Family and kid friendly space with interactive games and toys. Even with a good number of people around, it was fairly quiet and relaxing. The bartender was friendly, gave good food recommendations, and the drinks were perfect for a warm, sunny day out at the oceanfront. We ordered the crab dip that came with pretzel bites, a nice twist on the typical dip. It was a favorite with everyone at the table. As well as the Animal burger, Philly cheesesteak, and crab legs. Great bucket margaritas and piña coladas. Friendly service, good food with reasonable pricing, refreshing drinks, and chill ambiance. Will definitely visit again!

So I cannot remember the bartenders name. I am told its Ashley, but I do not believe it. Either…read moreway she had a huge personality and the place was like a cheers situation where everyone knew everyone and if they didn't they all talked to you anyway. I personally Did not take pictures because I was told it is scheduled to close and be demolished come the end of the year so I am sad about that. I was there a few years ago and had to seek it out this trip as well. Now the food. The seafood pasta deluxe was worth it. The stuffed mushrooms I would have again. I personally was not a fan of the Rockefeller oysters, the raw oysters were better and I am not a typical fan of raw seafood. But I would do the raw oysters way before the Rockefeller once again my opinion. The drinks had a great balance. Keep hope alive and hopefully their legacy lives on.

Our waitress, Tina, was very nice and attentive and we were able to order our food right away. She was also very knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere was a little dark and coastal/beach/seafood themed. There were also a lot of flies but I wasn't too turned off because it's the summer and I know flies can sneak in. What did turn me off was that we ordered theraw oyster appetizer and found a hair in one after I ate one. I told Tina and she said the manager took it off our tab. Then I went to eat another one and found another hair. Very disappointed and disgusted. It ruined our meal. We also ordered the shrimp basket where the shrimp were huge but in my opinion lacked flavor but my husband ordered the fried flounder and it was delicious! They also add an automatic 18% gratuity.

While in the area looking for a bite to eat on a Wednesday evening, my friend and I happened to…read morestop by a nearby restaurant in the neighborhood. Since there was an hour wait at that restaurant, we decided on HK on the Bay. Thankfully, there wasn't a wait at all so we were seated right away. Our server came to our table right away and gave us time to look over the menu. We were very intrigued with all the menu options. They offer normal bar-type food like wings, fries, nachos and egg rolls but they also offer meatloaf, fajitas, chicken & dumplings and seafood as well. I decided on the Crab Dip, Loaded Brussels Basket and Southwest Egg Rolls and my friend ordered the HK Rolls and a side of Garlic Risotto. The food was served fairly quickly and everything was pretty good. The Loaded Brussels were my favorite; however, I probably wouldn't get the Gouda on it next time. I tasted my friend's HK Rolls and they weren't bad, not my favorite though. Since it was Wednesday, I inquired about their "$.75 Wing Deal" and the server said the deals are over at 9pm, even though they close at 10pm. I thought that was very odd to end their specials before the place closed and since it was a little after 9pm, it would've been nice to know that in advance. Overall, we had a nice experience. HK definitely seems like a local's favorite. The food is tasty, the place is clean and the staff is very nice.

Finally I got up and relieved myself of the partially digested crab in my stomach. I was finally able to go to sleep once I emptied my stomach. I went back to Coastal Grill today and explained to the manager what had happened. She said no one else had complained so it must have been my fault. I won't be going back!

The mashed potatoes tasted like boxed and the rice wasn't fluffy (texture was sticky like sushi rice) and it was tasteless. Food was a 4.

