We were so impressed we came back again two days later. The whole experience was just as good again and we heartily recommend you visit.
The hosts were delightful, they even gave us a card and a complimentary drink to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. My wife's whole spidercrab (you heard me, a whole spidercrab!) was hands down the best crab she's had in her life, it was that good, that we went back another day to have it again!
Also, the price point for what you get is well worth your money compared to other places we've tried. Our love and appreciation to the staff at crab shack for making our 1st wedding anniversary special. THANK YOU to everyone, with love, Alex & Jordi
Seafood was spectacular, I recommend sharing the crab of the day. Finished with beautiful views by the beach.
3rd visit to Jersey and 3rd visit to the Crab Shack and we were not disappointed.
The oyster’s are super fresh and arrive with option of Tabasco, fresh lemon or shallot vinegar (or “naked” ).
The spider crab was well prepared and presented and full of taste.
For something different I decided to try the flat iron steak and will definitely be going for that again.
In a stunning location with choice of outdoor or indoor seating this great for either lunch or an evening dinner!
Great sea views.
Unfortunately, the service was slow, and I had to ask multiple times where my main course was.
Toilets need a good clean.
Great menu with lots of choices.
They offer table service however you have to pay your bill at the bar.
Food was nice. The prawn and vegetable fritters to start were good. The crab poutine was ok but very expensive.
We had fish and chips, fish tacos and ramen for main which were all ok. The tacos were a little underwhelming.
We had the cafe delicio for desert which was a pastela de nata with some coffee and ice cream - again this was fine but nothing to write home about.
