★★★★★ 5.0 Dad Reviewer · Jun 2025

Great spot, great food, great atmosphere. We were seated right away. Waited awhile for the food, but it was well worth the wait. BBQ sandwich was excellent and so was the brisket platter. Highly recommend the hush puppies, fries, Mac and cheese, and tater salad. All were great. Nice beer selection as well. Friendly staff, if you are in Corolla, I recommend you stop in!

★★★★★ 5.0 Benedikt Reichert · Mar 2025

We had dinner at Fatcrabs and were absolutely blown away! The seafood was incredibly fresh and full of flavor—easily some of the best we’ve ever had. Every dish was perfectly prepared, and you could really taste the quality. What made the experience even better was the outstanding service. Our server did an amazing job, not only being attentive and professional but also keeping us entertained with great jokes and a fantastic attitude. It’s rare to find such a perfect mix of top-notch food and such a fun, welcoming atmosphere. If you’re in the area and love seafood, Fatcrabs is an absolute must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!

★★★★★ 5.0 Branden Weimer · Sep 2025

Excellent mix of BBQ and seafood! Great atmosphere, very prompt and friendly service with reasonable prices. Menu has a bit of everything so finding something for everyone shouldn’t be an issue. Will absolutely visit again in the future!

Our experience here was excellent. We dined on a Tuesday evening around 6pm, our party of 2 was seated no wait. Our server was friendly and timely in getting our drinks and appetizers right out. Brisket was super yummy we enjoyed trying the sauces provided on the table. A fun touch is the trivia cards to play together while you wait.

★★★★★ 5.0 Noah Valentine Styles · May 2021

My party of 5 was seated fifteen minutes before our time. The server was crazy fast and efficient. Food came out of the kitchen quickly. Everything from the fried shrimp to icy cold raw oysters was perfectly prepared. Fatcrabs was very casual, from rolls of paper towels to plastic forks instead of napkins and silverware. All efforts go into the preparation of fresh seafood and it's yummy good!
