Crab Pot

Always closed before time. Frustrating as hell. get out of car to walk up to nothing. Mouth watering for crab legs now. Not first time either.

The food was great the service was good. Just hate they had just run outta crablegs just as I got there. But what I got still was awesome.

Let me just say this is seafood heaven! The food is always fresh, hot, and delicious! They give you plenty and it’s always on point! There is a bit of a wait, but it’s definitely worth it! Check them out and exercise some patience folks! Don’t bother with call-​ins because more often than not it still won’t be ready, but again it’s worth it!

Why have I not done a review for this place ??? Don’t let the look of the exterior scare you away from this place. The food is awesome. I come here at leave every other week. I always get the daily special which is crab legs, shrimp, potatoes, and egg. It is sooooooo good! You don’t need any butter at all because it’s soaked in it. Everything is seasoned so well. The wait can sometimes be long but it’s well worth it. This place is not close to me but I drive here because it’s just that good. This is place has the best crab legs out of anywhere that I’ve ever been. If I could give more than 5stars I would. The service is awesome and the food is superb. If you are a seafood lover than you have to try this place out.

Best seafood place in Atlanta ga my daughter went there the other day for crab legs she said it’s the best seafood place ever!!! I love seafood so me and her dad went to try it. And let me tell you it’s the best seafood place ever. You get so much seafood for cheap I will go back for sure. I got crab legs, shrimp, potatoes, corn, egg and neck bone for only $ 14 yes $ 14

The potatoes here are the best ever!!! I don’t like their Whiting fish at all that I received with my 5.99 special. The fish tasted oily and gross but the everything else is delicious. They don’t like taking cards so you’d be better off taking cash.

Wow! Is all I can say. «Delicious» My son and I had the daily special-​crab legs, potato, shrimp, egg and corn. The food was served fast, reasonably priced and most of all delicious!

This is my second time at this establishment and again they have knocked it out of the park! The prices are reasonable and the food is great! You will have to wait a little for your order, but it is well worth it!!! 5 stars from me!

Love this place. was actually amazingly great have to be there early to get what you want, because it sells out quick!!! Not being from atl I’m missing my blue claw this is one of the only places I have found them since being here…

This is my go to spot sometimes I become so desperate that I take the 45 minute drive to this place. The food is good and addicting I wonder what they put in it sometimes and should I be worried. I found this little hole in the wall spot through someones explorer page and the food looked amazing. Pricing is right on point and you get generous plates. Make sure you get the BrENee special has everything you need to get you right for two days Crab, Shrimp, Necklines, Corn, Potatos, Egg for $ 15 at Benzinos place I purchased two crab clusters, shrimp, corn, heavenly lemonade and it was more then $ 30 will never go back there.
only reason why I did not give this place a 5 star rating was for the fact sometimes there is a long line and I still have to wait for my food after calling in.
DEAR OWNER — You have a lot of people behind you just keep doing your thing don’t change your prices or your portions and you will continue to have a lot of people supporting you

To some everything up; Phenomenal! I had a really awful day the day I found this place. I just traveled from home, (Charleston, SC) to catch a flight to Miami from Atlanta and end up missing my plane. My plans were screwed! The only thing that could make me happy where some garlic crabs and some dark liquor! Lol.
I utilized my Unilocal resources and stumbled across this place. I was familiar with the area, being I’m from out of town and it was only ten minutes away from my hotel on Old National Hwy, so I gave it a shot. It didn’t take me long to get there. It was located by an old shopping discount mall off of Old National. I was greeted by a rather young man with a smile and he asked me want I wanted. I told him I was a crab connoisseur so I am holding you to a high standard! He laughed with reassurance and ensured that I wouldn’t be disappointed! I order a large order garlic blue crabs, a frog more stew concoction (shrimp, corn, potatoes, sausages, etc). My ticket was approx 27 dollars and I waited for 30 minutes. I went to complete my pity party by finding a liquor store to purchase some fine cognac and wait for my crabs.
Once everything was done, I picked up my order was completed and brought my food to the room for my boyfriend and I to enjoy. He opened the styrofoam takeout boxes and was instantly pleased on sight. The crabs were seasoned to perfection. Everything was perfect. A tad greasy due to the garlic butter compote but none the less satisfying! WILL BE BACK!!! Also! Very strong garlic smell, be sure to dump shells away after annihilation.

