The Saucy Crab - Tinley Park

Awful experience. This place has fallen big time. Before changing the name to Saucy Crab this restaurant was called Juicy Crab and the food was good. The service was good as well. Unfortunately the restaurant has gone way down. Ordered the catfish basket and it was just terrible. Clearly not catfish. The fish was old and cheap. After notifying the waitress and staff of the bad fish, they only offered a “sorry you didn’t enjoy it” comment. I will never return to eat at this restaurant location again.

Usually I come here for lunch. I enjoy the atmosphere and music. Always seated right away. Service is a bit slow and not very attentive but everyone is nice. It does take awhile for alcohol beverages to be served. My glass of wine was served after my salad came out and our crab cakes were a little over done this time around. We waited awhile for the server to come back to ask for our salad dressing and crab leg cracker tool. Overall we do enjoy the food.

I never write reviews but this place is simply horrible. Our waitress was nice despite our complaints and that was the only good quality. The food sucks. Its expensive. The crispy chicken sandwich at wendys tastes better and looks better than the cajun chicken i got on my po boy sandwich. Fries were not cajun. Chicken was not cajun. GUMBO HAD NO SEAFOOD ITS JUST SAUSAGE AND HAS ODD FLAVOR. I would rather eat fast food than eat here.

I like the design and atmosphere in this place, friendly service, and reasonable prices. My fish sandwich was good, but the fish only comes breaded and deep fried, which is not my preference. The sweet potato fries were excellent. The food presentation was very good. It's just too much deep fried food for me, which caused me a heartburn later.... Probably next time I will try some of the boils. Overall it was a good experience!

I had some trepidation at first because upon arrival, there were no other patrons in the restaurant. I asked if I could walk around the establishment and the hostess politely honored my request. After liking what I saw, I asked to be seated. What happened thereafter became a magical time of eating and reminiscing. The menu is vast. The restaurant has a southern seafood ambiance and theme to it. My servers name is Jonny. Should you ever visit the locale, as for him. I ordered a shrimp basket w/catfish(separate), onion rings and a side shrimp fried rice. After having ordered, I noticed the old school R&B playing throughout the restaurant. I was immediately catapulted to my collegiate years. The tunes being played, caused a rush of truly fond, memorable moments and people. The food arrived and I wasn’t disappointed. The seafood was well flavored. I could taste the shrimp and catfish: none were so drenched in seasoning that you couldn’t taste the actual seafood. Both the shrimp and catfish were well breaded and beautifully fried. My order of onion rings was delicious. I was hoping they’d not be over fried. They were cooked to perfection. The shrimp fried rice, which I feared I might not like, was good. It didn’t look like your conventional shrimp friend rice. The shrimp were fresh, the entire sauce we well flavored. I’d buy it again. Didn’t order ant speciality drinks, though they do offer them. For me, I had a cold glass of iced sweet tea. The beverage was good: had four glasses. The restaurant was clean. IT’s restroom was clean: I always check restaurant to give me a sense of the cleanliness. Tables were comfortable. This isn’t a fancy dig so don’t expect that. It’s a quaint place to eat southern style seafood. Would I return? Yes. Now I’m ready to dive into its menus to see just how good the food truly is. By the way, there is a great deal of patio seating(which should be a bonus during the warmer months)and the Sports Bar is rather spacious. My only reason for not giving them a 5 star is that I wasn’t as comfortable trying more of the menu.