I rarely write reviews, but after spending over $250 celebrating my friend's daughter's 16th…read morebirthday at Shaking Crab, I felt compelled to share our experience. From the moment we arrived, the hostess, Milk, was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. She made us feel valued from the start, and throughout the evening she continued to provide excellent service to every table she assisted. She truly deserves recognition and a promotion. Unfortunately, our assigned server provided one of the worst dining experiences I've had. After taking our food and drink order, she returned only with our drinks and then disappeared for 15-20 minutes without checking on us. My friend's daughter's entrée arrived before our appetizers, and our appetizer--fried hard chicken wings--didn't arrive until about 20 minutes later. When we asked about the delay, the server said it was because we requested the wings to be fried hard. She then made a comment about "Black people in the kitchen cooking." Whether she intended it as a joke or not, the comment was unprofessional and made us uncomfortable. Because of the poor service and attitude, we asked if another server could assist us. While Milk continued to be wonderful, another employee with purple-blue hair was also very rude when we asked for assistance. Her attitude was dismissive and unpleasant. Later in the evening, around 11 p.m., I asked a staff member near the kitchen if they had lids for our seafood buckets. She responded "No" with an attitude. I then asked if they had to-go cups, and she said they did but claimed she was off duty. Less than 30 seconds later, she went behind the bar and began making and serving drinks, which made her response even more confusing. Shortly afterward, she began arguing with my friend at our table for no apparent reason. At that point, we asked Milk to get the manager. The manager came over, sat down with us, listened to our concerns, and apologized. He explained that he was actually off that day but had come in to help support the restaurant. We appreciated that he took the time to hear us out and said he would address the issues with his staff. The food itself was good, but good food cannot make up for poor customer service and disrespectful attitudes. We wanted this to be a memorable celebration for my friend's daughter, not an evening spent dealing with rude employees. Customer service is just as important as the food. Sadly, because of the experience we had, we will not be returning. I hope management invests in better customer service training because employees like Milk show what great hospitality should look like, while others left a very negative impression.

We had a big list of potential places to try when we came for our weeklong family trip. After an…read moreafternoon of being a the beach the family was super hungry. My girlfriend and her mom picked bubba's out of our list of about 20. We got there alittle early for dinner. That was a blessing because it got really busy right as we were finishing up. Our servicer was really friendly and helpful. Service speed was just slightly under average. I wish i took pictures of the food because it was all really good. Kids got the steamed clams ( twice) , clam chowder and ceaser salad. It must of been good because it was gone quickly. My girlfriends parents got oyster rockafeller and the fried shrimp dinner. The oyster rockafeller i was told was the best hes had. The shrimp dinner looked amazing and it was more than she could eat. My girlfriend got the stuffed halibut and frys... fish looked great and she said it was good. Frys were of the beer battered type. I ordered a half dozen of raw local clams... id say above average. She crab soup (first time trying it ... so i have no other to compare too), but i liked it . I also got the greek salad that i would have called average. The atmosphere and weather were beautiful. It made for a wonderful experience

We started with the she crab soup and the half-pound of steamed shrimp, and both were outstanding. The she crab soup was rich and flavorful, and the shrimp were perfectly cooked and absolutely drool-worthy. My boyfriend ordered the grilled salmon, and after trying a bite, I have to admit I was a little jealous--it was phenomenal! I ordered the scallops with peppers, onions, and cucumbers. The scallops themselves were cooked perfectly, but the cucumber flavor just wasn't for me. That's purely a personal preference, not a reflection of the quality. My biggest disappointment was the coleslaw, which seemed more like lightly shredded lettuce with a drizzle of Marzetti's dressing than traditional coleslaw. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the food or the view. We waited quite a while before anyone acknowledged our table, and after our order was taken, we never saw our server again until the check arrived. There were no drink refills, no check-in to see how our meals were, and no thank you at the end. Overall, Bubba's has some incredible food and an unbeatable waterfront atmosphere, but the inconsistent service and a couple of underwhelming menu items kept it from being a great experience. It wasn't the best meal I've had, but it certainly wasn't the worst either. I'd definitely come back--for the appetizers, the salmon, and that beautiful view.

I started with a dozen raw oysters (because I could!). They were really big, fresh, and flavorful. I asked for extra horseradish and it was also very fresh. Perfect. I also got the fish tacos and she crab soup as my mains. Good Lord, the tacos were so big and delish. The sauce on the was really fresh and the veggies were crisp too. The fries were nicely seasoned and, for me, they really complimented the fish nicely. The soup was also very good. Tho the chunks of crab were smaller that other soups I've had, there was plenty of crab there! The flavor was super great too. No complaints here at all. And Joslyn was ALWAYS there and very attentive! And take her advice when ordering. She knows what she's talking about. She makes a great margarita too! Really a great place on the water.
