After seeing a TicToc about Pleasure Platters shrimp, I decided to stop by while in Philly. I…read morecalled to check what time they close. Lady on the phone was very nice. I drove to Pleasure Platters to place my order. When I walked in I had to wait until the phone order was complete. I was asked for my order and paid. There was 1 other person waiting for an order. As I waited for my order to be done, DoorDash and people came in to pick up orders & place orders. The wait was kinda long and the guy was a bit overwhelmed. I finally got my order after about a 20-30 minute. When I got in the car I ate a shrimp which was hot and a nice size. The seafood slaw was ok. It has a lot of mayo which I'm not a fan of. The price was $28 which is ok for all the food in the platter & seafood slaw. The food was fried to perfection. Experience was ok. Next time I will try the boiled seafood trays when I'm back in Philly

The meals were well prepared, ingredients fresh, atmosphere comfortable and service friendly, unrushed and timely.

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.

I tried (on different visits) a po-boy, blue crabs, combo platter of sautéed seafood, seafood salad, and fried fish. I enjoyed my meals each time.

I've gone at odd times on odd days so I haven't had an issue with more than one additional person in the space with me during a pickup. Black-owned, decent service, yummy eats!
