$4 and $5 blue crabs. Shrimp $16 per pound. I sautéed it all myself

$4 and $5 blue crabs. Shrimp $16 per pound. Ridiculously overpriced but I dont care if its good. Crabs and shrimp were dry. Like they had been reheated multiple times or over cooked although some crabs were partially frozen. ‍ shrimp were severely overcooked Seasoning was ok. I was shorted on the amount of crabs i purchased. Wasn't worth driving back. I highly doubt I will ever go back. I sautéed it myself after realizing how terrible they were. My recommendation is to Save your money or go somewhere else. This place is less than mediocre.

My husband wanted some crabs so he asked me go here on my way home. 45 minutes in line and I'm not sure why. It just moved very slowly with the 2 ladies taking orders. Some people were getting platters and others steamed crabs. It seemed like they were waiting until each order was ready before the next person was waited on. They definitely need a separate cashier to keep the line moving. They have a large selection of crabs, mussels, oysters, salads(macaroni, seafood, etc), crab cakes plus some assorted desserts (carrot cake, brownies, cheesecake slices), water ice, slushees and other cold drinks. All I wanted was his crabs and to get home. It's a neighborhood spot so I'm sure the regulars are used to the wait. I should have called ahead. Next time I know better. I'll post a pic once he breaks open the bag.

My boyfriend and I was craving for some seafood and decided to stop in here since our usual place was closed for the day . I honestly think their seafood was a little pricey compared to other places I've been too and on top of that everything else had to be order as a side instead of having it as a platter . I usually order a platter and it comes with steam vegetables including corn, potatoes, and broccoli . Over here everything has to be ordered as a side . It'll break your pocket a little. That's why I didn't rate them 5 stars . But I have to admit their garlic butter is so good . Staff was quick and friendly .

Sweet Seafood Salad

It's crazy to see virtually zero reviews of this place. The Crab Shack has been somewhere I have been coming to for years for EXCELLENT SEAFOOD takeout. The seafood is ALWAYS fresh here, never fishy. My go-to here is the steamed shrimp and crabs with old bay seasoning And you can't leave here without a container of their Seafood Salad. Honestly is it the BEST seafood salad I have EVER had! The crab shack is strictly a take-out joint, aside from a few picnic tables outside. The lines here can get pretty long. (Probably due to the fact that they accept access cards) So on the way, pray for the best- but expect the worst when it comes to the length of the line. But trust me- it's worth the wait.

I have driven by this place for years and said to myself "one day I will try it" every time I do. Well I finally did after many, many years. I ordered half a pound of Cajun shrimp and 1 crab. I got it spicy and with all the seasonings and butter. Boy was it buttery. I think next time I won't get it with butter. It was super messy to eat. The crab was meaty. I need to come back to try one of their seafood salads.

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.

I'm very disappointed in the food. I ordered dungness crabs but got Alaskan smh. I asked for the $4…read moreblue crabs and it look like I got the $2 crabs smh. They said they only had $3-$6crabs but these crabs no way were $4 crabs smh they too small. The shrimps were overcooked. I'm mad at myself because I should've checked my order before pullin off. They fell off. Big time. I use to love bobs but this was a big no for me especially when I spent $75 and my order was messed up. DO BETTER!

Firstly, I was confused when I drove onto the block and saw another named business at the address. I found on street parking on the side street & called the number advertised across the business. I was advised they were the same business but had a name revision. The entry was toward the rear of the building. There are 2 steps to navigate for those that may have any mobility challenges. The first thing you see is a spacious open area that has several booths along the wall & an opening to the main dining area that houses the beverage area and numerous tables & booths looking out onto the street. There are mounted televisions surrounding the room & music playing in the background. The Servers are professional, pleasantly inviting and friendly. The food smells & tastes heavenly & the combination platters are savory, seasoned to perfection & very plentiful. My combination platters had shrimp, whiting and fries & were so heavy I couldn't believe it. The value was amazing for the amount of food you received. The seafood offerings were great by the pound. This is a place you will want to return for many more days to enjoy over & over.
