    Buffalo wings, with celery and carrots

    This was my first time going to this restaurant. The food was great and very plentiful. The service was very fast, considering that we had a lot of people who came to my sister's birthday celebration. The ambiance was very nice. I had the Riggins Sea Raft $28.95, which was 3 1/2 sides of fried catfish, shrimp, clams, oysters, 2 pieces of cod and a blue crab. It was enough for 2 people! It was a lot of food for the price. I also had a Caesar salad and a loaded baked potato. The platter had so much food on it, I bought some home for another meal! To drink I had me a Mountain Dew, with free refills. The other people there also enjoyed the food and great service!

    Crab sushi. Amazing!

    Paul and I went back to Riggins crab house on Wednesday because my goal was to have their sushi and crabcake for dinner. We shared both dishes and it was up to our expectations. It was a wonderful meal and the service was great. The crabcake came with coleslaw and one side and we added another side so we would both have a corn on the cob. There was an up charge for the linguine with the crab sauce. We did not have room for dessert, but Paul did have a nice couple of beers. This is not a fancy place but it's a lot of fun and casual. It's a great place to come with friends to enjoy an easy night out. The sushi is only served on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The place is closed on Monday and Tuesday.

    Local staple to the seafood delicacy of the town! For years my colleagues have spoken wonders about this location saying their crab is heavenly , tastes fabulous and good for family gatherings. Today at the table I choose the mushroom crab and soup- I would not recommend the conch as I have had authentic Bahamian and this was more minestrone when I requested to change to chowder it was fantastic! My friends taught me the skill of breaking the crab and how to have the variety of flavors all in the bucket. Essential for large family gatherings and the house was full of groups. It gets very busy out the door on major holidays but the service was quick, food and as delicious and parking in the future will fill up.

    Every single time we visit the area this is a must do stop. We came in for Sunday lunch and was seated immediately. The staff is always super friendly and was happy to have us there. The ambiance was nice and inviting. Restaurant was clean and the music was enjoyable. For food: we started with 3 appetizers. Crab cake, lobster bits, and spinach and artichoke dip. Everything was fresh and a great portions. Their strawberry lemonade is delicious for entrees we got the snow crabs, blue crabs, burger, surf and turf burger and fries. All delicious! Can't wait to come back next trip to try some more menu items.

    Yet another excellent visit. Food was fantastic. Service was great! The crab nachos were amazing!! The blue crabs were seasoned and cooked to perfection. I will continue to come back!!

    Linguine
    Mike S.

    Rigging Crabhouse turned out to be a really pleasant spot for a relaxed seafood meal. I started with the fried soft-shell crab appetizer, which was a standout right away; crispy on the outside, tender inside, and a great way to ease into the meal. The Caesar salad that followed was cold, crisp, and nicely dressed, with that classic, familiar flavor that just feels right with seafood. For my main, I had the blackened mahi-mahi sandwich with a side of rice pilaf and linguine in a light butter-and-oil sauce. The mahi was fresh, nicely seasoned, and cooked just right. The rice pilaf was fluffy and well seasoned without being salty, a simple but solid side that soaked up the flavors from the fish. The linguine was a nice change of pace. It was light, not weighed down with a heavy sauce, with just enough butter and oil to coat the pasta and make it feel comforting without being too rich. I finished with a flaming crème brûlée, which was a fun touch and a nice way to end the meal. The caramelized top had a good crack to it, and the custard underneath was smooth and enjoyable. Overall, it was a comfortable, low-key experience with good food, thoughtful sides, and a dessert that rounded out the whole visit.

    Our group had such an awesome time last Saturday night for dinner... There were five of us -we requested a hightop table in the bar area, and between the great service, the great food and the dive bar/crab house vibe, it was an experience to remember! Dave was our waiter (maybe even overheard he was one of the owners?) And he was super informative and helpful in terms of what to order. Hot tip - he asked us if we had reserved any crabs for our Maryland crab order and we hadn't so keep that in mind... They will accept holding crab for your party. We opted to go with a dozen of the large Maryland blue crabs. They are steamed in beer and vinegar and topped with an old bay type seasoning that was not overpowering... You can get butter, garlic, butter vinegar whatever you want on the side, the butter was really a nice touch. They had other sized crabs, including small/medium, jumbo and colossal, but from experience, we know that the smaller the crab, the sweeter the meat, but we didn't want to be picking for hours so we went with the large and we were totally pleased! I would go with the large again! We were with an experienced crab eater, but if we were not, Dave would've given us a demonstration on how to eat it properly and get as much meat out as you can. Four of us shared a dozen crab and a rack of ribs. It was actually the perfect amount of food. Though I could've eaten more crab lol We were there for 2 1/2 hours- I always love a dinner that is the main event! To finish up, we all shared a piece of the Keylime pie and it was very very good. Highly recommend checking this place out!

