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.

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!

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!

There is always a good background noise as the restaurant is typically busy. But not too loud so your party can still have a great conversation. Enjoyed the lunch today especially the fish and chips. The clam chowder is a must. And they have the best fries.

This place is FIRE!!!…read more Best oysters I ever had, and they came with a lot of oyster liquor (natural juice that oysters produce, a mix of seawater from their habitat and their own internal fluids such as hemolymph (the invertebrate equivalent of blood) and cellular fluids). The oyster liquor makes it so the oyster remains fresh btw as well which is obviously uber important. We had oysters from Maine, Rhode Island, and Connecticut and all of the ones we chose you could taste the unique differences from one to the next. Crab cakes were on point; the vegetables were next level with the side of asparagus coming with roe on top of it. New England soup was actually light and not heavy like most creamy NE soups which I appreciated as it made me have room for the rest of the meal. We also indulged in some Butterscotch Pudding which in my view had three distinct flavors. The very top tasted similar to sweet creme Brule, the actual pudding was creamy and delish and there was a garnish of whipped cream I believe on top. All items surpassed my expectations and we will definitely be repeat customers. Highly Recommend. As always people SYOY!!!!

That…read moresaid over the years it has been our go-to, our maybe? and a distant memory for a slew of reasons and change of ownership. 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.
