Crab Corner

Not only were the soft shell crab sandwiches amazing, but the customer service received while at the restaurant was impeccable! I also needed a copy of my receipt emailed to me and the manager got right back with me in a such timely manner that really saved me from a trip across town. 5 stars for the food and 50 for the service!!!

A little hidden gem couple minutes off the strip. Super fresh Blue Crab steamed to order
I enjoy there very casual atmosphere, you sit on a bench table and they lay brown paper on it .
Crabs come out steaming hot. Start cracking and picking

While searching through Unilocal,I found this gem close to my home. Wow. I have been missing out. Hands down, the BEST salmon I’ve ever had. I’m very impressed!

I frankly can’t say enough about this place. Every time we have eaten here the staff is solicitous, the food is excellent, and the prices are reasonable.
Some of the notable items, in my opinion:
The Catfish
The Cod
The Crab
And, I have to mention the Corn-​on-​the-​Cob. Do they dip these in crack or what? Best I’ve ever had, to be honest. I could almost go here for that alone. Not that I ever would, since everything else is so good…
You can’t go wrong eating here…

I’ve been here a few times and had mixed feelings about the place but last night I had one of the best sandwiches in my entire life. No exaggeration.
I ordered the fried oyster poboy and it was superb. No other way to describe it. They were huge meaty oysters and the chef didn’t cheap out on me, the sandwich was loaded from front to back. It was absolutely amazing.
I found myself wanting to order a second immediately after.
This restaurant doesn’t just do crab right, it does seafood right.

Spectacular food and equally impressive service. This place is going to become a tradition for all future Vegas trips. Off the strip and plenty of parking, the steamed sampler was far tastier and more affordable than anything on the strip.

I bought a Groupon for this restaurant and saved it for a special meal. Decided to use it this evening to treat my son at the end of his Christmas break. Was close to home and I was hoping for some delicious seafood. My family loves seafood and we eat a lot of it. The place is a hole in the wall but we were warmly greeted and well taken care of. The guy’s wanted calamari which I didn’t want to order mostly because it was $ 11.99 but I caved unfortunately. It was a small amount of overly breaded fried scraps. The taste wasn’t too bad for crunchy scraps. The owner made the mistake of asking us how it was. Silence fell over the table me averting my eyes for a full minute then my husband just let it rip. Honestly this is the worst calamari I ever ate. He tried to make it up by bringing us a small order of fried oysters. The flavor was okay but it was another basket of overly fried seafood. I wanted to suggest some places he could visit to see what calamari should look and taste like. 2 ice tea’s $ 4.98 thank goodness the hubby drank water. My son had fried oysters, hush puppies and onion rings. More overly fried food but he liked it $ 14.99. Pasta Alfredo $ 14.99 for the hubby and this tasted pretty good with lots of shrimp but not worth the price. I had the crab cake just 1 $ 16.99. There wasn’t a lot of filler in it but it just didn’t taste like the price. I was expecting succulent juicy crab and it was pretty dry and blah. Hubby got a side of onion rings $ 2.99. Our bill was over $ 91.00 before the $ 25.oo Groupon. For this kind of money we could have eaten at a really nice restaurant with delicious food. I recommend if you have this kind of money to spend go somewhere else. We will definitely not go back. Three stars because the service was great.

We were feeling a bit crabby so we went on Thursday 12−31−15 at about 6pm for dinner. We were the only patrons and the two gentlemen there treated us like royalty… they were incredibly attentive and friendly.
This restaurant is located on Eastern & Flamingo. Their website says «fine dining seafood restaurant» but the ambiance there is very casual… some of the tables are picnic tables, they have rolls of paper towels on the tables, and bottled beers.
$ 45.35 got us crab pretzel appetizer, a cup of crab soup, a fried shrimp dinner, a baked tilapia dinner, two iced teas, and a side of fruit for the boy.
Crab Pretzel ($ 10.99)is a Bavarian style pretzel covered with their famous crab dip and cheddar cheese. The pretzel was soft and and the crab dip was creamy and wonderful. Not too fishy and not too salty… I could eat a whole crockpot full of that dip!
Maryland Crab Soup, according to their menu, has «lots of blue crab meat, tomatoes, lima beans, carrots, corn and onion, flavored with crab spice and served with an in-​shell crab half». Mine did not have half a crab in it… Maybe it’s because I ordered a cup instead of a bowl? I dunno… but I loved every bite of this soup. I had the flu and it was freezing outside and today I feel 75% better and the soup may or may not have been a magical potion that cured me.
Fried shrimp dinner ($ 13.99) came with about 20 lager-​battered shrimp and two sides. I chose the sweet potato fries and a side salad. The shrimp were so delicious… lightly fried and perfectly seasoned… I wish I could eat these every day. Their side salad was spring mix with onions, croutons, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Their ranch is definitely hidden valley and I would pick a different dressing next time.
They are rather pricey but it’s expected for good quality seafood. Yay! I’m a fan.

