Seafood enthusiasts can now head over to Hip Hop Crab Bar, where guests can let loose with the restaurant’s “eat, drink, chill” vibes.
Hip Hop Crab Bar is located at 4924 E. Busch Blvd. in between Busch Gardens and Temple Terrace. Its menu lists plates like seafood egg rolls, a fried lobster platter, or a variety of their “Trap Tacos.” There’s also a homemade “Boujee Crab Cake” on toasted Kaiser, served with sriracha aioli drip and waffle fries.
There are also four flavors of crab bowls (pictured above; cajun, garlic butter, Caribbean curry, lemon pepper), which all come served with corn, potatoes, boiled eggs, and sausage.
Healthier choices like a vegetable crab cake sandwich or veggie pasta round out the rest of the options.
A grand opening is set to happen in a couple weeks but guests are welcome to drop by now for food and entertainment—mask and social distance rules apply.
Hip Hop Crab Bar is open 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Mon.-Thu., 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Fri., 5 p.m.-11 p.m. Sat. and 11 am.-9 p.m. Sun.
