Best Crab Legs All You Can Eat Wed. Nite/GREAT Service Janelle & Steve in Bar, Great Band Tim O'Brien Band (Jazz & Blues)
by PamBobVorpahl at Citysearch
On my BDay 9/24/2008 a Wednesday Nite, My husband took me out to the Fridley Crab House.
I got to tell you I had read several reviews that weren't very favorable on this place, but because I had a craving for Crab, and, this place was fairly close I thought what the heck I'll give ita shot. Am I glad we did!!!
We sat at the Bar and have a cocktail, Steve the Bartender's service & cocktails were Great! Janell one of the wait servers was seated nearby at he time I thought she was a customer and inquired about the crab legs. Janell assured me they were great and in fact she had ordered some for herself and she would let me try some (What a Sweetie!). While enjoying our Great Service, Cocktails, We were enterained by a Fab Band "Tim O'Brian Band", (Great Jazz & Blues) not alone Great Personalities! (They even let well known Jazz /Blues Players set in and do sets with them from time to time!) ....By the Way, The All You Can Eat Wednesday Nite Crab Legs..that Janell let us try, We later ordered & ate to our hearts content all nite!!! Mmmmmm Mmmmmmm Good!
We will be telling all our friends about this great place!!!
- Pros: Everything Supurb! Bartender, Wait Staff, Crab Legs, Portions, & Ah Yes the Tim O'brian Band!!
- Cons: If you crabby and cranky for just about any reason don't go there because you wont have any fun!

Be careful what you order!!!

I came into the Fridley Crab House for the first time this past weekend and sat at the bar and ordered a drink, when I overheard what appeared to be a couple of regulars talking to the bar tender about opening a fresh bottle of Jack Daniels,which I thought was odd, since there was a full one behind the bar. That was untill I tasted my drink! It did not taste right so I thought, I'l try the same thing. The problem was is when the bar tender went to get a new bottle, I noticed that the seal was already broken on the bottle?? Whats that all about??? I realize that happy hour only charges $2/drink but you should get what your actually buying!!! I'd rather pay $5/drink at a dirty strip joint, (although the Crab House isnt much differen than one!!), but at least you know that you get what you"re paying for!!!
- Pros: Cheap drinks
- Cons: Cheap drinks

Happy Hour
by JamieinMn at Citysearch
I would recommend it for Happy Hours great value! There's a choice of some great appetizers to go along with your drinks. It gets really busy, but is a good deal. The bathrooms need some work, though.
- Pros: Inexpensive appetizers and drinks during happy hour
- Cons: bathrooms

AVOID...At all costs!!!

We went to the podium the staff started yelling to us that the brunch was over. (Which we didn't come for anyway!!) They say they ran out of food it was so busy. So we sat at a table near the cobweb covered window. Got our drinks then ordered Coconut Shrimp appetizer.....BAD!!! If you could get it off the huge skewer maybe OK then. We ordered our food Steak and shrimp and 2 kids meals, she comes back 20 minutes later and says our cook just told me they are out of the kids meals. So I tell her they liked the breadsticks could we get more of those (they got 2 originally), so she brought me 2 again( GREAT<)!! My husband commented about the cold food to me, I commented about the fatty New York Strip Steak. We both left pretty much all of our food. She did bring out fried adult shrimp (not the popcorn size) for the kids since they didn't have meals and fries. When we got our bill all of the prices were overcharged almost everything we bought had a $1 or $2 added onto it, we also had a happenings book coupon. Asked about the overcharging she took $4 off......we wish we would have just went to Applebees down the street!!! The fat owner just sat on his a$$ in dining counting money and his nasty kids ran around in pajamas.....GREAT PLACE!!!!
- Pros: The waitress was nice I felt sorry for her!!!!
- Cons: Don't use the bathrooms and be careful for the broken glass!!!!

Food and Service Bites but if your luck so do the local skanks and the waitresses....LIterally!!!
by SirLickAlot at Citysearch
One can't say enough about the crabhouse... mismanaged, unclean, terrible food, drunken waitresses, and of course the full spectrum of alcohol pickled oldtimers, local drunks, and the proverbial homies that shows up for the super skanky slutts...
But all in all... if you like cheap food, cheap drinks, and cheap women this is your place...
Also,, try the back patio... between the local sluts and the drunken waitstaff your bound to get lucky or at least a case of "the crabs"
- Pros: Wiatress that go the extra mile to make sure you are satisfied
- Cons: to many homies
