Surfing Crab offers friendly and attentive service, with staff that are helpful in making meal selections. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and has ramps that are well-placed. On Mother's Day, the service remains excellent, but the restaurant can get loud. The portions are large and prices are reasonable. The Dozen Oysters and Lobster Tail Combo Cajun Mild are offered, although the mild may be too mild for some. The lobster, shrimp, oysters, and corn are all highlights of the meal. However, some dishes like the shrimp may be overcooked, making them un-edible, and the staff may not always respond with an apology or solution. The restaurant does know how to cook crab well, aligning with its name, but shrimp cooking can be inconsistent. Despite that, the overall experience is positive, with great food and good value. Guests have enjoyed the lively atmosphere with games playing and have found the service fantastic, especially at the bar. The restaurant can be crowded and noisy on busy nights, but it still provides a fun dining environment.
