As a seafood lover living in Florida, I’m always on the hunt for the best local spots to get my fill of fresh crab. So when I heard great things about A&A Crab House in Deltona, I knew I had to check out their menu. After perusing all their mouthwatering options online, I was hooked and ready to visit.
This family-owned restaurant specializes in crab but also offers a nice variety of other seafood sandwiches salads, and sides. Everything is made from scratch with care using quality ingredients. Keep reading to learn all about the items available on A&A Crab House’s appetizing menu!
Start Your Meal Off Right with Shareable Appetizers
A&A Crab House has several appetizers that are perfect for kicking off a meal with friends or family. The Baked Crab Mac and Cheese immediately caught my eye – they take their homemade mac and cheese up a notch by loading it with creamy crab meat. It’s baked until golden and bubbly for a decadent starter.
Another delicious option is the empanadas, with your choice of fillings like shrimp crab beef, or chicken baked inside a crispy pastry shell. I’d also recommend the Mozzarella Sticks – six lightly breaded and fried sticks served with marinara sauce for dipping.
And you can’t go wrong with classics like their Bread and Homemade Garlic Butter. The soft, warm bread is ideal for sopping up the savory garlic butter. An order of hushpuppies served with honey butter also makes for tasty shareable nibbles to commence your meal.
Fresh Salads with Seafood Upgrades
In addition to apps, A&A Crab House provides a few salad options, with the ability to add seafood for extra flavor and protein.
The House Salad starts with a base of mixed greens, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, croutons, and carrots. You choose from homemade dressings like Italian, ranch, vinaigrette, or blue cheese. Then you can opt to top it off with fried or blackened chicken, fish, or shrimp for a heartier salad.
Having one of their salads first makes a nice light start if you want to save room for the numerous tempting entrees.
Pasta Dishes Packed with Seafood
Of course, being a crab-centered restaurant, many of A&A Crab House’s dishes showcase this tasty crustacean in creative ways. The Mia Momma Mia Pasta Plate allows you to choose a protein like shrimp, chicken, or sausage to mix with the creamy alfredo noodles.
I’d suggest going for the shrimp or making it a surf and turf combo. And adding a side of the Crab Mac and Cheese to any pasta dish would only elevate it even further!
Traditional Fried Seafood Platters
You can’t visit a place called Crab House without trying out some of their crispy fried seafood baskets! For these classic entrees, you first pick either fish, shrimp, or sausage.
Then it’s lightly breaded and fried to golden perfection. The Fisherman’s Dinner features two pieces of white fish, while the Tata’s Tide Dinner includes a piece of fish along with six fried shrimp.
These baskets come with your choice of home-style side dish, like garlic rice, mashed potatoes, fries, coleslaw, or fresh vegetables. I personally love the combination of fried seafood with crispy fries or coleslaw. Add a slice of grilled garlic bread on the side, and you have the perfect platter!
Po’ Boys and Sandwiches Stuffed with Seafood
In addition to fried platters, A&A Crab House offers several po’ boy style sandwiches piled high with your preferred protein. You can go classic with fried shrimp or opt for fried fish, sausage, or chicken instead.
The toppings include shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, onions, and a zesty remoulade sauce. I’d also suggest adding cheese for an extra 50 cents! Choose from pairings like fries or creamy coleslaw to complete your meal.
For a lighter sandwich option, order the fish or shrimp grilled or blackened instead of fried. The flavors really shine through without the heavy breading. And the accompaniments like lettuce, tomato, and onion nicely complement the simply seasoned seafood.
Build Your Own Boil Feast
No crab restaurant would be complete without offering traditional seafood boils, and A&A Crab House fully delivers. The boils allow you to pick your own combo of proteins like shrimp, crab, crawfish, clams, mussels, and lobster tail.
Then it’s boiled in a seasoned broth packed with onions, potatoes, corn, and sausage. The seafood soaks up all that bold flavor for an incredible feast. It’s dumped out on the table for everyone to dig into family-style.
Boils are fun, communal dining experiences with delicious, fresh seafood you peel and eat with your hands. I’d suggest trying one of A&A’s boils on your next visit!
All the Crab You Could Want
Since A&A Crab House specializes in crab, they offer several preparation styles to suit your preferences. You can’t beat Alaskan King Crab, prized for its huge size, succulent meat, and sweet flavor. Order it steamed or fried in a basket, sandwich, or pasta dish for a decadent treat.
For crab connoisseurs, they provide Dungeness, known for its tender, salty-sweet meat. Snow crab is another good choice, valued for its long legs bursting with flaky white flesh.
And you can’t forget classic Carolina blue crab, caught fresh daily and served chilled, fried, or in soups and pastas. It has a distinctive taste and texture aficionados adore. The possibilities are endless for crab lovers here!
Homemade Sides to Match the Seafood
Every good seafood meal needs some equally delicious sides to complement the entrees. That’s why A&A Crab House puts care into sides made in-house daily.
The Homemade Crab Mac and Cheese is a fan favorite. Other options include options like garlic rice, mashed potatoes, fries, creamy coleslaw, corn on the cob, and boiled eggs.
Sides can also be ordered a la carte if you want extra to share. I’d recommend rounding out your meal with a side of spicy boiled sausage and tender corncob halves dripping with butter.
Kids Meals Cater to Young Diners
For families dining together, A&A Crab House offers kid-friendly fried platters their little ones will love. Choose from popcorn shrimp, chicken wings, chicken tender basket, or Alfredo pasta with shrimp, tailored to young tastes.
The kids meals come with an applicable side dish and small drink. It’s a great way to introduce young seafood lovers to flavors like crispy fried shrimp or flaky white fish.
Save Room for Sweet Treats
Be sure to save room for something sweet from the dessert menu after polishing off A&A Crab House’s amazing entrees. Options like moist chocolate cake, cheesecake with fruit compote, and cool key lime pie provide the perfect sweet finish.
Or opt for the dessert duo or trio to sample multiple mini versions and get the best of everything. There’s no better way to end your meal on a high note!
Daily Specials for More Variety
In addition to their regular menu selections, A&A Crab House runs daily specials that change up what they offer. Some examples are all-you-can-eat snow crab on Mondays, BOGO seafood baskets on Wednesdays, and $10 lunch combos on weekdays.
It’s worth calling ahead to ask what the specials will be for the day you’re dining. That way you can take advantage of any limited time options or discounts. The specials keep things interesting and provide incentive to come back frequently.
