Solid spot for crab and seafood. Had the grilled fish with rice and salad while my love had the full-on crab experience and really enjoyed it.

Bag O’ Crab has some of the best real Louisiana-style seafood boil around! The flavors are on point — whether you like it spicy or mild, or other choices they’ve got you covered. The seasoning is legit and really brings that Southern boil flavor. The atmosphere is great with a good vibe, music playing, and sports on the TVs. I liked how they had preseason football on — that was a nice touch and showed they’re in tune with their customers. The place is well-managed, and even when it gets busy, things run pretty smooth. My family really enjoyed our seafood boil — fresh, flavorful, and fun. Definitely a great spot for some authentic Southern-style seafood! We we’ll be back with friends and family.

If your into seafood get some here. Always amazing! I like the atomic and Louisiana flavors. Get the lobster tail in the garlic butter- it come with a corn and potato too! So yummy! I always have leftovers! Get the shrimp without the heads!

Louisiana seasoning was the right call. Loved the happy hour, beer and fries at a great price. Perfect spot to chill and enjoy some seafood!

We came to dinner this past Saturday for my birthday, and the food was delicious and very quick to come out. The music was on point! The only complaint i would have is our waitress wasn't very attentive, and she forgot quite a few times to bring our drinks and a knife and plates for our cake, maybe she was the only waitress idk, but other than that It was great! Will definitely be returning.

Good Cajun boil, excellent spices. Needed more potatoes, sausage and corn and the corn was overcooked. The crab wasn't really worth it. Wish they had fresh crawfish and they should throw in some nice sourdough to sop up some of that delicious broth. The ladies working on our visit were super sweet and attentive. The shrimp Po'boy and cajun fries were pretty solid.

I have been wanting to try this place out for a long time and finally did. The service was good the food was seasoned good and the medium spice was perfect! The restaurant itself was kind of strange and not to sound old the music was so loud at times you couldn't hear anything, but the playlist was awesome! The serving size was big I got the #2 and it filled both of us up with a little left over.
