Cary Crab House

My wife loves this place. The only decent crab place nearby, but do not miss the fried selections. While she loves to cook the Cajun style crab, I prefer the fried shrimp or Calamari. The bread is really simply perfect, light, crispy and not oily at all. The sweet potato fries are a little blazing, so I will probably go with another side, but all in all we enjoy the food. Sitting and decor is pretty good. The only grip is the pricing for the crab chef, but this is to be expected with this kind of food. If I could recommend a change, you have ?pick 2? options for your fried foods. In a position to order shrimps and oysters, or catfish and calamari, on the same plate this place would make perfect for me.

Was not overly pleased with this meal. The shrimp was a fair size and flavor with an OK serving of waffle cut sweet potato fries. All were cooked fine, though there was nothing exceptional about their flavor or presentation. Others with me tried the crab cakes and the pound of steamed shrimp. The crab cakes had a very soft and sweet flavor/texture and the steamed shrimp was standard fare. We did order a side of the rice sausage, which was quite good but didn 't make up for the underwhelming performance of the rest of the meal. We tried 2 different cheesecakes and thought they were a little too off for our tastes. It tasted like the crust had a garlic and salt flavored oil as the binder. On its own, the crust was not very appetizing. Having the crust with the cake filling, as one is supposed to eat it, the crust imparts an odd salty oily flavor to the bite. Not a fan of the desserts.

Fantastic food. Everything was hot and delicious. The crab legs were fresh and flavorful. The Cajun sauce and seasoning was amazing. Exceptional service. We were discreetly checked on frequently by our waiter and the staff. Very cozy ambiance. Relaxed environment. Very reasonable price for the quality. We left full and happy ?

For the price of crab being $53.99 it was shocking to get my water with lemon in a styrofoam cup, plastic silverware, paper plates and (2) terrible meals. The crab was delivered in a bag. The sauces were not homemade. The best thing was the beer which was needed in order to eat the meal. It has got to be the worst seafood we?ve ever eaten. I cannot understand the positive reviews; we will never return.

Food was pretty good. Portions were satisfactory. Could ramp up the flavor of the seasoning. I tried the Big Bang which was more like little bang even tho I got it mild. Food came quick and was hot. Server was sociable. Ambiance was overall nice with music, not so much with annoying kids. Shrimp was delicious, so we're crab legs. There could be a little more description on the menu of items. Good location but a little tight with parking as it's near other stores. Would definitely recommend and would visit again.
