Overall, Seau de Crabe delivers fresh seafood with generous portions and flavorful sauces that many diners find satisfying. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the staff are usually friendly and attentive, though some visits feature slower service or moments of chilly attitude. Value is mixed, with portions and quality praised but prices sometimes felt high for the amount received, especially with takeout where packaging and sauce portions sparked complaints. Repeated visits and consistent praise for the crab and shrimp show this spot as a reliable choice for seafood lovers, while a few reviews caution about variability in service and pacing.
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The dishes were incredibly delicious & full of flavor. Our server, Majdouline, was exceptional; she was friendly, attentive, & made sure everything was perfect. I'll definitely be coming back & highly recommend this place to everyone

Lors de ma visite un mardi à midi, ma première impression a été marquée par une odeur désagréable en entrant. Bien que j'avais l'intention de manger sur place, j'ai été surpris de devoir passer commande au comptoir & de recevoir des ustensiles jetables en bois. J'ai aussi remarqué des erreurs de français sur une affiche, & quand je l'ai mentionné, on m'a répondu que c'était le propriétaire qui l'avait faite & qu'il n'y aurait pas de changement. Le mojito sans alcool manquait de saveur, ressemblant davantage à du Zup avec du citron & de la menthe. Malgré cela, la nourriture était bonne & le personnel a pris en compte mes demandes, ce qui a rendu l'expérience plus agréable. Globalement, j'ai bien mangé.
Really confused at first because I walked in at the counter with two workers just talking to each other & no greeting or acknowledge if my presence. This happened for a good minute until the one girl who was taking care of all the tables came & finally greeted me. Normally I would've left but it was raining & I wanted fried seafood. Then as the service went on I saw they were kind of trading turns working... it was interesting. It got so busy at one point that they all had to work at work... wild huh haha. Anyway, the food, the food was pretty good. It looked beautiful (check the pics) it was honestly like the most healthy tasting fried seafood I've ever had. The shrimps & chips were so crunchy (deliciously so) & they just had a not so salty nor greasy look, feel, & taste about them. I got the large portion & couldn't finish it all so took it to go. Also had sauces on the side like Heinz ketchup hot sauce, & two other dipping sauces. None were very salty nor flavorful to me strangely. Though I'm s fan of intense flavors & excellent service, I would overall recommend a visit to this place. It's like a healthy fried seafood or book spot. & prices aren't ridiculous. The meal cost me CAD$24 - CAD$34 after tax & tips & could've fed 2.
