The Crab House was wonderful! We made a reservation online and then the seven of us got the big round table in the corner. It was fun for us as we have five kids to have such a cool spot. My wife got the all you can eat crabs and she loved it. She is from the eastern shore of Maryland and loves crabs. It was her first time in her life ever having an all you can eat, and hopefully will be a good memory for her. We also ordered half a dozen crabs for the kids which they loved as well. I got crabcakes, the fries and corn were great as well as the chicken tenders for the kids. Lemonades all around. We would definitely come and eat here again! read more

I really hate leaving a 1 star but this one is well deserved. Lets start up with the ambiance because it was the least offensive thing. A strange fusion of a bar and seafood restaurant that fails at both. The tables were set with these massive boxes that blocked off the center of the table, the shiplap could use some work, the general artwork was disappointing. But oh my god the noise, it wasn't possible to carry a conversation absolutely the worst. Lets hit the food next, because it was the second least offensive thing. So, the crab dip we got was... burned, dry, lacking, small, and provided a half-cut piece of bread. The hushpuppies were just balls of dry grease that sat in your mouth and stomach. The crab soup was okay, not horribly offensive but the portion size was completely unacceptable. Barely even a cup of soup for $10? Okay, right. My wife's chicken was raw, not a little under, raw. The portion sizes for the platters are generally unacceptable for the price, a single crabcake for $27? You're right by the water friend you can pluck the crabs right on out so don't tell me it costs you $27 to take maybe a single large crab and dump enough breadcrumbs into it to dry it out. The only acceptable food item was the boiled crabs. And honestly thats not a complement, I love crab, and they're almost impossible to mess up so if you'd managed it I would have to demand a 0 star option. Now for what was easily the most offensive issue of the evening. The service was horrific. We were seated, it took 10 minutes for our drink order, another 15 to get the drinks! Then he comes back, takes our food order, and one would think that he would time the appetizers to come out first. Nope, it all came out at once so nobody got a chance to enjoy the apps which, honestly didn't matter they weren't good. The server came back to check on us a single time, no drink refills, no verifying the food was good, cooked right, etc. The genuinely worst service I've experienced in all of Rehoboth. Friends yelp only lets me leave 1 star as my lowest, I would really give this a 0. Tl:DR tourist trap with bad food and worse service. Avoid. read more

We checked this place out to use a gift card we had. We were hoping to get some All You Can Eat (AYCE) steamed crabs. Our waiter was super nice and very attentive. The crabs, however, were waaaaay overcooked mush. The waiter and manager made it right in the end. They tried another batch that unfortunately came to me just like the first, absolute mush. The manager apologized and personally oversaw a third attempt that came out MUCH better, thankfully. The crabs had lots of seasoning and were the right spice level. We enjoyed the corn on cob a lot and the freshly fried hush puppies. The cup of soup that came with the crabs was really tasty. They have a nice draft beer selection to choose from and ample seating for larger families. read more

Stopped by here since it was close by to our hotel! We were very hungry after a road trip to the beach and were pleasantly surprised with how good the raw oysters here were. The HH deals are very affordable and the drinks were good! The bartender was friendly and attentive, the hours of this place would be my only complaint as I wish they were open during lunch! read more

Decent drinks. A bit dated, and run down. you can tell they close for winter. The staff was kind and food was decent, but had a funky, musty smell from the bar.my clams were good but not hot- my friend had the carb cake and it had alot of crab- no filler . Great, cheap beer options. Would maybe go back for happy hour? read more

We've been there twice with out of town guests and enjoyed the experience. We'll definitely be back.

