So people were on social media raving about this place. I had a taste and decided to give them a…read moretry. I ordered online. You have to give them at least 30 minutes. I arrived a little early. Parking: tight. They have a little parking lot but that was filled. You can park on the street. They have a walk up window. I gave my number and was told my order would be up. It took more than 30 minutes. I ordered $5 crabs and had them sautéed. There's an extra charge. They came with a sauce. I ordered Buffalo butter. You can order whole crabs. The crabs were ok. They were meaty but I was looking for this great flavor and it wasn't there. I ordered a side of cajun seafood. Omg!! Omg!!!! There was too much cajun seasoning. I could not eat it. Overall I wasn't totally happy with the crabs. I'm not sure what all of the hype was about. I may go back to get whole crabs and make a sauce of my own.

I'm very disappointed in the food. I ordered dungness crabs but got Alaskan smh. I asked for the $4…read moreblue crabs and it look like I got the $2 crabs smh. They said they only had $3-$6crabs but these crabs no way were $4 crabs smh they too small. The shrimps were overcooked. I'm mad at myself because I should've checked my order before pullin off. They fell off. Big time. I use to love bobs but this was a big no for me especially when I spent $75 and my order was messed up. DO BETTER!

This is our go-to spot for a seafood boil fix in the area. I'm always appreciative and shocked when…read moreI walk in that the place isn't packed, which I'm NOT complaining about. Spacious and clean! On my most recent visit, we were immediately seated, and shortly after, a server came by to take our order. They provide gloves, an apron, hand wipes, and plastic utensils. I ordered the half-pound mild garlic butter seafood boil with shrimp (without the head), which came with potatoes and corn, and I added sausages. The seafood boil is always tasty. Yummy! I had a cosmo (wasn't strong, but a cute drink to sip while I devoured my seafood boil). Definitely a good spot for seafood boil lovers!

Steamed shrimp were good I just wish they would slit the top of them prior to cooking so its easier to peel. Fried shrimp were ehh okay needs seasoning on them kinda taste like nothing.

The service and staff is amazing! I had not noticed that my wallet had fallen out of my bag. Celeste found it under the table and Frank, the manager, went out if his way to find my phone in the internet and called me to let me know that they had found it. This integrity is unheard off and so refreshing. Thank you Celeste and Frank!

We went to a house show until 5 a.m. the night before and woke up late. Our reso was at 1:30, but…read morewe called and pushed it to 2:30. The hostess said no problem. Great phone voice, by the way. We walked to the restaurant during the purported "heat dome" weekend. Fortunately, the air conditioning is pristine. We sat at the oyster bar and recommend you do so too. Our waiter was great. We should have caught his name but didn't. Either way, he was a real one. P spotted some absolute babe across the bar and asked our waiter what she was drinking. Important side note: attractive people dine here, but not in an intimidating way if you're a normie. Turns out it was a mocktail from the Zero Proof menu. We don't judge. Our waiter then turned us on to an OG move: order a mocktail and add booze. P got the Pink Drink and added vodka. J ordered a Bee's Knees and a Firing Squad. All above average. Anyway, we created an oyster flight and got two of each, working our way across the Eastern Seaboard. The house sauce was fantastic and incorporated some sort of onion and horseradish combination. We don't pretend to understand what that sorcery was, but keep doing it. Create your own GD oyster flight. You won't regret it. We also ordered some shrimp cocktail and shared the lobster roll sandwich. We forgot to take pics, but the generic photo attached is actually how it looks. Not a bad bite. This was the perfect amount of food for two hungover people who took IR Adderall before the walk. We lingered for a while and they don't push you out. Ended up ordering a couple IPAs. They started shucking oysters to prepare for the dinner crowd, which is neat to watch when you're on the spectrum like us. Also, the walls are covered in different oyster plates. We spent about 20 minutes discussing which one was our favorite. We landed on a green one. It's a real vibe lifter of a joint. Brought us back to life. 10/10.

That…read moresaid over the years it has been our go-to, our maybe? and a distant memory for a slew of reasons and change of ownership. In the summertime I practically live on blue crabs and have sourced many places in North Philly to get them. I returned to the Crab Shack yesterday after seeing a revamped operation on social media and their website. We got two dozen and they were cooked perfectly. They also offer an extensive menu of steamed platters with the ubiquitous veggie trio. You can order on line or outside at the store. You can call but I had no luck with that. The young man who worked with me was nice and pleasant. I was allowed inside to look in the cases that had crabs of all sizes already cooked that morning as well as others cooked seafood items. The staff behind the counter are loud and aloof but they care about what they are doing. Give em a try.
