    The food was excellent. The bill with a tip already on the it, and being sneaky with an additional tip spot- not cool. We were two people and would have given a bigger tip if one was not already on the bill. Mr Crab made a strong drink for my husband and my non alcoholic strawberry daiquiri was a nice change from my regular water or soda. To start off we shared a lobster bisque. Minimal seafood in the soup but what they had wad good quality and the creamy base - delicious. My fried shrimp had a nice thick breading, plenty of shrimp, good tarter sauce and coleslaw. My fries I prefer crispier. My husband went with a lobster tail seafood boil. The tail itself was on the smaller side but packed with meat. Minimalist spot with good food!

    This is my first visit here. Others in my party have been here before. I am giving it a 4-star because the service was a little slow especially with the drinks. Even the second round of drinks was slow. Maybe they were short staffed on a Wednesday night. However, the drinks were good. The seafood platter and the lobster salad were repeaters from others. They really enjoyed both dishes. The chicken teriyaki looked over sauced. The lobster roll was delicious. A good place for mid-week dinner.

    We've been hearing how great Mr Crab is from so many people and finally checked it out and yup, they are right! What a hidden gem. It's great comfort food and the seafood boil was finger licking flavorful. Service was friendly and ambiance was fun and lively. Can't wait to return and endulge in the near future.

    Fried oysters

    First time customer for take out. I live so close and delivery was about 40 mins after order received. Ordered the fried oysters, lobster mac and cheese ( based on others glowing reviews) and coleslaw. Fried oysters were hot upon arrival-tasted fresh-battered perfectly. Pretty good. Great tarter sauce. First bite into mac and cheese-which was also hot- I was not blown away..kind of a strange taste..not at creamy, dry noodles, but I forged on. Found maybe at most a Tbsp of lobster-all in miniscule cuts, which were so dry and rubbery that I could not even say it was lobster. Definitely some form of imitation seafood-or dyed horribly old frozen lobster. Did not look or taste like lobster. Prices exorbitant but I was willing to pay the additonal $11.00 add on for quality, fresh lobster. I did not get that. Coleslaw was decent but would not return for this. I will not be frequenting this establishment and would not recommend.

    Seafood Boil

    My friends and I got the seafood boil, which was our first time trying it. It was a good price and they gave a decent amount of seafood. Their crab seemed to be frozen because it was hard to get the meat out. The veggies in the boil were fantastic. Especially the corn! The clam chowder and lobster bisque were also great!

    Happened to be seeing a show in the are and needed a place to have lunch with the family. We happened to find this place that was not too far from where we were. We went on a Sunday they were able to sit my large group of 13 people. We ordered drinks to start. They have unlimited drinks for brunch but they also have a variety of cocktails. I ordered the drunken gummy bears cocktail and the Honey comb. Both were really good! For food I ordered the clam chowder soup, which I liked that it was not salty or too heavy. And for main course I had the Connecticut lobster roll and it came with fries. Good portions, the lobster roll was fresh and the fries were seasoned. Pamela was our server and she was so friendly, patient with our group and very helpful. She was the best and made our experience the best. I recommend this place. They can sit large groups, have really good seafood and awesome drinks.

    Quick bite with friends and it was soo good . The Service was amazing and the food was fhor and good. Can't wait to try it again!

    The price was very affordable which was amazing when I saw how big the portion was. Let's just say I have food for days now. I was very pleased at how delicious everything was. Service was great and the staff was super nice. The clam chowder needed a bit more pepper and it was a little sad when I heard the staff singing happy birthday because they sounded miserable. Those were just a few things that may need improvement but iverall I'll still give the place 5 star because I had a great experience.

    Lots of seating.

    This place was not bad at all but we just stopped in for the first time for Apps in the afternoon so I do not know how they are at night. We had no wait and our food came out quickly. I say this because in a review or two I noticed people talking about the service being slow. It really wasn't when I was there. And everyone seemed friendly as well. I just got some wings and they were pretty good for sure. I plan to go back and maybe this time for dinner. I really did not have all that much to eat but I posted what I could. I like the atmosphere as well. It is casual but not to the point where it fels to casual..if that makes any sense. Anyway..it seems like a fun place. And the prices made it really worth it as well. It was a good choice and one I hope to repeat as I would like to try other things on their menu.

    The Fish & Chips were great and plentiful! The clam chowder was one of the best I've had in Western Connecticut! Definitely going back!

