A Go too when family and friends are in town who eat seafood.
Good service, fast food, great drinks.
Prices have gone up but food portions are the same.
You are better off getting a family meal, to share it's a lot and feeds up to 3-4 people.
The bread will fill you up with drinks before the food comes. You may have food to take home. If you got a family.

I had a 70th surprise lunch party for my father at Crab Shanty. Everything was wonderful from start to finish. We were able to dine in the garden room which provided privacy for my party. I was able to bring in my balloons, party favors and the staff refrigerated my cake. The price was perfect for the prefixed menu. The options were very fair for the price. The food was delicious. My host Fernando was absolutely amazing. It’s not an easy job to handle a crowd, but he handled all matters with a smile. I couldn’t ask for anyone greater to provide a service for us. The owner Michelle and her mom who helped me take my items from my car were so fantastic. I have been going to crab shanty for years. My father and everyone were so happy with the turnout.

Had lunch there with my co-workers. A mouse ran under our table. Flies are everywhere flying in the food. Do better Crab Shanty.

Food is good, service needs improvement. In the beginning good, but before coffee and dessert we were given check. Had to wait 15 mins before dessert order was taken, then had to wait for a pot of coffee to brew. But the biggest turn off was the menus were so worn out. Peeling and dirty. For the money they charge there is no excuse to have dirty, peeling menus. The germs that are on the edges. Second the floor around the booths, there is dirt. The runners are dirty, No excuse especially when no one is sitting in the booths. The
place needs a big cleaning and the wood work needs paint. If the dining room is run down, how clean is the kitchen?
