Was looking for a crabby patty, but they said they were all out, I may have been confused. I thought this was the crusty crab, which is definitely my favorite restaurant. But the food none the less was well super de duper!!

Went to the krunchy krab and I'm pretty sure Mr crabs stole my wallet while I went to the bathroom, but I ate his family so I understand.

A friend told us to try Krunchy Krab if we are around I-4 and US-98 in Lakeland. It is well known for Cajon/Creole Blue Crabs and Snow Crab legs. This is strictly a take-out place inside a residential area facing a park near Martin L King Blvd. You can wait for your order sitting in your car or sit by the pink bench in front of building! Friend ordered #4 Snow Crab legs with one cluster, 12 shrimps, 12 mussels, 6 beef sausages, 4 potatoes and 2 corns. I opted for a simple menu with #16 with 12 shrimps, 12 beef sausages, 2 potatoes and 2 corns. The #4 Snow Crab legs was huge and enough for 2 persons! As we are driving back, you can smell the mouthwatering flavor from the seafood! Both dishes were soaked with light spicy sauce in garlic butter. The sweet juicy corns were delicious, and the potatoes immersed with spicy garlic butter sauce were outstanding. Of course, they have crawfish, lobster tails at very reasonable price! The staff and owner are super friendly. A+ place for Cajan/Creole seafood. We had a wonderful experience with Krunchy Krab and be warned that it may be habit forming.

Can I get these guys 6, 7 or 8 stars!? This place is the best place to get seafood (mostly shellfish) in Lakeland... and I've been searching for 3 years! This is a carry out location, so they'll make you lunch or dinner so you don't have to worry about dirtying your stove! (However, I highly suggest some news paper and lots of paper towels so you can get in there and really enjoy this treat!) The portions are generous and the seafood is FRESH at this family owned hole in the wall treasure!!! We were trying to figure out where to get some seafood for Ash Wednesday after a long day of work, so we finally ordered from Krunchy Krab, and my only regret is not coming here sooner! It's a takeout only place, but the food comes out piping hot so you can head home to enjoy fresh! Bonus points on the preparation! The shrimp were despined & had no heads! The green lip muscles were opened and served on a half shell. My mom hasn't stopped talking about the corn... she even stole my dad's!!! The snow crabs are meaty and tender, cooked to perfection. The potatoes soak up their glorious, slightly spicy sauce! It's flavorful more than "spicy," so most pallets will love! On top of all the yummy food, the service was fantastic too! You can tell that this is a locally owned business that's a part of the Lakeland community. A+ for nights you want amazing seafood without any of the work! Orders can be small for a few people or huge for a party. I'll be back... a lot! See you there soon!!!

Our second to third trip here and we will always be back for more. The food is always fresh and cooked perfectly, with the amount of spice you ask for. The prices are actually pretty good for seafood. We always get the snow crab and shrimp and sausages and corn and potatoes meals. I recommend calling ahead and picking up. There is no place to eat and barely space to park around it. Once you go up to the window to pay the gentleman (owner I assume as he has been there every time) tells you to wait in your car and they bring it out to you. He always offers drinks or some creation for us to nibble on while we wait (we also always order a ridiculous amount of food there). The lemon pepper fries we got this time were delicious. We would recommend this to anyone. Definitely don't judge a book by its cover here and enjoy!

Earlier today I called Krunchy Krab to place a to go pick up order at lunch for the #4 Snow Crab. I arrived about 20 minutes later and my order was ready as soon as I arrived. My ride home was filled with mouthwatering spice filled aromas and I was eager to get home to enjoy my lunch. I was not disappointed. The #4 Snow Crab included 2 crab clusters, 12 shrimp, 12 mussels, 6 sausages, 4 potatoes, and 2 corn. This was enough food for two people. All the food was covered in a flavorful and lightly spicy sauce which paired perfectly with the tender crab, shrimp and mussels, the savory potatoes which soaked up all the sauce, the juicy corn, and the flavorful meaty sausage. Overall, Krunchy Krab is a great place for flavorful seafood.
