Food Review: Crab N' Crew Restobar

Last Saturday was the day I went back to Quezon City, for those of you who knows me, I rarely go to this city as I hate traffic and this big place is an unfamiliar territory for me.  On the contrary, my friends was able to track down a good restaurant along Visayas Avenue and when there's a good deal and great finds I must be there.

The name of the place is Crab n' Crew, the place is located at 77 Visayas Avenue Quezon City.  I saw this place running down my news feed in social media and we have been planning to go to this place for weeks now.  Finally, I was able to go here last Saturday.

The catch, all you can eat mud crabs (alimango) from opening till closing time.  The restaurant opens from 10:00 a.m - 10:00 p.m. (12 hours), if your blood pressure can still take it and you're with good company of family and friends, I don't think eating tons will be a problem.

As you can see in the picture below, Crab all you can costs 699 pesos.  This includes unlimited crabs, rice and lemon iced tea.  They also have a standard, vinegar or garlic butter sauce.  Not bad in my opinion, but my dad said, you got to eat at least 2 kilos of crabs to really get the value for the money you'll pay.  There's no more service charge and it's all in for 699.

Before anything else, let's try to have a look around the place.  When we arrived at the place from Pasig, it was around 5 p.m. in the afternoon. I haven't eaten breakfast nor lunch so I'm up for the challenge.  They have parking outside and underground, which is a good thing.  The place looked safe and it's in the first floor of the building.

I like the vibe it gives outside, it's simple, wooden tables and an umbrella outside, metal chairs.  When you enter this place, you feel like you're at home and just waiting for the food to come on a Sunday lunch with family.  

Up on the walls, you see different pictures of crew, cooks and lights. It feels cozy, up on the side of the wall you see the name of the place and a bar in the middle.  The restaurant itself is not big, but I can see the reality of this place when it's packed.  I guess we picked a good timing and with no reservations we got a slot, phew!.  

I would have loved the place though if it was a little bit cooler, battling with food is a hard task.  I give the place for it's surrounding a good 4 out of 5.  There's a good potential this could be a 5.

Here's an idea of how much the other entree's they offer costs.  As you can see it's not all crabs but other seafoods and chicken/pork are also available.

Look how cool their bar is, we could have stayed and drank on that day but we didn't as food was out target for the day.

The staff was very friendly though, we had one mishap when one waiter's dropped iced tea on the table but that won't stop us from eating. :) Shit happens! :) See how cute the tagline "Crabs gather here", super cute!

               Here I am with my friends before my battle with crabs began... :)

The tables are taped on a paper underneath is plastic for easy clean-up, yeah! They also have tool to help you attack the crabs, I was so fascinated by the big stone then the wood thingy that acts like a mortar and pestle.  Believe me it helped me a lot.

Start time.  The crabs are small from what I was expecting, I remembered the crabs my papa brought home and they were big.  It's medium sized and they kind of toss the crabs down the table about 6-8 pieces per drop.  They already took off the legs except the claws but that's okay. While I didn't like the garlic butter sauce as it's bland I liked the crabs and the vinegar sauce.  Surprisingly, these crabs were sweet and fatty oh yeah! :)

I think my friend and I were able to get around 8-10 rounds of crabs while talking to each other like how a drinking session would be like.  Don't share this though, we were there for about 3-4 hours and it was worth it. I remember I had to tell my friend to get my maintenance just to make sure no blood pressure goes up and cheat day is on!

Let me tell you that I have never eaten more than 2 crabs in one seating! I must say, it's an accomplishment.

We also tried the Crab Dynamite for 165 pesos for 6 pieces if I remember it right.  I was craving for something like this the past days, so yeah it satisfied my craving.  Though, I must say, I didn't taste the crab much. It's a good 3 out of 5 for me.

In conclusion, I must say that I enjoyed the trip I had here at Crab N' Crew Restobar. It was a great experience mixed with good food and great company of friends.  I rate this bar a good 4 out of 5.  Soon from their page I see there will be oysters and squid, whatever that new thing will be I'm pretty sure I'll be around soon.
