Our son plays in school of rock nearby, and we wanted a beer and perhaps something to bite, as our previous visit to a nearby dinner was meh, we decided to give Mr. Crabby's a try, and we're delighted to find an awesome sports bar, with a wide selection of beers on tap (I really liked their house hazy IPA), pretty good food, and great service! We did sit at the bar today which dominated a large section of the place, has room to sit dozens and as expected from a sports bar, tvs and big screens all around. We came there wasn't a game, so we were pleased to listen to good music as we sat in the corner of the bar. We only sampled a small portion of the menu as we only had 40 minutes, but the fish and chips were spot on, crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, came straight from the fryer without feeling overly greasy. The fries were delicious, and the burger was respectable We def plan to come by next time we need to pass time waiting for our drummer boy. read more

Nice looking place from the outside. Inside is more like a sports bar than a restaurant. Tables were wobbly and the table top was sticky. The waitress came over right away and we ordered two margaritas. They came in 10 minutes and they were very watered down. She never gave us straws and the ice was in chunks not smooth ice for a frozen drink. Not worth it for $15 each My wife ordered beer battered shrimp and I ordered the Snow crab bucket for $50. Dinner came in about 20 minutes. The Shrimp were beer battered but the tails still remained and the batter was not cooked. Very battery. My crab bucket included 2 clusters. 6 small pieces of potato, corn on the cob and all covered in some potato/ carrot kind of sauce. Remember- I have use my hands to crack the crab legs, so all the sauce was all over me. This was frustrating. The crab was fine once I got through it but the potatoes were undone. The common the cob was very good. All considered! I gave the place a 2 and I won't be back unless I go for beers and to watch a game. Choose another place for dinner as there are many choices in the area. read more

Celebrated a birthday here. Atmosphere was great , our waitress Tatianna, was amazing & drinks were perfect. The food however, not so much. I only photographed some of what we ordered but there were 10 meals, total, ordered at our table, so, a variety of tastes. Unfortunately there wasn't any consistency when it came to flavor. The Thai chilli wings must have been seasoned with old bay because that was pretty much all you tasted. The filet mignon while nice & tender, was slightly over seasoned (with salt). The lobster mac had a good amount of lobster throughout it. The Chimichurri skirt steak, though meant to be medium well, was overcooked & over seasoned (with salt). So much so it had to be sent back due to not being edible. The kitchen did replace it & there was less salt but still overcooked. The snow crab boil was ok although it could have used more old bay. The zuppa de pesce, in a garlic butter sauce as well as the kids meals were all decent. The best meal on the table was the chicken bacon ranch pizza: dough was perfect. read more

I was coming home from the the DMV in Randolph when I spotted Mr. Crabby. It is located on Route !0 in Randolph, New Jersey on the shoulder of the East bound lane. I have never visited this restaurant before and it was 4pm a little past my dinner time. The interior is spacious with functional tables spread around and a bar area. Not quite a sports bar vibe and not quite a formal restaurant but definitely a nautical theme. After being seated I was surprised to find out that during Happy Hour they serve drafts of Yuengling beer for $3. Margaritas and Mojitos ($7) tempted me as well. After the hassle at the DMV, I went for my REAL LICENSE, I could really use a $3 Yuengling draft. After chatting with the server I decided on the "Fish Tacos" ($16). The slaw was terrific along with the Pico Del Gallo, avocado and pepper jack cheese. In fact, the tacos were so good that it spurred another draft. While eating my tacos I saw a lobster roll come out of the kitchen and it looked really good. Regrets I had a few but to few to mention. read more

It was our first time going to the restaurant and the experience was horrible. Our appetizers took 45 minutes to arrive. The mussels tasted very funny and in a sauce that tasted like tomato soup. The coconut shrimp was so over cooked the crust was black. Then another 30 minutes for our entrees to arrive. The Lobster sandwich was so dry and flavorless and the crab cake sandwich was ok but definitely not worth the price. Would definitely not recommend. read more

place has gone down hill. portions are smaller but prices are higher . Bar chairs are all cracked place looks neglected. Ordered a thingy thin pizza., no sauce or real mozzarella cheese. Cost 16 dollar not worth 6 cents. Very disappointed in the entire night. Best part waited almost 45 minutes to get a drink Bartender's just walk right by you. read more

Phenomenal experience from start to finish! The food was delicious, but the service truly stole the show. Our server Chris was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. We'll definitely be back! read more

