    Fried Rockfish with fries and coleslaw
    Michael W.

    Service was friendly and the food was absolutely perfect. Fresh crab cakes done exactly the way I like them, without any nonsense and let the crab shine! Would be back many times if we lived in the area. Great place and great food.

    The build your own boil is excellent. Large shrimp, well seasoned and great price. Also $6 crushes all day long. The hush puppies are also excellent.

    Fresh Fried Clam Strips
    Cearia D.

    Visited here a few days ago. We ordered jumbo crabs (which weren't jumbo), seafood boil , orange pomegranate crush and clam strips. The crabs were ok I've had better and bigger. The jumbo were $125 which was a good price but the size just didn't match the price. The crab legs were extremely small as well. The clam strips were so good and the crush was too. Customer service was good overall but most likely won't be returning.

    Cajun seafood boil

    We got a crab boil to go and all the seafood (snow crabs, shrimp, muscles, and crawfish) were dried out and fishy, it almost tasted reheated. We've heard good things about crab shack, so I'm hoping it was just a fluke.

    Crab boil with the crab shack blend sauce

    I paid 62 dollars for 7 shrimp and a cluster of crab legs which were just mush . I couldn't even get the meat out the shells. After a few mins the butter turned to sludge. The crab legs also had A fishy taste like they have been reheated more then once. As for the oysters. They were so tiny I couldn't even barely get them off the shell. They did not appear fresh as they were sticky and not wet. I'm very disappointed as I was hoping for the food to be good.

    Dozen crabs

    Their crabs are so meaty and we absolutely loved the service! Really appreciate that they allow you to choose the spice level since we personally do not love too much old bay seasoning on our crabs! We like crabs with old bay, not old bay with crabs. Also liked that their slaw was not too sweet. Bonus that they have a huge outdoor area that allows pets to chill. ;)

    Great location but slow service and mediocre food. I'm not sure if it is or not but it seems very much like a chain restaurant.

Recently I went with a group of family, some from out of the area, as it is convenient, the food is good, and is a good introduction to Bay life. While my out of town family thought it was great, I was honestly a little disappointed with the food. First, however, the entire staff were incredible and it is hard to beat the setting. Everyone was friendly, authentic and helpful. One of our group was celebrating a big birthday and the Cantler's team made him feel very special. Second, some of the food was very good such as the fresh oysters, oyster chowder and the hush puppies. Unfortunately, a lot of the food wasn't great, especially the seafood sampler and the crab cake. Maybe we should have asked for the crab cake and sampler to be broiled rather than fried, and that may have been why we were disappointed. The crab cake was particularly disappointing as it seemed mostly leg and backfill meat with a fair amount of filler and then deep fried. Will I go back, mostly like because of the staff and the gorgeous setting, but will only order steamed crabs to pick.

    Coconut Joe's -- 5 Stars Because Nikki Ran the Bar Like Mission Control…read more Walked into Coconut Joe's expecting a basic lunch, left emotionally supported, hydrated, and full of crab. Ordered a Caesar salad tossed with bacon, because if you're not putting pork in your salad, what are you even doing? Cold, crisp, dressed like it was taking headshots for its modeling portfolio. Then the cream of crab soup showed up -- thick, seasoned, real chunks of crab, not that mystery-flake stuff. It was the kind of soup that makes you stop mid-conversation and reevaluate life. Washed everything down with an orange crush, which went down so easy it should come with a seatbelt. But the real star of the whole visit was Nikki behind the bar. Let me be clear: Nikki ran that bar like NASA counting down to a launch. Full bar of people, drinks flying, food landing, and somehow she made it feel like I was the only one sitting there. Every empty glass was just a short-term inconvenience. Every ask was handled before I even finished the sentence.

Ambiance is refreshing as it is located near water, where boats can dock and come in for food. It's giving Outer Banks vibes. Service, our sweet waitress was the BEST! She was pregnant and was literally the hardest worker in there! It was busy and I did have to go to the bar to get help but when I said "excuse me" I was rudely told to "hang on" by the bartender. I just walked around and got what I needed, super rude girl BUT our waitress was so nice it really made up for it. Red Flag forgiven! Let's get into it! Deviled Eggs - Really Good! Crab cake - Delicious! It's hard for me to agree to a crab cake being good, this one was it! Drinks - Great! The other half agrees, we will be back! Not quite 5 stars for me - I'm intricate when it comes to my observations, some plates were chipped, the appetizer ones specifically on our visit. A little help is needed with bussers , and cleanliness.

I started with the steak wedge salad, which was really tasty--the bacon had a slightly sweet flavor that stood out and complemented the dish nicely. For my entrée, I went with the tomahawk pork chop and a loaded baked potato. The pork chop was cooked well and had great flavor overall, though it leaned just slightly on the salty side. Still very enjoyable, especially paired with the potato. Where things really took off was dessert. Our table ordered a few to share--the brownie, chocolate cake, and crème brûlée cheesecake. The brownie was easily my favorite: rich, soft, and topped with caramel sauce alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Definitely the standout of the night. Service from Eli was good--friendly and helpful. I would have appreciated a bit more check-ins throughout the meal, but nothing that took away from the experience. Overall, a solid visit with great flavors and a few standout dishes. I'd definitely come back, especially for that brownie.

During a visit about a over a month ago, I observed an interaction between a manager and an employee that felt uncomfortable to witness. From a customer perspective, the tone came across as harsh and seemed more appropriate for a private conversation rather than one happening in front of staff and guests. On a more recent visit, I became concerned after overhearing multiple staff members discussing cleanliness-related issues while I was dining. As a customer, hearing those types of conversations during a meal was unsettling and raised concerns for me about overall food safety and sanitation. I want to be clear that I am only sharing what I personally experienced and overheard during my visits. However, as someone with severe allergies, trust in food handling and cleanliness is extremely important to me, and these experiences made me uncomfortable. Because of this, I felt it was appropriate to bring these concerns to the attention of the appropriate authorities so they can be properly reviewed. I hope management takes the opportunity to evaluate both customer experience and internal practices moving forward, as both staff and guests deserve a safe and respectful environment.
