    1LB Lobster Tail 1LB Shrimp no head 1LB Snow Crab Legs
    Reana I.

    You ever just crave some seafood during lunch. Well I arrived here for one of my solo lunches. I noticed the "B" grade on the door. I should've just left after seeing that grade for a seafood restaurant. Nonetheless I stayed and was the only patron. My food came out as soon as I ordered it. Wow never experienced that. I am not a seafood boil type so I figured this is how they do it. My food was flavorful but really salty. Once I got my check. I was so confused there was a $8 service fee. When I asked the waitress she said it's like a tip that's already included. There was a place on the check for the tip also so very sketchy. What bothered me is I got Norovirus after eating at this restaurant. I am sure there are other restaurants like this to choose from, if you can I would do research and check recommendations.

    Great service, great ambiance, great food, and markers!! Staff was friendly and accommodating for our visit. Got the tasty appetizers to us quickly (hushpuppies and kalamari), and the Thai tea is pretty good. You can either get a preset combo for cheaper, or mix and match for a bit more. Got some 1lb Snow Crab Legs / 1lb Lobster Tail boil, and 1lb Snow Crab Legs boil / Fried Shrimp boil, one of which was a preset combo. Roll those sleeves up, you'll be covered in juicy goodness very quickly. The potato and corn is soaking in the sauce as well, and is a great break. Wait staff was present and available throughout without intrusion or complete absentia. Pay experience was a breeze, but snow crab will easily run you into the mid $100s for 2 diners. Value & experience trumps cost. Highly recommended for seafood lovers.

    The food is awesome. The food has great seasoning. However the staff may seem bias or racist. Also the staff rushes people after they are eating. I was eating during lunch time and there was not anyone there. The lady at the front continued staring at me and when I was finish eating she continued to stare. I didn't ask for the check because I was relaxing. In the next minute she hands me the check and pretty much want me out of there. I said thank you after signing the check with a tip. And she didn't answer back. So I think this establishment needs to not have any business because their customer service is awful.

    I really enjoyed crabtown I went back 4 times since. The pricing in good for all seafood and the staff (I'm assuming son and father) were so pleasant and really made sure we were taken care of. I will continue to go back and support this restaurant!

    Trashed food I had for 10 minutes

    I've never been so disappointed in my life.. it was tasteless and just not good. If they didn't "require" a rating I wouldn't even have this one start here. Order at your own tastelessness

    I eat a lot of crab boils in various cities and states and I thoroughly enjoyed Crab Town's food, flavoring and pricing. Their options were not over priced and they have daily specials that I felt like were reasonable. My sister and I tried the fried shrimp with sweet potato fries (yummy). I had crawfish and snow crab legs and she had shrimp and snow crab legs. We are creole and the Cajun flavor did not disappoint. We also tried a side of garlic butter which I would recommend either mixing in or requesting both. Great food and service!

My guy ordered the lobster bisque which came in a coffee mug without much lobster and the fried shrimp which had such a greasy breading it had to be removed. BUT.... They comped my dinner AND gave us a gift card. So coodos to the manager who stood up and did the right thing! I will definitely come back and give them a second chance. I love my Wiggles and my Rake! So I will be fair and return because they stepped up to the plate and treated me right! So please give them a shot.

It isn't huge inside but they use the space so wisely. The kitchen is open to the bar so you can see and hear all the amazing things happening back there which really adds to the local neighborhood vibe. The bartenders there are very sweet and attentive, they help bring the whole experience there to 5 stars. I came on a Wednesday for the $17.99 lobster roll special and it was easily one of the best I've ever had. It is a quarter pound of lobster and you get actual lumps of claw and meat rather than the shredded stuff some other places serve. The butter it's sautéed in is seasoned delicately to accentuate the fresh lobster instead of covering up the taste. The portion was surprisingly large and it comes on a fresh bun that is lightly buttered and toasted. It even comes with a little cup of extra butter which I totally slathered on because I love butter! Every bite was so fresh and soft. The roll comes with fries and I did the optional $5 upcharge for the lobster bisque. That was also the best I've ever had because I've never seen bisque with such large chunks of lobster in it. It was just crazy good. Everything was well worth the price and I'd honestly come back even on days when it's not a special. They have something going on every night like the $9.99 burger and fries on Mondays, so that will definitely be my next reason to visit. I will be back for sure!