Never again...food was just OK... automatically added 20% tip on the bill and the service was not great... The waitresses were walking around half dressed... didn't know Mr. Crabby's is using Hooters as their new business model.... read more

Very disappointing experience. The restaurant was dirty, the food quality was awful, and the service was far too slow. We waited 45 minutes just for our appetizers and then another 40 minutes for our entrées. That kind of wait would be easier to overlook if the food had been worth it--but it wasn't. The coconut shrimp was raw, which is completely unacceptable. The avocado in the avocado citrus salad was still frozen, and I almost broke a tooth eating the mussels because so many broken shell fragments were mixed into the marinara sauce. Overall, the food was poorly prepared, the restaurant was unclean, and the entire experience was frustrating from start to finish. We won't be returning, and I can't recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Good place for drinks and a late night bite. They always have music over the weekend, which makes fun for a date night. Food can vary depending on what you order, but still good. read more

Mr. Crabby's continues to dissappoint. When I first ate there about a year ago I was impressed with the innovative menus and the quality of the food. I've been there about 4 times since then, and each time the food and the service has gotten worse. Tonight, the table next to us returned three of their four entrees. I ordered zuppa di pesce, which I had enjoyed the first time I ate there. Tonight's version was made up of a skimpy collection of shell fish that was cooked in a thick tomato sauce that would have been better served over spaghetti. Our appetizer- hot crab dip and my partner's entre, shrimp cowboy were equally disappointing. read more

Brittany is a heck of a worker I watched her make drinks then go to the back to run food then seen her making our dessert by herself what an amazing time we had at trivia there on wenesday we also were treated like family by everyone and we even won a gift card lol we will be coming back for more thank you Mr crabbys and Brittany read more

Such a disappointment. When Mr. Crabby's first broke off from the Barn and Cinders I thought it was better. . Empty. Now I know why. They must have gotten a new chef? Waiter recommended an $18.95 app with shrimps, scallops and calamari. Calamari was chewy and gross. I complained. The waiter tasted it and agreed saying it's under cooked. He asked if we still want to take another chance or have it removed? I chose to remove it. I had a chicken parm sandwhich with fries. It was ok but Anthony Franco's pizzeria closer to home is better. Fries were stale. This is Mr. Crabby's. Its 7 pm on a Saturday night. The reason we came here was because everyone else was packed! Now we won't come back either. Waiter was very friendly. I gave it two stars because the waiter was nice. He deserves 5 stars but the seafood was lousy. Chicken parm was ok. My wife had a grilled chicken and apple wedge salad which she said was good. Later that night she had to take Tums. read more

Food was horrible. Fake crab dip. It literally was a bowl full of cheese and sprinkled crab chunks on top. Mozzarella sticks horrible and still cold. To top it off service took forever and could barely understand our waitress. Owner walked around in his "G" suit and acted like he was from the Sopranos. read more

Such a downfall, this place was such great to place to eat and see bands. Servers are very nice. Whomever is running the kitchen should be replaced. The food is now subpar and takes forever. We waited over an hour after ordering an appetizer, a salad and a sandwich. Server was very apologetic. When the appetizer and salad came out, they forgot about the sandwich... When the "on the fly" sandwich was finally brought out over an hour after ordering, it seemed like it was sitting around under the heat lamps and dried up. read more

The food and service were awful. We waited an hour for our steaks and they were all overcooked and ... nobody cared. We waited so long for dinner that we ordered another glass of wine to have with dinner. We were finished with dinner when I found the waiter and told him to cancel the order. I was told I could have it for dessert. Dumb answer. Overpriced and bad. read more

Service was very poor. Food- hamburger took 45 min. Stale bun, soggy fries. No follow up by staff on drinks. Countertop, Glasses and straws were sticky to touch. Bathroom was disgusting. 12 months ago this place was decent. Not anymore. read more

This place has more potential than most local spots, but the last few times I've been here it's been pretty gross. Just went and probably the most disgusting bathroom I've ever seen. The ice bucket at the bar actually smelled, and the beer lines were a hangover waiting. The bartender/server was a nice lady but was serving by herself, the kitchen literally said they weren't going to cook at 6 pm and nothing was served. 25 people drank and weren't served a bite to eat. Pretty wild business model. It's the World Cup and you're a sports bar, figure it out. read more

This place has completely gone downhill. Food was awful-our waitress left us for about 30 minutes only to find out SHE had to make our pizza because they were understaffed (on a Friday night). Unfortunately the pizza came out completely burnt (not her fault). Tried to get a manager to talk to us but they never did. Bathroom was very dirty. We used to enjoy this place but will not be returning. read more

Father's Day. What a waste. Waited 45 minutes for appetizers that haven't arrived yet.

