Best crab restaurants in Indianapolis: find options near you

The food was fantastic, however the service did leave a bit to be desired. Food was rather slow to arrive and took a long time to clear empty plates. That said, the manager was attentive and was quick to address the issues. We sat in the bar area and were impressed by the overall atmosphere of the restaurant.

The menu offered a large selection of apps and sides, and was reasonably priced for an upscale restaurant. The pot stickers and back wrapped bbq shrimp were both excellent. Steaks were well seasoned and cooked to perfection, though you could tell they sat for a bit before being brought to the table. The calamari was a bit undercooked and oysters had bits of shell in them, but overall the food was really good.

I would certainly recommend, great menu options and good food at reasonable prices for this type of establishment.

Our waitress, Toyosi, was amazing. She was kind, prompt and provided us a fantastic experience. If you’re able to request a waitress I would highly recommend her. Also, the food came out absolutely perfect. Our party of 11 didn’t have a single complaint!

The service was spectacular from start to finish. This was our first time visiting the restaurant and it had lovely decor. The bisque was delightful as was the hot buttery bread. Mashed potatoes were divine. I had the Faroe Island salmon which was a bit dry and lacking in flavor. My friend had the steak and loved it. Overall a great outing.

Stephen my waiter and Jess made my meal. They went above ad beyond to give me exceptional service. The trio medallions were excellent. The shrimp cocktail and wedge were delicious. The food, service was an extremely enjoyable experience. Both Jess and Stephen took time to explain the menu.

The food ess very good. The service is very friendly and always good. The manager comes by and checks on you. The place has good drink menu. If you are in a hurry, advise your server to fire you food at the same time as appetizers. Couple of the seats need repairs. Always enjoy my food from this location.

What a delicious, wonderful anniversary dinner! And our server, Steven, made the evening that much more special. From friendly conversation to prompt, exacting service, our celebration was complete! The grilled romaine salad was a favorite, but not better than the Bananas Foster!

Lamest White Russian ever. Devour Indy visit. Had upsized filet with crab bisque soup plus chocolate cake. Steak 100% edible no gristle and tender worth it. Soup so smooth and creamy flavorful. Cake portion huge and puts the meal carbs in overdrive. Decor a tad opulent gaudy and dated but likely catering not to yuppiedom when z eta but to senior deep picketers. Service strong but ended slightly down after $ paid with higher than usually requested print gratuity no direct eye contact which is telltale snub of the subtle sort. 4 not 5 stars not 100%. What could have been…

This evening was nostalgic, to say the least.
When we first moved to Indy, this was one of our favorite places to eat as a family.

Although it has been years, it was on the top of my daughter’s birthday dinner list !

And once again you all do not disappoint.

Decor is beautiful, calming & inviting.
There’s a nice variety of food.
I say no matter your taste palette there’s something for everyone !

Something could be a bit warmer, and possibly a monitor should be added in order to maintain your freshest &Warmest platers at all times.

Customer service is my bread and butter!
It always saddens me when I have a slightly poor experience. I can understand a long day
And frustration, the anxiety of the busy line ahead.

Just remember to breathe and smile.
I won’t go too much into detail but I can say my greeting could have been more pleasant.

Got another birthday this Libra season.
So journeys we shall, Meet again.

Clean tables, And SilverWare.

I had a great time The food was delicious we went on Friday and they had all you can eat crab legs!The service was outstanding.. sushi and fruit was on point,do check them out!

The place is nicely decorated and very clean. The service was good. Our waiter was very observant but not overbearing. He was very polite. The food was great, but we came early and were there for a while, and once the bar ran out of crab, they were not refilling it at all. But once again, my daughter found to be the best, so we will definitely come again. N it was definitely friendly to all.

I was looking for a restaurant for a Valentine’s Day date with my wife, and the thirty places I checked with to make reservations the day before were all booked. Fortunately for us, The Journey doesn’t take reservations. We arrived at 4:45. They begin seating for dinner at 5:00 and we were one of the first guests seated. It was good that we were there early because they quickly got busy. Our server, Emma, was friendly and checked on us often. Having her as our server definitely made our visit more enjoyable.

The buffet had a good variety of seafood options with several choices available, and everything I tasted was pretty good (though nothing was great).

