i have been hearing the hype about craving crab for months. let me start with the good~ the sauce is to die for. 10/10 1000/10 immaculate and it carried the entire restaurant, but outside of the sauce i ran into problems on all fronts. i chose to eat in because i dont live in raleigh, inside was dead, very dead this sunday 1/4/26 (which may be why it wasn’t the best) was only customer… anyway me and my girl got seated drink taken cool normal… then we wait.. wait.. and waiting. we waited for like 45 min for 2 orders of crab & shrimp. a lot of employees was leaving with food while we waited so i think they was making their food the whole time we waited. the food - the sauce is fire as i said. 10/10 beef sausage is a lovely pleasure but the corn was soggy shrimp wasn’t all cleaned and some

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Craving Crab Seafood Review Craving Crab Seafood is hands-down one of the best seafood spots around. The food is always fresh, seasoned perfectly, and cooked just the way you want it. Every visit feels like a treat. But the real star? The Carolina Sauce. That sauce is unbelievable rich, flavorful, and full of that perfect Carolina-style kick. It’s the kind of sauce that makes you dip everything in it… seafood, potatoes, corn, whatever’s on your plate. It’s addictive in the best way. The portions are generous, the service is friendly, and the quality never misses. If you love seafood with real flavor, Craving Crab Seafood needs to be at the top of your list. And trust me—get the Carolina Sauce. It takes the whole experience to another level.

I’ve only been to two other places for a seafood boil in Raleigh but I am always up to trying a new place. This place was an instant regret. I should have just walked straight out the front door after initially using their disgusting restroom. Be aware that the “Cravingcrabs” restaurant is actually inside a bar which name is questionable because there were two different signs on the outside. I definitely won’t be coming back here for a second time. Seafood boil was questionable, over priced with gratuity automatically included. How this place has a 4.5 rating is a mystery. (Apologies for not taking a pic before I ate one of the eggs and the only corn on the cob. Also, should you choose to bless this establishment with your hard earned money, you may want to bring your own eating utensils a

Traveled from Los Angeles to NC & This is hands down the best Seafood/Seafood Sauce I have ever had! Sauce is like no other & not Salty at all, if you’re in the Raleigh Area and want some seafood give Cravingcrabs a Try! Hopefully to see them in California in the Future. The Fried Lobster Tail is AMAZING

My wife and I have been seeing videos of this place on our social media. It did not disappoint. My wife loved it…and whatever my wife loves I love. Atmosphere was chill, and the food was tasty. I definitely recommend trying it out. You won’t be disappointed.
