    I saw the Crabby Shack on Instagram a few days ago, and I immediately decided I was coming here ASAP. It's labeled as Seafood With Soul, and it truly lives up to it. The small restaurant is run by 2 Black women and a very hard-working staff. When we arrived there was ample seating, but on a busy day, I could see how tight it would be. I ordered the crab grilled cheese with a side of collard greens, and I loved how packed it was crab and how the cheese was perfectly melted and pulled apart. The seasoning and flavors were spot on, it was a generous size, and the spicy butter elevated it to another level. The collard greens were delicious as well. My girlfriend ordered the soul bowl, which came with chicken, collard greens, white rice, and mac and cheese. She enjoyed it as well, as the bowl was packed to the brim and everything blended well together. For drinks, we ordered the fresh squeezed lemonade with a shot of tequila in each. We enjoyed them so much that we ordered another 2 drinks to take on the go. I hope this business stays around for a long time because it's such a unique experience to dine here.

    A Black Women owned seafood restaurant?! Yess please! I've been coming here for a few years now whenever I'm craving good seafood. I've tried just about everything on the menu and it's all good. My current obsessions are fried salmon bites and the crab and corn chowder soup. One of the owners put me on to the soup and I'm soo glad she did. In addition to food, they also have a small bar for cocktails and a few machines for frozen drinks. They also sell their own hot sauces, a Lemon Pepper and a Hottie Sauce. They Hottie sauce is so good that I got two bottles during my last visit. If you love seafood and want to support a Black Women owned business, then add this place to your list!

    Wow, this restaurant was truly delightful. The conversation with the woman who served us at the register, to the music, to the food options, to the seasoning, to the casual vibe and the DRINKS. It was truly an experience that I would like to have again. I ordered the chicken mac & cheese bowl with collard greens and the lobster chowder (soooo good). It had seasoned rice at the bottom that I ate the next day and it was so delicious. I opted for my sauce to be on the side, which added a nice touch. My boyfriend and I got the black current lemonade with tequila and had to go for another serving because it was so good. My boyfriend got the crab mac & cheese, which was delicious and wonderfully seasoned with a side of fries which we enjoyed. I love the aesthetics of the restaurant and the bathroom. It kind of has a seaside feel that's family friendly and great for spending time with friends and your loved ones. It's kind of tight so i would say make flexible plans if you're coming with a group

    Crab BLT

    Needed a quick bite before I head on my trek back to manhattan. Decided to pop in the Crabby Shack. They had a bunch of options, made it a little bit overwhelming to choose on an item. The staff recommended the Crab BLT, so I opted in for that and a side of fries. It wasn't horrible, but next time i'd choose something else on the menu. The sandwich kept falling apart and was a bit bland. Nice service and clean area!

    Overall rating: 4.4 Cute seafood spot in Crown Heights. Food was good & it was nice trying Alaskan Crabs for the first time. That said, it was very expensive. The lobster roll was good & the staff was really friendly. This is more of a hang out spot than anything else. I would recommend if you love seafood.

    Clobster Roll And tots

    I ordered delivery this past weekend from the Crabby Shack. I couldn't decide if I wanted a crab or lobster roll. So I went with the clobster roll. It was stuffed full of crabmeat and lobster. Simply tossed in garlic butter I was a happy camper. It wasn't overpowered with garlic, old bay or insert whatever sauce, spice. I could taste the flavors of the actual seafood. I added the tater tots because you have to have a tot and the honey cornbread

    Damn you, Goldbelly! (For those that haven't heard about Goldbelly, it's a delivery service that helps small, medium and even large food businesses deliver/ship their items nation-wide. Prices are going to be a little bit higher due to the speed and efficiency of shipping, but often these treats are absolutely worth it.) I keep seeing all of these special deals via email and occasionally jump on them - to take advantage of grabbing delicacies that are not easily found in my neck of the woods. The Crabby Shack got my attention with their "Clobster Rolls". Basically it's half lobster and half crab...but I didn't follow the rules when preparing mine. Oopsie. I simply had one of each-which didn't suck. These are super easy to prepare. Simply heat up the bag in boiling water or cut it open and sauté the ingredients for a few minutes. What I didn't realize when I ordered: that they are pre-seasoned. Not overly spiced or anything like that, but my experience with other lobster delivery was simply receiving lobster-nothing more. That was my fault for not really reading the fine print...but everything was truly delicious. The potato buns are fantastic. Toast them...or not. Either way, the vehicle for consuming this crab and lobster is delightful. Next time I'm in Brooklyn, I'm going to seek this place out. Thank you...and damn you, Goldbelly.

    NOT Good. Go to Joe's Crab Shack instead

    I really wanted to like this place but so many things wrong. I ordered the crab/lobster roll combo and the crab Mac and cheese. Let's start with the roll. The crab and lobster was EXTREMELY SALTY. To the point where it was not edible. The crab and lobster were both very mediocre quality. The crab was all the end of the leg meat crab that's attached to the body that no one really wants to eat, not the inside of the crab legs where it's that sweet succulent meat. The mac and cheese had so much potential to taste good but they ruined it with the amount of salt that's in here again. And I usually am a person who enjoys salt in her food but this is too much y'all.. someone in the kitchen has a heavy hand with the shaker.

