Washington Crab - Washington

Good service, must've been a while since I was here because they have air conditioning nowOrder food to go while I was waiting and I came out in 10 minutes Flounder was nice and tender Scallops were amazing Not cheap but good seafood I got the three item combo . A lot of crinkle fries.

Every time I pass through Washington, NC I always have to stop at Washington Crab to have a meal. Their seafood never disappoints. They have the most wonderful, light batter they fry their food in. The portions are large and they have the best coleslaw. I enjoy ordering fried scallops and oysters. My friend had fried shrimp and flounder and enjoyed his meal. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you receive.The ambiance is vey casual and the service is always wonderful. I highly recommend making Washington Crab part of your travels.

Washington Crab was recommended by the hotel and had good reviews so I decided to check it out. It looks run down on the outside and inside wasn't as clean as I would have liked. Service was friendly and I ordered the flounder and shrimp. I went with it fried but grilled may have been better as this was overfried. I love sweet potato casserole but did not care for this. The fries and hush puppies were fine. I probably wouldn't return here as there are better options.

What a cool place! This restaurant is the perfect beach dive. They have pretty much any seafood you can think of on the menu and amazing sides and appetizers... so hard to decide! Everyone's food was cooked perfectly (we asked for it cooked medium). The vegetables came out piping hot and the sweet potato casserole was just sweet enough with nuts. The only consideration you should make with your meal is that the bone-in catch of the day was a small bony fish which made it difficult to eat. That's just the nature of the fish though. Our food came out about 5 minutes after we ordered! I highly recommend this hidden gem in Washington!

Just a great local seafood joint with a basic seafood menu. The fried light shrimp, scallops and flounder platter is simply comfort food!

Seafood overcooked. Shrimp were like rubber. Clam strips over cooked. Hard to chew. Cocktail sauce was thin as water. Even though our order number was "on" the table, our waitress was so high she didn't believe the orders in her hands were for our table. Had to convince her they were ours, told her what we all ordered and even then she had to go back to kitchen to ask before she gave us our food. Took her 3 trips to the kitchen before she got our orders right. Gentleman running cash register tried to tell us we couldn't order what we were trying to order. Had to ask him 3 times before he finally put out order in. Don't know what was so hard about clam strips and a side of fries. But according to him we couldn't have it. Apparently manager must not have been there tonight because food and service was absolutely awful. Will not go back.

We had a free hotel stay to use before it expired that we'd earned and saw a great review of this restaurant in Our State magazine so decided since we'd never been out this way we'd kill two birds with one stone!My spouse was a little skeptical from the outdoor appearance when she looked on Yelp, but I reminded her it didn't look much different than a place we love in Southport so I booked a hotel and we headed off on an adventure!Upon arrival it did look pretty run down, not like the place I mentioned above, but those reviews couldn't be wrong in Our State, so in we went! I ordered fried shrimp and clams and my spouse fried oysters and scallops.We got our drinks and carefully walked to a table. The was a bunch of water on the floor by the drink machine leading into that room. I later pointed it out to an employee who for whatever reason could only see half of it when he came with a mop. Didn't matter cos wherever it was leaking from it all came back again! There were a lot of seniors who came here and I was concerned for them in particular with the standing water on the floor.Our food arrived and the employee let my spouse know one of her scallops had fallen on the floor so her order was one short and they'd bring it to her. Meanwhile, the scallops they did give her looked burnt, but she said they tasted ok and the oysters were fine. My shrimp was very good and there was a ton of them. The clams were pretty good, but there was hardly any by comparison. The hushpuppies were bland as could be, but the potato salad wasn't bad. My spouse did get her other scallop plus one more and they were not over fried at all.She needed to use the restroom and when asked was told it was outside by the deck area. The door wouldn't close properly and a couple kids walked in on her. When she came back she said, you don't want to use that bathroom!Long story short, I don't think we'd return to find out if their food is hit or miss since we experienced both on our first visit.

Well, sadly, this is the best seafood place in town. That I know of. The crab bisque is acceptable, if you haven't had any good seafood in a while, and now you're desperate. Other than that, don't bother. Find some pork bbq.

I have to forewarn you, the crab cake is delicious along with side of slaw, corn, and hushpuppies. I have to be honest, my flounder looked and tasted a bit funky. The clams were unrecognizable; small pieces and so thick with breading. The scallops had very over-cooked crispy bacon wrapped around with a couple of toothpicks. The lunch was pricey and assumed I would get fresh products. The inside of restaurant was fine, plenty of sitting area. I am so disappointed and heartbroken that our order had so much uneaten food. Below are photos of our meals for a visual.

The food is amazing and the staff members are always friendly and attentive. This place needs to expand to Lenoir County!!!
