Crafty Crab - Lauderhill Mall in Florida

"Food top notch , very pricey, drink specials, waiter forget about me. Loved the gumbo"

"My waitress was Stephany, she was awesome, always passing by to check in and ask if everything is okay. I enjoyed the experience love it"

"The new Crafty Crab location in Lauderhill, right in the Lauderhill Mall parking lot, is a hidden gem that deserves more attention. This spot is exceptionally clean and well-kept, and I was immediately greeted upon entering. I had ordered ahead online for a quick grab-and-go, but the welcoming ambiance changed my mind—I asked if I could dine in and was happily accommodated. Myself and son ordered a crab boil, which came with crabs, corn, shrimp, potatoes, sausages, and hush puppies. The portions were generous, and we ended up taking some home because we were so stuffed. The comfortable, inviting setup makes it a great spot for a party or a small family gathering, and the central full bar adds a nice touch for adults looking to enjoy a drink with their meal. There are numerous TVs hung around the restaurant, making it easy to catch some entertainment while you eat. This location has so much potential. With a bit more advertising, I think it could really take off because it’s such a comfortable and welcoming place. I loved the food, the staff, and the overall experience. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area!"

"I’ve been going to Crafty Crab every year for my birthday, usually to the location near Inverrary. This year, I decided to try the one near Lauderhill Mall. The fries were amazing, but the tilapia lacked salt, and the fried shrimp had too much flour. If I return to this location, it might be for the fries or to try a new item on the menu, but I’ll make sure to ask them to season the food properly or at least add salt. On a positive note, the location is very clean, and I love the decoration. One thing to note: they automatically apply a tip before you even get a chance to add your own. So, be sure to double-check your receipt. If you want to leave a tip, they’ll select a percentage for you, and you might end up tipping again without realizing it. I personally still tip the server again, but not everyone may want to. Just something to be aware of."

"autistic friendly!! My son is usually such a picky eater but absolutely LOVED the seafood boil here!! 10/10 recommend!!"

"There was a lot of young teens there and it was really loud. The waitress seemed like she was slightly irritated with serving, but the food was out timely, had a little confusion with some orders, but things eventually smoothed over. Overall, I had a great time dinning with friends and the food was good. I had half of dozen steamed oysters and half dozen steamed scallops and a gumbo !"

"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."
