I purchased a dozen number 1 males crabs tonight on 6/7/25 at 630pm and they were so mushy they were inedible it wasn’t even possible to pick the meat it just became mush on your finger tips. I was told that means the crabs were dead when they were cooked either way I spent 55 dollars on a dozen crabs that were 100% inedible and had to be thrown out very disappointing because they were big beautiful looking crabs but the meat was horrible.

the food is excellent and the portions are big. I ordered surf and turf and sea scallops. we definitely will be back !! Kristen and the noise was pretty awesome also!!!

Crabs were cooked ahead of time, taken out of refrigerator and re-heated. They were flavor-less and extremely over-priced. Kelly's Tavern is less than 1 mile away and have the best crabs in Delaware at a much more reasonable price.

Gus’s Crab Shack is THE place for live music in New Castle County Delaware.
We go often, and it’s always fun.
Crabs are some of the best around.
The menu isn’t huge, which allows them to really take the time to do things right.
Cold beer, delicious food, great people, and the best bands……..Gus’s is the place to be.
Family owned and operated….Gus and Micki are part of the community.
Call for a reservation, trust me, you’ll need it most nights.

Gus's crab shack is one of the best places to visit in Delaware, I'm from MD and it's hard to find a great place to get crabs done right ! Gus's crabs make this marylander happy! lol and the food and drink menues have lots of variety from burgers to steaks!, the staff there are really attentive and if you love live music it's the place to be from the Amish Outlaws to some of the best tribute bands around! I highly recommend this place if your looking for a fun day out!
