Book NowAbout Grabs Restaurant
Mount Lawley’s hands-on seafood boil trades conventional cutlery for bibs, gloves, and platters heaped with mud crab, marron, and prawns. Rather than standard butcher-paper dumps, dishes arrive neatly plated, doused in tangy Singapore chili or rich XO sauce alongside classic Cajun seasoning. Regulars know to mop up the spicy juices with fried mantou or crusty garlic bread—though the kitchen also caters to non-seafood eaters with tender pork ribs and steaming bowls of pho.
- Asian-Cajun Sauces: Boils are tossed in custom blends ranging from Louisiana Cajun to umami-rich XO and tangy Singapore chili crab sauce.
- Platter Service: Feasts come presented on wide platters alongside bibs and gloves, keeping table mess manageable.
- Beyond Shellfish: The kitchen rounds out crustacean boils with Vietnamese comfort fare like pork ribs and pho.

Why Dine at Grabs Restaurant
Feast on fresh shellfish boils tossed in bold Asian-Cajun sauces and built for shared celebrations.
Generous, Freshly Cooked Shellfish Boils
Whole lobsters, mud crabs, and mixed shellfish are generously portioned, cooked to succulent tenderness, and served fresh.
The seafood was super fresh, generous in portions, and everything came out beautifully prepared.
JayJay Tatin Mess-Free Platter Presentation
Unlike venues that pour shellfish straight onto the table, boils are plated on clean dishware for an enjoyable, manageable dining experience.
Food is served on a plate and not on the table so it’s not as messy.
Nicole Diep Distinctive Asian-Cajun Sauces
House specialties include Tangy Singapore chilli crab style sauce and savoury XO sauce alongside rich Cajun seasonings.
The Tangy Singapore sauce was on point—bright, flavorful, and complemented the dishes perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are the seafood boils served, and does it get messy?
Grabs serves seafood boils and platters with gloves and bibs provided, though dishes are presented on plates rather than poured directly across the table. Be prepared to eat with your hands, and pair your boil with rice, garlic bread, or mantou to soak up the sauce.
Are there non-seafood options on the menu?
Yes. Alongside seafood boils and platters, the menu features non-seafood alternatives including Vietnamese grilled pork ribs, pho, and pasta dishes.
What sauce and spice levels are available?
Sauces range from Cajun to XO, garlic butter, and tangy red Singapore-style sauce. Most sauces let you pick your heat level, though mild carries very little heat while spicy and extreme provide an intense kick.
Is parking available nearby?
The restaurant is tucked at the end of the arcade adjacent to a carpark, with parking options including a free parking lot, a paid parking lot, and paid street parking nearby.