We ordered one strawberry and one strawberry banana crêpe. They were filled with strawberries and bananas, and the outside was drizzled with glorious Nutella, which is a hazelnut chocolate sauce . The texture of the crêpes were absolutely perfect and that was the part I was most craving. I also loved the Nutella part. The banana and strawberry not so much as to me that didn't really have much of a taste, but maybe that was because the rest of it was super flavorful and over powered the fruit. All good and definitely satisfied my crêpe craving, but next time I would stop by to enjoy their desserts in person. The Kunafa looks particularly wonderful and has definitely peaked my curiosity.

Having a dessert spot in the neighborhood that is open late night and is serving flavors of our culture is nothing short of a dream come true. Not so great for my weight loss goals, though haha. Thank you, Moose. I came in here, and the place was absolutely buzzing, with groups of people enjoying their late night desserts- a testament to how much we needed this spot to just open and thrive and exist. I don't personally like cream Kenafa so I haven't really tried anything off their menu yet, but the Dubai chocolate crêpe is really calling out my name, and I am just going to bite the bullet and try it one of these days. I did go in to sample their Dubai chocolate. As a chocoholic, I am on a low-key search for the best Dubai chocolate bar in the city. This bar did not disappoint. The filling to chocolate ratio was perfect. However, I do feel that there is an over balance of crispy kanafa in the filling. I think it could use more pistachio cream and be a little on the runnier side. Can't wait to come back and try that crêpe. Until I am able to make that trip back, do stop in and enjoy a sweet treat in this cute little dessert shop. It's also Palestinian owned so you know you are supporting the right people and the right cause while satisfying that sweet tooth craving. What more could a customer ask for?

They've also got amazing cakes (including a fantastic carrot cake) and a great selection of treats that keep you coming back. What really makes this place special, though, is the owner, Peter. He's always welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind. He greets customers with a smile, takes the time to say hello, and creates an atmosphere that feels both personal and inviting. The staff deserves just as much praise--every single one of them is amazing: professional, friendly, funny, and kind. I've known many of them over time, and they consistently go above and beyond. Today, one of the staff members was incredibly sweet--she even brought my order out to me while I was sitting in my car. That kind of service is rare and really shows how much they care. The shop itself is spotless--seriously clean, top to bottom--and there's even a cozy outdoor seating area where you can sit and enjoy your coffee or dessert.

Anyway, I was in Brooklyn with my brother to see a concert and had just finished dinner. We had some time before doors opened so we decided to grab a little ice cream before heading over to the venue. Farmacy was steps away - it all seemed like it was meant to be, so off we went. Farmacy aims to capture the nostalgia of an old fashioned soda shop and ice cream parlor. Immediately upon walking in we were greeted by aesthetics - the tile, fixtures, and decor totally give off that vibe. There are a few tables to sit as well as a large bar area with stools; I also noticed a few tables set up outside as well. The traffic flow is set up so that you order first and then have it served to you after sitting. Browsing the menu, I noticed they have a selection of ice cream scoops, shakes, egg creams, specialty sodas, hot chocolates, and a large variety of sundae creations. Since we were there for ice cream, we decided to split a sundae -specifically the Sir Twix-a-Lot. This was chunks for shortcake tossed in caramel and topped with vanilla ice cream that was coated in a chocolate shell. Overall I thought the sundae was solid - but the combinations of textures weren't my favorite to be honest, mostly with how the shortcake played with the ice cream. It wasn't bad though - the flavors definitely gave the Twix aesthetic. My only other issue with the dish was that because chocolate shell was used, any residue at the bottom was hard so you have to chisel it if you want to savor any last spoonfuls; I guess that comes with the territory. Service was good - everyone was friendly. It wasn't too busy when we were there so we had our selection of seats and our ice cream was ready pretty quickly. Overall, I'm glad I finally tried Brooklyn Farmacy out - they have a large selection so I would definitely return when I'm in the area again.

At one point I'm pretty sure the pita basket respawned automatically like a video game. We also ordered the halloumi which was delicious, but absolutely unnecessary. That cheese showed up like an uninvited cousin to Thanksgiving dinner. Nobody needed it, but somehow we were still happy it came. The drinks at the bar were the real MVPs. Fruity, dangerous, and exactly what you want while staring dramatically out a rainy window pretending you're in an A24 film. The trout was excellent. My wife's steak was slightly over salted, which honestly just gave us an excuse to drink more cocktails. Overall, 10/10 experience. Come hungry, leave bloated, slightly tipsy, and emotionally attached to the pita basket.

You definitely tasted the coffee and it was less thick than regular hot chocolate (which was on a thinner, sippier side). You can sample ice cream to make your selection.
