We had an amazing experience with the Rustic Crab. As a Georgia gal, this was my first experience buying fresh out of the ocean Blue Crab. He taught me the difference in the different grades and told us what we needed to do for prep. Gave us some shuckers. Bought some Old Bay. And we set off to make the most delectable crab cakes I have ever eaten. While cleaning out the crab meat and snagging some solid bites I can attest the crab meat was so sweet and succulent by its self. Certainly affordable for the quality of meat enjoyed. I will be back. Thanks guys!

We love, love, love this place! Crabs are always a nice size, even the #2's! Very friendly and reasonable prices; offers clams, etc as well! Christmas time, be sure to stop and buy a tree or wreath! Great selection last year and ours lasted til Superbowl!! 🦀❤️🌞🛥️

Randomly found this place on my way home from the zoo. Cute little place on the side of the road. We picked up 50 clams for $20. Probably the cheapest around! Brett was awesome too! My kids were asking so many questions about the crabs and how he catches them and was honestly so nice. This place is a good 45 from me, but we will 100% be back!

We stopped over on Sunday to buy crabs and clams for my wife’s birthday dinner. Everything was delicious and we were taken care of like family! This is our second time buying crabs here and it will be the only place we buy from locally.

Stopped buy late Sunday. Picked up a dozen and a half of some nice size #1s. Young man that took care of me was very professional. Happy to support this fine establishment. A+
