Bay Crawlers Crab Shack

Best crabs 🦀 in the area cooked perfectly highly recommend this place !

Don't get Crabs anywhere else

I’ve gone there a few times now for take out. They take your order over the phone, tell you what time to pick up, and you’ll typically be waiting about an hour after said pick up before you get your food. Last time we ordered we intentionally arrived late so we wouldnt have to wait, and STILL waited an hour for our meal. The owner said they won’t start your order until you arrive… why provide a pick up time then??? I’ll never go back.

Bay Crawlers in North East is trash!!! 1 hour wait times to pick up food, and just to get raw bacon on my food. Also took the order wrong. Happy Father’s Day. Lol. The owner was like you can come back and get another. 3 hours later I might get something edible haha. No thanks!!!! I will cut my loses.

Great Crabs and hush puppies

Always good

We love coming here for the all you can eat crab. Great food and service. Such a relaxed atmosphere.

Service was quick and attentive as we were the 1st guests for the day. We visited after going to Turkey Point Lighthouse and they are dog friendly. Drinks were OK, but we ordered the same drinks and they were completely different in taste and color. We did not get crabs this time but would return to see how the AYCE crabs would be.

All you can eat is worth it but don't like that they charge you for butter and old bay that's part of eating crabs. I don't like being nickeled and dimed.

Their seafood is Absolutely Delicious 😋

All you can eat crabs were a great deal, and they never stopped coming. Service was great and the crabs were tasty.

Such a fun experience! I was on a girl’s trip in Chesapeake for a few days and we were recommended to check out Bay’s Crawler Crab Shack. What an experience! Our server handled a huge group so well and we all got exactly what we ordered. I’m a crawfish girl (native New Orleanean) but Bay’s may have converted me to a full on crab fan. So delicious! Definitely recommend you check them out when you’re in the area.

As we were walking in, all the waitresses were sitting around on their phones. We got a picnic table outside and ordered two cocktails. They were average at best. Once our food came, the waitress said she would get us silverware but never came back with it. We had to go to the takeout window to ask for some forks. The clams were amazing and the crabcake was great. The cook staff did a great job, but the front of the house was pure lazy garbage. The poor service was enough to make sure we never go back, no matter how good the food was.

The first one was not that fat, but the later ones were very sweet and plump. It's just a little salty, but it tastes delicious after soaking in boiled clam water

First time visitors and our group was very pleased! The crabs, the corn and service were exactly as expected for a crab shack. My only suggestion would be: better signage to help find the place. I was on my bike without GPS and I drove past it twice.
