The Original Crab House

Great little hole in the wall place! They only have about 8 tables there, but we were seated immediately. The waiter was incredibly nice and attentive. We shared a meal of crab legs and fries. First the fries came out and they were delicious! Really good crispy fries. Then the 2lbs of Alaskan king crab came out. Oh my goodness. They were delicious! It was our first time having long crab (which is why we splurged) and it was worth the price. You can tell it was fresh and prepared well. The homemade key lime pie was also lovely. We will definitely be making this a regular stop when my mom comes to visit. Well worth it!

What a wonderful find in the South Miami/Pinecrest area! A trip here did not disappoint. Do yourself a favor and stop by sometime if you love seafood and good portions of it at a reasonable price. I had the cajun shrimp with a side salad and my friend had the same shrimp with a side of old bay fries. Not pictured was a crab dip that is a MUST DRY. It comes out hot and topped with just the right amount of cheese and toasted French (I think?) bread on the side for dipping. The service here was also impeccable - I forgot our server’s name but she was kind, quick, and always pleasantly checked on us without making us feel rushed.

Delicious food with amazing service!
The restaurant is a cozy hidden gem. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a welcoming smile from Natasha. Everything we ordered was delicious, from the Maryland crab dip, to the creamiest lobster bisque, to the most amazing king crab legs. We had such a pleasant time at The Original Crab House!

The place is not all that. It's a little hole in the wall but their sea food is phenomenal we highly recommend it. They season the food very well. It's well worth the price. We will definitely come back. Also, they only had one waitress and she was able to manage all the tables and she did a fantastic job.

Small restaurant in a strip mall but the atmosphere was cute. Waiter was so friendly. Food was delicious from clam chowder to king crab to homemade key lime pie. We're here on a quick vacation and this was a good way to get seafood.
