Erin Bowerman: The food was delicious. The service was not great. The restaurant was pretty empty. We were seated and a few minutes later our drink order was taken. A few minutes later another party was seated and their order was taken before us. The server was wearing an air pod listening to her own thing. There were some maintenance things of the building that seemed like they could be taken care of.

The Saucy Crab: what do users think?
Lin Miller: Updated: permanently closed thank goodnessI've been dying to try this place since it opened. I love seafood. It's being a cajun place was just the icing on the cake. I miss the south and the french quarter and all the culture that goes into the lifestyle and food in the region.Tonight, we took the plunge and stopped in. The decor is beachy and bright and cheerful. I would imagine that would go better with a fish and chips place on the boardwalk in Myrtle Beach better than in Grand Rapids or a place portraying Cajun in Grand Rapids. I wasn't drawn into the Cajun/French Quarter jive that i expected. However, it was clean and tidy. That was the best and last good impression about The Saucy Crab.1. I've lived in Baton Rogue, LA and had awesome cajun food. The Saucy Crab is more like an upper crust Long John Silver's without the hushpuppies and paper hats on the cashiers. Every basket and dish is beer battered minus the 5 day old grease pit ooze. If you peeled off the dry battter, it almost passed for fish. You can get this same food in the freezer section at meijer in a box called "fish sticks". For the price, the corny paper lined plastic basket is cheap and tacky.2. This place is so culinarily ambiguous in that Cajun is spicy and sometimes lathered in ethnic and full bodied sauce. The Saucy Crab's dishes are dry and coated in deep-fried breading with no more taste than the bottom of a running shoe 3 years due to be tossed.3. Cajun implies french, southern, and lively with zest and gusto on the menu. The Saucy Crab is staffed by the farthest from Creoles than I can imagine.The service was piss-poor. We saw our server once and I couldn't understand a word he said. After paying the $60 bill for 2 breaded fish baskets and 2 shrimp/crab starters, we werushered out in total silence. The host at the front door gave us the cold shoulder without as much as a "thanks for coming" or "have a good night".I was disappointed to say the least.

