It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing food and service I enjoyed every single bite of the meal Staff are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations and for their prices it’s 100% worth it.

Love seafood so this place is the perfect joint. Lovely atmosphere not too loud and the music is a vibe. The service is just as good, very helpful and informative. Make sure to prebook as it can get quite busy. Me and my friend loved the sauces with the combination of the seafood, left feeling very full and satisfied. Be ready to get messy and stuck in as their in no cutlery! Love the theme of getting messy with your hands. The restaurant has a sink so you can always wash your hands whenever. Also this place is very clean.

Go on guys. U r doing a great job. I checked the reviews of Mr Patel and is a miracle if u can find a review of him with 3 stars or more. He's complaining even for the 5 stars hotels. If he's looking for something cheap he can go for fish and chips or for buffet.I'm shore he will be back to your restaurant again. Everything is great at the fat crab

The problem with serving it in the bag as they do is it continues to steam and this very quickly overcooks the seafood. Love the rustic hands on approach this is a proper seafood restaurant for people that don't want fine dining but want the quality, but there also some basics this place skips when it shouldn't.Decent, but if you're willing to go another couple of miles you can do better for your money.

It is definitely a must have experience for sea food lovers like myself. The whole presentation in a bag, to the eating process and chance to taste different types of crab 10/10. Even the stuff is really friendly and effective. Our waiter was spot on at choosing the sauce flavors as well for ours according to our taste bud preferences as well. I'm not giving it 5 stars only because of the price you pay in comparison to the portion you get. We got the king crab, 1lb clams, 3 lobsters, a snow crab and fries as a side each for us to fill full for me and my partner. A must go though 😊

Not worth the price at all. Very upset about the experience it’s like they boiled everything in salt water then added the seasoning to the bag. The potion was small would definitely never go to this place again the hype was for nothing

Visited on a dreary winter's afternoon in late December. Due to Omarion dancing around (Omicron variant C19) they were very short staffed and were serving a limited menu. Despite these challenges we had a very enjoyable dining experience. It's essentially like building your own seafood boil, you choose your main seafood, sauce, extra seafood (if desired) and add-ins such as potatoes/corn etc.🌽 🥔 🦀 🦐 🦑You can also have side dishes such as cajun fries, sweet potato fries etc. The seafood was fresh and tasty, cooked to perfection, the sauces were tasty and hot means hot, don't choose the hot sauce if you can't handle the spice! The cajun fries were a triumph- hot, crispy, flavourful and not too salty. Prices were pretty much what you'd expect for seafood prawns and mussels are on the cheaper side and lobster/king crab are more expensive. They have several branches and this is the smallest it's very cosy and I'd recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment. I'd like to visit one of their other locations as this branch was really far away from home. Overall I do recommend The Fat Crab, service was a little poor but given the circumstances it's understandable.

What a messy experience but I'm glad I got to try it out! Might be a bit of a boring response but I really enjoyed the bag of Prawns with the potatoes and sweet potatoes that absorbed the sauce so well. The shebang extra hot sauce had such a good kick - great for any of you spice lovers. Service was extremely helpful and friendly.

AhooooyyyyWell! Coming to this place for the second time and obtaining the lobster and in the shabang (medium) hotness, its very nice with a challenging sauce which can maybe come across hot but with mild coughing and it's burstful of flavours.Lemon pepper chips which were also nice, has a zesty taste and a soothing pepper bite as you go definitely not too hot at all any one can eat it however if you don't want to taste lemon on your fries then just go for the normal one, if you want hot, go for the kajun fries.The price has increased sadly so now everything is costing near to rental prices and the portions don't even increase a bitHowever if you haven't eaten from here yet I would recommend you do atleast once as this is my second 👌😎 go get your orders and let me know with your reviews ??!!!!!!
