I stopped in here tonight (Friday night) after a long day at work. I saw an Instagramer post a…read morereview and thought ain't no way it's that good! Well he ain't lie!! The sausage was THE BOMB and better than anything else on the plate even though the shrimp and crablegs were seasoned amazingly! Honestly the whole plate was delicious! But I'd come back for just a sausage. I mean it was spicy and DELICIOUS!!! This place can't hold me in a "trap" but I think it might! This is going on my fave list!! Plus the older gentleman at the counter was warm and welcoming. He said it was a busy evening but remembered my order when I left my ticket in the car. Now if you don't call ahead, you gonna wait BUT this will be THE BEST wait you have for a to-go meal. Yes, I said it's to-go! There's a few bar stools but plan to take your meal home so you can rub your feet together while enjoying your feast in your pj! And like me, you'll be "crap trapped!"

Omg, omg, O-M-G, the food here is amazing. We thought the restaurant was a sit down but no matter,…read moreit still tasted great in our hotel room that was 30 minutes away. We splurged on the Big Dog Platter and it did NOT disappoint. Staff was very helpful and friendly. They were kind enough to give us dessert for hubby's birthday. We will be back for sure. Thank you Crab Trap, you guys made the birthday boy (and me) really happy!

Unassuming on the outside, exceeds expectations on the inside! We went on a Tuesday, seems like a…read morequiet day to go. Business was brisk but we were quickly welcomed by one of the servers. She let us pick a table and said our server would be there shortly. Hazel stopped by shortly after and apologized for the wait (we didn't really wait). She took our drink order and said she'd be right back, she was. Having not been there before, we asked for recommendations. She gave us several but was not overwhelming. She was super patient when we went to order and gave us excellent opinions about our selections. The fried calamari was yummy, breaded just right and flavorfull. The main courses came out quickly and prepared to perfection. I got the ribeye (thanks Hazel!) while my family got seafood. It was hard to pick from all the amazing sides, my wife contemplated having only sides for her meal! Hazel was very attentive and even indulged me when I asked a bunch of questions. All in all, a HUGE win where I didn't expect it. Thank you Hazel and the Fishin Hole for a memorable meal and evening.

Stopped in one afternoon for a bite to eat recently. Kind of tried on the inside, dark paint and…read moreinterior makes the place feel dated and depressed. Our server was absent, she showed up and got our drinks then disappeared? It was another ten minutes or better before returning. She seemed to be preoccupied, one of the other servers actually helped us with a couple things because ours was nowhere to be found. Fried green tomatoes to start. They were good, well prepared and nicely seasoned. Red snapper grilled with a loaded baked potato, pinto beans, and hush puppies for my dinner. It was okay, the fish was overcooked a little. The spud was baked hours well ahead of service and was hard in spots. The pintos and puppies were okay and pretty decent flavor wise. It was an okay meal, not great not bad. Okay. Coconut shrimp, as an add to our meal, we ordered half a dozen. They were also okay. 3 Stars it served its purpose 01280

I had 1/2 lbs. of shrimp that came with potatoes, sausage, boiled eggs, and corn. The star of the show, however, was the sauce! At one point, I actually grabbed a spoon and just ate the sauce.

Server let us know the kitchen was closing soon, so we put in our order promptly. Food came out HOT and FRESH. Very pleased with our experience. Music was at a moderate comfortable volume. Only thing, this restaurant is pricey. Just be aware. The wood grilled shrimp was worth, maybe, about $16 at best. Overall... well prepared and presented nicely. Service was good and accommodating, even near closing time on a Wednesday. Wednesday, May 20, 2026

There's always a variety of oysters from five or six different locations, and today, I had to compete with my daughter and grandson to get my fair share. You want to take advantage of the variety, it makes for a an outstanding eating experience. The restaurant sits right on the Tennessee River, it's a great spot to sit, relax and enjoy the wonderful food. While the seafood is wonderful, there is a variety of offerings that include some Mexican, some barbecue, fresh sandwiches and salads. Service is always top notch.

We ordered the Sailor's Boil, which came with crab legs, shrimp, lobster, potatoes, and corn. The sauce was delicious, as was all the seafood and sides. We had a piece of strawberry cheesecake for a birthday dessert, which was also delicious. Be prepared to be messy and to work for your food (cracking the shells). I would highly recommend visiting for a nice night out.

While the sirloin isn't my favtcit of meat it was cooked perfectly and what flavoring I felt to needed I added. If you are ever in this beautiful part of Alabama it is so worth the stop!
