The prices are a little high. The food is fantastic. Glad we stopped for lunch as it gets busy at dinner time.Parking: There is one handicap slot on the side street, if you need that you may have to wait for it. Otherwise you'll need to go to the public parking lot a block or so down and behind. Parking is at a premium in Seaside so plan accordingly.
I ordered the clam strips which came out looking like crumbs, there was barely anything sadly. The clam pasta was bland and has a weird taste. Service was great. Food is mediocre, definitely would save your money and pass on this restaurant

BEST fresh seafood boils and oysters on the half shell. We have been coming to seaside for the past 4 years and the crabby oyster is always on our list, or reason to visit. They have an AMAZING location, great menu with fresh and non-fried options, a proper what I consider southern style crab boil with corn and potato's (We have been up and down this coast and it's surprising how uncommon a boil is) ... oysters on the half shell were fresh and they have a decent sized kids menu!

The employees were nice, but they were closing around me and I didn't feel comfortable sticking around to eat.... Knowing there were waiting for me to leave even if they didn't tell me.Something uncomfortable about eating alone somewhere while closing.The clam chowder needed seasoning. I had to add salt and pepper to make it good.The calamari was average.The garlic bread was subpar.The ice tea was great!

We came in and were faced with a man telling us there’s an automatic 18% gratuity on parties over 5 which made us feel very unwelcomed to begin with, we were a party of 12. Our waitress though was very nice and provided good service so this rating is in no way reflecting her or her service.We were sat at two tables which was very uncomfortable for 12 people. We had two separate tickets amounting to $350 worth of food so $63 dollar tip. The server was attentive but did forget some sauces and drinks completely. I still believe she deserved a tip but $63 was not it. We expressed our frustration and asked if it’s mandatory to pay the %18 tip. She replied yes. We let you know when you walked in and this was her response several times.

A worthwhile spluge. Delicious combo boil for 2 was delicious.
Awesome little place right off the Broadway strip in seaside. My daughter's and I had dinner during our Springbreak trip. They shared the kitchen sink for 2, it was massive! Filled with lots of Dungeness crab, shrimp, clams, oysters, potatoes and corn on the Cobb. It was more than they could eat. I had the shrimp po boy. The lemon aioli was something out of this world! An explosion of flavor. Our server, ledger was very prompt and friendly. Can't wait to come back next time we're in town!
We were craving burgers so we decided to check out The Crabby Oyster. It did not disappoint. Service was amazing, food was delicious, kids were happy, we were happy, it was a perfect lunch! Definitely recommend!!Kid-friendliness: Very kid-friendly! Great kid's menu-something for every picky eater. Server was great with them. Quick service so the kids didn't get antsy.

We came in right after opening on Tuesday and were faced with a balding man telling us there’s an automatic 18% gratuity on parties of 5 which made us feel very unwelcomed to begin with. Our waitress though was very nice and provided good service so this rating is in no way reflecting her or her service. It wasn’t that busy but still had to ask for the check which is fine. After, I stood up to ask the man who we could give it to, and he, in a rude, condescending way told me “I can’t take that, i would be taking your waitress’ money, it’s like she does all the work and I take the money, so go sit down and wait” like?? I didn’t know you swiping my card would mean you would take the waitress’s tip?? If you try to take her tip then that sounds like a morale problem for you. I think his attitude was rooted in the fact that we were teenagers and wouldn’t know how to tip or something so he didn’t want to service us. Every restaurant I go to I tip 20%, if this bald guy was my waiter I would’ve disregarded the tip and put a big fat $0 but thank god we got the nice woman working. If the tips were split I would’ve slipped the woman some cash because that guy isn’t getting a cent more out of me. The oyster in shells were small and tasted like nothing, the burgers were dry and tasted like oil, the halibut burger was worse than the fillet o fish from McDonald’s and the seafood boil was dry with no flavor and costs $74. Go to MO’s or Ecola at cannon beach.

I do not recommend this restaurant! The food was served cold, including the chowder. We ordered a spicy crab boil, which had no flavor, and again was cold. Our waiter did the best he could with what he had to work with. But definitely two thumbs down on this one.
