Absolutely a great place to go. We ordered the all you can eat crab and catfish and they never let our plates go empty. Everything is fresh and cooked at the time of ordering. We came on Tuesday as a birthday treat to myself, and holy was it a real treat. We'll be returning hopefully soon.

I took my dad to eat here today for a late Father's Day lunch and it was really good we had the all you can eat crab. I have allergies to most butter, so I had to bring my own and they were able to accommodate that which was much appreciated. It was quite busy and they were able to keep us without being out of crab for more than a few minutes. There were only two people working and they managed to keep all of the tables going.

Service and food were amazing!!! There was a deal with our food that got us 2 free clusters of crab. It was our first time so he offered us free drinks and to try all of the butters. So much for a good price. Such a great place with AMAZING customer service!

The food was fantastic! I came here with my family for my birthday dinner and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The owner of the business greeted us outside the restaurant and welcomed us in. It was our first time here and he was very friendly and showed us the menu. He brought us free samples of some of the items on the menu. The crab was so delicious and the lobster was so sweet we will definitely be back.

Hole in the wall spot that is a total sleeper hit! Everything here was fantastic, except the sweet tea but drinks are complimentary anyway. Split the Date Plate and it was more than enough crab legs, shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn. Everything was seasoned fantastically and very fresh. I also ordered the catfish basket, which is possibly the best catfish I’ve ever had! The fries and hush puppies were delicious as well as the crab rangoon. Highly recommend Krabby Daddy

If you’re a seafood enthusiast, **Krabby Daddy Seafood Restaurant** is an absolute MUST-VISIT! I recently had the most incredible dining experience here, and I’m still dreaming about it. The **All-You-Can-Eat Crab Legs** deal is hands down the best I’ve ever had – fresh, succulent, and perfectly seasoned. Every bite was pure heaven! But it doesn’t stop there. The spread included **juicy shrimp**, **buttery potatoes**, **sweet corn**, **flavorful sausage**, and even **hard-boiled eggs** to round out the feast. The variety and quality of the food were unmatched, and the flavors complemented each other so well. It felt like a seafood carnival on my plate! The service was top-notch – the staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure my table was always stocked with fresh crab legs. The atmosphere was lively and fun, perfect for a casual hangout or a special celebration. If you’re looking for a place to indulge in a seafood feast that’s worth every penny, **Krabby Daddy** is the spot. Trust me, you’ll leave with a full stomach, a big smile, and plans to come back ASAP. Don’t miss out – this place is a GEM! **Pro Tip:** Come hungry and leave your diet at the door – you’ll want to try EVERYTHING!

If you’ve never been to Krabby Daddys, stop what you're doing and go. This place is hands-down my favorite restaurant, and for good reason. Every year on my birthday, I make the 40-minute trip out just to treat myself to what can only be described as seafood perfection — and it never disappoints. I got the Krabby Daddy Plate: two clusters of crab legs, shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes, and a boiled egg all drenched in the most flavorful Cajun butter you can imagine. My wife went with the fried fish and fries (plus corn), and said the crab rangoon was the best she’s ever had — no exaggeration. My son was all about his shrimp and corn combo, and my daughter got free mac and cheese just because Mike (the owner) is that kind of guy. Mike is the vibe. He cooked and served our food himself, treated us like family, and even gave us free drinks for my birthday. He’s passionate, generous, and clearly pours his heart into this place. It’s rare to find a spot where the food and service are equally amazing — but Krabby Daddys nails it. The atmosphere? Chill, welcoming, and full of good energy. Like eating at your cousin’s place — if your cousin could cook seafood better than most five-star restaurants. I recommend Krabby Daddys to everyone. It’s a hidden gem worth the drive, and once I’m done with college and not broke anymore, I plan to be a regular. If you’re lucky enough to catch Mike in-house, come hungry — because odds are, he’ll be tossing some extra goodness your way.

A friend and I were there Friday, May 2nd, around 1 pm. We are from Madisonville Kentucky I can only speak for my 3 piece catfish meal with fries and Hush Puppies, but he did eat his chicken tenders. It was the best catfish meal i've had in years. Everything was perfect for me. I will be back.
