Mud City Crab House

Food was good! Had a fried oyster sandwich. Turned away the she crab soup, only bc it was tomato based. Had the NE clam chowder, it was ok. Dessert was the pecan pie, not really good. Nice decor inside, cool old clam rakes and great old photos. Nice seafood market right up front. Service was ok.

Sometimes you stumble on a place and it's the best thing that could have happened. We were nearby and found this spot after a quick search. Wow. The food is beyond good, especially the seafood bisque, the calamari, the garlic butter clams, and their famous crab cakes. Our server was so helpful in selecting items that showcased the restaurant's variety, and the outdoor patio with a revamped trailer for a bar was cozy and perfect. One of my favorite dining experiences. Go here every chance you get.

Mud City Crab House is one of those rare places that makes you feel instantly at home the moment you pull in. The staff are genuinely friendly — not the rehearsed kind of friendly, but the kind that makes you feel like you’ve been coming there for years. The whole place radiates warmth, from the cozy dining room to the outdoor waiting area that feels like a laid-back beach food truck hangout. You can grab a drink, relax by the outdoor fireplace, and soak in the buzz of happy diners before your table’s ready. Inside, the seafood is fresh and perfectly prepared, the energy is upbeat but unpretentious, and the people make it feel like more than just dinner — it’s a local ritual done right.

Great seafood restaurant on the way to LBI. Unfortunately, we stopped by when blue claw crab was out of season. So we had the linguine with shrimp and scallops & shrimp skewers. Both were excellent as were the side that we picked. We had the jalapeño bombers for an app. Didn’t really tasted the crab it out is season too?). But they were excellent as well. Will return.

Fantastic inexpensive seafood place , not to be missed! Erica was our server and made great suggestions. Food was quick! Twin lobster tails are a home run. Can’t wait to go back! Almost forgot, stuffed jalapeño peppers are a must. Also stuffed shrimp hit a home run.
