★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Courtnei Harris · Jan 2026

I had the unfortunate pleasure of witnessing the owner- who clearly does not know how to use Google to update their business hours - scream and threaten to "rip" my sister out of her car when she arrived to order food - as it stated online the restaurant was open. Very racist. Very unprofessional. I will never recommend this place to anyone nor ever return here again. Our money can be spent elsewhere in a professional setting , where the owner / staff is committed to providing a great experience for their guests. The most disgusting behavior i have ever experienced at any establishment in my lifetime. Everywhere in the area has crabs. I implore to whomever reads this to please go elsewhere. Crab Shack? Crab Trash 🗑

If you’re looking for the best crabs around, I highly recommend Chesapeake City Crab Shack. The crabs are always a great size, and the staff is some of the friendliest you’ll meet. It will forever be our favorite spot for crabs—you won’t be disappointed

Crabs were served steaming hot and fresh. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It was $240 for a bushel of blue claws number 1s. They were nice and heavy. Fresh fish, huge shrimp, and scallops in the seafood case. Carryout only!

★★★★★ 5.0 James Hosler Jr · Jul 2021

I live in a town next to the water and have tried crabs from all over and Crab Shack has never failed to impress me. Quality service, wonderful crabs and their seasoning, in my opinion is some of the best I have had. Even great on corn. Been a customer since the 90's and will continue to be. Keep up the great work.
