ATTENTION!!ATTENTION!!ATTENTION!!!! I found my new favorite…read morespot for seafood in Philly! I came across Pleasure Platters on Instagram and I been following PP for a while. After getting my weekly crab pan from Saud's, I decided to stop by Pleasure Platters since she is not too far away. Upon entering, I was greeted by Kendall( hope I spell her name correctly). She gives a very friendly vibe. She was so patient with me and my hubby since this is our first time. Very pleasant to talk with, customer service is definitely top notch. We end up ordering the 12 Colossal Fried Shrimp platter with the fries and seaslaw, Lobster Bisque, #2A steamed seafood combo, and Paradise Punch. Fresh seafood takes a minute to cook, do arrive with time on your hands. We had time today, we didn't mind the wait. When I got my Paradise Punch, that drink is so god darn pretty. I took a sip and I order another one along with Pecan cake and strawberry cake lol. The Paradise Punch was that good! The moment we got home, we immediately dig in lol. Hubby enjoys his Lobster bisque and Colossal Shrimp Platter. He says she got one of the best tasting Lobster Bisque in Philly area. The shrimp platter were tasty as well. Usually steam seafood platters are quite salty, not this one! Pleasure Platters seafood platters are seasoned very well and buttery. I ask for extra butter, but Kendall says to trust her, my platter gonna have too much butter lol. Actually her platter has the right amount of butter for me bc I'm a butter lover lol. Normally I have leftovers such as broccoli and potatoes, FIRST time in my life that everything is GONE!! I ate everything in my steam combo. Told my hubby, we must go back next week!! P.S There is not much parking on the street. But if you drive to the next light, there is a shopping center where you can park then walk to Pleasure Platters!

let me preface this by saying i have never gone into crab shack and had to place an order and wait…read morefor it. i've ordered from them twice through postmates and got fed up with postmates' horrible customer service and decided that in the future, I would be picking up my order any time i had a craving for seafood. i generally love crab shack. it's comparable to the price of other seafood spots. and i pretty much get the same thing all the time when i hit it up once every month or so -- jumbo shrimp and snow crab. i pre order and pick up, and usually pay a visit during the week, and have yet to experience a long wait. admittedly they don't have the most quick or efficient system of getting customers in and out, but the employees have always been pleasant every time i've been in there and i've never had a bad experience. with that being said i really wish i could give a full 5 but unfortunately i don't get consistency with every visit. sometimes the shrimp is overcooked, there's too little butter sauce, too little or too much old bay or too much parsley. (or oregano whichever one they use lol). But when they get it right, it's amazing. Unless i have an absolutely unacceptable experience (hopefully I don't jinx myself) I will continue to be a regular.

He didn't get the mussels though. The waitress was great, the food didn't take too long, the music from the jazz band was enjoyable. When we got the bill, they added the gratuity. Wondering if they do that on everyone's bill? Didn't see a sign about that. I understand for a large group, but why are you adding the tip for 2 people? I gave the waitress extra because they only added a 15% tip.

We have been going to this restaurant for years. Last Saturday night was so awful there, we will…read morenot be returning because of three incidents. I called for a reservation on Sat. afternoon for that evening. Was told to come at 5:30pm (!) because they were going to be crowded later. No additional customers came to be seated outside. A handful of customers arrived for dinner after 6pm. When we asked why we were told to arrive so early, the manager said that the kitchen gets crowded, so they have to limit the number of customers to not "overwhelm" the chef. But at 5:55pm, there were only 3 couples inside and we were outside. We think that it may have been a simple mistake, but we will never know. The second problem is that for the last two Saturdays there, they have been hosting a daycare center (?) with several kids running around pretending to water the plants, playing with the hose, etc. for over 1 1/2 hrs. The outdoor dining area was soaked. Not optimal for a Saturday evening dining with a fine wine. Also, the outdoor music speaker was broken for at least 2 weeks. No music to enjoy. Just the screaming kids. Lastly, our check listed prices that were higher than those on the menu. Normally, we would not have even paid attention. But we were so unhappy already, we asked for a menu. Perhaps we were mistaken? No. We were told that they are raising their prices, but the new menus were not yet printed. We suggested that, to avoid further confusion, they simply charge the prices that were listed on the menu. And this is where the worst insult came in for us. The manager said that if we were worried about a few dollars, then we were......(cheapskates was implied, not spoken). We didn't argue. We wished them well. For several years we have enjoyed La Piovra and before that the Trattoria Sicilian. The food is decent to very good, and the atmosphere had a relaxing, European feel. It has now turned into an active daycare on a Saturday night with an insulting, fundamentally dishonest manager. And an honest apology would have sufficed.

In the summertime I practically live on blue crabs and have sourced many places in North Philly to get them. I returned to the Crab Shack yesterday after seeing a revamped operation on social media and their website. We got two dozen and they were cooked perfectly. They also offer an extensive menu of steamed platters with the ubiquitous veggie trio. You can order on line or outside at the store. You can call but I had no luck with that. The young man who worked with me was nice and pleasant. I was allowed inside to look in the cases that had crabs of all sizes already cooked that morning as well as others cooked seafood items.
