Fantastic NOLA cuisine! Great specials. Authentic flavors. Epic onion rings! Would eat here more than once a week! Fabulous, happy servers who behave like they are ecstatic that you walked through the door.... kind of like CHEERS.

Delicious food. Prices are a little steep but the portions are reasonable. If you like Razoos, this has a similar atmosphere and food quality. Our wait time for the food to be delivered was excessive and, although it was pretty busy, it seemed to be just our table experiencing this difficulty. All in all, I’d consider going back but not anytime soon.

Service started out well. We were sat down and our drinks and order was taken. Then our waitress said she had to take a break and said the bartender would be taking care of us. We never got service after that. I had to walk over to the counter on 3 different occasions to request for something. My food wasn't all that great either, the margarita tasted like a mimosas and I asked for very low spice #1 and my food was too spicy it was like a #5!

We have dined in and done take out. Both are very good. The staff inside are very nice and its an open atmosphere. The boils come in big bags with whatever sauce you pick. We normally get Dungeness and King crag legs with clams, mussels, shrimp, and sausage. My only warning would be places like this are not cheap. Be ready to spend a little money on good seafood.

DELICIOUS! I’m pretty picky when it comes to seafood boils. You have to get many things correct in order for it to be yummy, and Smashin’ Crab has it down.
We got the combo with 3 lbs of crab legs, 1 lbs of shrimp, with potatoes and corn seasoned with the Trinity flavor. A margarita flight came with the combo at no extra charge.
Everything was cooked to perfection. The crab legs cracked perfectly and the meat was not adhering to the inside of the shell. The head-on shrimp were easy to peel and plump in size. The red potatoes and corn soaked up the Trinity seasoning flavor and were tender.
It was nice to sip on the different margarita flavors: original, mango, prickly pear, and strawberry. The mango and strawberry were my favorite. They had a refreshing fruit taste with the kick of tequila. It’s always a good thing when you can taste the tequila!
Overall, our experience was great because of our waitress. She guided us through the menu, provided us the prices to build our own boil, and was attentive and available to answer any questions we had.
I definitely will eat here again. If you love seafood and Cajun seasoning, this is the place to eat at!

Crab and smash it, oh yeah, such a nice feeling for crab lovers. This place is traditional, laidback and electric. Nice place to have friends and families together for lunch or dinner, birthday, graduation or anniversary. I enjoyed my bowl of alligator while my friends dealt with every piece of the crab. Although a bit loud inside but the warmth and liveliness it brings is one I can’t trade.
Take a look at the menu and find something you like, you will definitely love it. You’re wondering why they didn’t get a 5-star, ???? tables weren’t spaced out from each other.

I've been looking for a GOOD seafood restaurant like this, and a friend told me about it and I wasn't disappointed. Never heard of the place before I went Sunday and it was awesome. Prices weren't ridiculous for what I got either. Best kept secret I've found in a long time. Allyson was the sweetest server too. I can't wait to go back. Only small issue was my clams and mussels weren't steamed quite enough as several weren't open.

Smashin Crab is an excellent restaurant! All the seafood tastes fresh and delicious! Definitely try the gumbo and jambalaya as it's top notch, and the crab boils are the best!

Immediately seated. Nice, clean resturant. Casual atmosphere. Food and service were excellent! Would like to give a big Shout-Out to our server, Julian. He was very attentive and helpful with recommendations on the menu.
Louisiana Cajun cuisine that you would be hard pressed to find in other restaurants in San Antonio.
It was a great dining experience and I will be back to try other menu items.
Thanks SC and the great food and service. Well done!
