Red Crab in Houston

Went yesterday for the very first time, since I was fresh off of work and they are a few miles away from my house. I'm huge on seafood and always looking for somewhere with great flavor. I don't even bother to discuss the service upon entry, but my waitress made up for that throughout my visit. I ordered a half pound of crawfish, green mussels and crab. They brought out black mussels, but that was fixed quickly. A little too quickly, and some of the green mussels were definitely slimey and extra fishy. The sauce I ordered was juicy special, medium. The sauce is very watery and the owner told my waitress there is nothing that can be done, that's just the way it is. The crawfish are just plain disgusting. They're using frozen crawfish, and they should've let me know prior to bringing it out. Nasty. The crab were over cooked. They sticked to the side of the crab. Overall, terrible experience. Will not be going back. Oh and I had their strawberry margarita. Suppose to be their strongest drink. Don't order this drink, barely any alcohol. The waitress was nice.

I never review a restaurant after only one visit. I must make a exception for this clueless establishment. The food was the worst we have ever been served in a Houston restaurant. The "chef" does not know how to cook. Don't mean to be harsh ... it's just true. We started with 2 appetizers. 1) fried calamari / it was like trying to eat rubber bands. Tough. I think it was pre- battered frozen. The breading fell off when touched and so tough it could not be chewed. 2) bowl of crab bisque/  maybe it was from a can, don't know, but color and flavor was just bad, and a very sweet after taste. ( needless to say no crab) Our entrees were/ 1) fried catfish poorboy. The fish fillet was like pre-breaded frozen store bought fillets, and fried in super hot oil quickly. Giving a crispy outside and total raw middle. ( I requested well done fish). First time I have been served catfish sushi! Not good! They squirted a weird mayonnaise base orange colored sauce on fis...

As we were driving, we saw a billboard for Red Crab. We decided to take a chance and try it out. OMG! The food was delicious; everything within the broils from the corn, potato, sausage, snow crab, shrimp and the "juicy special" medium sauce was BOMB. This place did not disappoint! Very clean and great customer service. We will be returning on a regular basis.
