We enjoy this seafood boil spot! Good variety on the menu. First discovered it and did take out and enjoyed the quality of the seafood. Then dined in with a group and then a smaller party. The oysters are fresh. The catfish basket with sweet potatoes is succulent, tender and delicious. Also got the Crab Island Green Tea, a tasty drink. The bathrooms seem clean. Parking can be a little tight but accessible. The sharpie writing alll over the walls is interesting but at times can be noisy to the eyes.

Hubby and I wanted to try seafood boil but we were very skeptical! This place is a hidden gem! The food was definitely better than we expected. From the appetizers to the entrees, so delicious! The drinks were okay, wouldn’t come here for drinks but everything else was 10/10. The vibes, music - love the fact Bad Bunny and Hispanic music was played instead of the normal/restaurant music. The dumplings 10/10, fried shrimp 10/10, the seafood boil was also a 10/10! And to top it all is not expensive at all!

Let me tell you this place is a hidden gem. We found this place by accident and man will we be coming back many times. What a great atmosphere and service is excellent. For what we ordered our seafood boil had way more seafood than I thought we would get. What we paid for the food was perfect for the amount of food we got. All the food was amazing. The drinks were also on point. Definitely a must go to.

This place is clean, staff very friendly and professional. The food is delicious. The calamari for appetizer, fresh and awesome. I ordered Combo A, it taste like everything was cooked and seasoned separately then added to the bag with the season of choice, highly recommended and you get your money worth. Now the drinks, I'll just say they were NOT watered down. Crab Island is definitely worth it, I will definitely be going back.
