Score
Crafty Crab has been inspected 11 times since 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Feb 24, 2026. High risk indicates the latest inspection turned up problems worth knowing about.

Looking across the full record, “food stored on floor” is the recurring theme, flagged seven times.
Compared to other Miami Gardens restaurants (averaging 80), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
