The Crab Cracker: Seafood, Cajun, and Creole Delights in Charlotte, NC

Best crab legs! Steaming in a plastic bag delivered immediately to the table. Shrimp basket delicious too. Mussels and shrimp boil perfection. Unpretentious with scrap bucket, claw crackers, and bibs put on the table! We loved it all! Scribbled our names on the well written on walls!

I'm obsessed with this place and my budget is not happy about it. It is a little pricey, considering I could buy the ingredients and make it for myself, but something about that crab cracker sauce gets me every time!

Loved it, wonderful seasoning--including the tasty flavor options for corn on the cob, comes in a bag of juice basically, so seasoned super well. Amazing seasoning on the fries too, and enjoyed the founder, reasonably priced and all. Guess some grilled options could be nice, don't think I saw any, and perhaps some po boys--but know nobody can do all the things, so those may just not be feasible. But great spot, love it's local, the only one, and family owned!

A great crab spot in North Charlotte. It's right by UNCC in a shopping center where you can kill a few birds with one stone if you need to run errands too. They are very well-priced and have plenty of variety on their menu.

This was a very, very great place to have seafood. The seafood was seasoned so well, not overbearing. Some places have too much garlic, but this was just the right ball. My server was very informative.

The food at Crab Cracker is great! The seafood was fast, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The service was decent, nothing extraordinary but efficient enough to get everything we needed. Prices were reasonable for the quality of the food. If you're looking for a solid seafood spot with good seasoning and fresh options, this is a great choice!

This place was IT! We've been to our fair share of boil places, and this one tops. * Cracker A special, no spice, garlic butter (x2) 1/2 lbs snow crab legs 1/2 lbs no-head shrimp 1 lobster tail Sausages Corn Potatoes * 1lb Dungeness crab boil, included potatoes and corn, added sausage, mild, garlic butter * side of rice * fried lobster tail appetizer * 2 beers * 1 Pepsi NO SPICE meant NO SPICE here, and you don't know how happy that made me!! Usually, even if the seasoning isn't spicy, the sausage is. My boil was perfectly NOT spicy. Extra stars for that! The garlic butter sauce was a little oily, thanks to butter and sausage, but it wasn't too heavy or overwhelming. It complimented the potatoes and rice very well!! I loved how all the flavors were soaked up by every piece of food in the bag. Excellent!! There was so much food in each boil!! I ended up giving my snow crab legs to Husband since crab is more his thing. And I still couldn't finish my whole boil. I really could have shared with someone. Seriously, there were about 10 shrimp, a whole kielbasa-style sausage, three red potatoes, and 1 lobster tail ..... Roll me out because I'm stuffed! Son said his only thing was the seasoning on the sausage had a really strong flavor but was still good. He tore up everything else tho! Husband said his whole bag was FANTASTIC! Oh! Fried lobster tail - literally a FRIED. LOBSTER. TAIL. The fry was one of the best I've had. It was suuuuuuper crunchy but was very light and fresh. Delicious! Our waitress, Chelsea, was awesome. She was super honest about her preferences when we asked her, and she made sure we were well taken care of. Total bill: $178, not including tip

The food was great! I got a pound of snow crab, shrimp, and a lobster tail. Came with corn, potatoes and sausage. I added two boiled eggs as well. The best thing was the quality of the snow crab. Didn't have to fight for meat! 5

Visited the crab place and was pleasantly surprised! The ambiance was nice, and the prices were fair for the quality of food served. The staff were exceptionally friendly, adding to the enjoyable dining experience. As for the food itself, it was absolutely delicious, and we left feeling satisfied and content. The mozarella sticks were spot on with the drink. Definitely recommend checking out this spot for a tasty meal and friendly service.

My friend and I tried this place on a random Tuesday night and I'm so glad that we did. The place was quiet and empty- only one other person was there aside from a couple of to go orders. The service was amazing, our waitress was so nice, pointed us in the right direction with the menu. I got the Special: 1/2 shrimp, 1/2 snow crab 1 lobster tail with an extra 1/2 snow crab. The seafood was fresh, clean and flavorful. I wish I would have waited to get my food before ordering another 1/2 of snow crab because that was so much food !!! The sauce wasn't overly salty, I got garlic butter and Cajun. 10/10 would recommend. We also ordered hush puppies that were crispy and a little sweet which was a nice contrast to the seafood. I'm actually excited to go here again and I rarely return to seafood boil restaurants !
