Crafty Crab Brandon - Lakeland

Update: You really know something is good when you find yourself back the next day. I finally got to try the fried shrimp, and my husband ordered the catfish again. We weren't the only fans of the meal—our toddler loved the shrimp and onion rings too! We absolutely love it! Thanks, Crafty Crab, for another amazing dinner!

I can't believe I waited so long to try this restaurant. The cocktails are robust, and the seafood is fresh, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. Our server, CiCi, was incredibly helpful, attentive, and friendly. I'm already excited about my next visit!

Absolutely a 10/10! The food and staff were fantastic! I want to give a special mention to our waitress, Cici. She was exceptionally attentive, and her service was outstanding! Cici was very friendly and made sure to check on us regularly. If you're in the mood for a great seafood boil, this is definitely the place to go!

The staff was very nice, no complaints on service. We all got fried shrimp and catfish and it had to be the blandest breading we've ever had. Its like they put no salt or pepper or anything in it at all. The sauce was pretty good so at least you can dip it. Just wish it had some flavor.

Fantastic crab at a great price! I had a strong craving for crab, and this was our first visit to the Crafty Crab. I thoroughly enjoyed the gumbo (I opted for it with rice, but you can have it without) and started with some fried clams. The crab boil specials are definitely worth it; we ordered a whole lobster, six large shrimp, one pound of king crab, sausage, potatoes, and corn, seasoned with lemon pepper and garlic butter—all for the same price as just two pounds of crab. It was incredibly delicious! It was more than enough for both of us, and we will definitely be returning!
