We had an okay meal at The Crab House. My husband's meal was wonderful but mine was barely edible. In retrospect I probably should have sent it back, but I was full before it arrived and just didn't feel like dealing with it. We had the Entertainment Plus 2 for 1 card but the waiter also offered us a 10%... more

We were underwhelmed. The food was good and you got a lot of it but it was lacking something. Not sure. We probably will not go back. more

We had the Calamare which was pretty good, crab house chowder which tasted a little blan, main course was pasta linguini with seafood was pretty good and a seafood paella which wasn't that great, 1 sol beer and 1 pina colada. The bill came out... more

The place is expensive compared to some of the local fair. The food was tasty, but later that evening we got ill. May have been from some other place or food, we don't know, but we won't go back if we visit Cancun again. more

The food was good, but not spectacular. It was definitely for tourist, and therefore it was pricey, especially the drinks. The view on the patio was nice and the service was great. Actually the portions were large...the seafood combo for 2 was very filling. more

We were looking forward to eating great seafood at this restaurant, especially the crabs. However, besides the appetizers, the food was just average. The restaurant is in a nice setting, and the service was good. We got the shrimp cocktail and calamari as our appetizers, which were terrific! The shrimp cocktail was great and came in large portions and the... more

The never frozen crab claws had something happen to them, my guess would be that they had been frozen. We had them for appetizers and they were aweful. I had the spicy crab soup which was inedible. I had the house specialty ensalada crab house. I don't believe there was any dressing on it. i didn't know lettuce could taste... more

Ate here while in cancun and can't say i was impressed. i got the surf and turf which was okay but nothing special. There wasnt anything wrong with the food but with so many other better restaurants in cancun i won't go back to this one. It's also just as expensive, if not more so, than better places more
