    Crab cake sandwich
    Richard M.

    Great roadside stop for a crab cake sandwich. Shoestring fries weren't soggy at all and they even make tendies for the kids.

    A great local quick bite. Food was good. We got here early. Plenty of counter seats and tables with umbrellas available. A very cute little outdoor shack. Also ordered the garden salad no pic.

    The kids who work here are so so nice (the register girl and the boy at the grill), however, the older man who I will assume was the owner or manager was so unpleasant. I ordered the crab cake sandwich. It lacked any flavor, and had the littlest bit of tartar sauce on it. I would not go back.

    When visiting the area each year, we used to get softshell crab platters here as a snack after a…read moreday at the beach. The fries are still good, but the softshell crabs were disappointing. Not only has the price gone up but almost 8 or 9 dollars, but she crabs themselves seemed smaller and prepared with too much panko crusting. They used to have big beautiful softshell crabs sitting on ice on the retail side, but I didn't notice any this time. Maybe they just don't have them on hand like they used to and maybe these were frozen. Either way, disappointing considering the large price increase (partly due to this item no longer even being on the "takeout menu"). It's on the dinner menu though. Also, they are now charging a credit card fee. If you're in the area and want fresh seafood, just be mindful of what you're getting. See the latest pictures of the takeout menu that I took. Also, there are some other places around to consider.

We started with chowder, one Manhattan and one New England- both fantastic. Two appetizers- the fried clam strips and the tuna tartare sushi - another win/win! For the entrees we took one from the specials, a blackened Mahi Mahi with lemon mashed potatoes and green beans which was sublime. For the other we tried a lobster taco that came with a choice of salad or hand cut fries. We went the fry route. They were great. Notes: it's a small place, they do not take reservations so you will wait for a table, however, they will text you when it's ready. They do sell wine or byob - your choice. They have a fish market and their own fishing boats and are proud to serve their own caught fish. This seems to be a local favorite in the Point Pleasant area. It will be crowded- it will be worth the wait. Come comfortable, it's laid back and it's all about enjoying really good seafood!

There is a to go area, bathroom, and then indoor seating area. They have merchandise behind the register. Started with the tuna nachos and crab rangoon mozzarella sticks. Tuna was good quality and had a good coating of sesame seeds. My perfect bite was tuna, orange sauce, seaweed, tomato, & onion. The chips were perfectly crispy. The crab rangoon was surprisingly good. This appetizer is what made me pick this place. Such a good combination. Didn't need the marinera sauce. Next up soups. Lobster bisque was ok. I guess I was expecting it to be a little more rich. But it was good, it tasted exactly like lobster and I got good chunks in the soup too. Now the shrimp and corn chowder was super flavorful. Favorite dish of the meal. For mains, cold lobster roll and two tails w butter and side salad. Side salad was well dressed and I appreciate the ribbons of Parmesan. The lobster was mostly cooked right. There was one that was a bit chewy. Added salt and butter but felt like something was missing still. I couldn't find a good combo of toppings to go with the lobster. The cold lobster roll was alright. The potato bread added a good sweet flavor that complimented the lobster. Overall a decent meal.

The guy after us ordered the shrimp basket also. An hour and 15 minutes later, they were cleaning the kitchen we had asked about our order several times and we're told it was coming. We eventually just had to get a refund and left. There was a lot of staff there and nobody really was checking up and I understand that it's recently adding but it's Thursday night. I'm not sure what happened but the one girl that was behind the register tried to hand us one fried fisherman's platter instead of broiled that was not fried yet, it was breaded raw fish in a box, once I opened it I just asked for the refund cause they didn't have the other two items And the kitchen have been closed long time. It was well over an hour. I don't know what happened. There was so many people working there and they all saw us waiting, but not one person approached and said they would check on it that they've seen us waiting for a long time. So, I genuinely do not understand how the order was not put in. We did ask several times for an update and were told it was coming. Then they closed. I have left this place several five star reviews for a while now and I genuinely like it, but this was really inexcusable. Not only did they not make the food, but after they were closed, the one girl at the cashier tried to get us to leave with one meal instead of three and it was raw ! I'm so thankful that I opened the box at the register. I am not sure what to say and again we really love this place every other time but this was really shocking. So anyway, about 9 PM we wound up looking around for places that were still open so at least we could have something for dinner. We got to crab shack around seven and ordered by 720, go figure. I hope they're able to get the kinks out with their expansion because we still like them and would like to try it again

The breading, which easily came off of the chicken, did not suit my taste but my other family members seem to like it. The honey, mustard dipping sauce that they had was probably the best honey mustard sauce I've ever eaten in my life. It wasn't too sweet and had the perfect taste. Almost everything I ate that night. I dipped in the sauce (I wish you could bottle it to take home)! Our waitress was phenomenal and the service was top-notch! Overall, the seafood was much better than the chicken. We would definitely come again!
