“ You may have skipped this place due to location or look from the outside, but that’s a mistake. You must try this place if you like seafood or crushes. Inside is a full bar and they have live music of Sundays. You order at the counter and they bring the food to the table. You can sit inside or outside at tables with a tiki umbrella. If you order crab they come and set up your whole table with paper, etc. they even have an outside hand washing station for those eating Maryland crab. Service was super friendly! The crushes are one of the best we’ve had. They are all fresh squeezed juice. We had the Maryland crab soup (tomato based) to start. There was lots of crab with great crab flavor. Our only ding is that we prefer it spicy and it is not. But spice is definitely a preference and the flavor was fantastic. It also had pieces of bacon which were a great twist. We got one of the seafood combos to share which had crab cake, shrimp, and scallops with 2 sides. We went hush puppies and fries. All of the food together (with the soup) was enough for the 2 of us. The scallops were large, super tender and buttery. The crab cake was also sizable. It was all crab (no breading) with some sort of a sauce mixed it. The outside had a great crisp that you don’t see most places. The shrimp were large and cooked well; not rubbery. Both the cocktail and tarter sauces are homemade. The cocktail had a kick with the horseradish. The tarter had obvious pieces of yummy pickle. The fries were hand cut rustic styles. The hush puppies were top notch! Amazing crisp on the outside with visible pieces of corn inside. We will definitely be coming back! ”
“ This was my 4th time ordering carryout for a party from here. All 3 other times I ordered crabs (blue and snow) and they were fabulous. This time in addition to the blue crabs, I ordered fried chicken, corn on the cob, hush puppies and coleslaw. Everyone raved over everything! It is hard to find fried chicken this good! I also appreciate how I was treated at pick up, the staff made sure we had everything we needed for our party! I was impressed! ”
“ We went here for their Wednesday oyster special....really delicious and a real bargain. The owners/servers are friendly, personable, very accommodating. It’s not a full service or white tablecloth establishment, but casual, with bar service and fresh not frozen seafood. Truly enjoyable! We can’t wait for soft crab season! ”
“ The seafood was great. I think the owner could have had better customer service. I came back a few days later and he still had such an unpleasant demeanor. I would go back and will go back. ”
“ Food is delicious. The crabby fries are a must try. Their raw oysters were fresh. Condiments are always out and you get free unlimited fountain drinks. This place is a gem and I will always come back. It’s never too crowded because I like to go when they first open. I’ve sat at the bar and at a table and received great service each time. The staff is friendly and very welcoming. ”
“ I’ve driven past this place so many times and never thought much of it. That was definitely my mistake, finally went tonight for the first time and I’ll definitely be back. Had the seafood boil with crab legs and did the crab shack blend and it was so good! Such good flavor and everything was cooked just right! Also had the hush puppies and those were unbelievably yummy. Will definitely be back! ”
“ My Sisters and I ate here today. From the moment we entered until we left, the owner and staff were very professional, courteous and attentive. The service was great, the food was delicious and the portions were plentiful! We will certainly eat here again and bring a crew with us! A hidden gem in plain view in Edgewater!!!! TCW ”
“ This was our first time at the crab shack and we will definitely be going back! It’s family friendly with both indoor and outdoor seating. The food is as great and the crushes were amazing! The employees were all friendly and attentive. We love having a local place to go with the family that is affordable! ”