We had the Garlic steamer sampler. An easy choice that comes with a variety of seafood, crab included. The Clam Chowder and Lobster bisque is superb. We asked for additional corn cobs and a bowl of Maryland Crab soup to top off a wonderful meal. A bit pricey for dinner but acceptable.
The service is friendly and prompt.

I’ve had a
gift certificate for this place for nearly year and just now finally got around to using it. I wasn’t too excited going in. I’ve been to a couple crab places in Maryland and was never that impressed. But it had been awhile and I had the gift certificate — so why not give it a shot and visit the East Coast from Vegas.
It’s a small and unassuming restaurant. It has a dive-​y feel, but is cutely decorated with crab and Maryland items (ex. Orioles items). You seat yourself. Menus are brought to you. Market prices are posted on the chalkboard behind the counter /​cash register.
We were greeted immediately, had the menu explained to us, and our drink order was taken right then. Very friendly and attentive service. Very knowledgeable too — our server had some great recommendations.
The menu is rather extensive and includes non-​seafood items too. But, of course, when at Crab Corner, you should get crab — or at least some seafood. They have a small beer and wine list too.
After ordering, paper for table, utensils, bucket, etc. were brought to us. (No bibs, though.)
We opted for the Maryland crab soup, boardwalk fries topped with crab dip (it’s called crabby-​style), 1 large blue crab (they have «regular» up to «jumbo»), and 1 lb of littleneck clams. The blue crab took the longest and items were brought out to us as they were ready.
The soup was unique and tasty. Tomato based with basically shredded crab and veggies. The fries were seriously yum. On their own, they were good fries and perfectly done. But topped with the crab dip just elevated it to a whole other level. Seriously tasty! The clams were yum too. Perfectly cooked in a beer, butter, parsley, etc. broth. And the bread that it came with was great too. And then came the blue crab. Thankfully, we sat ourselves at the table next to the instructions on how to dig into one. And wow, I was blown away. Perfectly done and delicious. WAY better and FAR superior to that famous blue crab restaurant I went to in Annapolis, Maryland. Succulent and so tasty! I was so close to ordering another crab or two (but alas, I had filled up on the goodness of soup, fries, and clams).
We will most definitely be back! Fabulous food and fabulous service. Everything was super fresh and perfectly cooked. Who knew I actually like blue crab?

My feelings are truly mixed about this place. Came here because the fiancé remember it being really good but I like to believe I’m the food expert.
We ordered the lobster bisque which is really good! But I think a cup would’ve do us fine. Comes in second place after Mortons!
Oysters were the worst! Never tasted or seen any oysters like theirs it was small and weird I wished I taken some pictures but we got ½ dozen and my fiancé doesn’t like when I complain so I drown my oysters in salt and Tabasco.
Second came out clams! Yummmmmy in my tummy these clams were so good and buttery with lots of garlic the best dish tonight! And it came with plain bread to dip with. I would just add some of their Maryland seasoning on there and you’re good to go!
Last came my fiancé king crab claws and my blue crabs.
King crab claws were on the fishy side but I’m not sure if that’s normal since I never really liked them. My blue crabs on the other hands were so nice and sweet and tasty BUUUUTTTTT like the other Unilocaler mentioned it was so darn mushy! I went through the first one fine but the second one was so damn mushy it was not safe to eat. I told the waiter and he kindly brought out another one for me. The third one was just perfect!!! They should all be like that!
I would def come back and give them another try when they have crawfish in season.

Best place to visit before heading back home. I must say other than the good food our host (AJ) was very hospitable. Not sure if he is the owner but he sure holds the model of integrity for this establishment. AJ, sat down and put on some gloves just to show us how to eat more efficiently.
Ambiance: chill atmosphere suitable for large parties
Cost: Seafood at a fair price. Check for their daily specials.

My boyfriend was born and raised in Maryland, so he was absolutely stoked when I found this place on Unilocal.
Crab Corner reps Maryland so hard. Their cool flag is hung up everywhere. And sometimes the staff will wear their funny, punny, «I got crabs in Vegas» shirts. Hey, do you sell those?
We usually get the garlic steamer sampler and it is worth the money. I should say that if you go with someone from Maryland, be prepared to not eat most of the food, because they’re absolute wizards at cracking open the most difficult of crab parts. I struggle and attempt to use my tools, but when I succeed, the delicious crab meat is always the greatest reward.
The price is great for the amount of food you get. This place is awesome! Will definitely continue coming back. :)

