The Crazy Crab

I just came back home after having a wonderful lunch. It is such a pretty day I regret not sitting outside, but inside it was air conditioned - not too cool, but just right - the way they do just about everything there.The Crazy Crab is a casual dining, high quality, dockside seafood restaurant located at the very end of Rt. 360. It's at the point where you've either got to park, turn around or go swimming.I had a rockfish sandwich and told Mr. Williams, the owner, "Sir, THAT is what a rockfish sandwich is supposed to be!"Served hot, it had a nice, big, thick slab of perfectly fried rockfish along with lettuce, tomato and really good, lean bacon.I had fries on the side. I thought it was a dollar or two high at $16, but it was a great sandwich. The place was about 3/4 full, but there was plenty of motivated, smiling, efficient servers scurrying around under the watchful eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Williams.Other restaurant owners should take note: not only are the Williams' there, but they come around to every table to make sure things are right and shoot the breeze.While I was there, someone was celebrating a birthday, so the whole staff came to the table and sang a Crazy Crab happy birthday song.They can be quite busy, I've seen the line going out the door. Therefore, calling in a reservation is suggested.I am stuffed and think I'll take a nap.Mmmmm that was soooo good!

One of the best seafood restaurants in Reedville Virginia. We often go here as we have our vacation house in Reedville. This place is 5 mins drive or 30 mins boat ride from our house. Well, one thing you need to know about Reedville is that they cash this stinky fish called menhaden which is used for omega oil. When the fisherman catch this fish, the entire town stinks. You may mistake it to come from this restaurant if you're visiting for the first time. That's not true. Restaurant is absolutely nice and service is great. I recommend crab cakes stuffed in flounder as one of the must try entrees here. Especially in the summer when crabs are so fresh. Shrimp and grits are delicious as well. They have some amazing sides to choose from. Onion rings, hush puppies, and rice are my go to sides. Ambiance is nice. There have outdoor seating on a nice day. Plenty of spots to park. It gets crowded on Friday night and Saturday night. I recommend calling them in advance and making reservations.

This little Restaurant is literally located at the very end of State Route 360 in Reedville. It is right on the water in the middle of what is clearly a working fishing village as you can see the work boats all around you.We were out, just sort of poking around and decided to drive all the way to Reedville, and then upon arriving decided to eat at this restaurant. The lunch was delicious. The soup was great, the fried fish was fantastic, and my wife had a really impressive wedge salad with oysters. Service is very friendly and for a lunch stop I would say this is about as good as it gets.The only reason why I am giving it four stars instead of five is something I discovered on my bill after we had eaten. They charge a 3.5% fee for using a credit card. Not that it is a big deal, but in this day and age where literally everybody is using plastic, why not just build that cost into your menu so that it's not hanging out there After you've already ordered and eaten. Again, not a big deal, and I will definitely be back and will use my credit card again!

Excellent service and food. Great location on the water, the atmosphere was fun. The sunset over the creek was wonderful. Had the local mackerel, locally caught by the local waterman. Then the owner came by with some just off the boat bluefish. I had no idea I liked bluefish. Was told it's something to do with size and water conditions, which apparently were right that afternoon. Definitely recommend.

Food is good, service as best as they can accept us. The A/C area packed so we had to go to the porch. They should consider ceiling fans but all was enjoyed

A wonder food experience with family & friends. A hidden gem for sure! Worth the drive from Mechanisville, Va. opened on weekends now, show your support for small businesses. This place ready needs it, as it's hard to find great staff & food these days. A must try for sure! Please tip yur waiter & no I don't work in the restaurant business. Retired :-))$

Drove out there to see what the hype was about. Don't recommend! The food was fine I guess . But the service was uncomfortable in my opinion. The atmosphere was lovely. But I don't recommend driving all the way there,

(4) ~ very good overall food, service & sceneryDRINKS:** Water (tap) = (4) very good, must be filtered;)** Devil's Backbone Vienna Lager = (4) very goodFOOD:** Sweet Potato (side) = (4.25) Very good** Steamed Shrimp (half pound) = (4) very good, but I prefer cocktail sauce instead of butter...** Northern Neck Clam Chowder = (4) very good. This version is broth-based vs cream.** Toffee Cake = (4) very tasty* Crab Cake = (3.75) Good, but needs more Lump Meat & less filler...*** Crazy Crab Bisque = Not Available...so next time;)

Good food and service are here multiple times and sad to see it closed down wish it didn't close

Decided to try this place for my Bday Brunch and it was delicious! My blackened Mahi Tacos were excellent! Hubby got the seafood platter and it was equally delicious! Definitely coming back to this. small-town jewel. Service was great too
