Wanted something different so we came here . Our server was Jake! Super friendly , took the time to explain some things on the menu . He was very kind and actually listened . We had a nice booth , every employee that walked by our table made a point to say Hi. That was also very welcoming! Not only was Jake our server , he was also the bartender. The food was great as always , the inside was clean, even the bathrooms were clean!! I will ask for Jake next time I am here

Just left the Crabby Crab and we could not be happier. The food, the service and the laid back atmosphere. We really appreciated the well seasoned food and syring drinks. What really impressed us was the prices = very affordable. I can't wait to get back to work on Monday and tell everyone about this place. And tge desert was amazing .

Love having this seafood boil spot on this side of the valley! Their sauces for the seafood boil are full of flavor. I get the shrimp, which has always been plump and delicious. I think it's neat they also put it in a bowl instead of a bag and offer a mini metal bucket to discard the seafood shells. My dad gets fish and chips or the catfish basket and enjoys it, so if seafood boil isn't your thing, these are great options too. In the few times I've been here, we have been seated quickly, which is a nice bonus. One night we had Jay as our server, who was super attentive, patient, and friendly!! They've got great happy hour options for both food and drinks, which I definitely need to explore next time. As for parking, there's a small lot behind the restaurant if you take the alley, or street parking, which doesn't seem to be too bad on Van Nuys. If you like Kickin Kasian and Boiling Crab and want to skip the wait, Crabby Crab is a wonderful alternative!

We reserved here for my son's birthday since he's a big fan of Boiling Crab and we were trying to find a place that could accommodate a large party and not wait too long. This place was perfect! In fact I would argue that the flavors were richer than Boiling Crab. We got the big Medley combo, another platter and a few sides and it was all yummy. We were all full. The service was great! They stored the ice cream cake we brought with us and took it out to thaw while we ate so it wasn't a rock after dinner. We were served quickly and had everything we needed including napkins, tools, bibs and gloves. And then they cleaned our table and brought out everything we needed for the cake. At first I questioned our decision because when we arrived most tables were empty but I think our timing was just early because they quickly filled up while we dined. There were plenty of tvs around playing football to entertain you. Tables were generous booths to seat many at once. Also extra points in my book for the handwashing station separate from the restroom. Free parking at the back of the restaurant.

The restaurant is a good size. With enough space for our large party. My family from Mexico was visiting and it was a huge hit with them all. We had the Seafood Medley, the Sampler and a few French baguettes. It was delicious! The king crab legs are definitely my favorite. The baguettes are always nice and warm. Service was good. We always had our drinks filled and extra napkins. Love the fact that they have a sink to wash your hands right in the dining area. The prices are what you would expect of any seafood place.

I had lunch here with my wife on Saturday. It's probably our 3rd or 4th time here. The decor is okay, nothing to write home about. The service was good. I love the food here. I think the seasoning they use is as good or better than any other Cajun style seafood place. The only minus is that it's expensive, even compared to their competitors. We ordered the smallest combination (1 snow crab cluster, 1/2 lb shrimp, corn and potatoes) and ended up adding a 1lb of clams and 1.5 lbs of additional shrimp. (flavor 5/5, cost 2/5) We also ordered the sweet potato fries. Again, it tasted good but the portion size is pretty small given it costs $9. Overall, with a pitcher of beer and tip, the lunch cost ~$170.

The Crabby Crab has been my local go-to Cajun seafood joint for years and it's just as delicious whether dine-in or takeout. If dining-in, parking isn't too bad as there's a small parking lot behind the restaurant or plenty of meters along Van Nuys Blvd. The customer service is stellar, the staff all get along and treat you like a regular. They check on you periodically and make sure you have the necessities to enjoy your seafood. Personally I love doing takeout because they also provide you with bibs and enough table paper to allow you to recreate the restaurant experience in your own home. Oh, make sure to get a side of OMFG sauce, you will likely say--