The flavor of this low country boil put my attempt at cooking it a couple of weeks ago to shame. The trip to the farmers market, the cooking and cost were a waste of time. Whenever I get the taste for a low country boil, I will hit this spot again. Some people call it ghetto but hey where do you find the best food at a great price.
I drank the cool aid but after the reviews, I will the next time. The guys were nice and I didn’t wait terribly long. Happy Camper.

I tried the crab pot in July while visiting a friend after seeing their various steampots. I didn’t realize this was a carryout spot but it was cool. I got their special of the day which included snow crab legs, andoullie sausage, corn, shrimp and potatoes. It costed NOTHING lol. I paid maybe 12 dollars. The food was phenomenal and very well seasoned. The only issue that I had was everything else outside of food and price. The people were nice but they couldn’t take cash at the time. They didn’t provide us with eating utensils or wetnaps and they had one half roll of paper towels in the front. I do get that they are not typically eat in so I can’t dock them too much. I just know what to expect when I come back cause it’s worth coming back to.

Love this place. Not a place to eat in. Be there ready to wait 30 – 40 mins, well worth it. Decent prices, no big complaints other than soemtimes the card machine isn’t working. There’s a sign staying no call in orders. Organization would do wonders for this place

I have been watching this place post some of the best looking seafood on their Instagram page @iamthecrabman_ Let me tell you it did not disappoint. I took a Lyft ride over to Old National to check this place out. It sits on the right side of the Flea Market on Godby Road.
I got there Bout 1:15. People were waiting for their food and also eating at the picnic tables. Their was a group of older ladies in there swooning over their crab legs and taking pics. I asked one lady hiw was it. She was smacking so hard and locking her fingers she answered without having to tell me. She said it was seasoned very well. Just what I wanted to hear.
You order your food at the register to the left if the counter. I stood in the pickup line for a few minutes before I realized this. I was absorbed with folks asking for the lemonade. I got two. Real good and a sugar over load.
I ordered my food with the owner. He was a little distracted but I understood because he was keeping everything flowing. I ordered the $ 12.99 crab pot. This includes two snow crab clusters, shrimp, potatoes, corn and boiled eggs. I also ordered the Fried Conch with potatoes which was $ 10.
The young man with the pretty smile got me my food and made some small talk about how much I will like their food. He wasn’t wrong. I had to taste the conch before I left the place. So good.
Yes the previous reviews are correct. It’s cook to order, it’s a hood spot, you have wait but so what. You wait for good things and I love hood spots that are not chains. The food was good, plentiful and most of all at a good price. In Philly that platter was $ 20 and that was years ago. I just wish they had dungeness crab. Then I really would be in heaven. Loved this spot.

Good food… but GHETTO! I had the shrimp po boy and wanted a coke to wash it down but they were out. Ok I’ll take a Sprite nope no sprite either. The cashier walked down the sidewalk & came back with a pineapple soda. Aaaah no maam no thank you. I’ve gone there again and stood in line 30 minutes to receive my call in order. Definitely need more people with some organization skills to keep the line moving and in an orderly fashion.

1^st of all most of the reviews I read were accurate but I will provide some context.
–it’s delicious
— This is not a in and out spot. Just like most delicious food I e had this takes time, it’s packed and they are a small operation. So I go with the wait and mind and I’m good. Patience is a virtue. But be prepared for a 30 – 40 min wait or more during peak times. I ain’t mad though.
— no call ins typically that’s the rule
— great customer service especially from the owner pictured with the white boots
— this is not for a diet or healthy meal… salty, buttery, sweet and delicious.
— 12.99 crab special is a deal
— I get an order of extra corn and eggs
— sometimes shrimp a lil to well done
— it’s delicious
— go get some

Tried this place out and it was the BEST in town ! Stephanie’s choice was delicious and not to mention there was A LOT of food ! Overall i will be coming back !