Came to Crab house for some drinks and crabs, but I ended up ordering the Nashville-style fried chicken and my wife ordered the seafood patter the food was good 10/10. We aren't going to spend money on some baby crabs With no meat read more

Unfortunately, the crabs were very inconsistent. Several of the batches were mushy and lacked the quality I expected. A few crabs were better than others, but overall the experience was disappointing considering the price. The service and atmosphere were good, and the staff was friendly, but the quality of the crabs needs significant improvement. Consistency is key, and right now it's too much of a gamble whether you'll get a good batch or not. read more

This place is definitely hit or miss. Many times the crabs come out mushy other times they are good. If you get mushy crabs definitely send them back. With all the reviews that mention mushy crabs it's hard to imagine why they haven't figured out how to cook them. It's a crab house for goodness sake! read more

Great deal for meaty crabs! Oysters were sweet and crisp. Love this place! I have to come back here when they open again in May. read more

Last Saturday, arrived at around 7:30 pm, hoping for AYCE crab. We were told that now that we were on the list, even if we were seated after 8 pm (cut-off for AYCE) we could still partake. We waited for about 15 minutes and were seated. Whew! Made it! We like this place. The first order of AYCE crabs ($59) was 6 medium (they actually looked large) MD blue crabs with a full ear of corn and hush puppies. The crabs were coated with an Old Bay seasoning. I don't AYCE crabs, but my partner does. They really went to town, tools in hand with crab parts flying. There's a large trash can next to the table to conveniently dispose of shell and other parts. They said it was great. I only got a little crab fly onto my arms and eyes. The staff came by asking if we wanted more and two times my partner said yes. Each time, they received 3 big crabs. A dozen in all. I went in a different direction. I got the soup of the day (pumpkin soup with crab meat - $9) and the Sussex County Special ($31). Oh, my. The soup was outstanding. Nine dollars seemed high for a bowl of soup, but there was a lot of small bits of crab in it, and it was delicious. And I'm not even a big pumpkin person. It was worth it. The Sussex County Special was an "interesting"collection of things - fried catfish, 2-pieces of fried chicken, Carolina pulled pork BBQ and two sides. The catfish was tender and flavorful, with a not too thick batter. The chicken was moist and just greasy enough. The cup of pulled pork BBQ was great - the meat was delicious and the BBQ sauce was outstanding. I was so full from the other items that I sadly had to leave much of the BBQ uneaten. I got fries and vegis for my sides. The fries were boardwalk fries and were good. The vegi was cooked properly and not mushy. The price for AYCE crabs seems very reasonable. The price for the soup and the entree also was appropriate. There are a few AYCE crab places in Rehoboth Beach and nearby, but this is one we find to have consistently good crabs, good service and a pleasant atmosphere. We'll likely come back next season. read more

This establishment is extraordinary!!! Highly recommended the atmosphere is astonishing! Our server Jack was very attentive and kind. The food was amazing! Definitely a place to visit if you're in Rehobeth!!! read more

All the food was great. Our server Matthew was amazing very kind and helpful. The crabs were the perfect size.

If I could give the Crab House a 10 star rating I would. first, I was greeted very kindly by a host and taken to our table then were handed complimentary popcorn. Our server, Sara, was so friendly and kind and we got our food very quickly and didn't have to wait long at all even though the restaurant was packed. The food was delicious and I will be becoming a regular here. read more

The service was good, everyone was polite and respectful. The food on the other hand...the crabs are steamed, but filled with water, the "mustard" was green, they tasted foul and were squishy. There was a hair in our cheesesteak, the fish and chips has no flavor and seasoned with salt and pepper. They were very nice about it and gave no problems, which is the only reason they got 2 stars. read more

Four of us went to Crab House last Wednesday for hard shells. We had been there many times in the past and were happy with the quality of the crabs but it had been a couple of years. This time was different. To put it bluntly, the crabs were awful. The claws were barely edible and the meat in the body was pure mush. And $150 for "large" crabs. The owners had to know the poor condition of the crabs and still marketed them as fresh. I will not be going back. read more

Wow. Wow. Wow. These guys have crabs for dayz and let me tell you they are what the French would call "delicioso." From start to finish the whole experience was great and our server Matt really made Crab House feel like a Crab Home. read more

Had a great experience at Crab House! The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and came out hot. The portions were generous, and the atmosphere made it a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. Big shoutout to my boy Matthew for always being welcoming and providing great service. I'll definitely be coming back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for good seafood in Rehoboth Beach! read more

