The Crabby Shack

Amazing place, really like it. The crab taco is so tasty. Combined with corn and potatoes you’re sorted

I love this place. I have been to so many restaurants that supposedly specialize in making crab but none have the flavor of this place. I get the dungeness crab legs every time and it is the best. Reasonable pricing for a lb of MEATY legs, beautiful décor, warm atmosphere, and good customer care. I also recommend the crab BLT.

I often long for good seafood while I’m away from New Orleans. The crabby shack has food that has great flavor and is fresh. I always get the crab roll when I visit. The staff is very friendly which helps the experience!

Nice and cozy place. Friendly staff, this was my first time there with my family. The lady who took our order made some suggestions and we decided to go with the crab roll with avocado and garlic butter. Also ordered the honey butter cornbread. We took a seat and waited for our order. It didn’t take long about 15 mins. When it came and I took the first bite omg!!! The bun was so soft the crab meat was well seasoned!!! The cornbread was sweet and heavy so make sure you save that for last. I ordered the lobster Mac n cheese to go because sitting there watching other people order made me want it too. But definitely going to come again worth it not to pricey but not too cheap. Thank me later

I’ve been meaning to go here for months, but for whatever reason it hadn’t happened. Until… I had a lazy Saturday committed to Netflix, the couch and the potential to clean my apartment. This of course needed to be complemented by a delivered meal. And there is was on the seamless listing. Hmm I always envisioned sitting down inside the crabby shack and enjoying my first meal onsite, but the couch seemed like a great alternative.
Delivery was prompt and as promised which is great for a Saturday evening.
I ordered the crab roll and crab mac and cheese. Everything was very tasty — mac and cheese wasn’t overly cheesy or greasy and I didn’t feel as though I’d been duped on my crab portion.
Portion wise I’m happy that I ordered the mac and cheese to accompany my crab roll. A crab roll alone would not cut it.
I would definitely order from here again. Maybe I’ll eat at restaurant next time.

First time eating here on Sunday night. It was highly recommended by a good friend.
Bad crab, bad food!
Soooo much season salt on the crab and on the tacos. There was so much salt we had to brush it off with a napkin. It was even under the taco shell. It was all over my clothes and fingers smelled like season salt even after several hand washes.
I ordered the $ 20 crab legs they were very dry, SHELL hard as a rock and when cracked the meat had no moisture and it was stringy like fiber. I ate them because they were expensive but they were so tasteless. Very little crab taste. All I could taste was their awful seasoned butter. I think the crab was old frozen, frostbit because the shells were so rubbery. Some areas of the shell were transparent that’s how old it looked. I won’t go there again. The tacos were terrible too. My daughter ate only one or two bites and was done So disappointed.
I took my daughter here with me for a mother daughter dinner date, wish the food had been better. $ 50 bucks wasted.
I looove crab and I have had it many times before. My memory of it was that It tasted great with just some butter, lemon. The meat was thick and plump, light pink and it came out smoothly, delicious and juicy, soft and full flavor.
I do want to say,
Very nice employees, sweet and helpful. I should have said something but they were so busy and I didn’t want to ruin my nice date and conversation my daughter.

Nice little restaurant that specializes in crab. Had the crab roll. It was amazing! Packed with delicious succulent crab meat and the roll was a perfect compliment! Enjoyed the experience! Come on in.

One of the best meals I’ve had in NY so far. I didn’t even know I liked crab until the Crabby Shack.
My friend had the crab roll, corn, chips, blueberry lemonade, honey butter cornbread AND the pear red wine PIE. Need I say more.

Stayed in Brooklyn in December and found this high rated eatery on Unilocal.Place was clean and had nautical design theme. Walked in and the friendly staff immediately greeted and took my order. Of course, I had to try a couple of items :)
First, the Crab Roll. I was salivating when I saw it come out of the kitchen. It was stuff full off real fresh crab meat. I also ordered the Crab Mac & Cheese. It took a little longer because they bake it from scratch but was worth it. Piping hot, gooey tasty cheese w/​nice crust, and again, filled with real crab meat (see close up pic). The mac was big enough to share for 2 but I was solo so more for me… lol. Only wish the order of Crab Roll came w/​a side for the price of $ 13. The mac was only $ 11 bucks.
FYI, they don’t serve fountain sodas here but offer homemade lemonade or ice tea and artisanal natural bottle sodas. I tried this Pineapple Coconut Nutmeg soda and it was delicious.

Had the Famous crab roll and crab mac and cheese, the roll was exactly what it says it is. Crabmeat and roll, the roll was toasted and loaded with the crab meat but it was a bit on the dry side. the Mac and cheese was rich and tasty, but pricey for the size of the portion. hey offer a few fun crafty sodas and iced teas.
Place your order, take a number (plan to wait) and hope to grab a seat if you can but the spot is pretty small.
If I’m in the neighborhood and craving crab I’ll hit this spot gain, there’s nothing of the sort near by.
I appreciate the meal combos to save a few bucks.

