The Juicy Crab

My fault, I didn't realize it was Cajun cuisine and everything was too spicy for my group. Service was fair even though we drew a trainee.

Great place, Jessica was our waitress two days ago and Shy was our waitress today. Both ladies were awesome!! The management was great and handled our situation well. Shelby was our waitress today, her customer service was TERRIBLE and very disrespectful?? she throws utensils and straws on the table. Today was a bad experience I ever had when eating out with my family. She needs to always remember to change her attitude when working. She could've gotten a good tip.

We went there as a family during our trip down to the beach, a quick pitstop in Winterville, North Carolina.

For starters, this was our first time here. We went there around 1 PM on a Saturday, which was not very busy as it just opened. First, our hostess was doing her duty by making us go into a single-file line and for checking our temperatures via temperature check device for wrist; quick and simple procedure that was under 3 minutes tops. She was very kind too and brought us to an ideal table for the 6 of us. The table was social distanced from other tables, allowing us to be a comfortable environment where we can take off our masks and eat peacefully with the additional white table mat so the table doesn’t get messy from the seafood.

Our waitress was super kind as well, getting us our appetizers, Calamari and Mozzarella Sticks, and our drinks ASAP. Drinks were very good. My only complaint would be that the calamari was a bit “too chewy” as it might have been overcooked. Not saying it was terrible but may just need to cook it to an ideal period where the calamari isn’t as chewy.

I ordered a “Hungry Feast”, which contained many things like snow crab legs, corn, eggs, sausage, and shrimp. The order came in at an appropriate time which was around I would guess 10-15 minutes-ish. The table had our bibs for the messiness so it wouldn’t ruin our clothes, along with gloves so our hands wouldn’t be dirty. My first impression of the meal was that it’s a very interesting and exciting experience. You have to rub the bag that contains the food around so it can get all that seasoning and juices, and then plop it on the metal bowl so it can hold the food.

I really liked how delicious and tasty everything was. The crab legs might have been overcooked but it still had that juicy tasty meat inside it once cracked. The eggs were cooked well and were easy to eat. The sausage was a bit too salty from the juices and seasoning but I would suggest for a way to In cooperate it so it wouldn’t be like that as much. Lastly, the shrimp was very tasty and have no complaints from that. Our waitress did a very good job asking us if we needed anything on a regular basis and provided us with a very absolute good experience other than messing up my relative’s meal with a slight error of giving him clams when he didn’t ask for it (no biggie).

Afterwards, cleanup was very easy and no hassle. Juicy Crab provided us with alcoholic wipes so our cleans could be cleaner after using gloves. Somehow, I have gotten real full from that, so I wanted to box it for tomorrow. The staff were very kind to assist with that and helped me put the food in a bag and secured it very well.

A day later, I ate my meal and I would like to say that the meal was still tasty like it was when I first received it; absolutely awesome.

In conclusion, Juicy Crab did not disappoint my family and myself. We had an amazing experience and was welcomed with very nice staff and very amazing seafood. I would recommend this as I went there for my first time. You need to try this restaurant out for anyone nearby and stopping over. This place is very good, especially during times like these where you can’t have sit-down restaurants anymore without modifying many things. Even with modifications, the restaurant gave us a welcoming feel. I wish we can come back here but we sadly do not have Juicy Crab near my residence of Northern Virginia. Winterville is a very good place for this joint to be opened up.

I would like to shoutout the general manager for being so amazing and so polite and had a very family-like manner going on. She’s absolutely amazing and informed us on what to get and showed us how we should eat it properly.

Till next time Juicy Crab, thank you for great service.

My family tried the seafood feast. It was our first time. It was delicious and tasty. I ordered Fried Calamari, it was good, but it was overcooked since it’s a little chewy. Overall, I still recommend the food and the customer service was really great!

This was my second visit and they did not disappoint! Food was fresh, hot and very flavorful. The juicy wings are a must for your appetizer. The desserts are melt in your mouth good. The service was awesome and friendly.
