Meet Crab: Reviews & Ratings
Our first time at Meet Crab, I wanted seafood boil for my birthday today so my brother and I went. It was delicious! Everything was cooked to perfection and the service and people were amazing! I'll definitely will be going back. I'll have to get AYCE next! Thanks for a great birthday Meet Crab and the cheesecake.
10/10 Not to long of a wait for the food. Great service. We ordered the all you can eat with Dungeness crab. I got the Cajun spice level medium. My friend Garlic butter. It was amazing.
Meet Crab in Albuquerque delivered a fantastic seafood feast! We started with fresh oysters—plump, briny, and the perfect way to kick things off. The main event was a steaming, flavorful seafood boil loaded with crawfish, crab, corn, and potatoes. The seasoning was spot on, with just the right amount of spice to keep things interesting without overpowering the natural sweetness of the seafood. Everything was cooked to perfection, and the portions were generous. The casual, lively atmosphere made it a great place to roll up your sleeves and dig in. Definitely a spot worth revisiting for seafood lovers!
Treated myself to an absolutely amazing lunch at Meet Crab and I cannot recommend it enough. I did the all you can eat option and maxed out on Snow and Dungeness crab. I also had the mussels and an egg. It's such a great deal at the price (currently 56.89). The crab was sweet and tender, perfectly cooked as were the mussels. They don't offer crab crackers but they give shears instead which are stricly better as well as plenty of napkins, gloves etc. It was all super delicious, but their house sauce was definitely the best. Service was impeccable - food arrived quickly and pacing was perfect. They had my next beer ready just as I finished my first. The whole atmosphere was great. I will definitely be back.
The food was so delicious, we ordered the seafood boil combo A with extra shrimp and it was perfect for 3 people. One of the best places in town to get seafood with the spice level being what you choose.
So glad we chose to celebrate our 2-year anniversary here! The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was incredibly friendly. I’d recommend this place a thousand times over. We went with the all-you-can-eat option snow crab, mussels, headless shrimp, sausage, and corn. It was the perfect combo! I chose the butter and mild heat mix, and it was chef’s kiss so flavorful and satisfying. They also give you lemon wedges, which are a must with the combo I mentioned—trust me, it ties everything together. Oh, and the Cajun wings? To die for! Seriously, don’t miss them.
Growing up on the Texas Gulf coast I have had my share of crayfish and seafood. The crayfish were cooked to perfection and the headless shrimp are delicious. We had the sweet potato fries that were extremely tasty along with an excellent coleslaw. We stumbled across this restaurant and are glad we did. We highly recommend and will be back!!
First time trying Meet Crab and it was delicious. We got there later in the evening, and it was very busy. We honestly anticipated a little bit of a wait time but we didn’t mind, the food smelled and looked amazing. It was definitely worth the wait. The servers were very friendly and I could tell they were hard working. Since we had a bit of a wait, our server offered us a free cheesecake. It really was not necessary, but we greatly appreciated the gesture. It was incredibly delicious. Our two year old was a big fan. I will be recommending Meet Crab to all my friends and family. Great first time experience here.
