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

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!

The crab grilled cheese was bad I wouldn’t recommend. The shrimp taco was really good, the Mac and cheese crab was not good, the spicy butter 1/2lb shrimp and crab was good def has some good options but a-lot of the options fall short

Arrived around 2 pm on Thursday. Quit atmosphere that time of day, which I love. The host was attentive and patient. Clobster roll was a hit with their hot sauce. OMG, the ? in the boil bag of crab legs and ? was amazing. Crab ? just right. Oh, yes, the crab grilled ?. Never had one, never thought about it. Dame, it was good. Topped off with Frose. I forgot the crab Mac and ? and honey buttered cornbread. ?. The 1 hour and 15 minute trip was well worth it.It is a must!!!!

Food: Started with the Clobster roll) crab/lobster) the crab tasted very dry with the lobster being okay but the roll overall needed more butter and lemon. No fat = poor taste. Next, eat the lobster chowder with lacked a depth of flavor, with a somewhat watered down texture. Finally, sampled the cold slaw which was good although for $4 the portion was embarrassingly small. Best thing of the 3 things I tried. Service: Very friendly and welcoming Ambiance: Very nice, warm and cosy (20 degree day) I wouldn't recommend.

Very expensive! My boyfriend and I had a Clobster roll each (25 dollars each). The meat and the bread were good but there’s nothing else in the sandwich, no sauce (unless u pay extra) and the size is just 6inches so if you’re too hungry you’ll have to pick something else.

Thank you to Mariah and the entire staff at the Crabby Shack. Tonight is my mom's first night back in NY and we have been waiting to have a nice dinner together. My mom is a crazy picky eater and she couldn't stop eating The Crabby Shack foooood! Everything was tasty and when one of the items was left at the restaurant, the driver brought it to the house. I am beyond appreciative. My mom's separate review: " Honey, that cornbread was to die for and that chicken mmmmmmm the best."We will be back. Thank you again.
