I was hungry the wife “could eat” and after some deciding we ended up choosing crafty crab as she has never been. We had an awesome server Zach who gave great suggestions and made amazing drinks! We started with some hush puppies and our 1st drinks (2 for 1 special). Had some great conversation, put on our bib and gloves and waited our feast. I ordered the crab boil with Cajun and garlic butter seasoning and the fire level of spicy. The wife had lobster and shrimp, with the boom ( all seasoning mixed together) our food really hit the spot. We both agreed that it was an excellent decision! I did wish It had a bit more sauce and it was easily remedied by asking the waiter and paying a small up charge. :) It was a lot of food and I do have some left overs! Some other notes. We came In around 5pm ish and it was not to busy, seated and attended to right away. With the main entrees coming out in a reasonable time. Great decorations and I enjoyed the music playing. Next time, we have the feeling for crab boil I know where to go!

My husband loves the fried oyster basket. I love how they cook the sweet potato fries. The fried oysters are good but I don't like the breading. This place scores a 4.5 star with me.
