Great food and service but the waiter made an error in saying we would get Moreton bay bugs and none came out on our combo plate.
Great crab offerings, nice atmosphere and good service. Butter and champagne sauce is a winner. . . . . . . . . . .
The food was amazing and the service was second to none. Consistently great night out. One of my favourite places to eat in Brisbane. Highly recommend!
The food is fantastic! Absolutely love everything about this place. A definite favourite! Service is always amazing and can't wait to go again! Yum! Yum!
With wonderful staff, beautiful food and service. Our Wedding anniversary was a hit ...thanks for the experience with friendly faces, fast service and great food. A lovely place indeed !
Great food. Super friendly and helpful staff. Menu is a little expensive for what you expect to get, but happy with the flavours and quality of the seafood.
Great food! Third time eating at St James and each time the food, staff and service has been fantastic. Will certainly go back again. Alyssa
St James Crabhouse is brilliant!! The most delicious food and wonderful service. The seafood is ridiculously fresh and so so tasty! Highly recommend a visit!
The crab here is amazing! Highly recommend the Singapore chilli sauce. The service was fantastic. Will definitely be back and recommending to friends and family.
Delicious food. Casual atmosphere. Friendly, attentive staff. Dinner with a difference. Fun. Wasn't able to get on-road parking but there is BCC parking conveniently close by. We'll return.
Amazing selection of crab and non crab dishes. Yummy sides. Good service and friendly staff. Highly recommend if you love seafood. Will definitely be back!
Fantastic ! The food was amazing & the service super friendly ! In a great location with off street parking. We will definitely be back. Thank you
The waiter we had was great and had a bit of a laugh with us. The restaurant is small and intimate and best of all the food was divine!
Great food, was slightly disappointed they had no specials available, such as oysters and lobster, however great variation with the scrabs. We purchased the sandcrab special with a variety of seafood so were able to try a lot of the seafood, the mussels were especially delicious.
Fantastic food and service! The Singapore chilli crab was divine! We had the mini crab cakes for entree - beautiful with lots of crab in them and Keylime pie for dessert, another hit. We will be going back!
Pleasant staff with excellent service. Crab cakes ordinary, seared prawns average but soft shell crab excellent. Striploin quite small for a main and average. Will go back with seafood eaters and explore the crab menu as looked good on other tables
The food is first class and so is the friendly service. The prices are not low but I believe that we got good value for money. I would recommend the St James to anybody, especially foodies like ourselves. We had the Snow Crab Combo which contained Snow crab, Blue Swimmers (Sandies for Queenslanders), Red Claw and Mussels. I had the Singapore Chilli sauce which was not hot but very good. My gastronomical friend had the Citrus Beurre Blanc sauce which was very nice. A GREAT meal.
Great food and friendly staff. The Alaskan king crab was incredible and that garlic sauce, ohemgee! Do yourself a favour and enjoy a meal here, you won't regret it.
Lovely place, great vibe, yummy food. Excellent value for money and the sauces are divine!!! Wait staff share the specials and explain everything clearly whilst answering any questions. Loved the 'bib' to protect your clothes and the gloves to protect your hands. Great experience - highly recommend it!!!!
Food and services is amazing! Got the Qld special so much amazig seafood and at an affordable price. Thank you again st James :) .
Very disappointing! The $89 crab combo, drenched in an incredibly salty, nondescript oily 'sacue' was served in a plastic bag on the table. The seafood chowder was basically a very bland potato soup consisting mostly of potatoes and carrots, with a few mussels and only a few small pieces of chopped prawns as the 'seafood'. The beer is served in warm glasses and table water is also served lukewarm. The staff were all rather bored and unhappy too. A completely over-priced and dreadfully disappointing dining experience.
We had Australian Blue Swimmers and a Crab and Prawn combo meal. Wow! Great food and really good service. Intimate setting. Staff were friendly. Had a great night.
Always sensational, personable staff and service plus awesome food. Wouldn't go anywhere else for this type of experience. Highly recommended and will be going again...and again..
Staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was nice, nothing special though with flavours. Would suggest it's worth a visit if asked about it. Thanks.
St.James Crabhouse is located in a beautiful area. The resturant is smaller than we expected but that allowed for all nice, quiet atmosphere. The food was delicious and served quickly. Only negative we thought was paying $40 for 1/2 a kilo of prawns - although they tasted great. Highly recommend, we will be back again!
Delicious crab and great service. A bit pricey for some items but there is no such thing as cheap king crab. Decor is bright and friendly, think oceanside crabshack. Perfect.
Im not the biggest seafood fan but my family are, so we chose the Crabhouse for a night out when they were visiting. Definitely not the decor i was expecting for a Crabhouse, had a very young hipster feel to the place. My family LOVED the food, we got a few platters & some sides for the table and it was just enough to not be overfilling. The bibs and gloves are a welcome necessity. The place is tiny, so make sure you make a booking!
Great food. We had the snow crab combo and it was amazing. Service is also amazing, staff were very attentive and friendly. Would return again
Delicious ribs, crab and mussels. Lots of it as well. Waiting staff very friendly. Unfortunately the beer ran out. Will be coming back again though.
loved it!!!! Have been a few times now and its great food in a pleasant surrounding, we will be back again to sample a few of our favorites
Great atmosphere, great food, the staff offered excellent suggestions. Had the Alaskan crab combo, and it was amazing. The special scallop entreé was great. Will return!
Great food. The crab was to die for. Great service. The Baltimore house sauce was less buttery than last time. I prefer the more buttery version. A cocktail menu would be a wonderful addition.
We've been going to St. James Crabhouse & Kitchen for how many times now. The food is really delicious and we always get a good service from the friendly staffs.
Dined here last night, always glad when we do. Consistently great food and friendly service. Recommend this hip place for seafood lovers. Thanks for another awesome feed.
Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Food was excellent. And price is also very reasonable. I would return to eat when I am in Brisbane. Thank you.
Great crab, good wine and good service. We had an early seating so wasn't too busy. Would recommend if you've never been to a crab shack before.
Great service from the moment we entered and the seafood was fresh, delicious and well portioned. Great evening and will be back again for sure.
excellent food and service, everything on the menu was explained extremely well by our host. we will be back again soon to sample some more of the great menu.
Great food. Great service. The Baltimore and Singapore chill sauces were fantastic. If you are looking for a good cooked seafood experience, then this is a place for a casual dinner without being pretentious.
Great food but most of the items on the menu were unavailable. Host was really knowledgable and very friendly. I would go back but would go on a Saturday night when they have a full menu
