SFV Lodge

This place holds a crab feed two times a year. The beau’s mom bought tickets for us this year as our belated Christmas gift. It was my first crab feed so I can’t really compare it to anything.
It used to be $ 40/​pp but this year it is $ 45/​pp. It’s actually pretty hard to get tickets as well; you’d have to search for them in advance! A little expensive but it’s definitely worth it for the following reasons:
— Unlimited crabs! There are two different kinds of marinated crab and one type of cold crab. The marinated crabs come in a huge bowl.
— Unlimited marinated shrimp.
— Unlimited garlic bread.
— Unlimited salad.
— Lemons provided.
— Bibs and paper towels provided.
— Water BOTTLES, soda (only 7UP when I went), wine, AND beer (two per person at a time) provided.
— You don’t ever have to get up besides going to the restroom and getting your beer. You raise your hand and find a volunteer to request whatever you need.
I do suggest bringing your own crab utensils (I didn’t have mine with me but the crab was soft enough to bite with your teeth), salt, pepper, extra paper towels, and an empty stomach. Always arrive early to avoid the crowd and snatch a spot in the small parking lot!
DON’T fill up on the bread and salad. DO dip your bread into the crab marinade!
Like Kiwi said, during non-​crab season, they have an event with steak and oysters!

Crab Cioppino!!! This location is a great alternative to the IFES Hall on Sterlin Road. The good thing about SFV, they offer shrimp as a side with the crab and it’s $ 40 ($ 5 cheaper than IFES. I think it’s cheaper if you get the tickets in advance?!). Also, FREE beer while you eat! During non-​crab season, they usually have other dinning events with steak.
Unfortunately, no website with a list of days and prices. So you must call them.
I’ve been here many times and ran into many old friends. As always, I will be here every year!
