One of the best seafood restaurants I've been to! The food was well seasoned! The service was quick. Not crowded at all. Wonderful customer service. I'll be back again!

This review is long overdue! I've been to Ben's Crab twice--once with my daughter and once with the bros--and both visits were a blast. The servers were super communicative and made my daughter's day by offering her all kinds of juices, which I appreciated. When I went with the bros, we all tried different seafood boils, and none of us had any complaints. I always go for the garlic butter--it's so good I want to drink the whole bag, despite knowing the health risks! Drinks were also on point. I definitely need to come back soon before the weather gets crazy. Highly recommend!

A friend suggested we go here and we were NOT disappointed. First of all, the price is EXCELLENT, ESPECIALLY for their drinks. The menu is full of fruity-flavored stuff, just the way I like it, but they are STRONG. And the waiter/bartender even came over to check with us to MAKE SURE THEY WERE STRONG ENOUGH, and even brought over some lemonade chasers for the ladies. Service was amazing and attentive, and this place blends a quality, classy decor (we expected a Joe's Crab Shack feel, but it was notches above that) with a party vibe. Another table was celebrating a birthday and they were having a grand time. The music was club-worthy, but not so loud that we couldn't enjoy our conversation. The food came out QUICK and we tried to order a buffet variety. I got the catfish and fries and this place absolutely nails the crispy outside, juicy inside factor with this fish. Somehow the moist, white, well-seasoned fishy inside managed to stay light and fluffy. I also got a side of garlic bread, cause it was there, and they top it nicely with cheese. My cousin got the shrimp basket and crab cakes and both were equally delicious. I got the chocolate cake to go and while I didn't eat it until a day later, I was impressed by the rich frosting and moist decadent flavor. Don't hesitate to come here! :D

Excellent swift service. I had the hush puppies, garlic noodles and catfish basket. Everything was top notch. The joint was jumping (at least on Friday) which made it a fun, lively dinner for me. I highly recommend Ben's Crab and I'll be visiting them again soon.

Really good service, amazing tasty. The shrimp and the crawfish are amazing. Is quiet area, good parking

Great food. , great service as always . Love all the staff here. They make drinks so strong. I love it.

Pleasantly surprised with this place. I usually don't like these kinds of restaurants but Ben's Crab was very good. I recommend ordering a bunch of dishes and sharing them. We had the fried calamari and liberty oysters to start. Both delicious. My favorite dish of the evening was the oysters. For the entrees we had the lobster mac, large shrimp creamy pasta, fried catfish, and a seafood boil with king crab and shrimp in a spicy garlic butter sauce. As sides we had the hush puppies and brussel sprouts which were both very good. I'd say the weakest dish was the catfish but it was by no means bad. The boil was delicious as was the pasta. The mac had a lot of lobster. Usually places skimp on lobster meat but they didn't. Service was decent. The staff is really friendly. They did forget one of our cocktails but brought it out very quickly when we asked again for it. Considering it's seafood, prices were decent as well.
