Walking Crab

Walking Crab
4.0 / 5 (3365 reviews)

Description

An eclectic seafood spot earns both praise and complaints: when it hits, crab, fried catfish, shrimp and flavorful spices—especially garlic-butter preparations—delight patrons; when it misses, plates arrive overcooked, sparse, or missing items. Reviewers cite occasional rude or frazzled front-of-house behavior, inconsistent portion sizes, and rising prices, yet staff members have also been praised for excellent service. With a food-truck presence (notably at Gizmo Brewery in Raleigh) and robust takeout options, this casual, flavor-forward operation is best for adventurous seafood lovers who tolerate occasional variability.

The food is good. I only had an issue one time far as not satisfied with my order. I went to make an order online today and noticed tge prices went up. The specials are not truly specials. The mini pan use to be 20 but now they are 30. Its good if you want to eat out and want something different than the crab house.

I walked in and ordered a shrimp plate for take out! I got home and realized there was no sausage added to my order an no garlic and butter sauce. Instead, I got tons of potatoes, very little shrimp and old bay seasonings with very little butter. The food was dry and it had very little spices. Very disappointing! I paid $25 for my plate and it wasn't worth the trip or money! What happened to the quality and quantity of food that was served when this place opened? The food was horrible and I will not return again! Somebody doesn't know the menu and cook the food properly too!

If I could give it a zero I would . Below average food scallops weren't even edible. Fish was trash. I waited over an hour they said 20mins you're better off getting shrimp fried rice at the Chinese store.
