    Local staple to the seafood delicacy of the town! For years my colleagues have spoken wonders about this location saying their crab is heavenly , tastes fabulous and good for family gatherings. Today at the table I choose the mushroom crab and soup- I would not recommend the conch as I have had authentic Bahamian and this was more minestrone when I requested to change to chowder it was fantastic! My friends taught me the skill of breaking the crab and how to have the variety of flavors all in the bucket. Essential for large family gatherings and the house was full of groups. It gets very busy out the door on major holidays but the service was quick, food and as delicious and parking in the future will fill up.

    Spinach and artichoke dip

    Every single time we visit the area this is a must do stop. We came in for Sunday lunch and was seated immediately. The staff is always super friendly and was happy to have us there. The ambiance was nice and inviting. Restaurant was clean and the music was enjoyable. For food: we started with 3 appetizers. Crab cake, lobster bits, and spinach and artichoke dip. Everything was fresh and a great portions. Their strawberry lemonade is delicious for entrees we got the snow crabs, blue crabs, burger, surf and turf burger and fries. All delicious! Can't wait to come back next trip to try some more menu items.

    Yet another excellent visit. Food was fantastic. Service was great! The crab nachos were amazing!! The blue crabs were seasoned and cooked to perfection. I will continue to come back!!

    Linguine

    Rigging Crabhouse turned out to be a really pleasant spot for a relaxed seafood meal. I started with the fried soft-shell crab appetizer, which was a standout right away; crispy on the outside, tender inside, and a great way to ease into the meal. The Caesar salad that followed was cold, crisp, and nicely dressed, with that classic, familiar flavor that just feels right with seafood. For my main, I had the blackened mahi-mahi sandwich with a side of rice pilaf and linguine in a light butter-and-oil sauce. The mahi was fresh, nicely seasoned, and cooked just right. The rice pilaf was fluffy and well seasoned without being salty, a simple but solid side that soaked up the flavors from the fish. The linguine was a nice change of pace. It was light, not weighed down with a heavy sauce, with just enough butter and oil to coat the pasta and make it feel comforting without being too rich. I finished with a flaming crème brûlée, which was a fun touch and a nice way to end the meal. The caramelized top had a good crack to it, and the custard underneath was smooth and enjoyable. Overall, it was a comfortable, low-key experience with good food, thoughtful sides, and a dessert that rounded out the whole visit.

    Our group had such an awesome time last Saturday night for dinner... There were five of us -we requested a hightop table in the bar area, and between the great service, the great food and the dive bar/crab house vibe, it was an experience to remember! Dave was our waiter (maybe even overheard he was one of the owners?) And he was super informative and helpful in terms of what to order. Hot tip - he asked us if we had reserved any crabs for our Maryland crab order and we hadn't so keep that in mind... They will accept holding crab for your party. We opted to go with a dozen of the large Maryland blue crabs. They are steamed in beer and vinegar and topped with an old bay type seasoning that was not overpowering... You can get butter, garlic, butter vinegar whatever you want on the side, the butter was really a nice touch. They had other sized crabs, including small/medium, jumbo and colossal, but from experience, we know that the smaller the crab, the sweeter the meat, but we didn't want to be picking for hours so we went with the large and we were totally pleased! I would go with the large again! We were with an experienced crab eater, but if we were not, Dave would've given us a demonstration on how to eat it properly and get as much meat out as you can. Four of us shared a dozen crab and a rack of ribs. It was actually the perfect amount of food. Though I could've eaten more crab lol We were there for 2 1/2 hours- I always love a dinner that is the main event! To finish up, we all shared a piece of the Keylime pie and it was very very good. Highly recommend checking this place out!

    This review is 3.5 stars...wish Yelp allowed 1/2 stars. Their seafood is really good! I had a crabcake sandwich that was delicious, all crab, no filler. It came with one side, I chose asparagus, it was a large portion. One of my friends had the double lobster tails and really enjoyed them. Another had 1/2 dozen Maryland crabs. When we arrived the staff at the front desk mentioned the berry cobbler, which needed to be ordered 20 minutes in advance and was enough for 2 people. I ordered it and was disappointed. It is enough for 2 people, however it's not a cobbler, it has pie crust on top, which is heavy. Cobbler should have a light, crumbly topping. For $15, they could have given you 2 scoops of ice cream, instead of 1 since 2 people are eating it.

    Stone crab

    We having been going here from time to time over the years. Recently I won a stone crab dinner for two from an Instagram giveaway. I made a 6:30 reservation for a very busy Friday night. The stone crabs were amazing. I also ordered the French onion soup, Holy Moly delicious. We had two cocktails, which were very good also. If you do not arrive at a early time, their parking lot will probably be full, and you have to park in the supermarket parking lot. They have a separate bar, which is usually packed. For a seafood place , the prices are pretty reasonable. Plenty of items on the menu to choose from. All the appetizers that were coming out all looked very good. Our server was great, a huge thank you to the Riggins owner for doing such a great giveaway.

    Such fresh crab here and Dave was the best! We didn't know what to order and he helped us out! Comin back for the crab and for the Dave.

