The Crab Pad

We were looking for some place to hang dinner and saw the cute little sign. The staff are all very nice and patient.. yes I'm the one that spilled the cup twice. 😭😭 Very flavorful seafood (shrimp, crawfish, crab legs, potatoes and corn). Appetizers are Also priced very reasonably. Chicken tenders are nice soft and juicy, the elote is very well seasoned.

Not only the BEST CRAB in CHICAGO, but one of my favorite seafood places period. Raised on crab with family along the coast, so I’ve always tempered my expectations for real crab in Chicago. This completely blew away my expectations - delicious!! Made me feel like I was back home and better. Also, VERY REASONABLE PRICES. Held off coming here too long cause I assumed great seafood in Chicago had to be overpriced - not here. Can have an amazing meal for under $20. Lastly, outstanding service from Nena - especially appreciated her recommendation of the fish and shrimp basket.

The crab pad is amazing! The food was so damn delicious but the price is bit expensive but it's worth it. Me and my boyfriend went there yesterday last night, it's our first time coming in and the food smells the bomb, they give us the apron which is cool, the service was quick, and the food is the explosion of deliciousness! I would recommend come there if your love crabs, and we would come by again at any day anytime!

Omg, I went here twice this month. What a fun, delicious restaurant. The food was hot, mouth watering, and in good amounts as well. You can expect to get a little messy but they provide a bib, napkins, gloves if you want them. Just enjoy it, it's part of the experience. I tried the shrimp, mussels, cornbread, crab Rangoon, my wife had the snow crab with hers. It was all fantastic. I want to take everyone here. So fun.

First time at this place and been wanting to track down a good seafood boil place in Chicago for a while! Firstly, the absolute biggest surprise was definitely the fish tacos. Super flavourful and only $5 for 3! As for the seafood boil, I thought their prices were very reasonable and the seafood was very fresh. Overall a great experience but my only critique would be that they added more sauce to the boil bag itself. I found it a little bland and there wasn’t enough sauce in the bag and under the shells. Once I ordered extra sauce, it tasted much better and way more delectable! Would definitely come back but will continue to try some other seafood boil places as well

Checked out Crab Pad and had a super fun dining experience. Love the seafood boil and I believe this is one of the best seafood boil Chicago. The food is a total flavor fest and the portion sizes are good and easily shareable. Its a BYOB spot and I love their build your own popsicles. We tried the chocolate and peach flavors and liked them both . We had the apps from the happy hour menu and got the shrimp combo, wings, garlic noodles, spicy Cajun fries, nacho fries, loaded tots, Thai chicken rice plate, popsicle, and tea lemonade. Each of the items we got was a 10/10! The service is a great and the food arrives quickly. Highly recommend.

Theresa and her team at the The Crab Pad are wonderful. I cannot speak more highly of the quality of service and food provided. We recently partnered with The Crab Pad to host a resident event (seafood boil) and our tenants loved it! If you’re looking for delicious Cajun-style seafood, look no further!

Must-go seafood boil 🦀 🦞 in Logan Square! @crabpad Theresa opened this spot in 2016 after craving some Cajun crab. But she couldn't find any good spots so she opened one herself! This is Vietnamese inspired Cajun, with locally sourced Cajun + buttery garlicky goodness 🧈 We got the Snow crab legs + crawfish + large shrimp. Comes with green beans, potatoes, and corn 🌽 ☝️Pro tip 1: add garlic noodles! Soaks up the bomb sauce for a delicious meal ☝️Pro tip 2: get the shrimp head-on, they use the really tasty large shrimp that has roe in it too, which makes the sauce even more flavorful ☝️Pro tip 3: bring your own booze! They have a delicious mixer , I loved the peach and mango ones! They have strawberry too. I loved them as is, but you can add tequila , gin, or vodka etc ☝️Pro tip 4: GET THEIR POPSICLES. The cookies and cream was DELICIOUS and you can mix and add different toppings Don't forget their apps, got the spicy hot Cheeto elotes+ hot Cheeto Mac & cheese balls Note Street parking available! Always check out their site, they have lots of deals happening all the time, like the fathers day one coming up

The servise, the food, and atmosphere was 100%. It was my friends and I’s first time and the beautiful person (sorry I forgot your name) helped us make the best choices and even gave us a discount. We tried the mix boil sea food 😋 my friends also had fried calamari all was perfect. What I loved most was how warm and welcoming the place and people were. Thank for a great experience. Next time I am in Chicago, I’ll make it a point to visit🫂💕…. 5star worth FS.
