About Crabby Jim's seafood

Crabby Jim's seafood restaurant is a welcoming spot with great hospitality and understanding of customers. The restaurant is kid-friendly, taking time to ensure children have a good experience. The food is very good, with the clam chowder being a standout dish, especially the version with garlic top and added crab meat which some customers say is one of the best they've had. The atmosphere is peaceful and elegant, with a beautiful view and cozy ambiance. The seafood is fresh, and other dishes like artichokes, burgers, and pasta are filling and tasty. The drinks are excellent, with a variety including brandy Alexander, old fashioned, banana daiquiri shaken, Manhattan, and margarita, all praised for their quality. While the prices may be higher than expected for some, overall, Crabby Jim's is a recommended place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. Customers also enjoy the phenomenal calamari and oysters Rockefeller, and the ambiance is enhanced by a warm fire pit in the middle of the restaurant.

However, some recent reviews mention that portion sizes have gotten smaller while prices have increased, similar to other restaurants. The tostada salad, clam chowder in bread bowls, and kids' meals were enjoyed. One reviewer found the food to be just "so-so" and overpriced, with the lobster dish containing little actual lobster. Another reviewer described the atmosphere and furnishings as "very run down," including a dirty bathroom door, though the server was friendly. Despite these mixed reviews, Crabby Jim's continues to be a popular destination for its seafood, hospitality, and overall dining experience.
