What diners say — our read

Service dominates the conversation here — it comes up in 67% of the 18 reviews. Service tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.5 stars.

If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (12 reviews). One subject never comes up here: how clean the place looks. 16 of 18 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 2 are two or lower.

The inspection lands in between as well: DBPR graded this kitchen a B (87/100), citing 1 high-priority, 1 intermediate, and 2 basic violations. DBPR last walked in on December 29, 2025. Its inspection trajectory is upward over the records we hold. On health score it sits safer than 34% of the Orange County restaurants we grade. The citations behind that grade include handwash sinks accessible and insects/rodents/pests.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The individual reviews are below, newest first, if you want the raw material.

    Was a great experience enjoyed everything after leaving Disney.

  • June 28, 2026

    We enjoyed our self, we tried a little of everything, from Clam chowder, hush puppies, crab boil, and fried fish the food was great, great vibe.

    The food here was amazing. The service was immaculate. The server name is Dollie and she checked up on us and make sure everything was OK. I definitely would recommend this place to someone who is a seafood lover. This place has a lot of different combos and it’s very cheap. It gives you the right amount of food to make you feel full and have a smile on your face. Come here come here Orlando, Florida.

    Food and service was wonderful. My husband enjoyed his father's day.

  • June 27, 2026

    As an out of town guest to the Orlando area, I can say we were a little skeptical of the area, but our server and food were so good. I’d likely recommend this place to anyone looking for a sea food boil and strong drinks. 8/10

    Fast service for take out and food was amazing

  • June 22, 2026

    The food was excellent. Kyrie the waitress gave excellent service. The whole staff was great also. Love this place its walking distance from my house.

  • June 21, 2026

    Seafood was amazing, service was 100% great, friendly, kind, and patient servers, honestly one of the best seafood places I’ve ate at for the first of me and my family being in Florida. I would most definitely come back when I visit again.

    I was really disappointed with this seafood boil. The food tasted like it was literally just dipped in oil with barely any seasoning or flavor. I ended up having to add my own seasoning at home just to make it edible. For the price, I expected much better. I’ve had seafood boils from other places, and honestly Spicy and Juicy Orlando is way better in terms of flavor and seasoning. Unfortunately, I won’t be coming back.

    I went when it was wasnt to busy but the food was really good it came out and seasoned well I had the combo A and added blue mussles

  • June 19, 2026

    After being told they didn’t seat incomplete parties at the restaurant, we told the hostess the rest of our party was 8 min away. The hostess then sat a party of 10 when only 5 people were present. After asking the hostess why we had to wait she said “well I can seat you now so do you want to sit or not?” We sat down and waited at the table without being greeted or taken any kind of order for 17 min. We then got our food before our waters were even given to us. The food was good tho. We were only checked on once while eating and had to track him down for our check.

    Loved our family experience at Mr. and Mrs. Crab! The food and service was above our expectations. Zania took care of our needs, explained the menu thoroughly, checked on us throughout service, and gave us an overall 10/10 experience! Will be recommending Mr. and Mrs. Crab and Zania to all who visit Orlando!

    Shannia Was A Wonderful Host Greeted Us And Helped Out Tremendously With The Menu On What Was The Best Options

  • May 29, 2026

    Kimora was my server and she was the sweetest to us, she was very attentive and accomodating. Definitely come to this location💛💛

  • May 25, 2026

    Waitress made the experience so enjoyable. Crab legs great taste and flavor. Calamari i do not recommend unless you ask for them not to be overcooked it. Taste was good but very rubbery. Would visit again.

  • May 17, 2026

    Look ya all... it was THIS BAD!!!

  • May 9, 2026

    Food was amazing but they were skimpy with the crabs. I highly doubt the crabs were weighed before serving.

  • May 9, 2026

    It’s now a vacation staple to come here! The seafood boils are always juicy, flavorful and delicious. The staff is really kind and the atmosphere is great. Drinks are strong but good. Come hereeeeee!
