Only quirk is we bought cocktails at bar and was charged &37.00 had the same cocktails at table and was charged $30. What was up with that. Dinner of four was $75 pp. also me I prices show cash or card difference in price. The restaurant is beautiful I def recommend to try“

“First, I want to say… whatever shucker’s needs to do to keep Zach, pay him.

The best experience I’ve had at the shore. Drinks were absolutely perfect. I was welcomed like I was a local and put on to everything else in the area. I’ll be back to margate based on the service. The food is priced perfectly, the drinks are perfect.

We usually go to Delaware beaches and Atlantic City almost ruined coming back.

Glad I stopped by. Spin the wheel.

Thank you!! Zach(k?) completely saved my weekend.“

“My first time trying here and I was not disappointed. I was impressed with the quality and will definitely be ordering from here again! The Chinese food in Atlantic City is subpar. Liangs is my new spot. They even sent the fried noodles with dip AND tea with my delivery. Also, very friendly and inviting. Thank you liangs“

“Our party of three had delicious cheeseburgers 🍔 and fries for lunch watching the Eagles beat Detroit!! We’ve been here many times and always a good time.“

“Went to Memories last weekend and had a blast! Jerry Blavat is the best! He plays great music, the crowd really enjoys him. Place gets busy as the night goes on, but there are plenty of drinks and food! A fun experience!“

“Last night we dined here and everything was excellent, from the service to the food, only thing we didn’t care for and was disappointed in was the crème brûlée, it’s not your typical traditional crème brûlée but everything else was wonderful. Will be back for sure!“

“In my humble opinion, I must state that my total experience at this “Exceptional Restaurant “ was 10 STARS! The staff greeted when I arrived with a smile and I must admit that the CRAP TRAP has a philosophy of making sure you will have an individual who is a Professional who will advise you and answer any questions about their “SUPERIOR” menu! Our waitress never missed a beat when it came to advising me the in her opinion, I should choose their famous Crab Cake that was stuffed with crab and no fillers! One thing that you will observe, their salad was so fresh and the rolls & muffins were homemade & hot! You have several choices of side dishes & I selected the apple sauce that had to be prepared in house, and the frech fries were crispy and also seasoned perfectly! Our table was spotless, and the whole restaurant had a staff who never rushed you, but was always there to refill you water! I have dined in 5 Star Restaurants on my vacations & business trips, and all I must state is for being my 1ST Visit to the CRAP TRAP, I plan to make it a weekly location and a priority on my “Schedule”! I have wanted to dine there before, but I can add there parking lot suggested that there was a long wait, When I entered, I was so impressed by the size of the inside accommodation! I must apologize for my velours review, but I truly feel that this restaurant is a “GEM”“

“Waitress very nice and friendly, also I love the house blend mild sauce, I ordered combo B, with snow crab legs/ head on shrimp and mussels, additional order scallops, they all so good“

“Awesome Dinner as usual and great service…“

“crab imperial was delicious“

“Excellent dining experience. Walked in and was greeted with a smile. Sat quickly. Alysa, the server, was quick to get me a drink. Alysa shared the specials of the day. Ordered endless shrimp with brocolli. The brocolli was cooked to perfection, and the shrimp came out hot. Alysa checked in with for refills and to see how the food was... which was excellent. Gave me extra rolls when I was waiting a little for another round of shrimp.....
Shrimp scampi, fried shrimp, and shrimp alfredo....they were hot and tasted delicious.

The place was clean. The food was awesome. The service was awesome from the hostess to the server, which was remarkable.

If I were in the area, I would visit again.

Since the food was so delicious, I took an entrée home...baked haddock and steamed brocolli to go....looking forward to eating.

PLEASE COME BACK!!..lol Kelly I told you to come up North y'all would put seafood business up there out of business I LOVE YOU GUYS I HOPE ALL IS WELL???“

“The Branzino, melt in your mouth explosion of well balanced culinary experience. The wait teams are very well coordinated and genuine which enhances the ambiance. You will miss something special should you not experience this at least once.“

“I wasn't expecting this place to be too good, after I tried some other local spots but it was soooo good! We loved everything we ordered! My personal favorite was mac'n'cheese and coleslaw, it was exactly how I like it. Catfish was delicious as well! We did wait about 30 mins but it was totally worth it! Sylvia's has nothing on them! ❤️“