We went to the Crab house for a family get together and had the snow crab legs. We had a very friendly waitress Kiersten. She promptly greeted us and all of our food came super fast, was warm, and tasted wonderful. We plan to visit again this summer. read more

I was a little hesitant about this place given some of the negative reviews but was pleasantly surprised. We were there early and were seated right away. Our server Ellie was delightful and very attentive. The beer came in a well frosted mug which made it extra special. We only had crabs and boiled shrimp but both were tasty. The crabs were medium sized and pricey but we expected a to pay that. Overall our experience was very positive. read more

The absolute worst crabs in my 54 years. They were inches below the regulations as mediums. Mediums are sized between 5.5" - 6". There were crabs less than 4 inches. They were all mush. Fries horrible. Hush puppies horrible. Steamed shrimp was the only saving grace. But still not good. Atlas you should do better. $400 for the worst dinner ever.... read more

We were vacationing in Rehoboth and picked this restaurant on a whim... absolutely delicious! Casual, cute restaurant..large bar area with high top tables where you could order from the happy hour menu. Our server was very friendly and attentive. My husband order the AYCE blue crabs...pretty meaty & came with delicious sides, corn & crab chowder, corn on the cob, and hush puppies. I ordered the crabcake, very good with lots of crab meat and little filler! The only complaint was that the crab dip appetizer came out well after our meals, but it was delicious! read more

We went to crab house with my son for big crabs but too sad because they didn't have big ones only extra small ones so I get the ayce it was juice and tasty the crab soup I loved it, and he got the carb cake with coleslaw and corn on the cab was good. We ask a for refill service came back too late but the food was delicious read more

The Blue Catfish was tasty but overcooked. The portion was probably 2-3 oz. The green beans were soggy and overcooked. The corn on the cob was starchy. Probably old. The fish and chips were drenched in oil-the result of frying in oil that was not hot enough. And extremely salty. So were the clam strips-oily. Maybe the crabs are good? Overall, the place is a waste of good money. You'd think being by the ocean would get someone (me) a decent meal-not. read more

The restaurant was a little run down with cracks in the flooring and missing a TV above our table. The water had an aftertaste and I told the manager, who told me that it is simply that way the water is for the area. The coleslaw was terrible . . . I returned it and was given hush puppies, which needed powdered sugar on them. My Fish & Chips were decent and the french fries were good. The star of my meal was the tarter sauce. The crab cake was good. The waitress was friendly and accommodating. read more

Great server and manager. The seafood boil was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Loved it! read more

I wasn't particularly impressed by the texture of the crabmeat here. I ordered a crab cake platter and instead of lump crab the meat was overly shredded which didn't make for a very pleasant meal. Additionally I found the hush puppies to be dry and the coleslaw to be lacking any punch of flavor. Unfortunately would not recommend this spot. read more

I came to Crab House on a Tuesday evening. The parking lot is tight and compact, so we parked a little further out so we wouldn't worry about our car getting dinged. It was busy inside, but luckily we were seated within about 10 minutes of putting ourselves down on the waitlist. I ordered the Broiler Crab Cake Sandwich that comes with all jumbo lump crab meat, potato bun, tartar and fries. The sandwich was delicious and filled with crab meat... they did not skimp! I really liked the fried here too, perfect crisp outer layer and soft potato filling on the inside. Overall I enjoyed the food. My only issue here was that the servers kept choosing to plate every dish by going over my son's head. Hot sauce was dripping off one of the plates and I had to literally hold a napkin above his head so it wouldn't drip onto him. It was busy and perhaps the servers weren't thinking clearly, but this was a hazard waiting to happen.... Therefore I would say that this is not an ideal spot for families with kids. read more

