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.

This is our go-to spot for a seafood boil fix in the area. I'm always appreciative and shocked when…read moreI walk in that the place isn't packed, which I'm NOT complaining about. Spacious and clean! On my most recent visit, we were immediately seated, and shortly after, a server came by to take our order. They provide gloves, an apron, hand wipes, and plastic utensils. I ordered the half-pound mild garlic butter seafood boil with shrimp (without the head), which came with potatoes and corn, and I added sausages. The seafood boil is always tasty. Yummy! I had a cosmo (wasn't strong, but a cute drink to sip while I devoured my seafood boil). Definitely a good spot for seafood boil lovers!

Anyway, it always seems fairly empty but there is usually a steady flow of a few people coming in and out. As you walk in, it's open and CLEAN which is very important to me. The crab legs and very well priced drinks NEVER disappoint, the sauces are amazing and the service is also consistent. This is one of my favorite places to eat in Philly!

This integrity is unheard off and so refreshing. Thank you Celeste and Frank!

We got there around dinner time 7pm and waited like 5 min to be seated at the bar area where we could watch then shucking oysters all evening long. It's truly an art. We had a variety of oysters, some grilled octopus and a seafood medley that included scallops perfectly cooked, shrimp, swordfish and some potatoes. It was all very good and staff was attentive and helpful throughout our meal. The restaurant is an open design that can get quite loud but that's just the lively nature of great food!

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. The staff behind the counter are loud and aloof but they care about what they are doing. Give em a try.

All I can say is WOW! From the soft bread you get at the beginning of the meal to the branzino and…read moregnocchi down to the tiramisu, everything was delicious. The branzino had a nice crispy crust without ruining the integrity of the branzino and the sauce that came with it was delicious. We told the waiter we were sharing the branzino and they were kind enough to split it up for us into two separate plates. The gnocchi was also really good and the portion size was decent with enough to bring home leftovers. The tiramisu is probably the best I've had in Philadelphia. I also tried their crème brûlée (not pictured) and it was good as well. We were seated outside, which I originally didn't want to do, but we weren't given the option. It all ended up working just fine and we enjoyed our outdoor seating under an umbrella.

Food Ordered: * worth trying…read more - [Fish Hoagie]: The Fish Hoagie was supposed to come with Hot Sauce, Hot Peppers, Pickles, Lettuce, Pepper Jack Cheese, and Swiss Cheese but we didn't get any of that in our order. They used raw onions in the sandwich but I think it would have tasted better if they had cooked down the onions a little bit. Also, the bread was soft but I think the sandwich would have been better if the bread was toasted. Lastly, something tasted off about the fish. Like it wasn't fresh. - [Wallo Special Swai*]: Because I ordered this as a delivery order, the food was a bit soggy but still tasted good. I can see why it's a best seller. The fish was the best part; it was nice and flaky and well seasoned, only a tad salty for my taste but, overall, very good. - [Vanilla Pound Cake?]: I put a question mark because I don't think that's what we received in our order. What we received was a layered cake(?) of biscuits and cream, which had a pudding consistency, and a chocolate sauce on top. The dessert was too sweet for my liking. Would I go back? : Unfortunately, no. I think the pricing of the food is a bit high given the quality. Granted, we ordered on GrubHub so there was a little bit of an upcharge. I assume their platters might taste better but there's better seafood-boil-type of places elsewhere in the city like The Shake Seafood.

The cluster was very skimpy and over cooked. I did not care for the flavor of the sauce as well. Inside the boil bag was 1 cluster, a few shrimp, a half of a half a piece of corn and a boiled egg. I wanted to also try a fried fish sandwich but the fryer was down so I couldn't, I understood because things happen. They make a homemade iced tea which is delicious. The staff was very friendly which was appreciated. The location is good for take out only, but there is a few seats if you choose to dine in.
