Not our first time and won't be our last. Amazing, fast, and fresh food. BYOB and great music…read more Service is impeccable and very wide array of choices on the menu. Individual restrooms and great spacing and parking.

Elements other than food factor in to one's assessment of a restaurant…read more This restaurant is LOUD, particularly the main dining room. We were seated in the secondary room which quickly filled, and was just as loud. Conversation was difficult. Terrible acoustics. Pescatore is popular. I get it. Management wants to accommodate as many people as possible. As such, seating is tight and tables-for-two are postage sized. I can't deny that our meals were good. You can get vegetables as a side rather than mashed potatoes, but there's an upcharge. (I'm guessing they go with potatoes because they can make a batch and quickly ladle it out. Spaghetti -- my preference -- would likely have to be made-to-order. And as I said, the place is busy.) My husband and I shared a house salad which we topped with "fritto misto" - calamari, shrimp and peppers. Very good! He ordered Veal Saltimbocca and I, Chicken Romano. Both recommended, both with portions big enough for another meal. The staff is solicitous and friendly. Everything came out on a timely basis. We like what we ate. We appreciate BYOB. But that noise! I'll give 'em another try on a weeknight. But if it's no better -- arrivederci, Pescatore!

You can find out what's on Mr. Crab's menu by checking his IG posts. I'm always craving blue crabs…read moreand he posts daily so i have ordered from here a few times. The good: Usually a good variety of sizes so you can choose what fits your budget. This is important because 1) I don't always have JUMBO crab money lol and 2) there are some places in town that only offer a pan of crabs in one size at one price. He also lets you order by the half dozen. Again, important because it's your choice. Seasoning is good and cooked well. I don't think I've ever gotten a mushy crab from him. I can't say the same of some others. Constructive criticism: After dealing with BSC for many years until they closed down, I was accustomed to a certain quality and presentation for sautéed crabs. If I'm paying extra to have them cleaned I don't expect the apron attached and damn near all the gills still in tact. Please take all of that off otherwise all you've done is pop the shell. The crabs were thrown in the container willy nilly and I found that the sheet of paper on the bottom absorbed some of the butter and tore up as I was eating but again, they were a good size, cooked well, and tasted good. Still a fan.

Went here yesterday for some crabs to satisfy my cravings. I wanted the crabs to be spicy and…read morethat's what I got! Them crabs were so darn spicy. I also ordered a veggie platter, it was very good as well.

I went online to find someplace to deliver me some Bob's crabs and finally found Postmates. My Postmates driver was on it! I just got my crabs and I totally destroyed one of the sauteed ones. Only because it's so late, I don't have time to devour the other one. I also got four of the $3.00 cooked crabs and ate one of the claws...AWESOME! I can't wait till tomorrow when I have time to eat the rest. Ok, the delivery charges and service charges are outrageous, but I REALLY craved some good crabs so I paid for it but I am savoring every inch of these delicious crabs. I can't go on enough about them. There are places that are closer to me in the neighborhood but they cook dead crabs sometimes and then you get mushy disgusting mess. NEVER that with Bob's. I hope they continue to do business and sate my crabs cravings! YOU GO Bob!

So people were on social media raving about this place. I had a taste and decided to give them a…read moretry. I ordered online. You have to give them at least 30 minutes. I arrived a little early. Parking: tight. They have a little parking lot but that was filled. You can park on the street. They have a walk up window. I gave my number and was told my order would be up. It took more than 30 minutes. I ordered $5 crabs and had them sautéed. There's an extra charge. They came with a sauce. I ordered Buffalo butter. You can order whole crabs. The crabs were ok. They were meaty but I was looking for this great flavor and it wasn't there. I ordered a side of cajun seafood. Omg!! Omg!!!! There was too much cajun seasoning. I could not eat it. Overall I wasn't totally happy with the crabs. I'm not sure what all of the hype was about. I may go back to get whole crabs and make a sauce of my own.

I stopped by 32nd Street Cafe after seeing it on social media because I had a taste for crabs…read more When I walked in, it felt more like a bar than a restaurant. There's a small bar setup in the back and where you would sit at the bar is a grill. very casual, laid-back vibe. I went to the back to take a quick picture and saw two women eating crabs, so I asked them how they were. They said they were just okay and not very meaty, and from what I saw, they did look a bit small. I went back to the counter and asked for a menu, and the woman did hand it to me. I asked about ordering wings, but she walked away without saying anything no I'll be right back or anything. She was more focused on a guy who appeared to be a regular, so I was left just standing there. After waiting a bit and not being acknowledged, I decided to leave. I can't speak on the food since I didn't order, but based on the experience and what I saw/heard, I'm not sure this is a place I'd go out of my way to return to.

I recently enjoyed Sunday brunch at 32nd St Cafe. The portion sizes and prices are very good. I…read morewent early so it was just two of us at first and then we sat so long talking and chewing slowly that more people can in. The bar area opened and the music was turned on. Some nice oldies played at a reasonable sound level that allowed conversation to continue. What I didn't care for was the floors and tables needing a good clean. At 11:37AM I would expect I paper/tissues being on the floor and the tables being cleaned up as soon as the previous patron(s) have finished their meals. There is parking in the neighborhood on 32nd street, Ridge Avenue, a side street and even in the park if you are up for a longer leisurely walk. Otherwise I enjoyed my visit and would return.
