Had a 45min wait on a busy Saturday night. But well worth it for an awesome pot of crabs ($30/pot enough for 2+ppl). Make sure your waiter gives you a pot of water to wash your hands!

A lovely time at CrabShack with great foods and service. I wouldn't recommend the pot of crabs ($30) because they are a lot of work for little reward. Go bigger crabs with larger legs.

Cajun fish a tad dry. But delicious clam chowder and fettuccine - use of wholesome seafood stock. Pair them with the house white and you won't go wrong. Great atmosphere.

Waited for 1.5hours for a table for 8.. And it's worth waiting...The two pots of 1kg Paddle Crab it's delicious.. ($50 a pot)

Michael McGimpsey

Everything. I particularly liked The Welly Burger but honestly everything I saw looked delicious. Very popular place.

Gabriel Seah

They have 3 different types of crabs (Scottish Dungeness, Blue Swimmer and Jonah Crab Claws ) - each with different types of flesh

Nicky Jones

Awesome ambience, service and food. Crab pots and clams were very comforting. Delicious. Our new place to take visitors.

Artem Gilev

Be prepared for a wait / check if crab is available. A decent place for a casual chow. Prices are reasonable but check the printed menu - they differ from the online version. Kids eat free on Sundays!

The seafood here is decently priced and delicious and homely.

Susie Steiner

OMG! Even for a non vegetarian , the veggie burger is AMAZING! Layers of veggies instead of a mixture. You won't be disappointed.
