Babe! It was a Friday and I was craving crab legs, real bad. I’d been hearing good and bad reviews about Cajun Crab and decided to give them a try for myself to see what the deal was. Not only was I pleasantly surprised, I would return despite a few hiccups. Deciding on this crab spot? Maybe this article can help sway your decision… keep reading.
Inside… Just Wow.
Cajun Crab is Jacksonville’s newest crab boil style and seafood restaurant located at 410 Commerce Center Dr, Jacksonville, FL 32225. From the outside it looks like a regular smegular establishment. However, inside is where the magic happens. I first want to note the place was extremely clean and well put together. If I ever wanted to visit a seafood spot. This has set the bar for how I feel it should look. We are talking mermen, fishing nets, and I might’ve even saw a boat somewhere. They did not hold bag on an under the sea aesthetic. 10/10 for cleanliness and appearance. Anyway, I wasn’t in the mood to dine in so I walked in and placed my order to go.
Based on the online and Tiktok reviews, everything was checking out in the good review direction. Let’s talk about what they serve.
What I Ordered From Cajun Crab
Aside from the crab boil bags they also serve fried rice, they also do fried seafood platters, and a massive amount of appetizers. What I did like about this menu is the combos.. giving you a little bit of this or that for one price. When it comes to pricing it’s extremely affordable.
Let’s Get To The Nitty Gritty.. Here’s What I Ordered
Speaking of affordable. On sight there are tons of specials listed as soon as you walk in. They have daily specials and weekend savings. I decided to go for the weekend special which included 1/2 pound of crab legs, 1/2 pound of shrimp, 1 corn, and 2 potatoes for 20.00. Yes, all of that for 20.00! I was getting take out for me and the kiddo so I got a bag for both of us. One garlic butter mild and the other lemon pepper mild. When it comes to sauce they also have cajun, butter (no spice or season), and garlic butter (no spice or season), and the heat can range from no spicy, mild, medium, hot, and extra hot.
The wait was less than 20 minutes and we were out. Once I made it home and began fishing through my bag (no pun intended) I immediately noticed each bag was packaged with care, double plastic. No spills here. The contents also included wet wipes, gloves, and utensils. Okay now! lol.
Here’s The Real Rating
Both lemon pepper and garlic butter were extremely flavorful. They got the flavor pallet right. I equally enjoyed both sauces. The size of the shrimp were great and they were deveined. The crab legs also were a good size. All of the meat was cooked to perfection. Nothing was overcooked or overly salty. It was not bland, at all. This tends to be the case at some of the crab places around. Based on this alone I would give this meal a 8.5/10.
Here’s What Was Wrong
The potatoes were overcooked. To the point they could would’ve been mashed potatoes had they cooked 2 minutes longer. I did not appreciate this, at all. When it came to the garlic butter, I would’ve appreciated a little more sauce. They put just enough for me to make it work. But if we are going to call it ‘juicy seafood’ bring on the juice baby. The corn was cooked perfectly. Based on these factors I would give my 7.5 /10.
Overall Cajun Crab was an amazing experience. Value, customer service, and taste I would easily go back again. I would definitely like to explore more items on the menu… did I mention they have a full bar? Yeah. Have you visited this spot? What was your experience? If you haven’t been, hopefully this review helps. should you go let me know!
