The Hungry Crab - West Hartford

If I could give a lower score than 1 star I would. This place was terrible. Never in my life have I vomited before leaving a restaurant. I did today for the first time. The crab cake was oily and taste like week old grease. The fried scallops were even worse. The waiter kept mixing my husbands food with mine. They bring the food out in plastic bags like they are handing food to homeless people. You are better off fasting for the night then eating at this dump. Run the other way.

They took a while to take our order. I think they were short wait staff. The man at the bar was the same person doing our table order. After that, the food came out too quickly. Some of the bags tasted like it was sitting for a while and not fresh. It was still decent. The fried shrimp basket and the fish po boy were amazing! Loves the chowder but it was lukewarm once it came to me. Could of been a better experience but it was ok.

I love the atmosphere, it has the cape cod feel to it, great food, hot and fresh, great service, an overall great experience, but the only problem I have is that there's not much choices for lobster's, but I will definitely be returning to this location.Food: 5/5

Sat in the bar because there were no tables. We were ignored at bar and after 10 minutes we complained and they came to talk with the bartender. We ordered a 30$ lobster it did not taste fresh at all we also ordered the fried shrimp and fried oysters, again the oysters were not fresh tasting at all, shrimp was ok . We will not be returning

If I could give them zero stars I WOULD!!! I ordered a bag and forgot to ask for no sausage, the waiter came back and I let him know that I was a pescatarian and forgot to ask for no sausage and if I could get a new one. He said ok no problem, 10mins later he came back and said “new bag, no sausage”. I ate a couple pieces and then realized there was one sausage in there. I called him and explained there was a sausage after he informed me he gave me a new bag with no sausage. He immediately took the bag up and said “ok this is our mistake, you dnt pay”. My bf and I walked out and will never be back, if you’re a pescatarian I WOULD ADVICE YOU TO NOT EAT HERE!!! IF YOU ORDER SOMETHING AND FORGET TO SAY NO SAUSAGE OR DNT REALIZE IT HAS SAUSAGE AND YOU ASK FOR A NEW ONE THEY JUST PICK THE MEAT OUT AND GIVE YOU THE SAME BAG!!!
