This is where I got crabs. And they were delicious my gf hot them to abd we ate them till they never came back. I love this place and love getting the crabs!
The food was great. Our service was outstanding. The pasta was very flavorful. There is no way you can go wrong off the menu.
I was in town for a conference and hate eating out, so i was just going to pick up some items at Von's , but this place is across the street and I knew I could get what I wanted here- just shrimp and corn on the cob. It was a good spot and I got leftovers for tomorrow!
It's only my 4th time eating seafood boil and waiter was great with helping me order. Ambiance was ok. It was a Sunday so I can see why it's it wasn't that many people there. But food and beer were great it hit the spot. Left happy
Excellent service! From a clean interior, to a really inviting experience by the staff. All in all was great. Food was hot, came pretty quick, and tasted great. Not from the area but when we're back, we'd love to stop by again.
A friend brought me here for my birthday. I rarely go to crab boil spots because I usually have to pay and I want crab legs and lobster. Lol so I got crab legs and lobster for my birthday along with shrimp and all the trimmings as well as scallops plate. Everything was on point delicious the drinks were great too. The restaurant is cute and casual. It does overlook the water, but we went at night so we didn't really enjoy the view. Looking forward to coming back during the day because I love an Ocean view. The servers were great and were patient with us because we didn't want to stop celebrating so we sat out by the fire pit and have some drinks. Great service.
Customer service was impeccable. Our server was caring, chill, and took care of everything quickly. Super impressed! Got waters quickly upon sitting and our drinks quick as well after. I ordered fish and chips. I couldn't taste the cajun on the fish, I thought it the texture was weird... rubbery and way too soft for my liking. Fries were super good and a great portion on both plates. We had left over fries lol. We also got wings, they said they were super good, one of the best wings they've had. 10/10.
Located in long beach, you can find the crab shack. It's one of those spot where you should be willing to get your hands dirty to eat good but they do bring you plastic gloves to wear if you're not willing and they also provide you with a bib and wet napkins to clean up at the end. Location: Corner restaurant off busy streets with lots of street parking around, I don't believe I saw a private lot for parking but everything in that area is walkable. Ambiance: Restaurant is pretty big with Indoor/outdoor dining. It's not anything new or fancy but definitely clean and fits the food options. Food: Delicious! I was never a big fan of but this place was full of flavors and the selection of food was great. You order by the pound and you can mix seasonings per order and add tons of sides as well. They offer things like fish, crabs, potatoes, corn, and more. Everything came out hot and ready to eat within minutes. Service: Staff were very friendly and welcoming. I was Immediately greeted as I walked in, and sat down right away. My visit was during the week so it wasn't busy at all, I'm not sure how weekends look like. Staff checked on us enough times to make sure we had everything but not too many were it was annoying lol Definitely a good a spot to come have a meal with friends or family and have fun eating and making a bit of a mess. SYoY!