Lots of TVs and a nautical theme. It could be a fun sports bar/restaurant, but it was empty and a little depressing probably because the food sucked. Wings were dry and under seasoned. The salad was wilty like it had been in the fridge for hours. Servers were attentive and doing their best, but I won't be back. read more

A seafood sports bar with an open late kitchen? Count me in! Me and my friends stumbled upon here by accident and ended up having an amazing dinning experience. Our waitor Brian sealed that deal for us. All of his recommendations, attentiveness, honesty and outgoing personality was 10/10 all around. For food we started with the crab and lobster wontons that were so creamy on the inside with a perfect crunch coating on the outside. The lobster roll was greatly stuffed with fresh chunks of lobster and a buttery toasted roll. For raw bar, we got the battleship which was huge and totally worth the money! As for the seafood boil, all the seafood was fresh but they forgot the sauce for it so I feel like i missed the opportunity to taste their boil to the full extend. My friend got the cowboy steak which I loved! The steak melts in your mouth and the spinach was cooked perfectly. Our waitor brian was so nice and upset I didnt tell him sooner about the boil sauce so he gave us a free dessert which was the key lime pie. First of all, I never was into key lime pie but wow! After tasting this one my whole opinion changed. I loved that the pie wasnt the color green (as silly as that sounds), and it wasn't an over powering lime taste. Brian introduced us to the owner and his son and they were extremely nice and informing us on where they get their seafood from which was enjoyable to see the passion they have and also telling us about all the events they do- especially line dancing, how cool and different is that?! I highly recommend checking this place out read more

Absolute joke I'm an establishment. The people who run that place could mess up a cup of coffee. They don't know how to run anything Absolute worst service the owner. I've never seen a guy more full of himself who maybe could pass high school I don't know but definitely has no idea how to run any business and if he did, if he does, he's really good at running it into the ground. The son ornwhatever I don't know what he thinks because he has no clue what he's talking about never seen anybody absolutely make worst decisions and has no clue how to actually be persuasive and not abrasive and then the daughter bartenders. Never Never met a family, more full of themselves and out of touch with reality than what I witness there. they're quite the joke so yeah, anything about that place should probably burn to the ground and I'm sure a group of non-experienced workers could build up a better restaurant than they could ever do with what they have never would go back read more

this was horrible, i ordered the lobster mac and cheese and it tasted like american cheese melted and they tried doing something with it to make it lood good, but not even try to make it TASTE good. the lobster tasted like sand, it was not good. they even got sprite and water mixed up. i asked for a sprite, and they gave me a water. how dumb areyou to give me a water when i asked for a sprite?! read more

I decided to give this place one more opportunity and I was just so let down. I really wanted to like it because I heard it changed owners and it was much better. First I want to say this post is nothing against the bartenders and wait staff, they were friendly and accommodating. I ordered from the specials menu the dry aged NY strip for $42. My meal came and after a few bites I realized not only was the steak not very good and overcooked but it had a really weird taste and odor. I quickly realized the steak was covered in truffles or truffle oil which I despise. I spoke with the bartender who confirmed the onions on the steak are cooked with truffles. I took a second look at the specials menu and no where does it say the meal includes truffles. Thank goodness I'm not allergic. I sent my steak back and the bartender said the manager would only give me half off. That's not how you treat a customer and I was so disappointed by that decision. I included a picture of my meal and the menu below. For me there's no coming back from that I will not be returning. We went to season 52 for dinner after since I had nothing to eat except the mediocre bar pie. read more

Let me start off by saying, I've been here a few times before and the food was good but not like it was today!!! John Frade is back as the executive chef and boy does it show!! Not only did the food come out beautifully arranged to absolutely tantalize those taste buds, but the flavors were certainly out of this world with the salmon dish we had. We also tried the fried shrimp basket I was shocked at how bountiful the shrimp were six jumbo sized breaded shrimp that were loaded with flavor and cooked to perfect perfection. It was accompanied by some delicious fries . The drinks were served with perfection , Alex did an amazing job!!! We sat in the bar area and listened to some great music. The music was not blasting making for a great conversation time while enjoying a great meal and some cocktails!! I must say the changes Mr. Crabbys is making is definitely a step in the right direction. I will absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for good food at a great price. Kudos !! read more

