What People Are Saying!

"This place is heavenly!!! My first experience was a few months ago my sister took me for my birthday when I tell you everything was divine.... I had another opportunity to visit them again on yesterday, this time I didn’t order all you can eat. I made the great decision to get a dozen of the large male crabs they were so good ?? I can’t wait until my next visit"

"Came here 15 years ago in the dead of winter, simple good food then and stands true today. I ventured from crab dip to a crab cake. Honestly very good and not over powered with old bay seasoning. The service is a tad slow but then again its Cobb island and things here are at a slower pace. However the servers are polite and friendly."

"Had all you can eat blue crabs they were great had a young man as our waiter who struggled. My wife got the grab legs and shrimp. A little tip order your shrimp without spice on it and add it yourself it seems the shrimp is not over cooked because they have to cook it when you order it. It may sit for a while otherwise. Over all experience was good."

Steamed Shellfish Platter

Excellent snow crab legs & steamed shrimp. Chose the steamed mussels as the optional choice and all items were excellent and well worth the price. This will be my go to dining selection in my future visits!

Cream of Crab Soup

Best cream of crab soup my husband and I have ever eaten. Lots of big chunks of crab meat. Brian is a great server and brings out the soup hot. We love this place and go there frequently. Place is kept clean, staff are so friendly and food is brought out hot as soon as it is prepared no waiting. One hour drive but worth every mile of it.
