Review Crackin' Crab - Albuquerque

My New Walk With Jesus
Had a hard time deciding to go here or other crab places. Glad we made the decision to go here. The cajun boil bags were amazing. I got 2 lbs of crab in my bag and it came with a potato and corn for about $55. My husband got 2 lbs of crab and 1 lbs of mussels for about $70. Was totally worth it as it was a large portion that took us a while to get through. Keep your bag twisted close as you go and the crab will stay warm. I got a side of rice to pour the extra sauce over. Word of advice, the hot sauce is so delicious but will make your nose run. Ask for extra gloves so you can change them to wipe your nose. The nice Asian ladies working yesterday had great service as well! The only thing is I wish they had more sides to choose from. I love Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, biscuits, and other things with my crab.

The food was good. The lemon and Cajun spice mixed was delicious. It did not overwhelm. We did get the mild spice. The butter is $1-3 extra. We got a combo and 1lb of crab legs. It didn't look like much but it was filling. Their buffalo wings had a dry rub but were not hot at all (my boyfriend asked for the hottest one). There's not as many variety options. I liked how friendly the staff was towards us. It had a nice atmosphere. We came during a lull so nobody was inside. (The piece of corn was super small and the potato was a small potato)

Way better than those other places!!! Better food for better value!! Truly an amazing experience. Cathy and the rest of the staff are awesome. Food is amazing. And the set up is perfectly decorated. Will definitely be returning.. yes you get a big but don't plan on staying clean the whole time.

Entering this location was a little strange. The front looks like it's being renovated and so there's a large, mostly empty room on the left when you come in the main entrance. The main room that is open for eating is cozy and smells delicious. The raw oysters were a disappointment (wouldn't do again). They didn't taste very fresh at all. The broiled lobster and king crab legs were great though. I would just think that considering how much you're paying that you would get more corn and potatoes but no complaints at all about the crab legs and lobster. They were great. Hoping to try the crawfish here when they're in season! Great service.

The food here was 10/10! The service was absolutely on point! I didn't stop thinking about the scallops I got for 3 days afterwords. The only negative about this place was the dust on all of the decor and lights.. In my experience, that's where you find the best food, though. Could have been made more comfortable with just a mild cleaning.

First time trying this place and I really liked it. They have different choices of sauces they can add to your order. I got the Dungeness crab cluster with Crackin' sauce hot. It wasn't very hot where you could not enjoy your food and it was a great flavor. We also ordered the peeled and deveined shrimp with Lemon Pepper which was also really good. I would return as well as recommend this restaurant. We added the sausage and corn to our boils and the corn was so good and very sweet, I would suggest these additions also. Pricenis reasonable and of course based on market value of the seafood you order. If you read my review, please hit the like button. Thank you

Took my son here for his birthday. It's his absolute favorite! And as usual it didn't disappoint. The food is always hot and fresh! Service is fantastic as well!

I ordered the drift bag. It contained scallops, mussels, shrimp, and snow crab. I chose the lemon pepper and crackin sauce mix as my seasoning. The food was made super fast and it was delicious šŸ˜‹. Just be ready to make a mess. The mess is worth it, though.

Good seafood boil. We ordered the #2 with medium spice and chicken strip meal. Convenient location off the freeway and near hotels, if you are traveling. Friendly staff and very efficient.

Food and service were fine. A little pricey, but it's fresh(?) seafood. But, after seeing the black mold in the washroom, will not be going back.

Me and my wife love this place. My opinion, best seafood spot in town. The cracking sauce delicious, they have hot or mild but the hot to me is just fine.

I will say all the food is always good but it was my first time dinning in and if youā€™re going to seat people next to a wall then maybe you should clean the wall off all the nastiness so people donā€™t have to look at that while they eat.

Food was great! Server was awesome! Came here for my sons birthday, overall it's a great place if your craving seafood.
Doris Duran
Worst seafood EVER! Most flat tasting seafood in history!!! Even their boil was very lacking of flavor. Will never eat there or recommend that place. Bob's Burgers would have been better!

Excellent service. It was our first time eating boil style and the waiter- Pi was so helpful and nice. Couldnā€™t have felt anymore welcome. Great people and great food.

Best seafood Iā€™ve had in New Mexico! Always cooked to perfection, and those scallops are heaven in a bag!
Danny Monzon
This place is my absolute favorite in Albuquerque. The food is so finger lickin good. Prices are good and the staff are always so helpful.
Marty Ruiz-Garcia
Not that great & way over priced. We got our boil cooked in butter & garlic, but I guess it was cheap butter because it had no flavor. We had to salt the heck out of our food. Never again.

Crackin' Crab is unique. There is nothing like this in Los Angeles. I love the cajun seafood! I will go back to this place again when I return to Albuquerque.

Was there last night ... Walked out ! The waitress had an attitude and incompetent... After we ordered the 50 dollar bucket another couple walked in sat down next to us ...Took their time looking at the menu then ordered.. We sat while their food comes and started eating.. I go to ask the waitress what the deal was and sheā€™s folding silverware giving me attitude while see points to our bucket sitting there getting cold ! Never will go back !

Always satisfied. Friendly staff is an added bonus. Lunch time is always the best time to come... it gets too crowded in the evening.