    First visit... Love it here. Laid back, authentic, high quality, family atmosphere. Wow, the chow if fresh, delish! Started with Lump Crabmeat Cocktail... great. Heard the Onion Soup was good... it is! The Stuffed Lobster is "stuffed" with their crab cake, placed on top. So good. Sides of Cole Slaw and their Potatoes... perfect. Service from Shana was awesome! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    Medium Blue Crabs

    Found this restaurant accidentally (just got off the freeway to get gas) and so glad we did! Haven't had Maryland-style crabs since I was up there about twenty years ago. So good and so worth the effort to crack the crabs open. Glad I got the medium size instead of the half-dozen of small crabs, that would have been a lot of work! Unfortunately my fiancée didn't like his order. He really wanted the Admiral Platter but they ran out of king crabs. He got the Riggins Sea Raft instead, not knowing that almost everything was breaded.

    Came here with some friends for a late lunch after church. The atmosphere was relaxed, but the service was noticeably slow but we packed our patience. That said, our waitress was very kind and did her best, even though she was clearly overwhelmed by the busy Sunday crowd. I kicked things off with a strawberry margarita with a sugar rim. Sweet, smooth, and surprisingly strong. One was all I needed to start the afternoon off right! For my entrée, I went with the grilled salmon and a loaded baked potato, with scampi butter on the side. It took about an hour for our meals to arrive, which was frustrating, but we made the best of it. The salmon itself was just okay. Cooked well but lacking in flavor. Thankfully, the scampi butter added a nice boost. The real standout of the meal, though, was the loaded baked potato. Hot, hearty, and loaded with toppings. I was satisfied. Overall, the experience was a mixed bag: good company, a tasty drink, and a delicious side, but weighed down by the long wait and underwhelming entrée. I might have to stick to the crab legs here.

    Maryland Crab Soup

    First time dining at bar. With Amanda's hospitality, it will not be last. Even the medium blue crabs are meaty and flavored the only way known to a Marylander! I gotta stop typing and enjoy this feast!

    Shrimp & Crab Pasta
    Diane R.

    Kinda old Florida place or felt like it. Everyone as we came in all very welcoming, pretty awesome! It's a casual place, not loud or crazy. We started with an app of clam strips which we really liked, yummm!! I had the shrimp trio with baked potato and coleslaw.it was okay, the shrimp were butterflied into round which made the fried ones and coconut ones so thin. It was like having just breading, the garlic ones were grilled on a stick tasted not right. Husb had the shrimp and crab pasta, which came with a huge portion of pasta, the seafood was like a cream glob on top. Service was friendly and efficient well above the norm. Looks like the most popular is the blue crab, plenty of options.

Answered all questions I had. Ordered the shrimp + crab boil $25 mint lemonade $3 + added on sausage $5. Food took 20 mins or so for my boil. Which I thought was a little lengthy but well worth the wait. 10/10. Supple amount of butter, the crab portion was great and so was the shrimp!! Loved the corn + soft potatoes, will definetly be coming back anytime I'm in the area. Mint lemonade was great too!!!!! Cons: The crab legs left on display to take home did not look good, which is ironic because the crab in my boil was GREAT!!!! The bathroom is horrible. The smell, having to walk past a used fryer to use it- only washed my hands but didn't see a lock so not sure. Personally didn't like the beef sausages, was really tough to eat Also just because I love hot sauce: HATED having to use packets, but to even it out they had real high quality gloves- plastic but they don't slip off like the others!!! .... honestly 5/5 even with all of that because the service, price, and quality like that is hard to come across so I'll deal w the nasty bathroom

The krab salad was also pleasant. I would definitely order from here again.

We came here for dinner last night and we were seated with a direct ocean view. This is one of the few places that is literally on the beach that you can have dinner. It was around 7 PM so there was shade and cool evening ocean breezes We ordered the whole snapper which was a whopping 2 1/2 pounds and the grouper. The snapper was obviously meant for two people because of the amount of rice and vegetables they included with the snapper. It was excellent. The grouper came in some type of coconut sauce, which was amazing. We were dipping our snapper in the sauce for the grouper. If I was to make any type of recommendation, I would recommend adding a side of this sauce to the snapper and that would just make it a perfect dish I had a watermelon Mojito. The drinks here are ridiculously expensive at $17 a cocktail. And it's not like they come in a huge glass. They come in a regular wine glass. They do say that all the ingredients are natural and nothing is artificial, so maybe it's worth it to pay that much to not have a bunch of junk in your drinks. The service was slow. Although friendly. When we arrived, there was not that many people eating so I was surprised when after 30 minutes we still had not gotten the cocktails. Our waiter said it was because there was only one bartender and he was 15 minutes behind on his orders. I find this pretty amazing that a restaurant like Benny's cannot hire more than one bartender so that the people who come and pay what is not really a moderate amount but pretty expensive for their entrées, but still have to wait 20 minutes to get their drinks. It was only for this that I took off a star. When I order a cocktail, I like it brought out within five minutes and not to drink during my dinner. Dinner was also very slow and we got our entrées about 45 minutes after our order. But all in all, it was an amazing experience and we will be back.

I was hoping for a table on the pier itself but I didn't specify in my reservation. Either way, we enjoyed a great meal with an ocean view. Food was fresh and delicious.

Topped with pineapple, relish and goat cheese, my taste buds were loving it! A must try drink is the watermelon martini. Made with Tito's vodka and garnished with a juicy slice of watermelon. After dinner we watched the sunset on the pier. Benny's change $1 per person to access their pier but it's so worth it. The pier seemed to be a popular spot for fishing as there were a lot of families casting lines into the ocean. It was a beautiful evening at Benny's.