    BRYAC is a wonderful spot in Black Rock section of Bridgeport. The atmosphere is warm, the food is…read moreconsistently good , dine inside or outside and the music later is always great! Service is with a smile. Sometimes there is a little wait because most dishes are made fresh. BRYAC has excellent lobster rolls, fresh shucked oysters and clams and shellfish served different ways. If you like steak, beef or chicken you will always find something to your liking. The prices vary which is not unusual with fresh seafood. The ambiance is great and welcoming to people of all ages. There is always a small selection of nice desserts. I look forward to the fried ice cream! Oh l forgot to mention, the beverage menu is complete from beers to cocktails! Soft drinks always. You will not be disappointed

    Whatever reason, I thought I did a review on this place years ago, as I've been coming here for…read moreyears, and I always have given it 4 1/2 five star rating because the food was fantastic and they had by far the best clam chowder ever. It was a type of place that I would say don't judge a book by its cover, it was a sneaky good place with incredible and creative seafood options. The lobster pot pie was delicious, the lobster quesadilla out of this world, the steak tips, very tender, oyster, Rockefeller, sinfully addictive... a lot of great offerings. Came back after a long time of not being here back in the fall and had a wonderful experience with my girlfriends. Came back today, and it was absolutely catastrophic! I don't know if it's under new management, but the whole place was chaotic, the service was awful, and the food was terrible... The clam chowder wasn't clammy in flavor like it used to be, it it was heavily laden with bacon bits, which, if you're a bacon fan is all the way for you, but I'm getting clam chowder, not bacon chowder. I ordered the mac & cheese lobster which was described as a creamy mac & cheese with lobster and truffle oil... There was not one single sign of truffle oil on this dish at all. It actually did have generous amounts of lobster, but it was far from creamy and the pasta itself was dry. My other half had the fried clams, they rate as some of the worst clams we have ever tried, and the portion was extremely skimpy, and the clam composition was mostly that grizzle! ( the attached photo is the dish as it was delivered to us... It had not yet been touched. )The fries were ice cold, and to boot what made it worse, no signs of life from our server...hello, hello...I felt like Adele! The gentleman who took our order was busy going outside, taking care of the tables outside went by us countless times and didn't even pay mind to us-you've thought we were invisible! The other waitresses that walked by, couldn't even understand body language, maybe they did, but didn't care because it wasn't their table, but we sat there for 40 minutes and no one ever came to check on us. Never had this issue with this place before, which makes me think that it's really under new management, given how the food was, and the lack of care of the personnel. I doubt I will be coming back here again given the experience, and I never do this, but for the first time ever I didn't leave a tip because they were not deserving of a tip. We finished our sodas, we were thirsty, and we were never offered anything more to drink. Why - because again no one came to check on us. When I finally called one of the waitresses over, she came and asked if I want to wrap up the food and I told her I needed a container and I pointed to my husband's food and I told her that the clams were god awful and why they were bad and unfortunately, we were neglected by our server and all other staff for that matter. She told me she would take the clams off the bill and she would come back with a container for my dry lobster mac & cheese. Five minutes goes by no sign of the waitress 10 minutes goes by no sign of the waitress or my container, finally I call the person who looked like she was manning the floor and checked on all other tables and how they were doing except for OURS Was there something wrong with us? We weren't dressed like bums, we sat in the corner, we didn't have extra sets of eyes, we didn't have an extra arm attached to our body, we were just regular, typical people, but she ignored us. Bill came out to $33.50 for bacon chowder, dried lobster mac & cheese, and two Ginger ales... Never again! Honestly, the way we were treated was shameful, hopefully they learn from this lesson and they do better... No one deserves this, especially with the cost of food these days. It took us 50 minutes to get here, and we made it a trip because we've had great experiences in the past, but seeing that all three dishes were disappointing makes me believe that this is not the same place that it used to be.

    Interesting experience. First, we really enjoyed the food. From the oysters to the tuna tartare…read moreto the mussels to the shortbread Mac and cheese every item was excellent. The staff was very nice but very very green. I saw a couple things that I've never seen before. My conclusion was that they are, like many places, having trouble finding experienced help so they are hiring inexperienced help and they're just too busy to train them. It's not uncommon but it did stand out for us here. If you go here I recommend being prepared for that. We were here in early May and maybe by June it won't be an issue. My one knock that is a big one for me but might not be for you is the requirement to order everything at once. I hate that. If we don't return this will be why. It makes me feel like I'm working for them vs the other way around. Often I change my mind over the appetizer. I might see a dish go by that looks great or I may have a seafood app that is so good I decide to stay with seafood. I know all the arguments about the kitchen being more efficient, etc. but having worked in the business for a couple decades I know that it's not really a big deal to order in stages, particularly with all the technology they have today that we didn't back then. I just really hate having to order my whole meal before I've settled in with my first drink. But if that's not a big deal for you, maybe you always get the same thing or you like it that way, then you'll really like South Bay -Fairfield. The food here is excellent!

    Service was exceptional, drinks were made well. Food was very tasty. Ordered 5 appetizers which…read morewere delicious and very large quantities. Enough to fill us and certainly didn't have to order main courses . Would certainly go back again.
