Smashin Crab: A Flavorful Cajun Seafood Experience in San Antonio

My husband and I decided on this place for our 29th anniversary and our granddaughter joined us for dinner. Devin was our waiter and he was awesome. We ordered the gumbo for us to try and share; it was good but, a little salty. We ordered The Crab Trap Boil with the trinity seasoning and it was plenty of food for the three of us. We ordered extra potatoes and eggs and everything was delicious. Devin made sure we had everything we needed and he checked on us several times. At the end of the meal Devin brought us warm delicious brownie and ice cream for our anniversary. HOW THOUGHTFUL WAS THAT!!!! We will definitely be back to try the catfish

We recommend you come here this place is always on point so good and affordable pricing . If you are first responders or military personnel they do discounts .

I love sea boil! This place is one of my top places to go to when we lived in San Antonio. We recently moved to Austin and we did not mind driving back just to have dinner here. We usually order the magnolia with the trinity sauce it is more than enough for a family of 3 very delicious, hits the spot just right and the fries are super crispy. The service is a 10 plus! We’ll be returning soon.

Absolutely the best of the best and then some! Food was sooooo good that we were ready to lick the taste of the walls. Great service, Outstanding selection, and Fabulous Results. Food was Hot, Fresh, Tasty, and Flavor packed down to the last bite. Hostess was extremely helpful, had an extensive knowledge of menu , and was courteous beyond measure. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and . This establishment is a MUST try if you are in the area. We will be back to throwdown on this seafood bonanza soon. Thank you for having us and serving up such a Great experience.

This was my first time visiting the restaurant, and my experience had a mix of highs and lows. When I arrived, the atmosphere felt welcoming and the staff greeted me politely, which gave a good first impression. The food itself was flavorful and came out hot, and I could tell it was made with care. However, the service was a bit inconsistent. After being seated, it took a while before our server checked in, and we had to wait longer than expected for drink refills and a few basic items. The staff was friendly when they did come by, but the timing felt off and made the visit less smooth than it could’ve been. Overall, my first visit wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t perfect either. The food was great, the people were kind, but the slow and uneven service kept it from being a fully positive experience. I’d be willing to give it another try, hoping for a more consistent visit next time. Lastly, make sure you look at PRICES before you pay for your meals. Food price is high in general. Picture below to show how much each thing cost.

This was my first time at Smashing Crab and everything was amazing. The service was great, our server Amanda and Jermaine was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the Crab Trap, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavor. To top it all off, they even gave us a free dessert, which was a really nice touch. Overall, it was a fantastic first visit, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving great seafood and excellent service!

Went with family for a birthday and ordered one of the bigger boils, "adventure of the sea," for 6 people. The amount of sauce on the actual boil was not a lot, but they give you an extra sauce on the side included with the larger boils. The Trinity can be pretty salty. The crab and lobster were cooked well but the shrimp were over cooked. Service was great. Atmosphere is ok, simple decorations and brightly lit, can get loud and crowded. The shopping area is pretty, but parking can be hard.

Definitely a good seafood place and I know seafood . Got the trinity flavor 3 and bucket to feed two everything was cooked great our server Amanda was so nice will be coming back Emilio the manager was also great super nice they will be seeing me again