Five stars for crabby shack. You should only come here if you want crab. My family and I had: a crab roll, crab Blt, crab grilled cheese, crab tacos and crab cake sliders. The crab cake sliders are kinda dry and there isn’t an option for a plain mayo or something, because the chipotle sauce didn’t taste balanced and neither did the aioli sauce. Alas, the crab roll was my favorite– it was buttery and plentiful.
This place is great because you get crab without all the hard the work that comes with eating crab; however, this place is a bit pricey and for everything I mentioned plus 4 drinks was $ 74. So understand this deliciousness comes at a high price!
Enjoy

The crab roll is solid. We had had the Mac n Cheese. I am
Not sure how I feel about that yet. So the crab roll was stuff when crab to the brim. You can have it with butter sauce which I love because mayo is no beuno in my mind. This place is hole in a wall small restaurant with some seats feeling. The service is decent a little slow. I did not have a chance to try the other items. I think the corn bread would be my next bite his place

Upon entering the store we were greeted and I proceeded to stare at the menu for five minutes, trying to make up my mind. I finally settled on two crab tacos with chipotle mayo something I had enjoyed on my previous visit and a side of broccoli.
I genuinely believe they read their Unilocal reviews and have definitely taken heed to people comments. This time my tacos were stuffed! Lots of fresh crab meat, cabbage and radishes but they odeed on the sauce, it overpowered everything. After scraping majority of it off the flavors of each ingredient were able to shine. The broccoli was delicious, very buttery and garlicky; a perfect side to anything on the menu.
I originally was going to give a three star rating but a few bites into my second taco I noticed an eyelash stuck to the bottom of the taco shell. I was beyond disgusted and brought it to the owners attention. She was apologetic and offered me another taco on the house. I was not interested as I was already turned all the way off but accepted and got it to go.
Staff is still helpful and friendly and the owner did her best to rectify the situation but I will not be returning.

Love at first bite!!! I was lured in after passing their creative chalkboard on numerous occasions and then seeing that thee Denzel Washington was here.
I now crave this place and have to talk myself out of not coming everyday. I always get the same things; crab roll, broccoli, and cornbread. Everything is amazing. The corn bread is really sweet and unlike any I’ve had anywhere else, in a great way. The broccoli is always perfectly cooked and I love the sauce that comes with the crab roll.
They are usually pretty busy so food sometimes takes a few extra minutes to cook but I promise it’s well worth the wait. I’m so happy this spot is so conveniently located!

Simple and plain, the food here is excellent! I mentioned a great lobster place a week or two ago, but crab is, first of all a cheaper option and just as tasty. They do also do lobster here as well. As per usual anywhere, lobster is about $ 5 more. I’m sure I’ll go back to try it as well one day.
I went with the buttery crab roll. It was great. Stuffed full of crab on a simple hotdog bun. They had a crab Mac n cheese that I thought it redundant to try so I decided to just get the normal Mac n cheese. The Mac and cheese is phenomenal! I’d go back for it alone. It rivals and surpasses the likes of that from many of the local West Indian restaurants.
My friend had the crab grilled cheese sandwich. They use the same mixture of cheeses as the Mac and cheese, so to couple that with crab was perfection as well. I also had a bit of her honey butter cornbread too. Good stuff.
Oh and there’s banana pudding! It’s more custard and less banana and wafer than I’d make at home for myself but the taste was still good enough to compliment as a dessert portion of the meal.
I was originally planning to bring my own beer because I saw a review about it being that type of establishment. Luckily I went in first and saw that they had a small but adequate selection of beers and ciders, so all was well.
Great place and I’ll be back soon.

This establishment has been on my list for a while and I finally got a chance to check it out. I visited the restaurant on a weekday around 8pm with a friend. The décor of Crabby Shack so cute, clean, and bright. There are a couple tables in the restaurant but I wouldn’t recommend bring too many people in your party for that reason. The music here is PERFECT and I am pretty sure it is because of the neo-​soul music playlist and the cool and calm vibe it created.
Then have a decent size menu from crab legs to lobster rolls to crab rolls. Which is enough of a reason to return for a second time. I ordered the Lobster roll and took about 10 minutes to make it. When I received my food I was kind of surprised because just lobster meat on a bun. I am use to having lobster roll that has mayo and maybe a little green onions. The lobster meat was tender, well seasoned, and tasty.
All in all this is a restaurant I would return to SOON and urge people to try if you love well season fresh seafood.

DELICIOSO!!! I never call before I go partly because it’s always on a whim and I never know what I want. All the options are just soooo good!!! Everything I’ve ultimately ordered is just sooo good!!! I didn’t find the wait to be too long even though I don’t have the foresight to call ahead.
We ordered
Lobster Rolls — needed maybe a dipping sauce or a nice flavored butter drizzle
Crab Tacos — they were solo good… loved the lemon aioli
Lobster Mac & Cheese — OMG!!!
Steamed Crab Legs — steamed perfectly and they were delicious. Just had to add my own seasonings when I got home (old bay and melted butter)
Can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu. Everything I’ve had so far has just been so fresh and delicious!

I definitely did my research before going to The Crabby Shack.
The ambiance is adorable, it’s quaint and small, and you literally feel like you’ve walked into a small beach shack.
I had the Crab Roll for $ 12. It was pretty good, a bit on the expensive side; seeing that the roll was really small. The crab was delicious though. I’d definitely go back and try something different.

5 Stars!!! Can i show you how I did my dance when I tasted the Crab and Shrimp?
Oh boy. The food here is delicious. My taste buds were in Seafood Heaven. I did a dance in the restroom while they prepared my food. The Old Bay seasoning taste great. You will get messy if you take this to go. The cornbread taste like someone’s Grandmas recipe from the south. It had the right amount of mystery sauce on it. Lol.
It’s a bit expensive but you can’t go wrong! I spent $ 40 on myself!
It’s never crowded and the restroom is über clean. That’s a pet peeve of mine! There was Cotton in the restroom the first time i went by and I thought to myself this is strange and kind of took me back. Then I met the owners the last time I stopped by and they are Sisters! And very humble… They hopped on bicycles and rode off into the sun! I wish them the best of the best.
I will return again and dine in one day. You can BYOB!

Nautical theme is on fleek here! They did a good job on décor, even in the bathroom. Fun and casual ambience.
The crab roll was great. Lightly toasted bread, buttery flavor, overfilling with chunks of crab meat. I do wish it was a bit bigger, like you will def need a side if you are super hungry.
As a seafood lover, I left satisfied. Hoping to try more from the menu.
