Crafty Crab

Been here 10+ times. Usually get it to go. The food has always been flavorful. I get the snow crab and lobster tail. My wife gets the snow crab and shrimp. We LOVE spicy food so we always get "The Boom, Fire" and the mix is always good. I usually add a 1/2lb of sausage to my bag, which is really good as well. The red potatoes and corn go great with It. I also highly recommend getting the Hush Puppies as well. Great Food and Great Customer Service. The interior could be better and more welcoming. Also recommend the owner put in a long sink with multiple faucets for washing hands.

They definitely deliver on quality food. It wasn't a long wait because me and my friends came in right before the rush. Our waitress was great. She frequently visited our table but not overbearingly. The food speaks for itself. You won't be disappointed with this location.

We love this restaurant! Food is always fresh and delicious! Dali is usually our waitress, and she is wonderful. She remembers our order and preferences from previous visits. Nothing like cracking some yummy snow crab legs for dinner. :)

WOW! WOW! WOW! This food was amazing 👏 Amy -Lynn our server was super attentive and answered all our questions! We had a few as this was our first time ! 🤣 We are on hols from the UK! We will be back before we go home ! We had a large platter ...more than enough for 2 people! The seasonings... just needs a loaf of bread to mop up those juices 😍😍

Second time enjoying this restaurant. We started with steamed oysters with the boom seasoning medium heat and they were delicious. We do love the purity of the plain raw oysters as well. We then had the lobster, crab, shrimp, corn, potato and egg boil also with the boom seasoning and medium heat.

Prepare to get very very messy because this is a dig in with your hands kind of meal experience. We saw one dinner bring from her purse actual rubber gloves to eat and thought that was a pro move for sure 😃. The food is fresh, well seasoned and we recommend it if you are in the area.

Their Cajun boil (medium) was off the chain! So good! Daughter ate the chicken tenders without complaint. Seafood boils were amazing. Food was so good I forgot to take pictures. We'll be back for sure!
Update: Went back two days later it was so good!
A year later and still delicious!

Very friendly people. It's a relaxed dining experience with graffiti all over the walls. ( My kid loves that part)
Also, if you're lucky, you might find a pearl in your oyster.
It's definitely a good place to go enjoy causal dining with the whole family.
Full liquor and beer selection.

Crafty crabs 🦀 never fails me, we love this place we come here once every 2months, that boom sauce is always the best option. Waitress and Waters are always great. Haven’t had a bad experience yet. Recommend it to any seafood lover.

Food is great.i always go in with my son to eat and enjoy ,seasoned spicy for me.

I went in with a few friends. We order a little bit of everything. The boil was to die for. I had the 12 oysters boom medium and the Bahamas mama.it was amazing!!!The service was great. I definitely recommend this place.

This place is AWESOME! My daughter & I went there while we were vacationing in FL and had the Crab Boil with "the BOOM". It's one of those meals that you remember years later because it was so good. We even went back for the same thing the following night! The atmosphere is light & relaxing, the prices are reasonable, and there's a lot of different dishes to choose from. The service was outstanding too. Nate was our server and did a fabulous job. We requested him on our second night there too. The food is just as good as it looks in the pictures.
If you're ever in Melbourne, and you want the best seafood experience you've ever had, you gotta go to Crafty Crab. You will NOT be disappointed!

The restaurant looked a mess so my 1st impression wasn't the best. They allow customers to write on their benches, walls and tables with sharpies. I was scared to sit down in my light dress. The Customer service was superb though. My food came out fast. Well spiced but it was in a bag lol. It was to die for except the corn. Which was way over done. Fresh corn can be cooked in a few minutes so there is no need to have sticky soggy corn. Also I feel like I had 2 portions, there was so much food. I ate some then had the rest late at night. Nice! Would I go again. OH Yes. Most definitely. I just wish they would reconsider their decor, fresher corn and using foil instead of plastic bags which looks so tacky.. but now that I think about it. No mess either. hmmm

A bit pricey but hey it's seafood. And it's definitely worth it! I got the spicy boil and it got me so full that I had leftovers!

Shout out to Maryanna who waited on us. Ok now to the juicy part. Me and my SO both had appetizers. Me the 1/2 dozen raw oysters and this bad boys were fat and meaty. On a cracker with horseradish black pepper and Tobacco. My SO had cheese sticks. Both had snow crab legs. One with house spice mild, the other Arlie butter mild. Pictures tell the story.

As a business owner of Indian River Antique Mall in Melbourne Village FL, I need a place that has a nice rewarding atmosphere and great food. Crafty Crab provides me all that and more...

This no frills restaurant is comfortable. I arrived for dinner with a party of 7. We were seated right away. The decor is graffiti everywhere. Some of it is crude. The tables are lined with paper, a bucket on top to discard shells. and a big role of paper towels necessary for eating a Boil!

Our server was nice and attentive. We received our food in a reasonable time plus it was fresh, hot, and VERY good.

The Boils are served in a large plastic bag with plastic bib and gloves... you need them to really enjoy a pound of perfectly seasoned seafood! The all-in-one seasoning is the best. If you need to take food home, they give you a paper bag lined with a plastic bag to minimize leaking from Boils.

The fried shrimp and fried catfish were delicious too. Crispy outside, tender inside. However, there were not enough fries for my husband. My only complaint is the basket should come with 2 sides for the price.

I enjoyed eating here and will absolutely return when I'm back in the area.

Good was really good. Garlic butter seasoning was best. Boom seasoning extremely salty and don't recommend that seasoning at all. And bring your wallet. It's not cheap by any means but really good food. I recommend this place is your in the mood for seafood

Just happened to see this place on the net today and immediately I wanted to go check it out. Oh boy!!. The best boil seafood in Brevard. Maybe the only one? Place looks nautical, clean and modern
Staff and services were excellent. Cheap too. Go for the small mixed platter. Filling and yummy. I can't wait to go back.

Went back couple months later. Still the same delicious food.

Really good when you dip the crab, shrimp or crayfish in the butter flavor that is at the bottom of your seafood boil. I love all the other options they have and fried seafood options. 😋 I'd say I have two favorite seafood places here now.

Great experience and great food. We were celebrating before seeing the Taylor Swift Eras Movie at the IMAX. Everything tasted amazing and we loved it. My wife wished they didn't play non-stop country and more mainstream party or pop like music. Basically, anything but country. She said it didn't seem fitting for a restaurant like this.