Chris Kozak: Love the boil bags.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
J C: “Ooo pig sooiee” Spicy sauce was yummy & our server Crystal was so good at taking care of our table for us! She was the best! We really appreciate her good service🤗👍🏼We might go “insanely spicy” level next time since “spicy” wasn’t too spicy for us😁
Hannah Nguyen: This place has a Gnat and Fruit Fly problem. There is even a UV light plugged in right by the bar. I would assume paying well over $100 for a meal, there would be at least a few traps put out by the other tables. Our food was swarming with flies, and we even had to move tables.It was unpleasant and dirty all over the walls as well.Too bad… the food tasted decent but I would not go back.
Carey Holzman: This place has been here for years, yet I never see it have any customers. Reminds me of a chain called Angry Crab in Phoenix. When you walk in the door here, the smell of fryers in the kitchen is overwhelming. There must be really poor ventilation for a place this big to reek so heavily from the hidden kitchen in the back. The smell was soaked into my clothes and I had to walk around smelling like I just came off shift working the fryers.The staff was attentive and friendly. Prices are okay. Food arrived quickly. My fries were way over-cooked and appeared as translucent-brown, grease-soaked former-potatoes. The fried shrimp impressed me, as it was not greasy at all and the breading was well seasoned and, unlike the fries, was not over-cooked at all.There is a lack of proper crab tools. Apart from a cracker, there is no other poker, nor are the crab legs pre-cut. So you end up with a crab leg that just bends when you try to crack it and no poker to pull the meat out. I asked for scissors and they brought me some office scissors. I hope they were sterile. Either way, I used them and it helped to get the meat out from the crab legs that would not crack with the cracker (most of them.)The flavor was excellent but the lack of appropriate utensils combined with the cost and the fryer smell meant we didn't stick around. Once we had enough, we paid our bill and left and then my clothes had to go into the washing machine when we got home.The lack of staff/management not applying some extremely minor effort to ventilate the place and provide adequate utensils for the type of food they serve, combined with a little more pride in not letting over-cooked food get served to the customer suggests a "good enough' attitude is embraced.So close... so easily fixable.I'm from out of town, but visit the area annually and have no desire to return here to dine unless I hear from other reviewers these issues have been resolved.
Maralina DG: Service was wonderful although short staffed. Restaurant is a little out of date and there is a strong scent of the fryer. Seafood was good, messy and a little challenging trying to crack open some of the shells. The flavor and seasoning was well done.
Milkshaketurtle79: I don't get all of the hate in the other reviews. I got the Cajun crawfish to go and it was awesome. Tons of flavor, but not overwhelming. I don't know how the rest of the food tastes, but I know the crawfish was amazing, and the portions are great. You can get a lot for your money if you're ordering for multiple people.
JC Olson: My go to for seafood in GR. Food is always good, lots of choices for seafood and prices are good for what you order and amount.
Courtney: The food lacked any flavor, the restaurant was empty and half of it had the lights off. Our server seems unsure how to serve. The whole experience was poor to say the least. They need to do some work in all areas.
Kenneth Cyr: Just a great place to eat
Nicole Blackshire: You don't get anything for your money. You leave still hungry😪😠
Rachel Potter: Hubby and I split the Monday-Thursday Special with and add on of 1/2lb snow crab, one corn, and one potato. We got the Woo Pig Sooiee spice, medium level. I have to believe the people complaining of bland food got theirs with no spice. It was full of flavor and so delicious! We will definitely be back, but next time we won't add the crab as we ended up with more food than we could eat. Would definitely recommend if you are in the mood for a seafood boil.
Ben Vairet: Food was ok. The cleanliness of the bathroom is not. This bathroom has not been cleaned in several weeks or more. The security lights are falling apart.
kyle rottman: Delicious seafood experience
Barb Madura: The king crab will not disappoint
Irma Mrozovich: Awesome customer service, our server was on point! But it was over priced and literally I'm sure we were not served 1/2 of anything.
Lou Ann Rider: Loved it! Totally different dining experience! Your food comes out steamed in the bag so it's piping hot! You get to pick your sauce and seafoods! Lobster bibs for everyone. We'll definitely go again! Staff was excellent and definitely willing to help you with the menu
Derrick Riches: $39 for a meal, didnt get full. Friday night, only 1 other table...bathrooms are DISGUSTING! Food decent, expensive. You get a bib (nice), but a shell cracker and a plastic fork. How do you eat crab with a plastic fork? Not recommended.
Ryan Qiu: Amazing food!
Victoria Kerns: The guys were really hot, 10/10 would recommend.

Alison A: We visited last night for the first time and I would highly recommend! The hush puppies were delicious, shrimp toast was amazing. All of our entrees were great, good size portions as well. Fried chicken was the best I’ve had in GR. Our server was Donovan and he provided exceptional service, quick, attentive, friendly, etc. We will definitely be coming back. The only thing I would like to see improved is the cornbread is a little dry. Other than that, 5 stars all around.

T JB: Great food!
Alec Rase: Enjoyed a nice bottle of wine with my fiance, she loved the oysters. Every single barstool wobbled though and that's a pet peeve but besides the furniture needing some adjustments it's a great place.
Elizabeth Woodford: To be honest the main Entrees were good but the sides were lacking. It doesn't help that my husband makes a mean macaroni and cheese at home, we also garden our own collard greens and his recipe is legit. Personally, we make better sides at home. But we enjoyed the happy hour 5 dollar apps and the fresh Oysters the most! Service was great, we just wouldn't return for dinner
Gerardo Vargas Lopez: Buena ubicación, lugar tranquilo, comida con buen sabor y presentación, cumple con el cometido de su servicio...
Lisa Sutherland: Carolina's never disappoints! I brought my boyfriend who had never been before, and he was thrilled with the shrimp. He's had shrimp at restaurants on Florida's gulf coast, and said Carolina's were much better. I had the Chicken biscuit dinner and fried green tomatoes, and they were divine! Donovan was our server, and we couldn't have been more pleased. He was personable, attentive, and shared some history of the restaurant with us. Will go back again and again!
