The Mighty Crab Plus

The Mighty Crab Plus brings the flavors of the Gulf Coast to Little Rock with an authentic seafood boil experience that has locals cracking shells and getting their hands dirty. Located in the heart of Central Arkansas, this lively seafood joint offers diners a chance to dive into messy, flavorful meals served on paper-lined tables with plenty of napkins at the ready. The restaurant specializes in the traditional Louisiana-style seafood boil, where fresh crustaceans are steamed with bold spices and served family-style.

The menu centers around fresh crab, crawfish, and shrimp prepared with house-blend seasonings that range from mild to fire-hot. Signature offerings include whole Dungeness crab clusters, Louisiana crawfish by the pound, and jumbo shrimp, all available with classic sides like corn on the cob, red potatoes, and andouille sausage. The kitchen also serves fried seafood baskets, po’boy sandwiches, and gumbo for those preferring utensil-friendly options. Each seafood boil comes with the restaurant’s special garlic butter sauce and choice of seasoning level.

The atmosphere embraces the casual, get-your-hands-dirty nature of seafood boils with communal-style seating and a laid-back vibe. Tables are topped with brown paper and equipped with wooden mallets and shell crackers, while walls display maritime decorations and vintage seafood signage. The open kitchen allows diners to watch their orders being prepared, adding to the authentic seafood shack experience.

Visitors seeking an interactive dining experience will find The Mighty Crab Plus perfect for group celebrations, family gatherings, or date nights with a playful twist. The restaurant works well for those wanting to try something different from typical Little Rock fare, offering Central Arkansas diners a taste of coastal cuisine without the drive to Louisiana.
