Pro- Very good customer service; server checked in often, quick with refills- Excellent food; would definitely come back to try other items and flavors- Food gloves provided with bib- Plenty of parking- Spacious restaurant- QR code menu

The taste is delicious as always, the delivery speed is also very fast, and the waitress attitude is very good! But the taste of the head shrimp is a little worse! Hope to buy better material! Thanks!

Not recommended. The king crab legs weren’t with good quality, and some internal part was even cold. Dungeness crab was a disaster, not fresh and over cooked. Other things were fine.We didn’t have a choice to choose the tip, which I definitely wouldn’t pay for non fresh food like this. We picked the place as it was closer than boiling crab, not worth it…

It's your typical seafood join, food is average and good taste. Food is fast and the staff friendly. This is the type of place I come to just get a quick bite and head out.

no outdoor dining. order fish and chips, calamari and chips. if you are going there for this only.. go eles were. everything was just like frozen super market kind only. the fish and calamari was real dark, like it was cooked in very VERY old oil. for a crab shack seafood place i expected better..there's betta fish in chips at a pool hall place here.. and thats store frozen stuff too. lolit took awhile to get service when i first got there.after the food arrive, the service was great tho. got addition tatar sauce and refills. they check see of i needed anythang eles ans was helpful.

Been in the Newark area for work and stopped by to get some local food. The Bread bowl with bisque was outstanding. Also got myself a Lobster sandwich with there homemade slaw. Was out of this work pared with the bisque. Only downside I can say is its expensive. Old saying you get what you pay for.

First time here! And it won't be the last! I travel for work with a team, and we stay in a hotel near by this place occasionally. Been wanting to try this place for a while. Got the combo fried basket and then a size of fresh oysters. I've been craving oysters for years that are this good. The fish was moist and tender. The shrimp was awesome, and the calamari was tender! The cajon fries were bomb as well. Got it to go, and the server at the front desk was super helpful and kind. Will come again!

Great local seafood Grub. Love the interior. Great customer service.... Clam chowder on point . Fried combo basket excellent.... Next time , fried Oysters.

Never had a boil bag before. Definitely use the plastic gloves and wear the bib or your shirt is toast. Absolutely delicious. Recommend they all-mix flavor and spicy hot.

We signed in and got seated very quickly. The waitress was very kind and all staff is available to answer any questions. Superb customer service! And when we ordered our food, it came out so quickly! I enjoyed the atmosphere and it was great to have some one on one with my partner, but also seems like a great place to have a get together! Very intimate and cozy!
