The Mad Crab Best Seafood In St. Louis

So, first let me say the food was amazing! Two weird things: we had to order and pay at the counter like it was fast food and second, this place is all about crab boils,yet no picks, no bibs, no wet naps, no crackers for the legs. Still, we would go back because they were the best crab legs I've had in quite some time. We did just straight steam with nothing but butter(I'm a purist), but lots of boil seasonings were available. Note- it isn't cheap. But when you pay more you get better food!

Ask for Hugo to serve you. He is the best. The food is great. If you don't get full it's your own fault. Have a drink to go with your food. I would recommend this establishment to anyone looking for fresh seafood. Get it mild or hot. They also have lots of extras.

This is a delightful seafood boil restaurant! The service is fast and friendly, creating a lively atmosphere. The decor is fantastic as well. We ordered the combo with crab, clams, mussels, and shrimp. Although we requested lemon pepper seasoning, they accidentally brought us garlic instead, but we didn’t mind because it was absolutely delicious!

What a letdown. We started our evening at Red Lobster, but after an hour wait, I wish we had chosen differently. The main issues were with the food and the overall presentation. On the positive side, the staff was very friendly. However, using kitchen scissors as crab crackers felt quite tacky. Given the prices, they should really invest in proper crackers. Unfortunately, most of the food was overcooked, the sauces lacked flavor, and when my wine finally arrived, it was served in a plastic solo cup. Once again, quite tacky. They really need to get some proper wine glasses!

The food was absolutely delicious, with excellent seasonings. If you’re not a fan of spice, don’t worry—they offer options ranging from mild to extremely hot! The staff were very friendly, and I will definitely be returning for my seafood fix. I tried the lobster, clams, shrimp, and black mussels, and they were all fantastic!
