I tried the lobster tail, black mussels, dungeness crab legs, fried clams, cole slaw, corn, and potatoes (all in medium garlic butter sauce). Every single thing was 5 stars. The garlic butter sauce is NOT a joke. I want to bathe in it, drink it, moisturize with it, put it in an oil diffuser and huff it. It is incredible. I am going to be returning many times in the future and can't believe I've wasted so much of my life not knowing this is a mere 10 minutes from my house.

The music played here is classic R&B. I was hoping to Detroit Urban Ballroom or Chicago Style Steppin here. I quickly found out that Philly is Bopping Country. (I don't Bop. But I think I can catch on quickly with a lesson or two). Needless to say, I did not get my dance on. I was there on a Friday night. The place was packed (wall to wall with dancers). The people there were very friendly, warm and inviting. I felt very comfortable. The food was great! I had pan seared Tilapia. There was so much food that I could not finish. The food and drinks are reasonably price. Can't beat it.

Review for The Crab Tavern…read more Professional Guest Assaulted and Illegally Detained -- Management Refuses Accountability I am a 62‑year‑old senior citizen, a professional author, publisher, and community legal advocate. On May 6, 2026, I entered The Crab Tavern for legitimate professional and community‑based purposes. What followed was a disturbing display of aggression, negligence, and unlawful conduct by both staff and management. Conduct of Shauna (Line Dance Instructor) Upon my arrival, Shauna, the line dance instructor, launched into an unprovoked verbal assault, screaming profanities in full view of the establishment's Security Guard. She then placed her hands on me--constituting battery under Pennsylvania law. This was not an isolated incident. It was the culmination of months of malicious gossip, defamation, and targeted hostility that management chose to ignore. Management & Ownership Failures Instead of protecting a senior citizen and neutralizing the aggressor, Manager Jackie and Dr. Pamela Renee Smith escalated the harm: - Hostility & Bias -- They immediately adopted Shauna's false narrative and treated me with open disrespect and presumption of guilt. - False Imprisonment -- I was forcibly escorted to a back room and detained against my will for approximately 20 minutes, without cause, consent, or legal justification. - Obstruction -- Jackie refused to speak to the Security Guard, the only neutral eyewitness who saw Shauna initiate the aggression. - Defamation -- On May 10, Dr. Smith falsely accused me of being "drunk and high," a reckless and baseless statement that contradicts my verified sobriety, professional standing, and decades‑long reputation in publishing and community advocacy. Their conduct was not only unprofessional--it was legally actionable. Final Word The Crab Tavern's owners are vicariously liable for the battery, false imprisonment, defamation, and trade libel committed by their staff. No establishment should be permitted to harass, detain, or endanger a senior citizen--especially one present for legitimate professional and community‑based work. I have filed a formal complaint in Magisterial District Court 32‑2‑37, seeking $12,000 per defendant. And to be clear: other than this incident, the food is great and the customers are chill. But good food does not excuse unlawful conduct, and pleasant patrons do not erase management's liability. Gabrielle Nicole Nzinga Shakur

My favorite was the French toast, with a satisfying, slightly sweet crunch, just before biting into the delicious French toast. I'll be back for sure, I can't wait to try so many other items!

I visited Philly Krave for the first time yesterday, and unfortunately had a frustrating…read moreexperience. As a first-time customer, I was unfamiliar with the ordering process. After being directed to the kiosk, I was unsure of what to do while waiting for my order. When an employee (who identified herself as the owner's wife) approached me, the way she addressed me regarding sitting down felt dismissive and unprofessional rather than welcoming. As a new customer who was already confused by the system, this left a poor first impression. I came in hoping for a great experience at a local business, but I felt disrespected during the interaction. I was hoping to try their ramen, but ended up ordering the shrimp tacos based on the suggestion of the day. I hope the management considers how they interact with new customers, as it really impacted my desire to return. Although the food was great and the owner was very kind and respectful, the way his wife acted wasn't very kind and professional. Maybe next time I'll DoorDash.

My first time the food was great. Looking at the prior reviews I was concerned about service but I will say I had a pleasant experience with everyone that worked in the bar. My husband and I took our food to go but we waited for the food to be prepared. When we got home the food looked good but upon eating the done crab legs they were extremely overcooked. The seasoning was a bit salty but the snow crabs would have been good if they were not overcooked. I also purchased blue crabs 40 bucks for a half dozen. 2 of the 6 crabs were bad. Very foul smell and the others were overcooked. I was so disappointed at the food. When dealing with seafood specifically shell seafood it should be fresh the meat was discolored with a dark appearance. I hope they do a better job as this could make someone fall ill.