The decor was a quirky combination of modern and retro, with some of the fixtures being very worn. The restaurant was cleanish; it probably could have been a little cleaner, but it wasn’t too bad.

Would I visit The Journey again? Probably not, but it was a good experience overall.

We visited The Journey Buffet for the first time. It was my oldest bday. The server made a cake for him topped with whipped cream & chocolate drizzle. Sang happy birthday to him. The buffet had a great selection of seafoods. For the younger kids they had a hard time finding some meat choices. This restaurant is geared towards the seafood side. Our kept on the plate removal. Never refilled out drinks. Very expensive to dine here.

Great place, food and price for buffet. Have plenty of variety of food. Worth it for the price.

I hate to use the word Horrible, but the service here is the worse!! I have never been at place where you have to give them the plates or keep asking for refills However, when they are ready for you to go the came to the table every 30 seconds asking for payment!!! I do not recommend this place and our family is done with this place. Last time we came here, the crab legs smelled like ammonia, and they acted like they did not smell anything. Consider your warning.

Spent my birthday here. From the food, server, drinks, and atmosphere were top-notch! The ribeye was cooked to perfection and the crab cake was wild! One of the best steakhouses Indy has to offer. Stephanie was the best server!

I’d never heard of Tony’s and was invited for a date. I arrived and was greeted and seated quickly while waiting for my date. The staff were all friendly and happy to explain their offerings. The atmosphere, food, and drinks were all excellent. Our server overheard us mentioning it was a first date and surprised us with a complimentary dessert and celebratory candle, which I thought was such a nice touch. I definitely plan to go back whenever I’m in town again.

Tony’s is a well-known and popular steakhouse in downtown Indianapolis. This spot serves up the best porterhouse cooked to absolute perfection. This spot prepares and grills the best and most mouthwatering cuts of beef. We ordered a side of horseradish au gratin potatoes as well as freshly grilled asparagus. Our table also enjoyed the Pasta Pescatore (seafood pasta), the greek salad, and the complimentary bread and butter.
Tony’s even offers fantastic live entertainment on the weekends. The service is wonderful and the atmosphere is sophisticated yet inviting. This was my first time visiting Tony’s of Indianapolis, but it definitely won’t be the last time!

A foodies review- We dined at Tony’s for my birthday. Everything was absolutely amazing from the food to the service. We started with the crab cake, oysters (meaty, briney, absolutely delicious), and calamari. Crab cake was out of this world! The Chilean Seabass was beautifully plated and the flavors nicely balanced. Steaks were cooked to perfection. The serving sizes are large and you really feel like you’re getting your moneys worth. Overall 10/10!!!

We celebrated our anniversary here. The food was delicious, well I didn’t care for the Tony pasta it was too meaty. Other than that it was our first time and we had the best server. I think her name was Stephanie. Can’t wait to return.

A wonderful place for steak! I tried the Jack’s dry Aged New York strip, and it was cooked to perfection. The complimentary dessert for my birthday was a delightful touch. The ambiance inside felt very cozy, and the customer service was excellent.

This place had been recommended so many times, however I never had a chance to visit this place.
The moment I entered, I was greeted with smile on her face. I told, I have a reservation. They gave me very good table. The ambinace is just amazing.
They have a good selection of wines and I had asked for specific one and I had mentioned in my reservation.
The steak is just amazing, I tried NY Strip steak, medium rare, it was just perfect.
I will surely return.

So we got a craving for a boil. We googled the top 3 locations. We selected based on travel length for location, and Yummy was the closest. We was greeted and seated without a wait even though we arrived at what I would consider mid dinner, but was pleasantly surprised to find the place nice and quiet. Video will show this.
Server came after we sat and our drinks arrived moments after. Having already studied the menu prior to arrival, we was ready. Appetizers orders and our entrees selected we ordered all st once. Toss a rack of King crab legs in that boil while you’re at it., they did.
Barely halfway thru my first drink, the appetizers arrive steaming. Catfish I mean was delicious. Without time to finish, which if they was eyeing us closer would have timed the arrival of our next placement, after the removal of our empty appetizer dishes. But the server was pleasant so that was easily overlooked.
Popping the boil open and the aroma that followed took me into the deep south. I dug in. Being cooked in the same Sauces, Everly item had it’s unique flavor. This was completed a very enjoyful weekend. I can see us returning which we will see if we can elevate this rating to a higher level. Thank you.

