| - Me and my friend decided to try this place due to a groupon, as we do with trying many new places. When arriving to Crab Zone, the first thing we noticed is it's hidden location in the back corner of the complex, surrounded by a Hispanic market and pharmacy. It appears incredibly out of place and struggling to find an identity. When we walked inside, we were greeted by a very nice younger lady who told us we could sit anywhere. There were booths and tables covered with white disposable table cloths, lcd TVs poorly placed around the room, a center stage for live music, and a large glass display that was completely empty and looked like it should have been filled with something.
We were the only ones there besides a security guard who was sitting alone at a booth. I ordered a fried shrimp and chicken basket which ended up costing 16 dollars and consisted of clearly frozen steak fries and chicken tenders. This was not on the menu since they had chicken or shrimp, and alone each was priced at 10 dollars. My friend ordered the snow crab at market price which was 24 bucks.
My food came out 10 minutes before hers along with buttered dinner rolls that were cold and over cooked. I asked for honey mustard which they did not have, but I was given a packet of ranch instead. She was given a spork, yes a plastic spork, with her crab legs. A gentleman who I assume was the owner stopped by to check on us briefly.
I finished my food and was sweating profusely due to the restraint being way too hot. I decided to use the restroom which Is where I found the most interesting item on the toilet paper dispenser. Sitting there, was a Bic pen with the inside portion removed with white residue around the end. I can assure you that this was most certainly some drug residue, so I took a picture as I couldn't believe what I saw.
Our total bill was 50 dollars and we received a non-itemized receipt that I had to confirm the total with the waitress.
Overall, this place was terrible. The food was sub par and the ambience was confusing and lacking any character. I can't imagine this place lasting more than a few months. Save your money and go somewhere like Joe's Crab Shack if you want good seafood.
