Excellent fish and chips dinners! Fresh, cooked perfectly and generous portions. Other food we tried was also delicious and fresh! Cooked to order the way you like it. Specials ate good deals every day! Highly recommend.

You can find better prices if you know where to go. Nothing in the display has a price tag which is annoying. I’m almost certain anything for sale in a store is supposed to display a price. The prepared food part is good but nothing memorable. The lobster bisque contains only micro shredded lobster meat but no chunks. Overall it’s a place you go to beat the hassle of going to a supermarket seafood department.

Everyday fresh fish delivered. Buy fresh and cook yourself or order from the menu! Staff will customize your order! Slice into portions ..remove skin etc. you'll never want to buy in the supermarket again after having the fish from here.

I went to the crab shack and didn’t think much but the food was great and the music was very pleasant. The best part was my waitress Lira she was a true gem!! She was friendly and made my experience joyful. Will definitely return. 😊

Came in at 7:45 to get food, and while we were looking at the menu, a tall blonde guy stormed out of the kitchen and yelled at us, saying the kitchen was closed. A young man who was working noticed his attitude and tried to make it right by explaining their business hours. Unfortunately, that guy ruined the experience for me. I won’t be coming back.

I've been a fan of the Crab Shack's market for many years. Recently, I learned they are serving a full menu with food outdoors with waitress service and live music. We were very excited to check it out! One weekend, we tried ordering food to go, but the phone rang and rang, despite being during open hours. Then two weekends later, we went to eat in person. Before leaving the house, we looked at the online menu and was so pleased by the selection. We were craving Clam Chowder Soup, Crab Legs and Steak for our child.
Upon arrival, we found the menu to be very limited and not even close to the posted online menu. None of the items we went for were available.
The waitress told us the online menu is for during the week, but on weekends with live music its too busy and the kitchen focuses on a simple menu (mostly appetizers, sandwiches, fish tacos and a raw bar). This should be clearly listed online!
We wish the best for the Crab Shack and we will return to the market for takeout, but we hope they keep the momentum up with in-person dining and can revisit a full menu again.

The crabs here are absolutely amazing! 🦀 So fresh, full of meat, and delicious. My boyfriend and I had such a fun time cracking them open and enjoying every bite. Great quality and a great experience overall. We’ll definitely be bringing our friends and family next time! And 🍻

Love having a great spot in the neighborhood. We used to pick up seafood from the old owners but the food was lackluster. Completely different experience with the new owners. The outside seating with music was a bunch of fun. The standout food items were the shrimp tacos and the hush puppied shrimp. Our server Lira was phenomenal. The food did take a while but we didn’t mind as there was good music and we brought our own beer. I can see why this place is packed every weekend and will definitely be back during local summer.

Good fresh seafood. Everything made in house. Clams and crab cake sandwich were great. Kids insisted on chicken tenders and fries, even all that looked fresh from the kitchen rather than the usual frozen stuff from a distributor. Someone made a mistake and we sat 15-20 min while our takeout order was packed and the fried stuff had lost its crisp a bit. We were just going to pay and go but the manager was very apologetic and insisted on making it right. Cost them a few bucks I'm sure, but pops is a local who has been living right down the street for 20+ years and the gesture meant a lot to him. He's definitely going to recommend the place to his friends, and I'll be back on our next trip out to give the calamari another go!

Stopped by on a Friday in the summer for dinner. Sat outside in the picnic area, was a very good seafood experience. Service was very good. Enjoyed the Calamari with cherry peppers, the mussels marinara, the hush puppy shrimp and Oysters. The tuna tacos were excellent. It is BYOB which is nice. I would come back again.

Use to love this place now you can't get anyone to answer the phone. It makes it easier to know if they have what you're looking for oppose to driving a far distance. Since they changed hands the place isn't the same and they raised the crab prices. Unfortunately they forced me to do business else! However the guy Brian who works for them is a awesome person sadly the place has changed completely.

5 stars on food and great servers. But only come here If you’re down to be surrounded by a bunch of entitled baby boomers who park themselves on tables for their BYOB evening drinking party. Zero respect for other families who are equally entitled to sit and eat like humans. Managment needs to take control of the flow of this space.. you need a host to control the seating of your entity. Wishing you guys good luck 😎