    This review is 3.5 stars...wish Yelp allowed 1/2 stars. Their seafood is really good! I had a crabcake sandwich that was delicious, all crab, no filler. It came with one side, I chose asparagus, it was a large portion. One of my friends had the double lobster tails and really enjoyed them. Another had 1/2 dozen Maryland crabs. When we arrived the staff at the front desk mentioned the berry cobbler, which needed to be ordered 20 minutes in advance and was enough for 2 people. I ordered it and was disappointed. It is enough for 2 people, however it's not a cobbler, it has pie crust on top, which is heavy. Cobbler should have a light, crumbly topping. For $15, they could have given you 2 scoops of ice cream, instead of 1 since 2 people are eating it.

    Stone crab
    Raymond K.

    We having been going here from time to time over the years. Recently I won a stone crab dinner for two from an Instagram giveaway. I made a 6:30 reservation for a very busy Friday night. The stone crabs were amazing. I also ordered the French onion soup, Holy Moly delicious. We had two cocktails, which were very good also. If you do not arrive at a early time, their parking lot will probably be full, and you have to park in the supermarket parking lot. They have a separate bar, which is usually packed. For a seafood place , the prices are pretty reasonable. Plenty of items on the menu to choose from. All the appetizers that were coming out all looked very good. Our server was great, a huge thank you to the Riggins owner for doing such a great giveaway.

    First visit... Love it here. Laid back, authentic, high quality, family atmosphere. Wow, the chow if fresh, delish! Started with Lump Crabmeat Cocktail... great. Heard the Onion Soup was good... it is! The Stuffed Lobster is "stuffed" with their crab cake, placed on top. So good. Sides of Cole Slaw and their Potatoes... perfect. Service from Shana was awesome! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    Medium Blue Crabs
    Gladys P.

    Found this restaurant accidentally (just got off the freeway to get gas) and so glad we did! Haven't had Maryland-style crabs since I was up there about twenty years ago. So good and so worth the effort to crack the crabs open. Glad I got the medium size instead of the half-dozen of small crabs, that would have been a lot of work! Unfortunately my fiancée didn't like his order. He really wanted the Admiral Platter but they ran out of king crabs. He got the Riggins Sea Raft instead, not knowing that almost everything was breaded.

    Came here with some friends for a late lunch after church. The atmosphere was relaxed, but the service was noticeably slow but we packed our patience. That said, our waitress was very kind and did her best, even though she was clearly overwhelmed by the busy Sunday crowd. I kicked things off with a strawberry margarita with a sugar rim. Sweet, smooth, and surprisingly strong. One was all I needed to start the afternoon off right! For my entrée, I went with the grilled salmon and a loaded baked potato, with scampi butter on the side. It took about an hour for our meals to arrive, which was frustrating, but we made the best of it. The salmon itself was just okay. Cooked well but lacking in flavor. Thankfully, the scampi butter added a nice boost. The real standout of the meal, though, was the loaded baked potato. Hot, hearty, and loaded with toppings. I was satisfied. Overall, the experience was a mixed bag: good company, a tasty drink, and a delicious side, but weighed down by the long wait and underwhelming entrée. I might have to stick to the crab legs here.

    Maryland Crab Soup

    First time dining at bar. With Amanda's hospitality, it will not be last. Even the medium blue crabs are meaty and flavored the only way known to a Marylander! I gotta stop typing and enjoy this feast!

The packaging dims the smell but I drive home eager to get into my crawfish. I ordered pound of crawfish, juicy special medium that includes corn and potato. I got pound of crawfish, garlic lemon pepper butter, something milder than medium, two eggs, potato, and corn. All good just no heat. (For some reason only a much older receipt is attached to review.) That order was perfect, the costumer service was horrendous. Service not great now but it shows improvement.

We came here for dinner last night and we were seated with a direct ocean view. This is one of the few places that is literally on the beach that you can have dinner. It was around 7 PM so there was shade and cool evening ocean breezes We ordered the whole snapper which was a whopping 2 1/2 pounds and the grouper. The snapper was obviously meant for two people because of the amount of rice and vegetables they included with the snapper. It was excellent. The grouper came in some type of coconut sauce, which was amazing. We were dipping our snapper in the sauce for the grouper. If I was to make any type of recommendation, I would recommend adding a side of this sauce to the snapper and that would just make it a perfect dish I had a watermelon Mojito. The drinks here are ridiculously expensive at $17 a cocktail. And it's not like they come in a huge glass. They come in a regular wine glass. They do say that all the ingredients are natural and nothing is artificial, so maybe it's worth it to pay that much to not have a bunch of junk in your drinks. The service was slow. Although friendly. When we arrived, there was not that many people eating so I was surprised when after 30 minutes we still had not gotten the cocktails. Our waiter said it was because there was only one bartender and he was 15 minutes behind on his orders. I find this pretty amazing that a restaurant like Benny's cannot hire more than one bartender so that the people who come and pay what is not really a moderate amount but pretty expensive for their entrées, but still have to wait 20 minutes to get their drinks. It was only for this that I took off a star. When I order a cocktail, I like it brought out within five minutes and not to drink during my dinner. Dinner was also very slow and we got our entrées about 45 minutes after our order. But all in all, it was an amazing experience and we will be back.
