One word to sum up my WHOLE 1st time experience at the Laughing Crab, "Yummy!". Stopped in to get a few drinks and try their Crab, Shrimp and Sausage Boils. Their Mild All Seasoning had me craving more. Tried their Cocktails: Sex on the Beach,...Read More

Located on the outside of Broadway Square Mall. They have plenty of parking. The waiter was very polite and helpful. He even had the cook remake some of the orders because he said it didn’t look right. The fried catfish and shrimp are very delicious....Read More

Wonderful seafood place. Would definitely go back. We did the Cajun mild seasoning on a boil with shrimp, mussels, corn, sausage, potatoes, king crab, and crawfish. The seasoning was great, not too spicy. Very filling. There were two of us and we couldn’t finish it....Read More

Dine inLunch$10–20Atmosphere: 5ShrimpWould not recommendNot sureIt's a seafood restaurant! A vegan or vegetarian catching lunch at a seafood restaurant is like a computer geek setting up Ethernet for an Amish community. It just doesn't make sense!Eat seafood. It's good for any diet! Try the shrimp; they're delicious!Somewhat difficult to find parkingFree parking lotIt's a shopping mall. You may need to drive around the parking lot to find a space, but it's there. Keep looking.Kids are messy. Seafood boils are messy. You can't lose! But please don't make such a mess that your waitress and busser need snow shovels to clean it up, thanks.Ground floor, no stairs, no gravel, no mud...yes, it's wheelchair-friendly. You may need someone to get the entrance door for you, but that's it for the bad news.

Date night and we wanted to try something different. All I can say is wow! We had raw oysters as an appetizer, and they came out ready with Tabasco, horseradish, lemon and crackers. Then we split the shrimp, crab legs and crawfish boil. Again, wow!!...Read More
