Food was good, view was nice, waitress was sweet. Atmosphere was a little dated for my liking. Went for blue crab but they were out. Their crab legs and shrimp were cooked well and well seasoned. Waitress was sweet but a little busy so found ourselves waiting for a few things. Definitely a good establishment.

Went to eat with our group yesterday 10 of us ! When we walked in we were not greeted nicely at all ! My cousins mother watched a staff member shake his head no to the waitress and told us 90 min wait on food ! Restaurant was not busy at all ! Very disappointed and won’t be going back to try it ‘

What a delightful, enchanting, step back in time, old-fashioned family owned crab house, and restaurant ~ right on the water! To die for crabs, steamed to perfection and the absolute best homemade coleslaw, EVER ~ made by Chef Patrick/Cody. Our food was absolutely delicious, and what a great jukebox ~ yes they have a bar!! Come by boat or car ~ just get there. If you’re in a hurry past this one by ~ because a lot of dishes are hand battered and made to order ~ good ole fashion food takes time to make. Grab a drink and take a stroll on the brand new pier, the view is breathtaking. This was just what my every day hurried soul needed ~ a little piece of heaven with a side order of crabs. Thank you, Ray’s Pier ~ we had an absolutely marvelous time. We will be back again!
