The Saucy Crab - Tinley Park

I usually come here for lunch and I really enjoy the atmosphere and music. I’m always seated right away, but the service can be a bit slow and not very attentive, though everyone is friendly. It takes some time for alcoholic beverages to be served; my glass of wine arrived after my salad. This time, the crab cakes were a bit overcooked, and we had to wait a while for the server to return and ask for our salad dressing and crab leg cracker. Overall, we do enjoy the food.

Terrible experience. This place has really gone downhill. Previously known as Juicy Crab, this restaurant was once a great spot for food and service. Sadly, things have deteriorated. I ordered the catfish basket, and it was truly disappointing—definitely not catfish. The fish tasted old and low-quality. When I informed the waitress and staff about the issue, they simply offered a lackluster “sorry you didn’t enjoy it.” I won't be returning to this location again.

I usually don't write reviews, but this place was truly disappointing. Our waitress was friendly, which was the only positive aspect of the experience. However, the food was underwhelming. It was overpriced, and honestly, the crispy chicken sandwich from Wendy's tastes and looks better than the Cajun chicken I received in my po' boy sandwich. The fries weren't Cajun either, and the chicken certainly didn't have any Cajun flavor. The gumbo was just sausage and had a strange taste – no seafood at all. I'd honestly prefer fast food over dining here.

I like the design and atmosphere in this place, friendly service, and reasonable prices. My fish sandwich was good, but the fish only comes breaded and deep fried, which is not my preference. The sweet potato fries were excellent. The food presentation was very good. It's just too much deep fried food for me, which caused me a heartburn later.... Probably next time I will try some of the boils. Overall it was a good experience!

I had some trepidation at first because upon arrival, there were no other patrons in the restaurant. I asked if I could walk around the establishment and the hostess politely honored my request. After liking what I saw, I asked to be seated. What happened thereafter became a magical time of eating and reminiscing. The menu is vast. The restaurant has a southern seafood ambiance and theme to it. My servers name is Jonny. Should you ever visit the locale, as for him. I ordered a shrimp basket w/catfish(separate), onion rings and a side shrimp fried rice. After having ordered, I noticed the old school R&B playing throughout the restaurant. I was immediately catapulted to my collegiate years. The tunes being played, caused a rush of truly fond, memorable moments and people. The food arrived and I wasn’t disappointed. The seafood was well flavored. I could taste the shrimp and catfish: none were so drenched in seasoning that you couldn’t taste the actual seafood. Both the shrimp and catfish were well breaded and beautifully fried. My order of onion rings was delicious. I was hoping they’d not be over fried. They were cooked to perfection. The shrimp fried rice, which I feared I might not like, was good. It didn’t look like your conventional shrimp friend rice. The shrimp were fresh, the entire sauce we well flavored. I’d buy it again. Didn’t order ant speciality drinks, though they do offer them. For me, I had a cold glass of iced sweet tea. The beverage was good: had four glasses. The restaurant was clean. IT’s restroom was clean: I always check restaurant to give me a sense of the cleanliness. Tables were comfortable. This isn’t a fancy dig so don’t expect that. It’s a quaint place to eat southern style seafood. Would I return? Yes. Now I’m ready to dive into its menus to see just how good the food truly is. By the way, there is a great deal of patio seating(which should be a bonus during the warmer months)and the Sports Bar is rather spacious. My only reason for not giving them a 5 star is that I wasn’t as comfortable trying more of the menu.
