Crab Catcher's On The Waterfront

never disappointed! we live in NMB and love crab 🦀 catchers!!

We had the best time, great food and fun service! One of my best friends and I ate there, at the outdoor bar. We had a blast with the staff and the other patrons. We met a couple of four legged regulars….some very tame raccoons came up on the deck and added to our fun and laughter!

Originally was going to come here and rate this place 3*, with a review that would have gone something like this- "After a long day on the road, my family and I chose to come here as first time visitors to the area to get our first taste of fresh, local, SC seafood. They were only somewhat busy when we arrived on a Monday night, but indoor seating is limited (8 tables, I think?). We were greeted, the waitress took my name and invited us to head outdoors to the bar to wait for a table. I was unsure of waiting at the bar with our 4 year old but the bartender, May Lay, was amazing with her and even made her a special "drink" when she proudly announced she had just turned 4. After waiting around 40 minutes I went inside to inquire how much longer for a table. The waitress said she had called my name for a table and seemed confused. Long story short, another party had taken our table. We decided to leave as our daughter was getting antsy. The food smelled great and the atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for, but I can only give 3* because of the awesome service received from the bartender." DONT STOP READING- Fortuneatly, we took a dolphin cruise during our vacation and when we passed by Crab Catchers on the ICW (did I mention they have an awesome outdoor patio area right on the water?) the captain pointed it out and said that it was THE best place in town. We are forgiving people who love seafood and had been disappointed by quite a few places we had visited during our trip so on our last night in town we decided to give it another go. I'M SO GLAD WE DID... We had the best meal of our entire trip here, and possibly the best seafood we've had, ever. My husband and I have traveled up and down the Florida gulf coast and tried shacks, huts, fine dining establishments, etc, been to restaurants near home (SE MI) who claim to fly fresh seafood in daily...but Crab Catchers had the absolute freshest, largest shrimp we've ever had. The blue crab bites were amazing. My daughter loved her steamed clams. The catch of the day- Sea Bass, was prepared perfectly. The fries were also homemade, a novelty at most restaurants these days. Our drinks were strong & cold. On top of being an amazing meal, May Lay and the waitress (Kelly, I believe) remembered us from our visit earlier in the week. May Lay made sure we were seated without question and Kelly made sure we were well taken care of and gave some really great recommendations. After receiving our meal, Kelly let us know that she felt really bad about what had happened and she had talked to the owner, who comped our entire meal. It was completely unnecessary but if we return to the area (did I mention we were unimpressed at many of the restaurants we visited?) Crab Catchers will be at the top of the list (probably more than once!)

Server was great but , food not so great!

We had lunch here today, soft shells and shrimp were great. 🤙

Service and food were excellent. Because of the outside temp, we ate inside, and the decor was rather spartan. I'm sure the outside dining area overlooking the marsh is a main attraction.

I found Crab Catchers by accident because it was the only place I could find open at the time. Now I go back with my family every time we visit MB. It’s so fresh and there is a wide variety of seafood to choose from. The gator bites as an appetizer are my son’s favorite. I’ve had just about everything on the menu. Highly recommend.

Came here on a recommendation from a dolphin cruise we took. Food was fantastic but our waiter was very inattentive with food missing and no refills on drinks.

Wonderful hostess and atmosphere. Unfortunately, food lacked flavor. Maybe just on off day for the cook????
