How to Order at Crafty Crab

If you're new to the Crafty Crab experience, ordering can feel overwhelming at first — but that's part of the adventure. Start by choosing your protein: shrimp, snow crab, king crab, crawfish, mussels, clams, or a combination of everything in one of our famous combo bags. Then, pick your sauce — our legendary BOOM sauce is a crowd favorite for its bold, buttery, garlic-forward flavor with a hint of heat. You can also go with Cajun, Lemon Pepper, or mix them all together at your preferred spice level: Mild, Medium, Hot, or Extra Hot.

Each bag comes out piping hot, seasoned to perfection, and ready to be torn into. Pair it with our sides — corn on the cob, potatoes, sausage, and hard-boiled eggs — for the full boil experience. Our blog has in-depth guides on every item on the menu, so you'll always know exactly what to expect before you walk through the door.
