    Came here for Mother's Day and I'm already planning my next trip back. My mom and I were both not crazy hungry, so we shared #4 combo for $55 which has a crab cake, two sides, and I think 3 or 4 crabs. Wow was it good, the corn was fresh and delicious with their melted butter. The crabs were meaty and seasoned perfectly. We both did not love the crab cake, but I am not a huge crab cake person so take that with a grain of salt. The service was super friendly. I did not know they had melted butter out for anyone to grab, so I asked for some and the employee who helped me came out from behind the counter and poured me some, which was so nice. The drinks here are also only $6 for an orange crush, which is almost unheard of for this area. The outside seating makes me feel like im at the beach, and definitely made the experience even better. I also think they have a drive thru which is really cool. Cannot wait to come back!

    Service was friendly and the food was absolutely perfect. Fresh crab cakes done exactly the way I like them, without any nonsense and let the crab shine! Would be back many times if we lived in the area. Great place and great food.

    The build your own boil is excellent. Large shrimp, well seasoned and great price. Also $6 crushes all day long. The hush puppies are also excellent.

    Fresh Fried Clam Strips
    Cearia D.

    Visited here a few days ago. We ordered jumbo crabs (which weren't jumbo), seafood boil , orange pomegranate crush and clam strips. The crabs were ok I've had better and bigger. The jumbo were $125 which was a good price but the size just didn't match the price. The crab legs were extremely small as well. The clam strips were so good and the crush was too. Customer service was good overall but most likely won't be returning.

    We got a crab boil to go and all the seafood (snow crabs, shrimp, muscles, and crawfish) were dried out and fishy, it almost tasted reheated. We've heard good things about crab shack, so I'm hoping it was just a fluke.

    Crab boil with the crab shack blend sauce

    I paid 62 dollars for 7 shrimp and a cluster of crab legs which were just mush . I couldn't even get the meat out the shells. After a few mins the butter turned to sludge. The crab legs also had A fishy taste like they have been reheated more then once. As for the oysters. They were so tiny I couldn't even barely get them off the shell. They did not appear fresh as they were sticky and not wet. I'm very disappointed as I was hoping for the food to be good.

    Their crabs are so meaty and we absolutely loved the service! Really appreciate that they allow you to choose the spice level since we personally do not love too much old bay seasoning on our crabs! We like crabs with old bay, not old bay with crabs. Also liked that their slaw was not too sweet. Bonus that they have a huge outdoor area that allows pets to chill. ;)

I asked him what he recommended, and I tried the cup of jumbo lump crab chowder. It was amazing, but like he suggested, I needed a little bit more of obey. I started eating before I could say my grace my apologies Jesus. Well, we ordered our food. We got the snow crab legs and he got the shrimp and we got order of hush puppies and let me tell you something and I got a pink lemonade which are my favorite things. I was not expecting the food to be delicious. I thought my eyes were bigger than my stomach and they were ate as much as I possibly could. He had two coronas and so I drove home. I forgot my glasses so we had to drive really really slow. But Isabella, she is amazing. Please give her a raise. She was amazing. She made sure our food was hot. I mean steam was still coming off the snow crab legs. Steam was still coming off the shrimp now how did they pull that off? I don't know it was delicious. I just finished my last cluster of crab legs and I took three pieces of his shrimp. He finished his food last night at work. He took it with him thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you for a delicious meal delicious. I wish I could package it up and stick the restaurant right next-door. It was so delicious and the prices weren't bad. We were deciding where to go. It was either gonna be go kart racing over there at Audubon or dinner. I'll let him choose. I was like well wherever your car takes it is where we go and yes, I'm a huge foodie. I'm a little older so I don't like cleaning crabs. He was like yeah get whatever I don't care and we both agreed on snow crab legs puppies the crab chowder delicious all of the things are delicious. Delicious delicious delicious OK I'm done. Thank you.

We started with the crab balls (yes very plump and crabby), but $21 was a hefty price tag for 5 balls. For food, we both got a broiled crab cake sandwich with a side of fries (I didn't hear this, but my mother-in-law said we couldn't do side substitutions which seems odd?). The sandwich came on a potato bun and had some iceberg lettuce and a sad looking tomato - the crab cake itself was very meaty just not overly flavorful. Also didn't love they used plastic cups for drinks - not a fan of single use plastic! The location / views of the place were nice - it sat overlooking the water, and while we sat inside because it was a little cool, there was outdoor seating for those braving the cooler temperatures.

Ordered a Caesar salad tossed with bacon, because if you're not putting pork in your salad, what are you even doing? Cold, crisp, dressed like it was taking headshots for its modeling portfolio. Then the cream of crab soup showed up -- thick, seasoned, real chunks of crab, not that mystery-flake stuff. It was the kind of soup that makes you stop mid-conversation and reevaluate life. Washed everything down with an orange crush, which went down so easy it should come with a seatbelt. But the real star of the whole visit was Nikki behind the bar. Let me be clear: Nikki ran that bar like NASA counting down to a launch. Full bar of people, drinks flying, food landing, and somehow she made it feel like I was the only one sitting there. Every empty glass was just a short-term inconvenience. Every ask was handled before I even finished the sentence.

She was pregnant and was literally the hardest worker in there! It was busy and I did have to go to the bar to get help but when I said "excuse me" I was rudely told to "hang on" by the bartender.

Crab cake - Delicious! It's hard for me to agree to a crab cake being good, this one was it! Drinks - Great! The other half agrees, we will be back! Not quite 5 stars for me - I'm intricate when it comes to my observations, some plates were chipped, the appetizer ones specifically on our visit. A little help is needed with bussers , and cleanliness.

I started with the steak wedge salad, which was really tasty--the bacon had a slightly sweet flavor that stood out and complemented the dish nicely. For my entrée, I went with the tomahawk pork chop and a loaded baked potato. The pork chop was cooked well and had great flavor overall, though it leaned just slightly on the salty side. Still very enjoyable, especially paired with the potato. Where things really took off was dessert. Our table ordered a few to share--the brownie, chocolate cake, and crème brûlée cheesecake. The brownie was easily my favorite: rich, soft, and topped with caramel sauce alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Definitely the standout of the night. Service from Eli was good--friendly and helpful. I would have appreciated a bit more check-ins throughout the meal, but nothing that took away from the experience.

During a visit about a over a month ago, I observed an interaction between a manager and an employee that felt uncomfortable to witness. From a customer perspective, the tone came across as harsh and seemed more appropriate for a private conversation rather than one happening in front of staff and guests. On a more recent visit, I became concerned after overhearing multiple staff members discussing cleanliness-related issues while I was dining. As a customer, hearing those types of conversations during a meal was unsettling and raised concerns for me about overall food safety and sanitation. I want to be clear that I am only sharing what I personally experienced and overheard during my visits. However, as someone with severe allergies, trust in food handling and cleanliness is extremely important to me, and these experiences made me uncomfortable. Because of this, I felt it was appropriate to bring these concerns to the attention of the appropriate authorities so they can be properly reviewed. I hope management takes the opportunity to evaluate both customer experience and internal practices moving forward, as both staff and guests deserve a safe and respectful environment.
