St. James Crabhouse Bar & Grill 2 Harbour Road, Hamilton, Queensland 4007

"5 stars doesn’t do this justice! This place is amazing. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for their crabs, we ordered the swimmer and the Spanner both with the Baltimore sauce. We also ordered the chicken tenders and the calamari, they were so light and absolutely beautiful. We will 100 % be returning, if you enjoy a crab feast then definitely check this out if you haven’t already!"

"A good try with the bugs and softshell crabs. The sea food chowder is creamy. They also got different seafood sets for family to choose. The staff are nice and friendly."

"We had the garlic prawns and king crab cakes to start, then the crab boil with Shabang sauce. Everything was amazing and delicious! Such a enjoyable experience. Staff were fun and so helpful too, definitely recommend coming here!"

"Been meaning to check this place out since I saw the pictures in the reviews. Either easy parking or I happened to get lucky on the night. I made a reservation the day of for a Saturday day night via their online booking system off the website. There were 2 hour pre-determined time slots to choose from. I chose the 5.30 - 7.30 pm slot but we wanted to come at 6 pm. I called the resturant to advise them of our preferred time and it was updated for us without a fuss. They have beers on tap & serve alcohol at reasonable prices. I was hoping to try the king crab American boil platter & had to convince my friends to try it with me. It was nice they let us buy the Groupon voucher we saw online here even though you're meant to buy it in advance. Each platter is suited to 2 people. We got 2 platters between the 3 of us. Glad we did after the other comments indicating the platter wasn't quite enough. The plus of ordering 2 platters was being able to choose 2 different flavours. We chose 'hot' for the Singaporean flavour but in my opinion it wasn't hot at all. The other flavour had sage, garlic & butter was the better choice. A decent variety of crabs 4 types according to the menu. There was a decent selection of other seafood (bugs, muscles & pawns) even though I don't eat prawns. Wish there was more of the mini baguttes to dip into the sauces. The beef sausage was a random edition. Was thankful for the apron, gloves and proper utensils to get into the crab. Agree with other reviews regarding the freshness. Was told you need to order the mudcrab (not included in the platter) in advance so they can buy it fresh. Good to know. If you haven't been here before I recommend checking it out. It was busy however the service was great. Shout out to the friendly, helpful and accommodating staff."
