Crafty Crab Alexandria

BAR REVIEW. Came here Thursday afternoon for happy hour and dinner—we opted to sit at the bar. Our bartender Tiffany was great, made tasty cocktails and was friendly & attentive. The Apple Martini was okay but I enjoyed the Blueberry Lemon Drop Martini and Dirty Gin Martini more. Happy hour specials (2-7pm) were $8 house drinks and $4 beers! Food wise, we enjoyed the Seafood Boil: Crawfish and Snow Crab Legs with The BOOM!!! seasoning—well flavored and delicious! For dessert, we tried the Chocolate Cake which was good.

This establishment is exceptional, earning it a perfect score of 10 out of 10. The seafood boil bag, without sausage, two eggs, chicken, tender, fries, catfish with hush puppies, pink lemonade, a Sprite, and a blueberry lemon drop is a delightful experience. My daughter is thoroughly enjoying her chicken tenders, while my son is radiating happiness. The other child, despite not having anything to say, seems content. The customer service is commendable, and this will undoubtedly be my next visit. The food is hot, fresh, and reasonably portioned.

Whenever visiting Fort Belvoir, YOU MUST dine here!!! The service is par excellent, from the greeter, the waiter (DWIGHT) to security! We had a blast and will be returning soon, LORD willing!!! Thank you for this extraordinary experience!

Waited 1.5 hours only got our soft drinks, people who came after us got their food first, we kept being told that our order was in the “works” ended up cancelling and leaving. I understand that it was a Friday and it’s busy but could you not at least give us our cheesesticks? Also the owner replying to these bad reviews doesn’t seem to care, whenever someone leaves a bad review the response is so basic, issues don’t get addressed. Take pride in your business atleast… Waste of time never going back!!
