T N Crab Shack

As a self proclaimed seafood connoisseur, I had high hopes for this restaurant after reading the reviews on Yelp. Upon scanning the menu online, I placed my order over the phone for a shrimp dinner. I selected fries and hushpuppies for my side options. And I ordered snow crabs as well. I arrived at the location 30-35 minutes later and my food was hot and ready. The shrimp and fries were seasoned well. However, the crabs tasted as if the Old Bay seasoning was applied after the crabs were cooked. Most importantly, aside from a teaspoon of butter that likely dripped off of the crabs. There was no juice or sauce present for dipping purposes. Crabs just aren't the same without the buttery sauce. For these reasons, I must give the location 3 stars.

I was in the mood for some fried blue crabs. They didn't disappoint. The crab was delicious, and the crabcake and coleslaw were on point. I was disappointed in the corn. I love a good corn on the cob. It was flavorless, but I did enjoy my crabs. The wait was about 20 minutes, a little painful for me, because I just left work and was starving...plus I was thinking about these all afternoon. I saw a few folks just picking up as they arrived and it seems they did call a head orders. I'll be back next week for my usual Friday visit, but I'll be calling ahead to avoid the wait.

I have been craving crab shala & I had no idea they sold it here. But ofcourse its not like my auntie & them back in the days. Everything was straight....the only thing is i wish the pasta was loaded with crab meat instead of two blue crabs laying on top of the angel hair pasta. This is wayyyyyy to much work for me. Im not a fan the actual crab shells only the meat. So maybe next time I will try the shrimp shala.

Tried this place recently and it was great for the price ! Garlic snow crab was delicious and the grouper sandwich was super yummy. Everything I ordered was tasty first time having a deviled crab and i loved it. Scallops were very flavorful as well. Definitely a must try if you want affordable seafood.

2.5 Stars but I rounded up because I appreciate any small business restaurant being open right now. In my ongoing quest to feed my crab addiction, combined with my favorite crab place being closed until February '21, I decided to give this shack a try. Menu was easily found online and I pre-ordered a blue crab platter with fries and hushpuppies.The order was ready when I arrived, and the woman behind the order counter lifted the flap to show me my order. The blue crabs were small, but the order was correct. I wish they had given me the option to pay more for large crabs. Unfortunately, the styrofoam container everything was in didn't close all the way, so all the butter leaked out to the bottom of the to-go bag by the time I arrived home.I couldn't wait to crack into my meal. The hushpuppies were good, although I wish they had a sauce to dip them in, and the curly fries were okay, but the blue crabs were a real disappointment. The crab meat in all four crabs was very mushy and flavorless, and the meat in the claws was so dry it didn't even want to come out. Ugh!This is definitely one of the cheapest places around for crabs, but unfortunately the quality just wasn't there. If I end up going back, I'll definitely get something other than blue crabs.

Easily the best fried shrimp I've had in Tampa, not crazy about their wings tho. I would return!

A crab shack that's quickly becoming my go-to place in Tampa for hot seafood. This is a walk up to the window and order plates to go kind of place, no seating inside or out. That's fine with me as the food is delicious. I have ordered boiled blue crabs in garlic sauce on both of my visits. They offer in small, medium, large extra large size crabs, either boiled or fried AND they clean them out! That's a huge plus for me, not having to dig out slimy insides to get to the tender meat. I have never had fried crabs, doesn't interest me.I've also tried their fried gizzards, very tasty as well.

I was searching for a fast food fish & chips spot & stumbled upon this place. They are very affordable & the wait was not long. People seem to know about this place as more & more people started to come while I was waiting for my order. The orders are taken at the window and you wait outside until it's ready. There is a counter but no chairs outside, assuming you can eat there while standing or you can take ur order and leave. There is a parking lot adjacent to the building where you can park. I ordered shrimp, scallops and fish. You can have your seafood steamed, fried or grilled. It was all good! I was so hungry that I forgot to take pictures of the food. Sorry guys next time! I'm coming back to try everything on the menu

This crab shack has been there for long time. I like the seasoning that put on the crab. They serve live blue crab cook in the spot. Since cook it from live, the crab is fresh. I got 6 large crabs under $17. A lot of meat. Unfortunately one of the crab missing the crawl. If not because of that, I may have give them 5 stars for crab along. This shack really doesn't have a good place to sit and eat. Basically is a take out place. The day I have visited, they have 10 blue crab crawl for $3. They can cook crab by fried or steam garlic. The price varies due to the size of your choice. They serve other seafood which I may not able to said anything about it since I only like their blue crab. They have oyster, shrimp, clam strip, crab cake, devil crab, wings, snow crab, fish, gumbo, corn dog. Any how. Go for the blue crab.

Absolutely Great Seafood, the price is always reasonable and cheaper than competitors, Quick service!
