Got a dozen & a half of crabs from this establishment and they were DELICIOUS!! I was given all male crabs like I asked for & they were clean & full of meat.This was my first time coming here and definitely won’t be my last. They were really busy so expect to wait 10-20 minutes, but it’s worth it.

I went to Mr Crabs on Saturday, May 16, my first time if I didn’t have bills to pay I’ll be there every day getting crabs 🦀 they were seasoned to perfection, delicious, I'm going back

I reached out to the establishment to ask about the availability of blue crabs, as I had been unable to find any information online. As a first-time customer, my experience was quite disappointing due to the lack of attentive customer service. During my call, the representative casually informed me that the business closes at 7 PM, which contradicted the posted hours clearly indicating an 8 PM closing time. While I can appreciate that they may stop taking orders by 7 PM, I was taken aback when our conversation ended abruptly; the representative abruptly stated they were very busy and hung up on me without any further explanation. This left me feeling frustrated and undervalued as a potential customer.

Pros: friendly staff, variety of seafood, clean
Cons: quoted 1 price on the phone, but paid more at pick up, I ordered med crabs but they were very small, also didn't care for the garlic sauce, it was a little sweet to me. I also ordered ahead of time but still had to wait ( not too long)

The crabs had a good flavor but they tasted old and were not cleaned properly. There was dirt still stuck between the claws, etc. We called the let the staff know about the dirt and we were dismissed and instead told that once we finish eating them, we’d know they were good. Why would I eat crabs that still have dirt on them??? Not worth the $77 paid. We ended up throwing them away and ordering from Franks.

I went to this establishment because I had a taste for fish, I was surprised it was black owned which was even better because I support my people. It didn't look like it had much in there. I asked the guy if he had any flounder, he said 2 pieces, this should have been a red flag (why do you only have 2 pieces of flounder left at 3pm) but ok., He said it was enough for a platter. So, I ordered the flounder platter. The platter should have been 15.00 instead I was charged 19.00, when I get home and opened the platter it was small pieces of fish broken up to make it look more than it should have been, He tried to disguise flounder with whiting fish when he said there was enough flounder for a platter! The platter was sad looking and not good. Not only was i overcharged but it just wasn't good! I think the place is closed for good as it should be! In Response: you did overcharge me and you did give me whiting, I know the difference between flounder and fish! I'm not out to try and get you, I just gave my honest opinion, no lies told on my part!

I’ve been ordering from Mr. crab for years but I just tried this location for the first time. I tried sautéed crabs for the first time and they did not disappoint. I might go back tomorrow. They were that good! Happy to have him in the Overbrook area.

I enjoy the seasoning on the crabs, but the service is horrible. If you are open until 8pm change the time. If you have to pray, change the time. This is the second time I went to pick up my food and was told I need to hurry up so he could pay. This time he close and left my food on the gate for anyone to take. I try to support, this is what I get. Could of had a regular. Smh never have I ever given money to be treated so poorly.
