★★★★★
The Mr. & Mrs. sauce is unreal — buttery, garlicky, just enough heat. We did the combo with snow crab and shrimp and left covered in it. Worth every napkin.

The place
Mr. & Mrs. Crab Juicy Seafood & Bar is a Cajun-style seafood restaurant in the Gandy corridor of South Tampa at 4426 W Gandy Blvd. The kitchen specializes in boil-in-a-bag combos of snow crab, king crab, shrimp, crawfish, lobster tail, and clams tossed in house-made garlic butter, Cajun, lemon-pepper, or signature Mr. & Mrs. sauce. The restaurant operates a full bar with frozen cocktails and beer. Family- and kid-friendly seating with bibs and gloves provided. Takeout and delivery are available via Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub. Reservations are not required and seating is first-come, first-served. The location holds a 4.5-star Google rating across more than 2,750 reviews.
Tucked into the Gandy corridor between South Tampa and the Gandy Bridge, Mr. & Mrs. Crab brings a Louisiana-style boil house to the bay area. The dining room runs casual and loud — paper-lined tables, bibs, gloves, and bags of seafood dumped straight in front of you. It's the kind of place locals bring out-of-town guests when they want a hands-on meal without driving to St. Pete.
Build your own boil by picking a protein (snow crab clusters, king crab legs, head-on shrimp, crawfish, lobster tail, black mussels, clams, or whole catfish), a sauce (Cajun, lemon-pepper, garlic butter, or the house Mr. & Mrs. blend), and a spice level. Combos add corn, potatoes, sausage, and a boiled egg. Fried baskets — catfish, calamari, shrimp po'boys, and hushpuppies — round out the menu for anyone skipping the boil.
No reservations; walk-in only, with a free parking lot on-site. The full bar pours frozen daiquiris, margaritas, and domestic beer. Takeout is straightforward through the website or third-party apps. Expect a wait on Friday and Saturday nights after 7 p.m.

What people are saying
★★★★★
Best boil I've had in Tampa. The crawfish was actually plump and the lemon-pepper wings on the side were a nice surprise. Service was quick on a Saturday night.
★★★★★
Brought the kids and they loved the bibs and bags. Catfish basket for them, king crab for us. A little pricey but the portions are huge and you leave full.
