Authentic Louisiana Flavors in Michigan

One of the things that first caught my attention about A Plus Crab is that they specialize in true Louisiana-style seafood boils and Po’boys. As someone who loves the bold, peppery flavors of Cajun cuisine, it’s exciting to find a local spot bringing a taste of NOLA to our neighborhood.

Owner Hua and his team moved up from Louisiana to open A Plus Crab, and they brought their tried-and-true family recipes with them. That means you can expect authentic seasoned boils along with Southern hospitality here in Auburn Hills.

The restaurant is located in a neat industrial-chic building just off of Baldwin Road. Inside, the dining area has a relaxed, casual atmosphere with a clever crab theme.

Wood plank walls, metal crab cutouts, nautical ropes and buoys create a fun, coastal vibe. There are tables and booths for seating options Plus TVs around the room for catching games while you dine.

The mix of polished concrete floors, warm lighting, and pops of color give it a welcoming, laid-back feel that’s perfect for a crab feast!
