    A Black Women owned seafood restaurant?! Yess please! I've been coming here for a few years now whenever I'm craving good seafood. I've tried just about everything on the menu and it's all good. My current obsessions are fried salmon bites and the crab and corn chowder soup. One of the owners put me on to the soup and I'm soo glad she did. In addition to food, they also have a small bar for cocktails and a few machines for frozen drinks. They also sell their own hot sauces, a Lemon Pepper and a Hottie Sauce. They Hottie sauce is so good that I got two bottles during my last visit. If you love seafood and want to support a Black Women owned business, then add this place to your list!

    Wow, this restaurant was truly delightful. The conversation with the woman who served us at the register, to the music, to the food options, to the seasoning, to the casual vibe and the DRINKS. It was truly an experience that I would like to have again. I ordered the chicken mac & cheese bowl with collard greens and the lobster chowder (soooo good). It had seasoned rice at the bottom that I ate the next day and it was so delicious. I opted for my sauce to be on the side, which added a nice touch. My boyfriend and I got the black current lemonade with tequila and had to go for another serving because it was so good. My boyfriend got the crab mac & cheese, which was delicious and wonderfully seasoned with a side of fries which we enjoyed. I love the aesthetics of the restaurant and the bathroom. It kind of has a seaside feel that's family friendly and great for spending time with friends and your loved ones. It's kind of tight so i would say make flexible plans if you're coming with a group

    Crab BLT

    Needed a quick bite before I head on my trek back to manhattan. Decided to pop in the Crabby Shack. They had a bunch of options, made it a little bit overwhelming to choose on an item. The staff recommended the Crab BLT, so I opted in for that and a side of fries. It wasn't horrible, but next time i'd choose something else on the menu. The sandwich kept falling apart and was a bit bland. Nice service and clean area!

    Clobster Roll And tots

    I ordered delivery this past weekend from the Crabby Shack. I couldn't decide if I wanted a crab or lobster roll. So I went with the clobster roll. It was stuffed full of crabmeat and lobster. Simply tossed in garlic butter I was a happy camper. It wasn't overpowered with garlic, old bay or insert whatever sauce, spice. I could taste the flavors of the actual seafood. I added the tater tots because you have to have a tot and the honey cornbread

    Overall rating: 4.4 Cute seafood spot in Crown Heights. Food was good & it was nice trying Alaskan Crabs for the first time. That said, it was very expensive. The lobster roll was good & the staff was really friendly. This is more of a hang out spot than anything else. I would recommend if you love seafood.

    Damn you, Goldbelly! (For those that haven't heard about Goldbelly, it's a delivery service that helps small, medium and even large food businesses deliver/ship their items nation-wide. Prices are going to be a little bit higher due to the speed and efficiency of shipping, but often these treats are absolutely worth it.) I keep seeing all of these special deals via email and occasionally jump on them - to take advantage of grabbing delicacies that are not easily found in my neck of the woods. The Crabby Shack got my attention with their "Clobster Rolls". Basically it's half lobster and half crab...but I didn't follow the rules when preparing mine. Oopsie. I simply had one of each-which didn't suck. These are super easy to prepare. Simply heat up the bag in boiling water or cut it open and sauté the ingredients for a few minutes. What I didn't realize when I ordered: that they are pre-seasoned. Not overly spiced or anything like that, but my experience with other lobster delivery was simply receiving lobster-nothing more. That was my fault for not really reading the fine print...but everything was truly delicious. The potato buns are fantastic. Toast them...or not. Either way, the vehicle for consuming this crab and lobster is delightful. Next time I'm in Brooklyn, I'm going to seek this place out. Thank you...and damn you, Goldbelly.

    I was hesitant to order because of some of the reviews but I'm happy that I did. The shrimp is pretty fresh and the spicy garlic sauce helped to balance it out. It was a tad bit salty for me but I ate all. Tip** peel some of the shrimp and let it soak in the sauce for a bit. Delicious! The clobster roll was ok. A tiny bit dry for me but I would try it again. The price was slightly steep for the size.

    NOT Good. Go to Joe's Crab Shack instead

This time, we took the F train to Carroll St, walked by a quiet residential area and some busier streets. We ordered and paid by the entrance, given a number and looked for seats. Tables for 4, and along the long counter in the front area; small counter for 3, and 2 round tables in the back, where the restroom also is. Got a reg scoop of Coffee bean- small scoop, with specks of coffee; and a Warm brownie sundae - small for the price of almost $17- 1 regular scoop of ice cream, flanked by brownie (was good, soft and warm), covered with fudge. Asked for whipped cream and cherry on the side. Missing the shaved chocolate. Atmosphere is not lively for a soda fountain but I loved the decor/old pharmacy items. Employees were just working, with straight-faces/no smiles.

We ordered the egg cream (as it was award winning according to their wall), the black and white milk shake and coffee. The black and white milk shake was definitely the best of what we ordered. It was fresh and had a homemade taste. The chocolate had a richness to it. I would definitely come back to try the other items on the menu like the sundae. The place itself has a rather old timey vibe to it, which makes it quaint. The service was fast and friendly. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend checking out Brooklyn Farmacy.

Seating space (not a lot of it, so I imagine it can get packed on busy times) and bathrooms on premises. Hot chocolate was delicious. We got the spiced dark chocolate and the spices were overwhelming. Get dark chocolate without spices. The extra dollar for marshmallow made the chocolate even sweeter, so it was overwhelming and I wouldn't recommend. But. The extra dollar for whipped cream would be nice because the their homemade whipped cream isn't sweet, so it will just thicken up the drink and give you that extra texture oooomph that you'll appreciate. Torino cafe is basically coffee added to any hot chocolate of your choice. That was tasty with dark chocolate. You definitely tasted the coffee and it was less thick than regular hot chocolate (which was on a thinner, sippier side). You can sample ice cream to make your selection. It's all very sweet, so if you're looking for a less sweet option go with Belgian dark chocolate flavor. For a $18 banana split you get three scoops of ice cream and a caramelized banana. Not a big portion for such hefty price. The tiny addition of toppings didn't make this banana split come together into a cohesive dish. Would get something else next time. Definitely not a good deal. Young lovely girls at the cashier were super friendly and accommodating. The not so young gentleman with a mustache who brought our order to the table was very dismissive and rude when we asked him to please bring us a correct order (he carried multiple orders and was harried to be done delivering them and barked something incoherent at us when we asked for help).

I was thinking to myself, could it be like Kulfi? Turns out yes! It's even better with the flavor assortment and consistency! They had fun combos like saffron pistacho, rose pistachio, mango and cream etc. we got the saffron pistacho and mango & cream split combo for $8.50 and hmmmm it was so good! Both flavors were distinct. I loved the mango one as it actually tasted like Indian mangoes and the pistacho one actually tasted like kulfi. The consistency is imo so much better than gelato. It's creamy and melts in your mouth. The ambiance is cosy, lots of people just hanging out like at a 3rd space. The attention to decor is really good, the walls and ceilings also have this classy look and feel. The service was great. They let me try 2 flavors, and my husband 1. You could also buy pints, if you'd like. Overall, 10/10 spot. Would 100% recommend!
