I will never go here again. I wasted money 3 times thinking maybe it will get better. The 1st time I went it was ok the blue crabs $4 were super small but the flavor was good. 2nd time the crabs were smaller and half were not edible because they were mushy and over cooked. The last time I went I had to throw the whole pan of crabs away the potatoes were burnt which made the garlic butter taste burnt the broccoli undercooked and no flavor and alll the crabs were mushy/overcooked. They dip the crabs to either make them hotter. Oh and I'm surprised L & I hasn't shut this place down it's super dirty inside like cakes of dirty everywhere. If your gonna be dirty at least be good .

I came in for some blue crabs today around 5:30. I wasn't really sure what I wanted but I had plenty of time to think about it. There was a line that snaked around the entire perimeter. From the door, past all the cases, to the cashier and back to the door. They seem to have their system and manage as best they can to accommodate the crowd.I noticed that they do have on line ordering available and they also, unlike other businesses of the same type, answer their phone. By the time I was called up to the cashier it was well beyond 6:00. I was happy to order however because I saw freshly steamed blues being loaded into the case while I waited and they were a pretty good size. I got a half dozen and they dressed them up in some garlic butter for me. I was only out of pocket 7.49, 1.00 per crab 1.00 for the sauce plus tax. Mind you, my crabs were whole but you can also get them cleaned for an additional wait.

My husband wanted some crabs so he asked me go here on my way home. 45 minutes in line and I'm not sure why. It just moved very slowly with the 2 ladies taking orders. Some people were getting platters and others steamed crabs. It seemed like they were waiting until each order was ready before the next person was waited on. They definitely need a separate cashier to keep the line moving. They have a large selection of crabs, mussels, oysters, salads(macaroni, seafood, etc), crab cakes plus some assorted desserts (carrot cake, brownies, cheesecake slices), water ice, slushees and other cold drinks. All I wanted was his crabs and to get home. It's a neighborhood spot so I'm sure the regulars are used to the wait. I should have called ahead. Next time I know better. I'll post a pic once he breaks open the bag.

My boyfriend and I was craving for some seafood and decided to stop in here since our usual place was closed for the day . I honestly think their seafood was a little pricey compared to other places I've been too and on top of that everything else had to be order as a side instead of having it as a platter . I usually order a platter and it comes with steam vegetables including corn, potatoes, and broccoli . Over here everything has to be ordered as a side . It'll break your pocket a little. That's why I didn't rate them 5 stars . But I have to admit their garlic butter is so good . Staff was quick and friendly .

4/5/24 p.m. - On Friday, I went to the Crab Shack 2 on Rising Sun Avenue to purchase crabs; I went inside to find a lady with auburn/brown braids sitting on the food wrapping station eating crabs, fingers in mouth... Licking her fingers and using the white plastic fork to clean the crab from the inside of her teeth. I said hello, and she looked over, wiped her hand on a paper napkin and proceeded to ask what I wanted to order. It was the most disgusting experience, she didn't even wash her hands so I respectfully said, never mind, no thanks and proceeded to leave the store. Watching someone suck on there fingers and crabs before handling food for the public is absolutely disgraceful. I will NEVER go to this store again and should have known that something was wrong by the fact that the store was empty on a Friday evening.

$4 and $5 blue crabs. Shrimp $16 per pound. Ridiculously overpriced but I dont care if its good. Crabs and shrimp were dry. Like they had been reheated multiple times or over cooked although some crabs were partially frozen. shrimp were severely overcooked Seasoning was ok. I was shorted on the amount of crabs i purchased. Wasn't worth driving back. I highly doubt I will ever go back. I sautéed it myself after realizing how terrible they were. My recommendation is to Save your money or go somewhere else. This place is less than mediocre.

They don't answer the phone, waiting on a return phone call, hoping my order was an employees error or honest mistake and will be reimbursed,, I wont add photos yet, unless they argue the point, photos are very telling. Several xalls, left message, no reply yet.

If I could give it a zero, I would. The crabs were horrible. They were dried out and tasteless. They had no males. The garlic butter sauce was thick, butterless and lacking garlic flavor. Tastes like they buy gallons of processed butter and just pour it over the crabs. No creativity whatsoever with the flavor, AT ALL. I also ordered the garlic butter shrimp. They were not cleaned, dry and tasteless as well. The people giving this place 5 stars are delusional, or they just don't know good seafood that's well seasoned. SORRY, NOT SORRY.
