Hosted an event here this past weekend and it could not have gone more smoothly! Nico and his team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed from the second we walked in the door, until the second we left. Brian, our waiter, was attentive the entire evening - he was extremely friendly, and was even remembering what 30+ people were drinking. Food was delicious, music was great. Will definitely be hosting more events here in the future!

No choice but to sit in the bar area as they were decorating the restaurant. Music was loud so we couldn't hear each other. We ordered stuffed shrimp for me and shrimp scampi for my husband. We requested the shrimp scampi over penne pasta or rice but not the linguini. They brought it out over linguini. We had to send it back. When they returned with it, the penne pasta was very fishy tasting. Our calamari appetizer was very good, but for their high prices, we are not sure when we will be returning.

Update: Finally got to come in again, as I'm from far away. Food was great again, got to see everyone again and thank them for the great past experience, which was so much appreciated that I remembered to return 2 years later! Unedited original review below.

Amazing place all around! Open late with amazing food, and pristine customer service! Family owned, and the owners, who I got to meet, were amazing people with great character and willing to help feed me even 10 minutes till closing time. It is much appreciated and the food was great. Whenever i am back in the area, i will definitely be returning. Thank you :)

Brian is the best server at Crabbys by far. He severed the greatest food alongside the best drinks

Fun atmosphere, live bands every weekend. Great drinks and service.
But the food could be better. The fish tasted fresh but the food really lacks flavor. Just doing a few simple things would make the food much more flavorful like adding fresh garlic. The fra diavolo sauce had no flavor at all. The other dishes we had lacked flavor as well. We tried it 3 times recently but probably won’t be back to eat.

The food was excellent. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, my 2 complaints I have from keeping my review a 5 star. The menu for dinner is limited and does not have certain items that lunch has. For example i saw on the website there is a "crabby fried platter" (sampler) which I wanted to try, fried jump shrimp w/fries, and a few others, I honestly think by not offering you miss out on potential revenue. i was prepared to have an experience for my date night! I found that none of those are available. I was a bit disappointed but the waitress suggested the ayce snowcrabs and I ordered a ayce for myself but the waitress mistaken for a single order of snow crabs. She wasn't super clear on what to do. I even asked if we could just convert my order from 1 dish to the ayce, and she said no. Not to spoil date night/mood, I just had her place the ayce into my bill. I was a but annoyed that the ayce they only bring out half a crab and take like 10mins to bring it out. I strongly recommend that you order it right away! So I had 2 crab charges plus the ayce. I paid extra, which I will write off as a learning experience.
I still want to try those other dishes, but I am working till 5 pm daily, and I am not likely to be available to order these dishes. The likelihood i would return for a dinner experience is slim.
Overall, if you like crabs 🦀 highly recommend giving it a try. The calamari was amazing. The bar seems to be a fun place to interact. i noticed the staff more active.

We always have a great time here. Food is great.

Had been here before, we usually come as a family group once in a month usually(haven’t been there for 6 months already lol), the food was great not to mention that, the only thing I was disappointed with was that our server, I guess now ex-server, Dave I guess, is not working over there now. Anyway, we had a great time visiting Mr crabbys and for sure will be back!!!

favorite seafood place near by. food is fresh and cheap. the fries and drinks are amazing. staff is friendly and welcoming. i always leave mr crabby’s with a smile!