Decided to give ‘Yummy Crab’ a try and was not disappointed. The service was good, the food was good, the prices were good, good portions of food for the price as well. We started with some very good ‘Cheese sticks & Hush puppies’, I had the ‘Cat fish & cajun fries’ and the wife had the ‘Shrimp basket’. Easy menu with up-front prices make a first time experience a breeze. We will definitely be back.

It was not the best food for me , I had one of the daily specials. The food was good but the sauce was watery , so that made the food not tasty. Good sauce make good food. Service was great!

The food was good. The workers were very friendly. The food was averagely priced. And there was plenty of parking. The atmosphere was pretty laid-back. They were singing happy birthday to a little girl while we were there. The Happy Birthday song what’s playing over the intercom it was so cute.

Wife loved the food. The young lady at the register that took our order was nice..

Service was horrible! Our add on came at the end of our meal. The server never came back to check on us, but was sitting on her phone at another table. Food was bland, the worst seafood place I have ever been.

The Shaking Crab is the other half of Wings Mania: two restaurants for the price of one!
They share a cash register, kitchen and menu but have two separate signs and entrances. An interesting business model

The seafood boil is popular and reasonably priced. There was a steady stream of customers. The atmosphere was very plain and simple, no music, no WiFi, not very adequate air conditioning but it does the trick for a seafood boil.

A lot of the customers seem to be returning regulars, always a good sign!

Pro Tip
They have a variety of smoothies and they are quite good. The avocado smoothie is my personal favourite but the mango is quite good too.

I’ve read the reviews, and everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. Mine is: ITS GREAT! I’ve eaten here several times, always TO GO, and its always good! Had it for dinner tonight, and it was GREAT! I had 1/2 lb Clams, 1/2 lb Mussels, 1/2 lb Scallops. Came with corn and Potatoes. Yes, the potatoes were larger than you would expect in a boil, but so what?!? The were still cook to perfection and tasty! Will continue to go back!!! Sorry, didn’t get a before pic, was to concerned with DIGGIN IT! LOL! 🙂 Also, I got the Shaking Sauce, Medium…. SOOO GOOD!!!

Not very fancy, however the BEST spicy head-on shrimp I have had in years ! And I travel a lot and only found equivalent in Atlanta & Orlando. Plus I normally don’t go for frozen corn but theirs was actually good.

So if you going to the shaking crab the entrance and the service is next door at wings… I’m not sure if it’s become because I came on weekday or if it’s because the Crab side is closed. Anyway it was very fast and very clean and very good! I got a pound of blue crab plus half a pound of clams plus half a pound of crawfish! It’s a typical boil it comes with pieces of corn and a few potatoes in the sauce you want. I chose spicy hot Cajun! And it was the bomb!

Cost is very fair! 27$ for all this amazing.
Bathroom is clean. Lots of to go traffic in but I can’t imagine taking a seafood boil to go what a mess! Bring wipes! Soooo good only one thing I’m missing. My sweetheart honey bear.

I gave the Shaking Crab 5 stars because I rated it based on its category. If I rated against a Red Lobster type of restaurant, it would only get 3 stars. But you automatically know when you decide to go, it’s not going to be a Red Lobster experience. So it’s not fair to rate it that way.

This was an amazing experience for a small retail restaurant. The food was very flavorful and, in my opinion, appropriately priced. I can’t wait to go back.

So I did enjoy the food for the most part. Until it got salty salty. The customer service just wasn’t there for me. Use lower sodium seasonings. I got the boil with crab legs shrimp and extra potatoes. The extra potatoes i received were bigger then the ones I had included. The customer service experience could of been slightly better. I had the 3 blend seasoning.

When I order the food I pick it up 30 minutes later and it is never ready. I ordered snow crab and shrimp. All three seasonings hot. The seasoning taste extremely hot and I couldn’t taste the other flavors. The crablegs were overcooked and mushy. They gave me one overly huge potato that was so big it look like it was on steroids. I’m not eating no potato that is the same size of a Cantaloupe. Ridiculous. I don’t think I’m going back.