We arrived at Clam Castle and as I was about to get out of the truck my cousin text me the viral lobster roll at Supreme Seafood. I told my fiancé I want to go to Supreme Seafood. He said it's only down the street. We arrived and I was very excited. As we walked in we were greeted by the owner and the two young ladies at the counter they were very welcoming and iit was very clean inside. It's a very small establishment with a eclectic vibe and it was quite cozy. Our starters were clam chowder and I had the shrimp corn chowder. It was very flavorful and they didn't skimp on the shrimp. My fiancé ordered a full order of the clam strips with coleslaw and I ordered the $55.00 lobster roll with steak fries and coleslaw. They do have a $40.00 lobster roll which 4 Oz and $80.00 which is 16 Oz of lobster meat. The clam strips were fried perfectly and there is nothing better then tasting that fresh clam they were perfect. My lobster roll had 8 oz of sweet, succulent meaty lobster over flowing in perfectly toasted buttery roll. I had very huge pieces and there were some trying to escape the roll but I won that fight that lobster roll was banging. The new owner informed me that the original owners were there for 35 years. The new owner had been there for 4 years. I told him where I was initially going and he said they had a family that ordered their 2 foot lobster roll that cost a working $230.00. He showed us the lobster roll he prepared and what was left after the family of three which included two adults and a newborn baby. I will definitely return to try the 2 foot lobster roll. If your in North Branford, CT please stop and enjoy all the delicious seafood at Supreme Seafood. To all my Yelper let's continue to eat our way through the world.#Foodie4life.

This is one place that has them, fried to perfection and offers them in their Combination for a small upcharge. I got an order, which was a generous pile of scallops, shrimp, belly clams and filet. I got a separate order of fried calamari with cocktail sauce; another fave. The eat in area is cute and comfortable and the two men, owners, I believe were friendly. I ate about half of my order and took the rest home. Yum!

The new England chowder was water down, even taste a bit sour...(That's strange for clam chowder).. someone dropped a lemon by mistake? .. Fried scallops and fried clam strip no longer taste the same, not as fresh and sweet. Scallops texture is kinda hard to describe but different. .. Fried fish batter was too thick and fish is very dry and bland this time We also has lobster roll it's just ok.... At the end we didn't want to eat anymore Last time when i order, i order everything individually...this time i kept being told combo is $1 different and you get all fries to come with. Don't try the bathroom out there, not very nice. We didn't eat all the food and relatives are not happy with the meal ... So after sharing the feedback they kindly gave us a seafood chowder (thank you)..... The soup is creamy and better than the clam chowder although the seafood is overcooked.

It's situated right across from the beach and they have their own parking lot which is always a plus. It's got a pirate theme going on and there's pirate-related decor all over the place. Definitely feels like a hole in the wall. I went around 5PM and the place was pretty busy. Plenty of patrons eating outside and a bunch more waiting to take their orders to-go. Actually, technically every order is a to-go order. You go up to the counter and order what you want and they give you a buzzer that lets you know when your food is ready. Whether you choose to sit at the tables outside is up to you. But everything comes packaged in takeout containers. Service was quick and friendly. CASH ONLY. They do have an ATM though. I ordered a lobster roll, soft shell crab sandwich, clam chowder, and lobster bisque. Everything was pretty good but the sandwiches were a bit pricey. On the menu they're listed as market price and apparently lobster rolls were $22 and soft shell crab sandwiches were $17 that day. We had the soups first since they were ready immediately. The lobster bisque was ok, but a bit too creamy for my taste. I found myself tiring of the taste after several spoonfuls. I much preferred the clam chowder. It had a great consistency and it was served at a perfect temperature. The flavor was on point as well. I really enjoyed the clam chowder. The lobster roll was good, but not great. To be fair, I'm not a huge fan of lobster so take my opinion with a grain of salt. The lobster was fresh, but I found it to be a little bland. I got the sauteed roll, maybe I should've tried the fried. I really liked the soft shell crab sandwich. It literally looked like they took a whole crab and deep fried it then put it in a bun. It worked though. I especially liked it with the tartar sauce. If you're a fan of seafood, you'll like this place.
