Beautiful view of the water. Great food. Friendly staff.

Lovely waterfront, family atmosphere. Food is super fresh and consistently good over numerous visits! Service is top notch, and they get highest marks from us for hospitality and cleanliness! You may experience a wait but they are very efficient and keep things moving at a good pace!! Most definitely the best restaurant in Salter Path :)

We ate at CRAB SHACK on March 28. Food was delicious and generous servings. Best seafood anywhere. We will be returning soon.👏👏
