The Crazy Crab

On a beautiful day my friend and I decided to try a place we haven’t been so off to Crazy Crab we went. We were seated promptly albeit on a 4 ft wide dock edge. The place was vibrant with patrons , boats , and I heard a few dogs on docked boats. The views were pleasant , the day perfect. My buddy had been wanting Shrimp and Grits , I always try the Salmon, this time blackened. We both had salads which were fine I did the Ceasar . Our dinners arrived. The Grits was a generous portion, the Salmon not so much. I had the side of a veggie medley which was a bit overcooked n missed any flavoring, a bit disappointing. The Salmon had flavor, but was a bit undersized for the price I thought. I did really like the cucumber dill sauce for the Salmon. And yes, I tasted the Grits and found t

We went directly in without a wait. I think we happened to be there at the right time. The service was great, the selection of beer and wine was large. The food was really good. I had the soft shell crab dinner which was cooked to perfection. The crabs were cooked crisp and were decent sized. The food is expensive, but so is everything in todays world.

I really wanted to like Crazy Crab because everyone was really nice. The owner, the hostess, the waitstaff were all really friendly. We were expecting a long wait for really amazing local seafood. We got the long wait. But the meal was disappointing. It took about 30-40min to get seated. No issue with that. It's busy and it's popular. We're former restaurant workers on vacation so we are pretty patient. Once we got seated we ordered and it was over an hour before we got our food. It looks like they were having computer issues. It would have been good if someone came over to let us know there were issues. But parties who came in after us were paying their checks when we just got served. Again we were fine with waiting for great local seafood. It har wasn't great. I ordered the se

The view is stunning! Reedsville, a small fishing town in Northern Neck, is alive with history. Beautiful old houses line the road to the water. And the restaurant at the end of your journey is well worth the trip! The Crazy Crab has great, fresh seafood and, did I mention the VIEW?? Crab Cakes were the bomb 💣 and the Butter Beans were even better! 🤯 You can't go wrong with anything you order and the owner will make sure of that! Worth the trip from anywhere!!!!

We ate here twice during our stay in Reedville. The food and service were amazing both times. Can't beat the on-the-water location. Many of the other patrons appeared to be locals, which is always a good sign for a restaurant. I highly recommend!