Sad to report. Inconsistent crab quality. Only 5 of the 13 x-​large + large blue crabs that showed up at our table were acceptable. The rest had «mushy» meat in the body and legs. Inedible in my book. Not to mention this condition of crab meat will likely give you hives.
Depending on the season, I can buy a live 2 lb. dungeness crab from the Asian grocery store for anywhere between $ 8-​$ 20. Suffering a pricey $$$ Crab Corner lunch tab on a non-​special day will never happen again at this location.
At $ 8-​$ 10 per Crab Corner blue crab, one would think you’d expect perfection. Yes, we worked it out so we only had to pay for our crab cakes (fishy tasting — probably leftover day-​old crab) and oysters (not good either — read below) and 5 crabs… but because so many crabs were bad and the kitchen fixes the crabs to order, this lunch ended up being over 2.5 hours long. A total waste of our afternoon.
Oysters were on special ($ 1 each) but were ridiculously small. The owner-​manager (AJ) described them as being «Skipjack» oysters. I’d never heard of a «Skipjack» oyster before in my life, and I’ve eaten thousands of oysters. A skipjack is an oyster boat, right? Whatever they actually were, they were tiny, not even good, and therefore not worth it. And they were shucked poorly as well — little bits of teeth-​chipping shell were in almost half of the dozen I got.
I would avoid this location and revisit the Rainbow/​215 location the next time.

Fancy Vegas restaurants? Please. Give me some crabs and some hammers any day.
After the first night, all I could think about was going back and smashing more blue crabs.
My order was simply a shit load of female blue crabs and some corn.
When they brought the crabs to my table, it was like love at first sight.
I knew from that moment, my taste for this crab would be obsessive and that’s all I would think about until I get it again. They were loaded with seasoning and served with garlic butter. Simple yet amazing.
The next day approached, Vegas was a sweltering 109 degrees. First thought in my head, «Today is a good day to smash some crabs. Again.»
This time around, the lust and infatuation had passed and I was able to think with a clearer head. While still being delicious, these blue crabs are a pain in the ass to open up and eat. It will take almost $ 50 of crabs to feel remotely full. While as tasty as it is, don’t expect to get a full belly off these critters unless you don’t mind working for it.
Service was excellent and it wasn’t too crowded. Will have to return again to slay more clawed monsters.

My fiancé and I got here right before they were gonna turn off the steamers. We ordered 4 blue crabs, soft shell crab sandwich and boardwalk fries.
blue crabs– pretty fun to break open up your own crab and dip it in some butter and old bay seasoning. The servers will teach you how to properly crack open a crab.
Soft shell crab sandwich– so good. Honestly I just ate the soft shell crab, not a big sandwich person.
Boardwalk fries– I love french Fries, however didn’t concentrate on the taste as it has some seasoning on it. I was more focus on cracking up the crab.
I would def recommend and come back.
The servers were amazing and so helpful! I wish I got their names.
Tip– they turn off the steams at 8:30pm. So get there before 8:30! You need to give yourself enough time to enjoy the crabs!

If you love seafood you would appreciate this restaurant. It is the closest to Maryland style seafood located in the desert. The crab cakes were very filling and if you order it, one is enough. It was majority lump crab meat (crab cake lovers appreciate that). I was so excited for crab cakes I ordered 2 with blue crab, corn on a cob, and hush puppies. I was stuffed but very satisfied.
The prices are a little higher for blue crab but it’s expected being in Las Vegas – no ocean (imported seafood daily).
This restaurant has two locations. I went to the location closer to the strip (10 min. drive), easy to find. I was surprised to see the store front, it looked more like a take out restaurant but we went in anyway and I’ll definitely go back for a meal again.

This place is located in the corner of a strip mall & is nothing fancy to look at but HOLY SHIT, THIS SEAFOOD IS FRESH!
My husband & I ordered shrimp sandwiches with the calamari appetizer and it was all SO GOOD. The sandwich had large pieces of shrimp & was tossed in fresh herbs, even the bread it was on was AMAZING.
We weren’t interested in many of the other items on the menu but this place is worth checking out for these sandwiches alone.

If you want fresh seafood this is the place to come. They are a little pricey but the food is worth the price and if you leave here hungry its your own fault.
The staff is very friendly and helpful especially if you do not know exactly what or how to order.
I had the crab cakes which comes in an order of 1 or 2, I got 2 with sweet potato fries and they were not only amazing tasting but very filling.
People we were with ordered a platter for 2 and could not finish it there was so much food… This platter can actually feed 3 or 4 which for $ 49.99 that is an amazing price.
This place has to have good food because they are always crowded and sometimes it does take a little long to get the food but everything is cooked to order.
If you have never been here, I say give it a try but if it is crowded, please be patient because it will really be worth the wait.

Good stuff. As someone else mentioned, pretty amazing to get this stuff on the West Coast.
Garlic crabs were excellent, steamed mussels excellent, and crap soup was also excellent. Maybe a bit expensive if you don’t go when they are running specials, but definitely a very tasty meal. They say the seafood is all alive when you order, so it might take a while when they are busy.
