The Crab Barrack - Birmingham

This place was a solid option. Went here to get some crab legs because the preferred option wasn't open and this didn't disappoint. The special was 1/2 pound of crab legs and 1/2 pound of headless shrimp with potatoes, corn, boiled eggs and sausage. Also got it with the special seasoning which is everything mixed together. It was cooked very well and the spice was good too. Maybe had a little too much cayenne but still good. Will definitely go back.

The Crab Barrack is very close to my work. I have not had the opportunity to go inside until today. I was greeted by two very courteous women behind the bar. Not only were they genuinely nice, they were also helpful and knowledgeable about their place of employment. I was there for business so I was not able to order to eat any of the food, but the bar was very clean as well as the restaurant. On my way out, I asked her for a To- go menu. The one thing that I really wanted to eat were crab claws. Unfortunately, I did not see them on the menu.

This place was definitely a surprise! Okay the important thing is that if you are wanting some good sea food that’s not over the top expensive! This is the place you want to go. Our first time was a good experience, we ordered fried fish, fried cat fish, and fried tilapia we got fries and fried okra. Yes, that was allot of friend food, everything came out super hot and fresh but WAY TOO greasy for our liking. HOWEVER it was good very tasty, would we come back to this place? Most definitely! Definitely order something different but the food is definitely fresh and tasty! One thing they could change would be the music, definitely too loud.

Make it a point to eat here if you really appreciate seafood, really cozy place and they know how to treat you!!

My husband and I are from Colorado. We are here in Alabama visiting my family. We had the best dining experience at The Crab Barrack. The food was delicious, we had snow crab, king crab, Dungeness crab, crawfish, lobster, head on shrimp, and clams. The atmosphere was great. They played all the good jams. Our server, J.O., was phenomenal. He was new and on one of his training days but definitely one of the best servers I have ever had. Highly recommend The Crab Barrack if you are in town.
