    Date of service: 2.3.24 Ambiance: Not any real ambiance. Decor is themed in a fisherman's setting (nets & anchors etc) I do like that they have more booths than tables but this poses a problem if you're coming with a large party. Service: We had a very nice young lady as our server. Very accommodating from the start. There were a few things that we noticed our service lacked towards the end that I believe had to do with the fact that we weren't ordering anymore drinks, like the other tables. Which we would have if we weren't just ok with what we were served thus far. I never received the bib she was supposed to bring me so I just made one with the paper towels. All in all it wasn't a bad experience with her. We did leave her a $20 tip Food: This place has changed TREMENDOUSLY. I can see why they are trying everything to drum up business. I ordered an original flavor crafty crab seasoning mild. When I got it, it was bland and not much sauce at all to try and dip my seafood in. Added bonus: they also had karaoke here and the music was so loud that we could not hear each other talk. It seems to be turning into a lounge now.

    Had taste for some good ol seafood. Didn't feel like making the drive the Captain Whites so Crafty Crab will do. Excellent choice might I add! Since removing my braces I can enjoy corn on the cob! My seafood was excellent...fresh and I opted for the Boom sauce with medium heat. It was season just right. I also ordered hush puppies, shrimp basket and some lemon pepper wings!! The wings were perfect! And not salty at all. I was a little nervous there but surprisingly impressed. Only thing that was missing was some good ol sweet potato fries, but they were out of those ;((( & still hit a 5 stars rating because our server was top notch! **people will always remember how you make them feel...*** I love a good waiter/waitress who actually enjoys their job and has awesome personality. Our waitress was awesome! Awesome service, delicious seafood...& I won't have to cook tonight because my hunnies going to enjoy these left overs! Sounds like an all around WIN to me! Happy Yelping!

    I really don't understand why this location is scoring bad points. The food was great !! The price is reasonable!! The location was nice. The ambiance was cool. The flavors was on point. And they even have specials (ask about them) Also it's not overly crowded and the music selection is nice. If I could say one thing that needs improvement is training the waiters on the importance of customer service. I was a little frustrated with my my waiter . The fact I could never find him when I needed things. And when I was ready to pay my bill he was gone for an extended amount of time.

    It used to be a good place to chill! Food but specially the service are getting terrible every time. We went to celebrate a birthday, we remained our waitress to bring stuffs more than twice and she completely forget to bring my dessert. The only times that she and another waiter showed up to the table frequently, was to ask if we need the check, it felt like they were pushing us lo leave the place.

    Shrimp Boil

    If you've never ever had "a boil" this is a good place to try one. However, it is not at all the best...it's good, but not "smack your mama good". I guarantee you can make your own at home and it will be just as good if not better. And it will probably be better. We also ordered fires and hush puppies. They were both mediocre at best...not bad, not good, just a little okay. The bog question is was it worth what I paid? I'm glad you asked, it was. The food was priced right and the portions were generous. Question 2, will I go back despite all I said above? Yes, yes I would. I didn't try everything on the menu so I would go back but I'm not rushing to get there. It will happen when it happens. Last, the young man that helped me was good with his service, just like the food he wasn't great nor was he bad. He just got the job done. Until next time. For now I'll stay "crabby" and hope for a better tasteful experience next time.

    Tiami was our server and she was amazing . The food was cooked really well and the service was quick. I had lunch with a friend here at 2pm and we were sat within minutes, the restaurant was not Crowded a had a handful of couples dining at the same time . My friend had coupon from the mail which was honored . Taimi did inform us of their specials. Happy Hour starts at 3pm and end at 8pm . I had order the fried calamari which was a decent amount for $10 and then my main Entree was the Autumn Special for $34.99 with the Hot Seasoning . The boil was hot and very well distributed I highly recommend it . The food did not disappoint and I will be returning sooner rather than later

    Grand opening!

Flavorful and buttery without the heavy garlic. Try the Lemon Pepper/Cajun blend. Why is the seafood so fresh? No fishy taste. Why are the hush puppies little balls of happiness? Soft in the middle with a firm bite. Why was the strawberry lemonade so refreshing? It wasn't even house made, yet it tasted amazing. The space itself has somewhat dim lighting with a large bar, perfect for drinks and seafood boils. Or seafood baskets. Or wings. Or various other appetizers. Parking is plentiful and TVs are placed strategically throughout. They also have a 90-minute AYCE special. I wasn't feeling adventurous and the entire table needs to partake, but it's worth it if you have a huge appetite. The table across from us ordered shooters but we wanted to save room for the boil :D Would I return? Absolutely. 100%. Worth every single penny, and the waitress also made sure that we were comfortable. The Pick 3 for $39.99 is an excellent deal. ***This also looks like a place that stalkers would NOT be welcome. Meaning if you went out of your way to cause a scene, it wouldn't work in your favor. Just a heads up :)

There are surprising number of chicken options here for a place called, "This Is Seafood", but not quite as many seafood options as I hoped. I was really looking forward to getting an order of fried scallops for lunch and I was a little disappointed they didn't have them on the menu. I decided to get the Combo #4: 3 whole wings, 6 fried shrimp, and my choice of 1 piece of fish and side dish. For my fish, I chose fried catfish and for my side I chose hush puppies. The combo also came with a fountain drink. I decided to mix their house-made lemonade and house-made iced tea and it made the perfect half-and-half. The wait wasn't too bad, as the food was being freshly made. It was piping hot and crispy when I received it. Those shrimp were huge! Some of the biggest fried shrimp I've ever had...And not those butterfly shrimp either. Whole shrimp, and the tail was removed so I didn't have to worry about accidentally crunching on one of the shells. The catfish was delectable! Perfectly seasoned, delightfully crispy, and absolutely melted in my mouth. So good. I'm coming back for the catfish if nothing else. The wings were perfectly fried, nice and crispy, but they were a bit too light on the seasoning for my taste. And the mumbo sauce tasted too similar to barbecue sauce. I did not like that, so I ended up saving the rest of the wings until I got home to put my own mumbo sauce on them. The hush puppies were also really good. I like that they were fried perfectly and weren't greasy... Even after reheating them. Overall, my lunch cost me about $25 and it was enough food for at least two meals. Can't beat that. I'll be back for that catfish.

Recently I went with a group of family, some from out of the area, as it is convenient, the food is good, and is a good introduction to Bay life. While my out of town family thought it was great, I was honestly a little disappointed with the food. First, however, the entire staff were incredible and it is hard to beat the setting. Everyone was friendly, authentic and helpful. One of our group was celebrating a big birthday and the Cantler's team made him feel very special. Second, some of the food was very good such as the fresh oysters, oyster chowder and the hush puppies. Unfortunately, a lot of the food wasn't great, especially the seafood sampler and the crab cake. Maybe we should have asked for the crab cake and sampler to be broiled rather than fried, and that may have been why we were disappointed. The crab cake was particularly disappointing as it seemed mostly leg and backfill meat with a fair amount of filler and then deep fried. Will I go back, mostly like because of the staff and the gorgeous setting, but will only order steamed crabs to pick.
