Nothing special. Service was terrible. Crab legs were tiny and not worth the effort. Prime rib had good flavor but very fatty. Most ppl in the establishment also seemed unhappy.Would not recommend.

Surprisingly good prime rib and an excellent value for several early bird specials, most notably the single crab cake on rice for those who want to sample extra menu options. Crispy, thin onion rings were exceptional! 1/2 lb shrimp was offered hot or cold — but was overcooked. Crab boil was as good as any around….Waiter Abigail was attentive and well-informed on the menu choices. Only major drawbacks were the dirty decks outside and the completely neglected outside grounds which were unacceptably overgrown with weeds.Parking: Ample parking and handicapped parking though lower parking lot/landscaping is completely overrun with weeds.
Food was gross. Service was slow and they were not even busy.

The manager of this restaurant was very rude and a liar. He implied that people at the table were eating off of the buffet price of my niece, nephew and myself.When in fact my other niece and my sister doesn't eat snow crabs. But my 5 year niece ate a few pieces of crab from her mom. And he expected us to pay 68.00 for a 4 year to eat all you can eat snow crabs. He was VERY VERY RUDE! He didn't want to hear reasoning and immediately decided to only give me 1 snow crab cluster, but the table behind us, their buckets were filled to the top. I don't want to play the race card, but I feel that he was being racist. Our waitress was very attentive and so sweet and apologetic as a result of her managers rude, racist behavior! I will never go there again! So buyers beware, especially if you have small children!

Laid back kind of place. Nice staff. Surprised for the price food wasn't fresh. The barbecue ribs were extremely dry and no amount of sauce was going to help. Flavorless canned green beans as a side. Really! My son had the cheeseburger which was clearly a cooked frozen patty. Fries were way too salty, couldn't eat them. Place cost too much not to have made to order food. My husband had the all you could eat crab legs, this is their specialty. He said they were hot and delicious, come for those!

This place is amazing. We did the AUCE crab legs and they did not disappoint. We never had to wait for a new bucket to be brought to us and never had to ask; the second they saw we were getting low, they had another bucket ready. We definitely got our money's worth. The service was fantastic.

Food was exceptionally delicious. No soggy crab legs here. Prime rib is perfect and don’t skip dessert. The manager and server were eager to ensure a great experience. Give this place a try!

Will return. Food was fresh.They need to address parking issues. They should add a few tvs above the bar.
We are at The Hammered Crab last night. OMG, everything was delicious, from the salad, to the amazing garlic butter bread, to the AYCE crab. Our server Abigail was equally amazing. We will be back! Thank you!Parking: Not a problem.

2nd review of the hammered crab and it will be just as good as the 1st! Started with the crab dip and it was just as good as we remembered it! Then had the crab topped flounder and it was soooo yummy! The flounder was cooked perfectly, well seasoned and absolutely amazing! Also loved the crab cake on top! Sides were hush puppies (delicious again!) and the Cole slaw which is also great! Our son had the fish sandwich and he didn't rave about it but he ate it all! Overall great dinner once again! We will surely be back!

Yum yum yum!!! The all you can eat crab legs were so good. All snow crabs are a little small but these were so worth it plus they are AYCE!!! They were sweet and tasted great. The salad was great, the garlic bread was amazing and the potatoes that were in the bucket were really good but it’s hard to eat much of that when the crab legs are so good. Michael did a great job taking care of us. I highly recommend Hammered Crab!

The snow crab leg bucket was amazing! It wasn’t the all you can eat, but it mine as well have been! We ordered the $38 crab bucket & we each got 4 clusters! It was delicious, they were cooked perfectly, & the potatoes, corn, & butter topped it all off. The service was good, we had a party of 9 & she did a great job. We will definitely eat there again & recommend others to go there.
