The service is the highlight for us. The folks of The Surfing Crab are true blue to their craft and bring it like no other establishment in the area. Great food and great service.

Newbie for AYCE and it was worth it !
To me this is important. I am a cleaner and have some experience in cleaning food establishments after fires, floods etc. The number one thing I notice about this place IS THAT ITS CLEAN. I've seen it all, folks. I was happy to see they care about cleaning here. The eating area, the bathrooms. Everything is nice.
My boyfriend and his family had a great experience here last year so when we came down to the beach for our most recent vacation together, he wanted to stop here on the way back home. I am so glad we did. The servers and staff were so nice and extreamly attentive. We got the AYCE Crabs. If you can eat 6 or more, it's worth it. It was about $65 per person and it was awesome. I'm a newbie to crab picking, but my boyfriend is not. I would say even as a newbie I ate atleast 8 or 9. I was STUFFED. He ate probably closer to 12 and was also ridiculous full. The Crabs themselves were so very good. Lots of meat and neither of us had even one that seemed small or off. They were all full and delicious. The hush puppies and sauce are legit. We loved those. We also got a couple glasses of white wine and a couple beers. It was such a good experience for my first time and we will definitely be back next year.

Food and Service can't be beat but make sure to pre-order your Crabs. They sell out quickly

The cream of crab soup is not to be missed. I have it every year and it is by far the best! They have delicious fried shrimp and crab cakes as well. Their steamed crabs are perfectly cooked and the restaurant is clean and comfortable. Always look forward to coming here!

What a find! We wanted something outside "the strip" and we were pleasantly suprised with this place. Excellent food, outstanding service, and "fair" pricing for the high quality received. We'll be back!

Parking: We arrived before 5pm on a Saturday. Plenty of spots short walk away however, I can see how it could get tight later in the evening.
