    Shrimp Po Boy. Look at the size of those shrimp! The potato salad was also amazing. Everything was delicious!
    Mike C.

    We tried this restaurant tonight after being at the Sea Witch Festival all day. This was the second time we came here to eat, although the lot was so full the first time that we left and went somewhere else. This time we stayed and were we ever glad. First of all, the food was phenomenal! I ordered their shrimp Po Boy with a side of potato salad. The shrimp on the Po Boy were huge! I've never had shrimp that large on a Po Boy before. Absolutely amazing! The potato salad was also incredible, and home made. A perfect meal for a share over $20. My wife got the blackened Mahi Mahi with the potato salad and loved it. For dessert, she got a piece of their Lemon Crème Cake and it was delicious. We couldn't be happier with our meals, and the service was also on point. I'm only sorry that we left without eating the first time we came here. I highly recommend it.

    Read the reviews and thought I would stop in. Was very happy I did. It is a no frills looking place with outstanding food and service. Our starters of Steamed shrimp and deviled eggs could no have been better, the eggs were perfectly cooked with a sprinkle of bay seasoning and the shrimp were large and firm. My crab cake entree came with two large cakes filled with jumbo lump crab and almost no filler. The hush puppies were crunchy on the outside and tender inside. Excellent The grilled scallops were huge and perfectly cooked. They were accompanied by string beans with roasted peppers and slaw made with fresh ingredients. Dessert was one of the best Key Lime Pies I have had outside of Florida. Will definitely stop in again

    One of the best meals I have had in a long time!!! I freaking loved this place!! My friend and I were driving by here during the day and she was telling me how great it is. I have had many crab legs in my life but never had the experience of eating blue crabs. I had no idea what I was in for. We called ahead and told them we were coming at 7 and to have 6 large blue crabs ready. The restaurant itself has 5 different dining areas. The bar, and 4 dining rooms. We sat in one that was kinda chill. They lay out the paper to lay your crabs on when you sit down. Our server was great. They al seemed like a family. I had no Idea how expensive blue crabs were but I know crab meat is a high market price. Their crab dip is $32.00 and this not a fancy restaurant which means it is legit. We stated the PEI mussels. They serve it with a whole loaf of bread They were Delicious!!! Then we had Cole slaw and French fries with the crabs. I was taught how to do the crabs and I had a blast making a mess and eating them. They were so yummy and I laughed so hard. I had a chance to meet the owner, Donnie, too. I highly recommend this place whether you have or haven't ever had blue crabs Absolutely loved it!!

    Two of us arrived earlier than our third person in the party. But the Surfing Crab had no problems seating us in the enclosed air conditioned patio where we had a few drinks at the end of a long picnic table. We watched as servers busily brought out trays of crabs, corn on the cob, and many other delicious dishes. One look around showed families and groups of all ages enjoying what the beach offers best - a low key environment to enjoy affordable and delicious seafood, chicken, burgers and salads. Don't let the unassuming look fool you! Well worth the visit!

    Crispy perfect hush puppies and fries.

    See all
