Superior Crab Monticello, AR

A solid, honest place that fits its town well. The atmosphere is simple, which is exactly what you expect — and what works — for a town of this size. No pretension, just a comfortable local restaurant. I had a steak and fried calamari as an appetizer. The steak was very well prepared, with clearly good-quality meat. I ordered it rare, and it came closer to medium-rare, but that didn’t hurt the experience at all. The flavor was excellent, and I genuinely enjoyed it. The presentation was outstanding — far better than I expected. The fried calamari was also very good: well balanced seasoning, light batter, and perfectly fried. Not greasy, not overdone — just right. Service was fast, and it was obvious the food was cooked to order, not pre-prepared and reheated, which I really appreciated. Th

The Build your own boil was AMAZING! I got the Juicy Special mild with shrimp and scallops. Could have drunk that sauce!! My husband got the garlic butter mild and practically licked the dish clean! Our waitress was super friendly and helpful. The food comes fast. It's a happy friendly place. Definitely stop and try!!

I visited back in May with my mother and brother. In all service was good and the atmosphere was good except for the bathroom plumbing issues which were out of order. A situation that I’m sure is fixed now. I didn’t enjoy my food as much it was kind of bland and had a strange taste. The dessert could’ve been better something I should’ve passed on. My mother and brother thought theirs were okay. The drink was okay I should’ve asked for it to be a little more stronger. I would’ve needed at least two more to get somewhat of a buzz.

I came to this restaurant with low expectations, based on previous experiences with customer service and food in this town—which is why I usually travel two hours just to enjoy a good meal. However, I was genuinely impressed. Everything about my visit was pleasant. The drinks were amazing, my waitress was incredibly helpful and friendly, and the entire staff was welcoming. The decor was also beautiful and added to the overall atmosphere. While the prices were a bit high, the experience was well worth it.

Waitress here STOLE from me. My total for my meal was 55.78$ I left a 4.22$ tip rounding my total to 60$ I got a notification from Union bank that superior crab had charged me 75$!!! Waitress changed the tip amount. Do not do business with thieves.