You want good fried seafood come here, come early, and wait on it, Sugah!
My friend and I met some of my other friends this past Saturday– we arrived at 430. The line was almost out the door and everyone seated was waiting on their food, including my girls who’d ordered 20 – 25 mins before.
It’s your traditional hood spot– hand written signs, hot as fish grease, and they may run out of what you want by the time it’s your turn to order (crab legs). Then again, they may TELL you they ran out, & THEN AFTER you’ve gotten your order, you see people leaving with something that looks a LOT like crablegs pokin out of several (read at least 8) carryout bags. «You ain’t got ta lie, Craig! «
Let me wrap this up, cause I can be long-​as-​heck-​winded. (See!!! #focus)
Pros: The fish (tilapia– all they had left) and shrimp combo ($ 14)I had was DELICIOUS. Fresh, Well seasoned, breading crunchy, great texture. Potatoes were SUPADUPA buttered and seasoned (almost too much though). I tasted the sausage from one of ly girls’ combos, & it was spicily delicous.
Cons: I waited for an hour, they were out of ALL beverages, including water (eh?). No bathroom, tv WAY too loud, my girl’s corn on the cob looked pretty overcooked, & the crableg lie. (Hmph!) I ended up going to the convenience store a couple doors down and got something to drink, at great prices. (Okay, saving money on drinks is not a con.)
I’d go again, just with a book to read, or my girls so we can laugh and giggle… oh, and a snack for the wait.

Generally on my birthday, my mother and I have lunch someplace and this years birthday lunch took place at the College Park Crab Pot.
We went with the $ 12 crab leg special, which comes with a cluster of crab legs, red potatoes, shrimp and a boiled egg. We added two additional clusters, added two pineapple lemonades ($ 2 each) and our $ 24 lunch jumped in price to $ 47.
They have their own garlic seasoning they use on the food and I found the crab legs and shrimp to be really tasty. The potatoes were overcooked but still had lots of flavor, the boiled egg threw me off and I asked a lady behind the counter what was the deal with the boiled egg and she replied, we’re from the south and that’s how we do it. Now, I’m from the south too, so that made me ask, so its suppose to be like a deviled egg and she said No, its just the way we do it. I decided not to inquire further, because that tells me she doesn’t know the purpose of the boiled egg either.
Business was very brisk for a Thursday afternoon during lunch time. Their voice-​mail does include the operating time, but it also states they can close early if they run out of food.
I mention that because I returned on Saturday, and as I made my way to the counter, the gentleman in front of me in line, turned around and said, they are out of crab legs. It was 2:30 in the afternoon. Thankfully, I wasn’t there for crab legs.
I returned on Saturday because they have garlic pig feet on the menu board, but when we were there on Thursday, the man behind the counter said they offer that dish on Saturday and my mom was insisting that she try those.
Saturday, I called ahead and was told they did have the pigs feet, and they were not taking any phone orders. Once I arrived, I could understand why, the line was out the door, no exaggeration. There were at least 20 people inside waiting for food, and six people standing around outside waiting for their orders to be ready.
They have four or five tables, so if its slow enough you can eat here, but if its busy as it was on Saturday, then eating in would be a bother for me, because I wouldn’t won’t people standing over me while I’m trying to eat everybody on their cell phones, sneezing etc… in addition, people are sitting at the tables waiting on their food, and they aren’t likely to move because you want to sit down and eat.
Please note this spot is in the hood, and it has a hood attributes to it… to name a few… It was hot as heck in here. Not sure if the A/​C was turned up high, or just with all the people and food cooking it heats the place up, but both days the place felt incredibly warm to me and I asked several times, why is it so hot in here? Secondly, both time the TV was turned to MTVRaps and there was no way I was about to ask anyone to turn the TV down or change the channel, you don’t go in and get the feeling that any extra accommodations to the guest will be taken into consideration, and no one else seemed bothered by rap music blasting out at them, so I rocked to the songs and knew and kept eating.
They also have blue crabs and I think the menu board says you can get them fried. Either way, I plan to return because I want to try those garlic blue crabs.
Like another poster said… you can tell its good because of the number of people waiting to get their food.