My first impression was not good. The toilet seat in the bathroom was filthy and wet and there wasn't toilet paper. The menu was covered with a yellow sticky coating of something so I could hardly read it. Since a crab entree wasn't on the menu i asked the waiter who said they have king and snow crab. I asked the difference and all he said was one was meaty and the other sweet so we ordered one entree of each so we could share the different crab. The king crab had a very odd taste in spots and the melted butter was very artificial along with tasteless roasted potatoes. so was less than a stellar meal. The worst part was the bill. Strangely the waiter said " I hate goodbyes so I'm going to just drop this off and go. " When I looked at the bill my eyes nearly fell out of my head because they charged me $180.00 just for the king crab meal. If he told me the price i never ever would have ordered it. I assumed it would be around the same as snow crab which was 52.00. I have emailed them and a day later still no response. I will never ever go to that overpriced dump again. read more

Food is very good - enjoyed the oysters & coconut shrimp plus the wine was a generous pour. However, upon receiving the check, even if you pay cash, you are still hit with an over 3% service fee - for what? I was told "processing charge". Granted, they took 10% off for paying cash but kept the 3% on - a little confusing for sure! read more

They really need to button up their service. Went in on a Sunday afternoon. No one on the place seemed to give a damn, specially our server. Consistant Errors in our orders, once the issues were solved the food was somewhat enjoyable. But keeping your guests constantly waiting with empty drinks makes it for a very un enjoyable experience . The front of the house had a very take it or leave it approach. read more

We were there today and we feel like we were disappointed and deceived. First, we wanted to order two Arnold Palmer's iced tea. We were told that all they had was pink lemonade. We then ordered our appetizer, and for our main dish each of us wanted the crab pot. The waiter came back to tell us that they had no crabs. We then order an alternative meal. As other people can in we heard the waiters telling people that the seafood truck would be there in a few minutes but only after they ordered their drinks. We believe that the right thing to do was to tell you about no seafood before you were seated. This way you can decided if you wanted to wait or you had the option of leaving. read more

What can I say, if you're not crabby when you get there, you'll leave that way! Food was terrible! Little tip, when someone orders a dish with Crostini and you don't have any Crostini, let them know. Don't serve the raw bread! Mahi tacos flavorless. Spit out the coleslaw because it had a pound of salt in it. Maybe taste the food before you serve it. On the plus side, great view of Route 10! read more

They should be called Mr. Crappy. Food, Service, and Ambiance horrible. Felt like I was owed money after my visit. Waited over an hour to get food. It was three of us on a Wednesday and the place was empty. There were flies everywhere on my food, dead on the floor and on me while tried to eat. This place will leave you feeling crabby and crappy. Eat here at your own risk. read more

Went in March, the food was awful, and very expensive! Bathrooms were borderline disgusting. Unfortunately will not be coming back.

No stars!!!! I have been going to Crabby's for years and years. I know most of the bar tenders...Chris, Brittany, Brian...to name a few. I've been through the new management and supported this family business. It was a place for people my age (35-50plus) to enjoy music, good food and drinks. I will never go again! I witnessed with my own eyes that they are now letting underage college kids in with fake IDs. On NYE, as of 9:00pm just college kids and underagers. And all it took was giving the bouncer $5!!! I know because my best friend's son did that to get in. My girlfriend and I were sitting at the bar. We had to leave because we were getting smothered by these rude college kids who were continuously in our personal space trying to get drinks with their platinum credits cards. Shame on you Cabby's! Just to make a few bucks?! I hope you get busted and lose your liquor license! read more

We were looking for a place for my mother's 70th birthday party and chose Mr. Crabby's because the variety of the menu gave the non-seafood eaters in the group some options to work with. We made a reservation and, upon being seated, were told we'd have two servers helping us tonight, which was nice because our group can be needy at times. I don't remember either of their names but one was nicer and more courteous than the other, though I wouldn't categorize either as rude. However, there were several occasions where we had to ask more than once for simple things like a cup of water or a to-go lid, which was surprising since we commanded most of the dining room and the place wasn't very busy. They also brought the wrong items to the table a couple of times. The food is good, albeit a bit overpriced. I'm sure I could find a better skirt steak for cheaper than $30 but I didn't leave there feeling like I got cheated. I also ordered a cherry water ice which tasted like syrup over crushed ice with a dollop of whipped cream. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't order it again if I went back. I do recommend the burgers and wings though. Overall, it's a decent spot if you're into seafood or looking for a place to grab a drink and watch a game. read more
