I ordered a dozen male mediums, for $75 - somewhat heavy, could have been steamed a little better. I love a crab, where there is little effort in the picking and the claw meat, slides out.

This is strictly take-out, only. You either order by phone or from their store's window. The owners were very friendly.

EVERYTHING YOU WANT AND MORE!!!!! We first visited water street a few months ago. We were tired of…read morethe resort food at GWL and couldn't endure another generic, fast food meal. We started looking up restaurants and Water Street popped up. When we pulled up, we weren't sure if we were at the right place. Based on the raving reviews, we expected a "flashy", fancy place. Instead it was so "unassuming." Upon walking in....it was just what we needed. It felt "home-y." The hostess greeted us with a warm smile and "welcome," along with some salt water taffy. Then we met our server Caden. He was outstanding!!!! He could tell we needed some good food and drinks and boy did he deliver. My husband and I took his recommendations and ordered the "banana old fashion" and crab crostini...HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Then we met Cassie!!! She'd stopped by to see if our daughter (9) needed a refill. Her personality, hospitality, and attention was incredible. Between Caden and Cassie, we laughed so hard, quickly forgetting about the long day we'd had. Traveling often and coming from PA; good customer service is rare. So to find somewhere that makes us feel "right at home," is a blessing. My husband and daughter agreed, we had to come back. We returned yesterday for the second time but this time with our family (from ATL). We'd spoken (more like bragged) so much about our last experience, that they were just as excited as us to return. Once again, we saw our girl Cassie (who was just as amazing as the first time) and our server Jamie. Everything from the Chesapeake fondue, calamari, and cream of crab soup to the drinks and the double crab cakes (P.S they are huge...could barely eat one) were incredible. By the end of our meal, our family was just as impressed! Thank you Jamie and Cassie for such a unforgettable experience. We will be back again!!!

The tables still wobble, though and we forgot to bring our wooden boards, preventing us from hammering and hammering on those small, flimsy plastic knives. Shared this with the owner, who offered us two boards and thanked us for the idea. I hope goes with our advice. And dessert, non-existent; I stressed to the owner that a crabby mouth needs to be washed with dessert. He said, there may be something in the future. I hope it's cake!! We'll see. So happy Lancaster has steamed crabs, just like my hometown of Maryland.

Same with our food orders and didn't blink an eye when one asked if she'd do separate checks. (I live in California. Many restaurants refuse to do separate checks.) I had the salmon. It was delicious. Two of my friends split a bucket of crabs. All of our meals were excellent. There is free parking in the back. I very highly recommend Woody's.

This place had been on my radar for a while, but when I recently learned that Grappling Crab Shack…read morewas serving Crab Stuffed Deviled Eggs, there was no longer any point in delaying the inevitable. A crabby dinner needed to happen...immediately! I recruited an adventure buddy and we made plans to meet at Grappling Crab Shack's creekside home base on a rainy Saturday evening. We arrived around 5pm, about an hour before closing, and thanks to the rain, we had the place almost entirely to ourselves! If you've never been, Grappling Crab Shack is a local family-owned business specializing in fresh Maryland blue crabs, gourmet crab cakes, seasonal seafood specialties, catering and a food truck that travels throughout the area. It's one of those hidden gems that feels like you've stumbled onto a local secret. Since it was our first visit, we decided to do what any reasonable seafood lovers would do....order basically everything! First up were the Crab Stuffed Deviled Eggs ($18 for six). Holy. Cow! These were TREMENDOUS! The filling was loaded with crab, each egg was topped with a little bit of bacon and they disappeared from the plate embarrassingly fast. If you visit Grappling Crab Shack and don't order these, I genuinely think you're making a mistake! Next came the Cajun Jambalaya ($10) with chicken, smoked sausage, tomatoes, trinity vegetables and Cajun spices. This was excellent. Smoky, flavorful, and carrying just enough heat to let you know it was Cajun without setting your face on fire. My adventure buddy never once reached for hot sauce, which says a lot! Then came the Cheesy Crab Bites ($15). These might actually be my favorite surprise of the evening. Homemade crab cake mix blended with mozzarella, cream cheese and garlic, rolled in panko and Old Bay, fried until golden and served with a house remoulade. I'd choose these over mozzarella sticks every single day of the week! The cheese pulls were absolutely glorious, and the remoulade added the perfect tangy finish. Finally, we tackled the Gourmet Crab Cake ($17). This thing was HUGE! Made with fresh Maryland blue crab, it was beautifully seasoned, perfectly cooked, and held together much better than several crab cakes I've had recently. I'm actually glad we skipped ordering it as a sandwich because the crab cake itself deserved to be the star of the show. Our total came to right around $60, and considering how much food we ordered, plus the leftovers we both brought home, I thought it was money well spent. We grabbed one of the covered tables out back overlooking the yard and listening to the creek rush by. Despite the rain, it was a really relaxing place to enjoy dinner. I can only imagine how nice it is on a sunny summer evening. The staff couldn't have been kinder, bringing everything out to us with smiles and making us feel right at home. This place is an absolute hidden gem and one of my favorite seafood spots to have checked out in the last few months! I'll definitely be back, preferably on a dry evening when I can fully enjoy the creekside setting. If you love crab, seafood, or just supporting awesome local businesses, don't sleep on Grappling Crab Shack. And whatever you do...order the deviled eggs!

One day last month my wife and I wanted to have some steamed crabs for dinner. All the places we saw only had female or medium crabs and as a rule my wife actually wants to early big crabs. She says smaller crabs aren't workers the trouble and although the bigger crabs cost more, after eating find the cost is about the same. Well we stopped by this little place and I asked for Jumbo , to my surprise Ed and Lucy had a dozen left of Jumbos. I ordered and wow is all I can say. Big and full plus he seasons then perfect. Gives you free brown paper too. lol Well these crabs were so good when I gave grandkids come in from other areas , I call and order. Never have been disappointed. As a matter of fact I called for what I think was the 3rd order this week. My grandson from UNLV was visiting and wanted crabs. I got 3 Bozeman of his biggest and 4 emweee not just Jumbos but 9 inches and one 10 inches point to point but the real thing is how great they tasted. I also ordered shrimp and yes they also had amazing flavor. Mr Ed and Lucy we will be back for a 4tg order soon.By the way my wife said to say thank you for carrying the crabs to the car. This little place near the Sheds for sale is a great place to get steamed crabs from. Only two people work here and it's best to order a day or two in advance but I think you can just drive up as well as I did my first time and loved the crabs

There are other parking lots throughout the town which would allow you to be close to the restaurant. There's a bar area, and a dining area. They do have outdoor seating as well. We sat at the bar. Super nice servers. You can tell they are happy and that this is a place where they focus on customers. Could see that there were several locals eating and drinking. Seemed many regulars were there. Ordered onion rings that were delicious. Then had 2 burgers - The Heater (no bun) and the monthly special which had sloppy Joe on it. The Heater was good. The sloppy Joe one was meh as the sloppy Joe part was very light as far as serving size so could barely taste. The burgers themselves are absolutely delicious! They use local butchers burgers (Bowman Butchers). You can clearly taste the difference. So good. We got fries with one (get those) and tots with the other (skip these). This is a terrific place to get good food and wonderful service. We didn't do drinks, but the bar is fully stocked and they have lots on tap. Worth a stop!!
