Overall rating: 4.4 Cute seafood spot in Crown Heights. Food was good & it was nice trying Alaskan Crabs for the first time. That said, it was very expensive. The lobster roll was good & the staff was really friendly. This is more of a hang out spot than anything else. I would recommend if you love seafood.

I usually have to travel to Boston to get fresh delicious seafood, but this place is 1beyond expectations. THE Clobster is a must try. Plus the spicy garlic butter for dip! They have a variety of butters to choose from. (YES CURRY BUTTER TOO)

Great shrimp, crabs, and fish. Excellent corn bread. The drinks are a nice touch lending to an island vibe. The chowder was awesome, too. I like all different types of music. That being said, I understand that we were in Brooklyn, but playing rap music the whole time we were there was not cool. I am a native New Yorker, and so were my guests. We are from different age groups. It would have been nice to hear a variety of music instead of what the cashier and / or kitchen staff prefer. Other than that, the food was great and the place was very clean.

So flavorful and super delicious! I got the crab & corn chowder and the crab BLT and both were so fresh, so tasty and exactly what I wanted. The chowder was amazing and has great chunks of crab in it and was creamy but not too rich; it has great pepper and seasoning flavors. The crab BLT was just insanely good - totally craveable.

The seafood is pretty decent. The fried whiting comes with two slices of bread and some garden greens. I requested tartar sauce but that didn’t make the trip. Could be the fact that the delivery guy dropped the order before handing it off in a torn paper bag. The crab blt was excellent! Eat everything fresh when you get it. Any reheating will not generate the same experience from the original time you got your food. The fish was good and the crab tastes fresh. I would try it again.

My oh my! My boyfriend & I found this spot after leaving one of his friends art show. We were curious to try the crab BLT & it was very delicious w/ the tots. Definitely worth it. The music was popping! I couldn’t stop dancing. The drink was very good 👍🏼& the BANANA pudding? I would recommend it after a good meal. It was sweet & delicious 🤤🍌 Lastly, the lady that attended us was very welcoming & kind. We will be coming back again soon!

This place is black-owned which is great, and my food was decent. I ordered a Clobster roll (½ crab + ½ lobster), tater tots and peach cobbler (not pictured). I've ordered here before and loved the crab rolls with great seafood portions. However, this time the crab portion was too salty for my taste. It seems the lobster was fine, but the crab half was high in sodium. The tots were crispy, but could have done without them. Lastly, the cobbler was sadly a disappointment. I honestly make a better peach dump cake. All in all, I gave them a 4 out 5 towards room for error. Staff were friendly and the outdoor seating area is lovely. Please monitor your salt. Thanks! 😉

Love this place on Franklin Avenue! Had crab tacos: warm shredded crab in a soft taco. Serious YUM. Ice cold margarita to wash it down. And the music! Classic R&B always has my heart. Casual place, casual vibe, and the food is killer. Go there now.

This restaurant is absolutely amazing . Not only is this a black owned business but it is a quality business . The employees are super sweet and professional . I ordered online and when I arrived at the restaurant to pick up my food , my order was ready for pick up. As for the sea food , it’s top quality , fresh and even taste good if you are getting take out . The crabby shack is a small space but there designers found a way to optimize the space so that customers don’t feel like they are sitting on top of each other as they eat. I ordered the shrimp and crab legs with Mac and cheese and broccoli. I didn’t like the shrimp , but I LOVED THE CRAB LEGS . They were seasoned to absolute perfection and they were juicy . I would return to this restaurant specifically for the crab legs , the sides and the good service .

The food, restaurant and staff are spectacular. My husband loves crabs legs but finds them really fiddly to eat. He spent a good 45 minutes working away at them and said they were delicious. Before we left, the waitress came out with a bag of extra crabs legs and said they'd noticed he was struggling and wanted him to have a little extra to take home and enjoy! It was a lovely gesture that made an already great dining experience even more memorable.

Food was not bad. I had the Crab BLT; husband had the Lobster Roll. We enjoyed both sandwiches. The Banana Pudding is NOT something that I would EVER order again, and the drinks were a bit watered down but they quenched our thirst. We would go back and order the sandwiches and maybe just have water.
