"we were around lapu-lapu and craving seafood, especially crabs and sinuglaw, and thankfully mr. crabs did not disappoint! at the entrance, they have a display of fresh seafood like crabs and lobsters—it’s basically a mini seafood market. you can either pick from the menu or choose directly from the fresh display, which makes the experience even more fun. this was my second time here, but my first visit with my husband. i have to say, their food is consistently delicious—honestly, every dish we tried was amazing! big thanks again to mr. crabs for satisfying my cravings. the waiters were also super friendly and accommodating, which made the whole dining experience even better. definitely a seafood spot worth coming back to!"

"They really went beyond my expectations. We had ordered an XL size crab platter worth 3200! It was really delicious and exquisite place to dine in. I super love everything apart from how they handled the food. I was aiming that they were be more hasty when it comes to their service."

"The place is facing the sea, unfortunately the little bay facing the restaurant is loaded of rubbish floating. We ordered 6 big crabs butter and garlic. They was very nice. How can a place crab oriented not have the tools to clean the crabs. We after our lunch with the waiters sleeping on a table under the fan, not a good view for the customers. After that there was a problem with the water in the toilets and I had to was my hands with water from a bucket. What can I say this place could have been a Tenten but unfortunately the owners ar not investing on the place. I wanted to smoke a sigaret and even if the place is open I had to go on the entrance stairs. A very long way to clean the crabs."

"The seafood we ordered here is so delicious. The authentic flavors you can’t just forget. Place is cozy but apparent trash/garbages were seen on the sea floor that would make the place less appealing. Hoping they will get rid of that. Recommended for large groups gathering."

"The seafood was fresh, the sauce was good enough, though I found the pricing a little on the high side. They also made a mistake with the crabs– we ordered medium but served us large."

"1st time eating at this branch. Service was a bit slow at first but we were seated far from everyone(our request so we could get comfy eating the crabs) but overall 10/10. Crabs was great scallops is amazing and the calamares hits the spot."
