★★★★★ 5.0 Bethanie Gist · Jan 2026

The food was excellent and the service was amazing! Host Gio (sp?) was especially friendly and helpful. And whatever you do, DEFINITELY try the fried oysters, extra crispy. I eat oysters, but am not a huge fan. Theses, however, are a MUST HAVE!

Nice place for casual seafood. Comfortable bench tables and a full bar. My lobster roll was pretty packed with chunks and was good. My companion’s shrimp salad had large tasty prawns. The only ding was that the server disappeared for a while so drink refills were slow, but it was off hours and I assume lightly staffed for that. Available parking in the lot. Wheelchair accessible.

I loved the experience here .!The decoration is simply spectacula from the entrance, I felt transported to the coast. The blue and white colors, combined with nautical elements, create a fresh and welcoming atmosphere. But what really shines is the food. The seafood dishes are an explosion of flavors and textures. The staff's attention was also exceptional, always willing to recommend and explain the dishes. I can't wait to come back and try more of their delights. Highly recommended! *Highlights:* - Impressive decoration - Delicious and fresh food - Excellent service

Ray's Crab Shack is a good place to go if you enjoy seafood boils. The taste of everything is very fresh and the price is reasonable. Service was exceptional and helpful for our big party that needed lots of extra utensils, bibs, lemons, etc. Honestly, the sauce is not my absolute favorite I have had at seafood restaurants but it still is tasty and the overall experience was great with much better service and sides than other restaurants. I will come back if I'm in the area again!
