This is one of the best ayce seafood places I have been to in the DMV area. To serve unlimited raw oysters was already a good sign. It didn't taste dirty or sandy. The crab legs were decent, a little old or overcooked since it was hard to get the meat out. Everything else was nice and fresh. I will say that the medium spice sauce tasted like it was mild, and the hot spice was real spicy. I appreciate how the ayce includes soft drinks. The server was nice and attentive, being able to offer extra sauces and refilling our drinks quickly. It's worth the $60 price with the food you get and the customer service.

TIP: Ask for the crazy crab mixin special sauce on the side. You can dip your seafood into this sauce! Without the tip above, the food is only a 3.5/5 for me, but the sauce on the side to dip it in really elevates the seafood. All the seafood here is pretty decent, but I recommend the shrimp, snow crabs, and green mussels. Also get the oysters if you're into oysters! The raw oysters are pretty good here for AYCE The total was a bit pricy for AYCE for two people so come ready to eat a lot if you're doing AYCE. Our total was around $130 for two people (before tip).

I visited Crazy Crab when they first opened their doors years ago so I must say the second time around was a way better experience. Highly recommend just getting the "All you can eat" and simply enjoy yourself! Thank me later :)

All you can eat crab legs?! Amazing! I ordered: - crab legs - scallops - blue crab - oysters They do have raw oysters in the appetizer that you could definitely order! Its very plump. No sand in the oysters. They also have vinegar you can request. The downside is that it was probably one of the worst oysters I've tasted. The batch I had was very fishy and I ended up having food poisoning (abdominal cramps and diarrhea) two hours later. My friend said she had oysters here last time and it was perfectly fine! So, it may have just been the batch I had! The crab legs. Utter heaven. I was actually surprised that I could order the crab legs to my taste. After the first batch of trying their sauces, I didn't need anymore corn, potatoes, or sausages. I just requested for steamed crab legs, and they were able to bring out that! The crab legs taste amazing with a salt pepper lemon sauce. You can ask for lemon wedges on the side and make your own sauce!

Crazy Crab is crazy as what you'd expect for Seafood. If you are a big fan of crustaceans and the idea of breaking open to eat your food, then this is a place for you. I went here with my family to celebrate Mother's day. It was a bit busy for the wait but of course it's also a holiday that everyone celebrates. Once we did seat after what seem like an eternity ( about 45-50 minutes ) we were able to sit down. The waiter greeted us and handed my mom a glass of champagne ( since it's mother's day ) and we wasted no time in looking into the menu. They had an AYCE option for 59.99 but we went with the combo instead. Since my family loves eating crab/shrimp/lobster, we got the Crazy Crab Extreme Combo. That's a lot of food for four people. It had 4 lobster tails, 1 Lb King Crab Legs, 2 Lb Snow Crab Legs, 2 lb Shrimp (headless ), 8 corn, 8 potatoes, 1/2 sausage and a choice of your starter. We got Medium spice but we honestly did not taste any kick to it to be honest. We got Hush Puppies as our starter too and it came in 10 pieces with a side of butter. When the food came out my parents were thrilled and shocked to see how much food was there. We went in and definitely enjoyed cracking open the crab legs and getting the meat to dip in butter, because why not. Personally I am not too keen on opening for my seafood but I also did get fried catfish and fries to eat too just in case if I wasn't feeling interested in eating crab/lobster/shrimp but I ended up eating a lot more than what I expected. If there's one thing that I like about Crazy Crab, there are sinks that you can just wash your hands if you don't need to use the bathroom. The small trash cans to put all of the pulled shells also go in here which makes it convenient for table space and just for easy clean up. If there's one thing to note about Crazy Crab, it's not really the restaurant itself but the parking lot. It sucks. Parking is small unfortunately since it's a small strip but luckily it's a short walk if you end up parking far. I'd come back here for more seafood to eat!
