"I ordered the managers special shrimp, crab, corn, eggs, potatoes all was cold did not get corn no flavor to non of it didn’t finish it! Also ordered catfish and shrimp meal with okra also cold. If it had not been so late I would’ve driven to return"

"A friend and I came here for dinner. I ordered the $25.99 all-you-can-eat sushi, which is exactly how it’s advertised on the menu. My friend ordered wings and okra. Before my food even came out, a man who I assume is the owner or manager came to our table and asked if we were ordering sushi for two people. We explained that only I would be eating sushi. He then informed us that although the menu says “all you can eat,” I would be charged $8+ per roll for any sushi I did not finish. He also stated that I could not share any of my food, or I would be charged double the $25.99 price. I explained that I would eat what I could and not order more than I could finish, but he insisted this policy was to prevent waste and that any uneaten rolls would be charged at regular menu price. This entire conversation happened before my food arrived and immediately made the experience uncomfortable. I eat sushi regularly and fully expected to finish my meal. However, when we asked for the check and a to-go box, I did have part of one roll left. The same man came back, checked my plate, and asked if it was okay to charge me an additional $8 for one roll. I reluctantly agreed. The food itself was good, but the dining experience was not. It is common knowledge that all-you-can-eat restaurants factor waste into their pricing. Advertising “all you can eat” while policing plates, hovering over customers, and charging extra for unfinished food feels misleading and borders on false advertising. Transparency matters. If there are strict rules and penalties, they should be clearly stated upfront on the menu—not enforced through uncomfortable table-side confrontations."

"We frequent two other Crab Barracks locations in the area and this is our first time at this one. It was clean and accommodating though we were the only ones in the restaurant. The food was fantastic! We had the boiled seafood bag with shrimp and lobster tail and corn and sausage and potatoes! We like the “medium” house mix but all the spice options are good. If you don’t like spicy, just choose the mild option. Friendly service, though the server seemed that they had to wear many hats including server, bartender, hostess, etc. We really enjoyed this place, though!!"

"I wanted crab legs for my birthday, and the Crab Barrack did not disappoint! our table started with drinks and the fried calamari, which was delicious. Lightly fried, not greasy, and the meat was tender, not chewy. I ordered a 1/2 pound of crab legs, a lobster tail, and added a boiled egg; all in the garlic butter sauce. It was boiled to perfection! I was able to crack the legs with my hands and pull out solid pieces of meat. The meat was tender and not at all dry. It was the same for the lobster tail. The others at the table ordered fried okra, shrimp, and fish. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back!!"

"Service was about average, and the atmosphere was okay. Not many people was dining in. I know it's a seafood place but the air was a little smelly. Lots of sitting areas and very spacious. Most importantly overall, the food made me sick."
