We were greeted when we arrived, which is really important to me. We were seated quickly and waited for four more to join our party. We ordered some really tasty and creative Halloween themed drinks while we waited. We were served our drinks quickly. When the remainder of our party arrived we ordered our various seafood combo with a choice of different seasoning. I ordered shrimps, clams, mussels, red potatoes, and vegetables with garlic sauce steamed in a bag. When I opened the bag I could taste the aroma. Have you ever deeply inhaled a scent that you could actually taste it in your mouth? Yep (breathe in), that was definitely it. Everything tasted well seasoned to my requests, the clams were small but juicy and tender. The shrimps were huge and tender. I love steamed vegetables and these were also tender, not overcooked. I will order crab legs when we comeback. Great vibes, this is my BFF's go-to seafood spot, and I definitely understand why. Great visit.
Wonderful food and service. Took my family and grandkids, a little pricey but the service was great.
I want to say we go to the The Twisted Crab often and last night I had my family along with my grandson and I just want to say Graylon our waiter was on point. Never had we had him before and I will request him every time I go now. There was 6 of us , never did we have to ask for refills, napkins, or anything he was on point. His personality was amazing and so was the food. Speaking of the food, it was fresh , the crab legs were large and easy to crack which tells me not overcooked. I am a business owner myself and believe when people do good they should let it be known. Graylon thank you for everything!!
Think I popped in at the right time. It's rare to catch them on a Saturday not super super busy. Had their menu combo T1 that included 1/2 lb of snow crab legs (1 cluster), 1/2 lb shrimp and 1/2 lb of sausage with 2 potatoes and 2 pies of corn on the cob. I like my seafood with a tad bit of smoke so had the seasoning of Cajjn with Hot for spicy level. My husband had a 1 lb shrimp with Cajun and mild seasoning. John was our sever and bartender and man that drink was delicious "pineapple something," fruit with just the right punch of spirits. It was a steady flow of customers of various ages here. Not super loud so the ambiance was very personal and the servers were attentive without being overbearing. Twisted Crab is located at the front entrance of Greenbrier mall so you will have to compete for close parking but there is an abundance available to shoppers and restaurant guests. Believe our meal was like $70-ish but that's with 2 alcoholic nice beverages. 1 Pepi, 1 Almer Palmer and 2 entrees. I was happy to stop in yesterday and plan to comeback soon. Side note: Sorry I missed breakfast yesterday so I didn't get any pics of the food because I attacked it like a rabid animal...next time
My husband and I walked here after attending a play at the Well's Theater. It was our first visit. The service was fast, friendly, and effecient. My husband got fried fish and french fries. The fish was delicious and the fries were amazing. I ordered a shrimp boil bag with broccoli added. The broccoli really absorbed the flavors. I wasn't thrilled about picking out the shrimp and peeling them myself, but I guess that's how it works. The cost was very reasonable. We are definitely going back.
