Went here with some family (7 people) on a Friday night. They were very nice to us even with only about a 30 minute call ahead asking for a reservation. The server even asked if it was any of our birthdays. Coincidentally, it was actually my birthday and we were there celebrating it but didn’t bring any desserts and I was full so I didn’t want to order anything. When we told him it was my birthday, he offered a free dessert and they played birthday music. The food was amazing and the service was phenomenal. My family can be very annoying especially being a server myself I know this so I really appreciate it when servers are so understanding of a chaotic family with some very talkative people. We will definitely be back. The restaurant was beautiful as well and the music was great and the dessert was soooooo good!

Great restaurant. Food was delicious and they give you plenty of seafood. Shrimp are big, muscles are big, and the crab is very fresh. Good service and the price is well worth it. One of the best restaurants in Metuchen

This is my favorite crab restaurant to be honest my family and I have been coming here for years and is our favorite restaurant to come together. The choices are great. The options are amazing. The staff is fantastic. I just love this place. This place has set the standard for me when I go to other crab locations and I keep catching myself trying to findnaughty occasion, crab and other seafood places and so far I haven’t found any that can compare highly recommended.

What an amazing place. First off right when you walk into the restaurant you get hit with an amazing aroma of cajun and a mix of wonderful seasonings. This was my first time trying seafood boil and i had an absolutely amazing experience. We got the festival boil and it was great came with great proportions for 4 to 5. Don't get me started with the service Katherine was an amazing person not just server. She made our experience go from 9/10 to a 20/10.

An Unmatched Seafood Experience at Nauti Cajun Crab! If you’re looking for the best seafood in town, look no further—Nauti Cajun Crab is truly in a league of its own. I’ve tried just about every seafood spot in the area, and nothing comes close to the rich, perfectly balanced flavors they serve here. The seasoning is always on point—bold, flavorful, and perfectly cooked in a way that keeps me coming back again and again. Honestly, it’s one of my recent addictions haha! The ambience at Nauti Cajun Crab is just as impressive as the food. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm, inviting vibes, cozy lighting, and a playlist that sets the perfect tone—comforting and groovy in all the right ways. And let’s talk about the staff—they’re the heart of this place. Every single team member is welcoming, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there. There’s a real sense of familiarity here, where the team makes you feel seen, welcomed, and valued every single time. This isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a whole vibe. I find myself coming back so often that it’s practically become a habit. A delicious, satisfying, soulful habit. Highly recommend Nauti Cajun Crab!

It’s so hard to find a good seafood spot that you get your money worth ! And this place was the best so far. Free parking across the street. So friendly. And free clean.

This was my first time at Nauti Crab in Metuchen for my birthday. The place looks very nice inside and clean as well. We were seated in the swinging bamboo seats by the window which was a cool experience. The staff was amazing, very friendly and had great customer service. I've tried a few seafood boil restaurants and this is one of the best places. I ordered dessert the "Seafood Lovers" dish with garlic butter which was really good and the portion size was healthy. Use can also BYOB. Also, the music was selection was good. We really enjoyed ourselves and look forward to coming back with family and friends. I highly recommend Nauti Crab.
