For 4 shrimp tails was about $30 and for the weight of our lobster was about $40 but they can range from $30-$70 depending on how big it is. It's def worth a try when you go to reading terminal.

I ordered small containers of seafood salad and one broiled crab cake. My husband had Tuna BLT. We apologized to the staff that we didn't realize that they were closing because Google Maps shows that they close at 7. He's very kind and patient, and not making it a big deal. There are plenty of prepared seafood. I had tuna poke with quinoa. Great healthy way to enjoy fresh seafood. Seafood lovers, definitely check out this spot.

OMG! I just seriously pillaged and destroyed a $4.00 sauteed crab from this place. Ok, I've been…read moreon my daughter and son in law to go get me some crabs since Friday and they blew me off. I went online to find someplace to deliver me some Bob's crabs and finally found Postmates. My Postmates driver was on it! I just got my crabs and I totally destroyed one of the sauteed ones. Only because it's so late, I don't have time to devour the other one. I also got four of the $3.00 cooked crabs and ate one of the claws...AWESOME! I can't wait till tomorrow when I have time to eat the rest. Ok, the delivery charges and service charges are outrageous, but I REALLY craved some good crabs so I paid for it but I am savoring every inch of these delicious crabs. I can't go on enough about them. There are places that are closer to me in the neighborhood but they cook dead crabs sometimes and then you get mushy disgusting mess. NEVER that with Bob's. I hope they continue to do business and sate my crabs cravings! YOU GO Bob!

So people were on social media raving about this place. I had a taste and decided to give them a…read moretry. I ordered online. You have to give them at least 30 minutes. I arrived a little early. Parking: tight. They have a little parking lot but that was filled. You can park on the street. They have a walk up window. I gave my number and was told my order would be up. It took more than 30 minutes. I ordered $5 crabs and had them sautéed. There's an extra charge. They came with a sauce. I ordered Buffalo butter. You can order whole crabs. The crabs were ok. They were meaty but I was looking for this great flavor and it wasn't there. I ordered a side of cajun seafood. Omg!! Omg!!!! There was too much cajun seasoning. I could not eat it. Overall I wasn't totally happy with the crabs. I'm not sure what all of the hype was about. I may go back to get whole crabs and make a sauce of my own.

So I was in the South Philly area several months ago and remember that this location was here and…read morehow we used to come here and buy crabs from them. This was my first time actually ordering a platter from them. It's in a busy area so parking is a little hard to do. Pack patients. The lady who answered the phone and took my order was very nice. They were very slow. My order took a very long time. I feel like it was overpriced and they give you these little small potatoes and nothing much. The platter was just OK. I was very disappointed. I was looking forward to a really good seafood platter. I also ordered the cannoli and the shell was stale! The filling was good. So disappointing because I love a good cannoli. Overall, I was disappointed and I'm not sure if I would ever get a platter from them again or any cannolis.

That…read moresaid over the years it has been our go-to, our maybe? and a distant memory for a slew of reasons and change of ownership. In the summertime I practically live on blue crabs and have sourced many places in North Philly to get them. I returned to the Crab Shack yesterday after seeing a revamped operation on social media and their website. We got two dozen and they were cooked perfectly. They also offer an extensive menu of steamed platters with the ubiquitous veggie trio. You can order on line or outside at the store. You can call but I had no luck with that. The young man who worked with me was nice and pleasant. I was allowed inside to look in the cases that had crabs of all sizes already cooked that morning as well as others cooked seafood items. The staff behind the counter are loud and aloof but they care about what they are doing. Give em a try.

The boil had no flavor tastes like water with the everything seasoning. I actually was disgusted with how bad it was typically corn is my favorite and they found a way to F that up. The broccoli was damn near raw. The mussels were just okay. Crab was pitiful and the shrimp was overcooked. Again no flavor. Even the butter didn't taste right. I wouldn't eat here for FREE. Never ever again.
