This is my go-to place for crabs 🦀. They always cook and season them perfectly. There is also a wide variety of salads and other seafood dishes. They also have a wide variety of water ice flavors. Treat yourself and check them out!

The food was too salty and the fish was over seasoned. They basically gave us what they wanted instead of what we asked for. We won't be returning.

★★★★★ 5.0 Priestly Canty · Aug 2021

They don't have many places that sell Blue Claw Crab in NY so when I saw this place, I had to circle back and stop. This is a take out place only. They have an assortment of seafood to choose from, and the prices vary. Alaskan Crab Leg, Snow Crab, Dunguness Crab, Loster Tail, Crawfish, Mussels, Clams, your choice. Their sides of Shrimp Salad, & Seafood Salad looks good as well. They have a price range of blue claw crabs you can buy. $3, $4, $5 per crab. It depends on the size you want. They steamed them right there, and it is seasoned very well. Their garlic butter Eat, & Peel Shrimp was also seasoned well. I like this spot!

Staff is very rude. Don’t speak to customers just have you standing there . Will cook your food and don’t give it to you , just have it sitting there until u ask for it.
