About The Tasty Crab

We offers a diverse range of juicy seafood, including shrimp, oysters, blue crab, snow crab, crawfish, clams, mussels, Dungeness crab, and lobster.

All of our seafood is sold according to weight. Once weighed, the crabs and other seafood will be mixed with the restaurant’s famous sauce and served in steam bags. Instead of the traditional methods of using a knife and fork, hands are applied directly. The restaurant will provide gloves, bibs, and other β€œtools” upon request. The finger-licking goodness of Mr. and The Tasty Crab seafood will leave a lingering flavorful taste in your mouth!

Bloomington is in Illinois, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Bloomington follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Puts Red Lobster to shame! The kids devoured their food and stole our lobster and crab. Will definitely be back.

I love this store! Great taste and great service. It was my birthday today, and I just left a small note under user preferences β€” and they actually gave me extra food and even a sweet handwritten birthday note and dessert! Truly the most heartwarming surprise I’ve received all week. Thank you so much β€” you made my day πŸ₯ΉπŸŽ‰

I seen someone review this place on TikTok and figured I’d give it a try. Went for lunch and they had great lunch deals! I got the 1/2 lb snow crab and 1/2 lb black muscles with medium spice and all seasonings and it was phenomenal! So much flavoring, I ate all of it. For three people and two Mai Thais it was only $77. Definitely need to come back here sometime soon!

What a hidden gem! This place was crazy good! Never in a million years did I think I would get a EXCELLENT seafood boil in Bloomington Illinois but here we are! Perfect balance of heat and pronounced Cajun flavors and spices. Their egg in all the seasoning is my new favorite way to consume an egg. Will absolutely be back anytime time I’m close to town. The service was also really awesome! Only a couple people working at the time. Both guys were super friendly. Helped walk me through the menu as a first timer. Top to bottom one of my best dining experiences in a while. Prices were very fair as well! I treated myself a bit more than a normal lunch but right place to do it at!

Despite its unassuming and inauspicious exterior, The Tasty Crab is an absolutely legit Cajun seafood establishment. You're going to get messy, but you're going to love every minute of it. I went with the Create Your Own with shrimp and sausage. I opted for the Cajun seasoning extra hot. What arrived was very flavorful with a very nice kick. Portion size was bigger than I expected, so, sadly, I could not finish. Service was very friendly and attentive. I feel like we arrived in the middle of the dinner rush, but we felt like our waiter handled everything well.