“I go to Casino Lobster for several reasons: 1. Locally owned business, supporting LOCAL economy. 2. Quality. Indisputable. 3. Selection. If it comes from the sea, they have it. 4. Value. Competitive prices. 5. Availability. They have it. It is in stock. 6. Service. They want your business because they are always friendly and helpful. These are 6 reasons why I shop for seafood at Casino lobster first. Oh, while I am praising Casino Lobster…. Where do you think that the seafood at the grocery store comes from, and how long did it take to get there???? Now you know.“

“Great people, great food. Discovered Ventnor location 2 years ago and met the owner Paul. Wonderful memories so we had to try the new Ocean City NJ location while vacationing there. Just as good and staff was amazing too. Please open a chain in Pittsburgh. For casual amazing seafood dining, I highly recommend PJ Buckets.“

“This place is the best!!! Best seafood I’ve ever had. Fresh. Definitely stop by here!! They have a beautiful dining setup too!“

“Delicious seafood and clean restaurant. The prices is reasonable.“

“The meal was delish. Everyone was super nice and wished me a happy birthday. We got to try the main things and here's what I recommend: wagyu meatballs were fantastic (nice acidity, good mix of flavors, cheese complimented the savory aspect), beef Wellington (it melted in my mouth and I dont normally like the taste of mushrooms however I didnt mind it at all), sticky toffee pudding (I'm diabetic and had to remind myself to stop eating after 3 bites - it wasnt too sweet, nor sticky but perfect blend and fulfilling)“

“First visit despite being owners on the island for years. Had a reco from a friend to put any of their soups over pasta. Great idea! But what’s more the staff were the definition of a mom/pop shop you want to support. All the items we got were great, highly recommend the crab au gratin. We will return, and we regret we hadn’t tried this sooner.“

“The food was delicious! Outstanding service as well! Large portions and the desert was exceptional! Would definitely go back!“

“Had the flounder sandwich a few days ago. Now I'm craving it. I want to try everything there. So good.“

“I wish there was a 1/2 star rating because I would have given it a 4 1/2 instead of a 5 as the salad bar was a bit sub par and out of certain things. Everything else though (the atmosphere, service and food), were excellent. As usual, I forgot to take pics!((“

“What a pleasant surprise! Thank you, Mary in AC!! Bravo. Very knowledgeable and a joy to have met. The Alaskan King Crab legs were absolutely amazing. So was the Shrimp Cocktail. I was so full when I left. And happy. Well done. 👏“

“A great little place right on the bay. Whether the place is active and lively or slow and chill you'll be sure to find good food, good drink and good company. My personal favorite is the kielbasa. I like to come here whenever I'm in AC for the League of Municipalities. Payton is a very personable bartender and always has great drink recommendations.“

“My wife and I’s favorite Italian restaurant in the entire country. Closest dish you will get to dining in Italy. 🇮🇹 Food is so authentic ! We go every year for our anniversary. Atmosphere is amazing and staff so accommodating with their table side made dishes. I recommend any of the bone in veal dishes. Make sure you make reservations but once you eat here you will understand why as it’s a one of a kind experience ! Five stars all around !“

“TODAY I WAS IN THIS RESTAURANT WITH MY FAMILY. THE GUY SOOOOOO AMAZING HE TOOK MY ORDER. I THINK HIS NAME IS NERIK. SOOO COURTESY. THE BREAKFAST SOOOOOO GOOD. VERY CLEAN. I LOVE IT AND MR. PIERRE FOOD SERVICE AMAZING. AND CAROLINA AMAZING. AND FATIMA N ANAHI DIVINAS. TREMENDO SERVICIO.“

“We got the southend combo with the fried fish, shrimp, scallops, and french fries. It was all incredible, the fried scallops were probably the best I’ve ever had. It was a 20 minute wait for them to drop the order but it was worth the wait for them to fry it on the spot. Plus the staff was super kind and we had some dessert before dinner with a mango gelati from Mike’s ice cream next door. Overall a great experience.“

“Best Soul Food that I’ve ever had. Huge portions We got the steamers as an appetizer, served in a perfect garlicky broth. We had a fun and energetic server, named Ray. I was debating between the fried chicken or the smothered pork chop and he said “well, Popeyes is everywhere, get the Pork chop” The pork chop did not disappoint! Perfectly seasoned, crispy smothered in gravy and onions. For sides, we both got the Collard Greens, I got the yams and my husband got Mac and Cheese. Best Collard Greens ever! It was Mother’s Day weekend so was very busy… but all and all worth the wait and a fantastic experience.“

“I'm a Local, Fridays in my Family...are Traditionally "Fish Fry Fridays." And If You're Not Getting You're Fresh Caught ?? From Bob's In Northfield...
