Reviews
"Steamed blue crabs, colossal crab cake, hush puppies, fries, homemade coleslaw, corn on the cob.......all outstanding. Also crab bisque is awesome. You know the crab cake is good when there is no sign of filler or binder, not sure how they keep it together. Everyrhing here was wonderful. We sat out back too, picnic tables on the deck, plenty of room, trees everywhere. Great vibe. HIGHLY recommended."
"I heard so many great reviews about this place and finally had a chance to try it for myself! This location is off the beaten path though well worth the trouble to find. Plenty of parking, limited seating inside, though lots of seating outside if you enjoy eating your crabs outdoors. There is also little play area for the kids outside. They actually steam the crabs outside too. I ordered the fatboys because why not I was at Fatboys?! They were pricey though I don't mind paying for good food, just don't want to pay a shiny red penny for bad food. They were a great size, flavored well, and meaty. We also ordered the steamed shrimp which were fresh, steamed perfectly and had a great flavor. I will definitely head back there soon."
"The seafood feast can began here! Casual as expected; everything is great here. Pricing was as expected (comparable to all the other crab houses/shacks). The food quality, the menu, the beer selection will keep us coming back."
"Decent food, nice location, but really underwhelming service. We ordered some mozzarella sticks, crab dip, hush puppies, a fish sandwich and a crab cake sandwich. You order at the counter, they give you a number, then you choose your table. We decided to sit outside. There's lots of outdoor seating, it's mostly under tents, so nicely shaded, and there are some outdoor televisions as well. The mozzarella sticks, hush puppies and fish sandwich all arrived pretty quickly, but no sign of the crab dip or crab cake sandwich. We flagged down one of the food runners and asked him to check on our food, but he never returned. Finally, after about 45 minutes, the crab dip arrived, it was good, but definitely on the salty side. After about an hour my friend went inside to check on his sandwich, they said it was nearly ready, but when they asked the kitchen, they said it hadn't been started. They refunded him for the sandwich. I have years of experience in the service industry, so it's hard for me to be negative, especially now, with so many restaurants being understaffed. But I just didn't see any hustle in any of the food runners, they all kinda leisurely strolled. Perhaps it's a safety thing, but with everything basically fried, and served on paper, it's not like they're carrying heavy trays. Maybe I'm being over critical, but an hour waiting on a sandwich is pretty excessive. I'm willing to go back and give them another shot."
