The Twisted Crab Auburndale

Jasmine Morris

My family is new to the area and decided to try them out. The experience was just okay. We went on a Saturday between 7-8pm. The place was dead and the staff was very nonchalant and not personable at all. Much different from the place we usually go. The food could have been seasoned more and a full bar would have been nice. We decided we will just take the drive to Lakeland next time.

Went in soon after they opened (Noon). The place is very nice. I ordered the shrimp and crawfish combo. Was very disappointed. Shrimp and crawfish completely dried out ( don’t know how long they had been frozen)although they tried to hide that fact with lots of butter ( see pictures). Lol.

We have been to this restaurant 3 times since moving back to Auburndale. My husband got the oyster basket and i got the shrimp basket. Nicely done..decent sized shrimp and tasty. Service was impeccable. Paul is just attentive enough to make sure you need anything or not but is not overly pushy like at some places. Last time we got their BOGO of steamed shrimp to go and i must say the shrimp were done perfectly. So many places either over good or undercook shrimp. Today we got their special. It was soooo amazing. 5 lbs of seafood for $65!! you just can't beat that. 1 lb. headless shrimp (or head on if you want) 1 lb crab 1 lb black mussels 1 lb crawfish 1 lb sausage. plus you get 4 corn on the cob halves and 4 small potatoes. Everything was again done to perfection. I have had many southern or low country boils etc. but these outdid them all. We took half of it home! Again Paul made sure we had everything we needed and at perfect intervals. It takes a lot to impress me especially with seafood. Twisted Crab has easily reached my 5 star level!.

The flavor of everything was on point. The Bogo shirmp, where you got 1 pound for the price of a half pound was a great deal. The decor on the inside is new and clean. The waiters and other staff we talked to where very nice, but for some odd reason they seemed rushed with everything. The place was only about 20% full and it still felt like they didn’t have enough staff. The price is what you would expect from a crab place like this. It’s not going to be a cheep night out but it is far from expensive. We will be back, hopefully they will have more staff next time.
