Crackin' Crab

It was my first time there and I was amazed. The inside offers plenty of space for a get together and there is even a bar area. The televisions offer the latest in sports news but aren't a main attraction. The menu is underwhelming. By that I mean if there is anyone in your party who doesn't like seafood do not go here. I don't remember seeing anything else on the menu. The staff was very attentive and courteous. What blew my mind is they literally brought the food in a big bag. There was no plates or silverware and the shells were just to be thrown in a provided bucket. Very fun casual atmosphere.

Nothing against the city of Breaking Bad, I am just not a fan of Albuquerque. I dread when my wife makes me take her shopping there. Today we stopped by crackin crab and I was amazed. I don’t even know how they stay in business with prices so low. Our kids made the mistake of ordering chicken tenders and boy were the sad when the “boil” showed up. My wife and I shared a pound of shrimp and a pound of mussels. It was a meal you don’t have to feel guilty after eating. It was amazing and we just got the sauce on the side because sauce is the only thing we can’t agree on. I will definitely make the trip out to Albuquerque again just for this place, we’re going to order the family pack next time. And the tables have paper on them so you can draw away while you wait.

My cousin and I decided to try this place, as it was closer to us. It was his suggestion. We walk in and there was about 5 other parties there and got seated. We were seated at a half booth table and I sat on the booth side of the table. The seat was just a flat piece of hard wood. Very uncomfortable. Then the waitress came, honestly she was kinda rude. She had a “🙄” attitude. We placed our order and had the family pack I ordered extra sausage, corn and potato. The food came out and it was just warm. I normally don’t complain and just go with it but I cut into my sausage and the middle was cold. I informed the waitress and she said she would bring out another one and 5min later she brings out a sausage link in a bag and just drops it on the table “here you go” I took the sausage out and put it in the other bag to get some seasoning bag, it would have been nice to have it seasoned but not a big issue. I wanted to ask them to reheat the rest of the food but I just ate it. I asked for another order of potatoes and was brought of one single potato in a bag. Threw it in the other bag and seasoned it. For two of us the total was about $60 with tip. I wouldn’t eat there again. I don’t mind paying that much but i would at the very least expect HOT food and it would be nice for them to ask if you would like to have add-ins seasoned. I was going to order more food but didn’t want to go through all the trouble. The Coke was good. That’s a plus I guess.

The environment is nice, but the restaurant is a little small. We ordered king crab legs and the crawfish which were both really tasty and the sauces were delicious. The service was not that good the server was really rude. Overall the food was delicious they just need to improve their service.

We had a fun meal here, there were 6 of us in our party and we had a memorable time. My 8 year old Grandson enjoyed the fish aquarium near the door. The crab legs, mussels and scallops were very tasty!
