Cantler's Riverside Inn

The large crabs were huge. Very meaty and delicious. Bring off if you plan to eat on the deck. Very chill and relaxed setting.

THE WORST STEAMED CRABS I HAVE EVER HAD!
I went to Cantlers to have some steamed crabs at the bar. It was on Monday 11/11/24 at 4:30 PM. Cantlers says they always steam the crabs to order. I only ordered 3 extra large crabs. For 3 it was $39. This is the time of year that crabs are the heaviest. They are fattening up for the winter “hibernation” when they are buried into soft bay bottom. I know steamed blue crabs.
The crabs came out in 15 minutes. Freshly steamed crabs are so hot you have to let them cool down for 5 or 10 minutes before you can clean and eat them. All 3 were lukewarm to the touch on the outside and cold on the inside. They had been steamed the night before and re-heated the next day when I ordered them. This is not acceptable. They steamed them the night before rather than possibly dying before being steamed the next day. I only ate half of them. I was not happy at all.
Two of the crabs were medium large and very light. One crab was extra large as ordered. I told the bartender what I thought and she disagreed with me and offered to replace the crabs. I was pussed and paid my bill and left
Terrible experience. Don’t waste your time by patronizing them. By the way, Cream of Crab Soup is $19 for a bowl. Are they insane!

Crab cake is amazing you have to try it!!! Also the crabs are fresh and amazing.

Went there with my family on a late Sunday afternoon. Since the weather was a nice day, we requested outdoor seating near the water. We were told there would be 20 minutes wait for an outside table. We were okay with that. We actually had to wait 30 minutes. When they called us to go through the restaurant and out to the outside seating, the table that was selected for us had been given to another family. Then they wanted to seat us in the tables on the parking lot. We said no, so they then seated us at a table, not in view of the water, but on the side facing the parking lot. I would have left by then. However, the rest of our family decided that we would stay. I don't think I'll be back!

Service was great. Food was just ok. I got a shrimp po boy and didn't expect shrimp to be deepfried. Also bottom of sandwich was saturated with oil or dressing so very difficult to eat. But it was good. Nice view on the water.

Nice waterside dining with covered outdoor and can enclose it in bad weather! Food was good with great prices! Service was a little slow though.
