A wave of seafood is coming to Fort Smith.
In addition to the recent news of Hook & Reel going in the old Logan's Roadhouse, a sign was recently put up at the former Furr's Fresh Buffet on Rogers Avenue that announces it would become The Mighty Crab.
No remodeling plans have been filed with the Fort Smith Building Safety Division as of Monday for the former Furr's Fresh Buffet at 5707 Rogers Ave.
Mighty Crab restaurants can currently be found at 1817 S. University Ave. in Little Rock and 2703 Lakewood Village Drive in North Little Rock. There are also locations in Texarkana, Texas, and Monroe, Louisiana.
Dining out: Here are five restaurants Fort Smith residents would like to have
Those Mighty Crab restaurants are open every day from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. with extended hours to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
Menu items and prices at The Mighty Crab include a $13 plate of 10 fried oysters and a $6 half-pound plate of boiled crawfish. A pound of king crab legs goes for about $35 and two 12-ounce lobster tails are about $28 at those other Mighty Crab restaurants. The seafood platters are served with corn and potatoes. They also offer tilapia, catfish, and fresh oysters.
The menu allows customers to make up their own seafood combo with a choice of spice level, and spices – Cajun, lemon pepper, garlic butter and "juicy special" with all three.
Daily specials at the Mighty Crab include an assortment of shrimp, lobster, crab and mussels.
The Furr's closure
Vitanonva Brands, the parent company to Furr's Fresh Buffett, announced a temporary closure of the restaurants in March 2020 in response to COVID-19. The Fort Smith Furr's did not reopen.
The company has worked to rebrand their Furr's restaurants as Furr’s All You Can Eat Marketplaces that would also serve as "ghost kitchens" for other concepts owned by Vitanova Brands.
