  Found another place that serves awesome seafood boils and dishes. This restaurant resides in the west side part of Jacksonville. Inside and outside of this place, the restaurant boast a nicely themed ocean vibe design and style. Nice looking Bar. Place looks clean and the aroma just screams seafood galore. We were greeted and seated promptly.
  
  Now on to the food.....
  
  Lobster Tail, Shrimps, Snow Crab Boil (5/5): This is one of their weekend Boils Specials. I chose the BOOM seasoning which is a mixture of all 3 of the restaurant's signature seasonings. Spice level, I chose Mild. I would have opted for Fire (very spicy) but I happened to be sharing my order. Taste wise, it was definitely a boom, all of the flavors just married well onto another. What a home run hit of flavor.
  
  Shrimp Boil (5/5): Same as previous boil, the flavors and taste of this boil was well rounded.
  
  The downside of their Seafood Boil ordering is you don't have the option to pick up to 2 choices, only 1. I was hoping to have that second pick option as I like trying 2 seafood items instead of just having one. Additionally, it's a bit on the pricier side. Not an overall deal breaker because the food was delicious.
  
  All in all, we had a great experience at Crafty Crab. Service was great; fast, friendly staff. Great tasting food. What more can you ask for?

  This week's health report listed this location twice!  Two days straight there were 9 live roaches, dozens of dead roaches, 45 live flies and just as many dead!  D-scusting.
  
  Among the many many other violations.  Eat at own risk.

  A bit on the expensive side, unless one turns to the back page of the menu.
  
  The FRESH shrimp, cheese sticks, fries and onion rings are delish!  They ran out of flan, but the cheese cake is rich.  Over all the food is very good.
  
  My tea glass didn't stay empty for long, great service.  
  
  Our paper table cloth was stained, but overall the restaurant is clean.
  
  There is a full bar, whose patrons were enjoying themselves.  There are also several televisions, three over the bar alone.
  
  They are located across from the Wall-Mart parking lot, so there is ample parking.  
  
  Great place for dates ;-) and sports nights.  Enjoy my friends.

  Tonight was my first time here and the food was great. Super fresh and a lot for your money. They also have really good deals. My server Taylor made the experience though! He was hilarious and super helpful and attentive. When I come back I'm definitely asking for him every time!
