Drinks are good food it's always good. Come here for a good time and a good drink. Lots of space and plenty of seating.

Former employee here, I worked at Bens crab for about 5 months and let me tell you… If i could give them 0 stars I WOULD. Majority of the bartenders are rude, drinks are strong but, not worth having to deal with the attitude of the owner Jason behind it. When told about his bartenders by paying customers Jason has no guts to speak to them about they’re behavior and attitude. He thinks buying you shots will solve the issue. Its tacky and insulting. The crabs are left in a bucket in the kitchen all day and reheated when you place an order.I no longer work here due to racist remarks that were made to me. I would NOT recommend this location.Go to Uniondale or Oceanside .Dont waste your time at Valley Stream.

Disgusting. Best part was the water and Cajun fries. I’ve never in my life had clumpy lemon pepper seafood boil, food was warm not pippign hot, service okay. Will not return to this location.. waste of money!!

I really like Ben's Crab I come here often on Sunday afternoons for the food company and of course the music with Kirk Bailey and the next level band. They are Awesome!!! Go and check them out. This is for 40,50+ crowd!! The food at Ben's will not disappoint. We have had their soup, fried shrimp, catfish, wings and the snow crab and lobster tail broil. Everything is always fresh and well seasoned. The bartender I forgot her name but she makes great drinks. I've gone up to her to let her know how much I've enjoyed my drinks! Usually 2 is my limit due to driving but if my husband is there then a third is in order The staff are all pleasant and they are constantly cleaning and clearing your table I like that and it's not that they are rushing you no no no it's makes for a nice neat table and room for more. Hey it's Sunday and I don't go home to cook The bathrooms are clean and smell good and the restaurant itself does NOT have a fishy smell I enjoy coming listening to Kirk Bailey and meeting familiar and new people KC Over all 5 stars from me

Not bad. Actually prefer the food from here as opposed to the other seafood places in the area. Will patronize that business again.

Enjoyed Saturday night here. The dj"s were both excellent. Drinks were tasty and food is reasonably priced. We do not recommend the cheesy lobster pasta. Will definitely return. The shrimp pasta was delicious

FOOD - 4/5 SERVICE - 2/5 AMBIANCE - 2.5/3 If you like "hood" settings this is the place to be! If you want to be treated with disrespect, yall go right ahead! Would I return ? Absolutely NOT! The food was tasty. It was a small portion. 1 piece of chicken well cooked/ seasoned with a heap of garlic noodles. The taste was there (more of a sweet sauce) and the noodles were good. Let's get to the service... SEVERELY LACKING! The server kept disappearing and at 1 point I had to ask the host to get him. Let's get to the disrespect... A large group was standing and waiting while there were 2 empty 4 tops open to my right... eventually somebody asked for Jason and he came over and got them seated. Thereafter they wanted another table. I was alone so I wouldn't have minded if anyone politely requested the extra table I was seated at. Didn't happen. Instead, the head of the pack said something to Jason who then turned to me to ask if I was done eating. I was, and I ordered another drink so I wasn't ready to wrap it up. After asking what I ordered, Jason decided to bring me my drink in a Togo cup. How did it go from a martini glass to a plastic cup? RUDE I kindly told him 1) I didn't order my drink composed the way he brought it (the waiter knew and got it correct) and 2) don't rush me because you want the table, ask nicely and you can have it.. simple He insisted he wasn't rushing me yet my remade drink was again bought ANOTHER plastic cup. Who asked for that and how did we transition from being served 1 way to the other?! #UnderPressure Crazy that somebody can come and put pressure on somebody to mistreat a customer. Yall crazy and that negative energy is too much. Will not be back. Unfortunate encounter and very low vibrational energy Ben's Crab! PS - I must say that Friday night DJ was why I ordered a 2nd drink! He was excellent with the older music. The crowd was def 40+ so it went well

I knew nothing about Ben's Crab until I attended a birthday party there. What a pleasant surprise! I was there on a Sunday. Live band. Excellent! Lively crowd. The food was delicious! Tasty and prepared perfectly. The staff was very attentive and on point. I had a great time. Definitely, I am going back!
