t neutralize. I added on two eggs to it as well and they were slightly overcooked, but like I said, my plate was still delicious nonetheless. My boyfriend got the fried fish basket and his fries were a little too heavily seasoned according to him. But the fish, no matter which location we’ve been to, has always been perfectly crispy, battered perfectly and finger licking. Overall will be back if in the area. Those small quirks are not enough to deter us from one of our favorite restaurants!
Horrible food. Tried this place for the first time, ordered the (8!) fried shrimp with fries. The shrimp had no flavor and were fried with a kinda gross batter. They were tossed on top of the fries which ruined any crispness the fries might have had in an alternate universe. Just a horrible meal. The bathroom smelled awful but looked clean. The booth was cozy and the waitress was sweet and efficient. But the food was unacceptable so I won't be back.
The food came out in about 3 minutes,which was quick but the food wasn’t even warm. I ordered extra boiled eggs and the extra ones came really cold as if they used an old order that was sitting for a while.I could tell they just added the eggs on top of the old order and brought it to us …they didn’t even bring it in a bag so they could pour like they usually do , they brought everything already served in a tray.I don’t like to complain but that experience just wasn’t it,and the service wasn’t the best either …they only refilled beverages once towards the end which we had already lost our appetite by then.
First time ordering from this restaurant. I ordered the Jumbo Fried Shrimp basket and an order of spring rolls. The shrimp was over cooked and chewy. Batter was not crispy it was burnt in some areas. It always felt like I was eating fried chicken. The price was reasonable and the customer service at the to go counter was excellent. I was very disappointed that out of 8 shrimp I could only eat two even over cooked and had to pick at the rest and toss them. I don’t know if I would go back. The spring rolls were just ok.
Really enjoyed going to this place but yesterday will be the last time. Sever took a while to take our drink and food order which is ok. That was not the big issue. I ordered a boil and the order took a long time to come out. I had to ask the server to check on it, not sure how long my order was sitting for but when the server brought my food it had a big fly. So yeah won't be going there anymore.
Theres was absolutely nothing wrong with the food. But the service was less than acceptable. We waited a long time before our drinks were ordered... all the waiters were just in a corner talking... i had to get up and refill my glass myself... after taking our food order, the waiter revisted us just once... definitely NOT coming here again.