Hands down the absolute BEST spot to get your crab fix. This is a stop my boyfriend and I ALWAYS have to stop by when we are in the area. Literally always a highlight of our trip to the beach. The service here is always so friendly and welcoming. Our server was very personable (I wish I got her name) and took amazing care of us. You get welcomed with fresh popcorn to start--so addicting and lovely snack to munch on before your food comes out. The Maryland blue crabs here is definitely on the pricier side than most of the crab places I go to, but it is absolutely worth it! They have such a consistent system down with cooking their crabs and providing large heavy crabs. The crabs are sweet, perfectly cooked and meaty. My boyfriend and I always get here just a little before opening at 4pm to get their Jumbo Crabs (they sell out quickly). We were so lucky to get half a dozen this Jumbo Crabs, which is $17 per crab and then we also ordered half a dozen of x-large crabs for $80. Well worth it! We also got some Fried Clam Strips, which is perfectly battered, so crispy and portion was plentiful. I love the ambiance here, tables are far apart, trash cans next to your tables ready to dispose of all the crab shells. (I love it so much more than buckets that take up space on the table) amazing idea! Can't wait for our next time back! read more

I hate leaving this review, but feel an obligation to warn other tourists. We wish we were warned. We were at the Crab House during our recent vacation in Rehoboth Beach. Being a town known for its seafood, my son wanted to try a place with all you can eat crab. Upon walking in it was empty. Upon leaving it was almost empty except for the bar. This should have been our first warning. If the locals don't go there, they know something we don't. The place is dated. It did not "feel" clean. At the end of your table is a huge outdoor garbage can for your shells? There were several black flys flying around our table. The food was just not good. The clam strips were way too salty and tasted like fried breading and no clam. The corn was tough. The crab was a lot of work with very little meat. The margarita's were on a dive bar level. All cheap sour mix in a tall glass. We overheard someone at the bar complain and reorder theirs twice. They finally gave up and asked for a refund. Our waitress was sweet, but came off as detached and disinterested. Our interactions were minimal. We had to wait a long time for her to come back to the table to request melted butter, which was not provided with our meal. A group of waitresses were all talking at the bar. The best part of the meal was the corn chowder. We had a lot of meals out while there. This place was not even close to our other experiences. All this for almost $300 for 4 people. It felt like they weren't even trying. read more

The snow crab was delicious. The blue crab was fresh and delicious too! We sat at a long table with paper tablecloth to accommodate crabs and messy meals. The Delaware steam pot had crab, corn, potatoes, clams, and oysters and my husband thought it was great! The crab house was great for our family of 8 plus a child. We wanted 12 large crabs but they had mediums and extra large crabs. The drinks were good too. read more

As soon as we sat down for dinner, we were notified that in order to get crabs we would have to come to the restaurant early as soon as they open. We had no idea about it. So we did the AYCE medium crabs instead. Ordered Crab Balls which was good and also Crab Mac & Cheese which also was good. 8/10 Felt the place was disorganized and out of hand. Hoped it would go smoothly. Our waitress was new so she did her best to serve us. But we would ask other servers to tell what we needed since our waitress forgets stuff. But we weren't going to be snobby/rude about her and her tip. read more

Decided to stop by while visiting Rehoboth Beach, as one of my travel mates is completely wild about crabs. In addition to a half dozen of extra large crabs, I also got the Maryland crab cakes entree. The crab cakes were pretty good - it was not too oily and there were large chunks of crab meat. The sides of coleslaw and fries were also delicious. But the winner for the night were the crabs! The meat was so fresh and the seasoning just enhanced the experience. Along with the extra friendly staff, it really made for a good dining experience! read more

Was really disappointed with the quality here. My mother's lobster was literally full of waste all down the middle, it was full of so much dark black waste and it was so disgusting. The steam pot was really cold. The appetizers are good but the main stars of the show just don't shine. I wouldn't recommend this place, there's better offerings at Dewey Rehoboth and for better prices. Smallest Maine lobster I ever saw in my life, everything was cold, they couldn't take any of it back or compensate. At least the staff are good and friendly. I would say the Cocktails are okay and the draft beer is good Over still a disappointing experience. read more
