I really wanted to like Crazy Crab because everyone was really nice. The owner, the hostess, the waitstaff were all really friendly. We were expecting a long wait for really amazing local seafood. We got the long wait. But the meal was disappointing. It took about 30-40min to get seated. No issue with that. It's busy and it's popular. We're former restaurant workers on vacation so we are pretty patient. Once we got seated we ordered and it was over an hour before we got our food. It looks like they were having computer issues. It would have been good if someone came over to let us know there were issues. But parties who came in after us were paying their checks when we just got served. Again we were fine with waiting for great local seafood. It har wasn't great. I ordered the sea scallops. I only get fried scallops when I know they are fresh and delicious. The scallop dinner was $35. I got about 6 small scallops. I guess fried meant pan fried and not breaded like I thought. They were mediocre at best. My husband gave me some of his fried scallops from his platter. Baked potato was ordinary and house side salad with some wilted lettuce was sad. I was really disappointed. My son got the fried oyster platters which was decent. Hubby got the fried captains platter and he said it was good but not worth the money. The prices are like a prime rib place but the food is absolutely not. If you are charging those prices you also shouldn't be using plastic disposable ramekins. The atmosphere is a lot of loud locals and a few were really drunk. That's not an issue if it's a casual and moderate priced seafood joint with drinks and a view of the water. The prices just don't match the atmosphere. We waited a long time after we got the food. The staff was super busy. We got 2 coconut cakes to go and when we got home we were disappointed to see that they definitely weren't house made even though they were on the specials board. We were just there for waaaay too long and spent waaaay too much money for a mediocre experience. We arrived at 6pm and it was nearing closing time when we left. No reason to complain because they were so busy and clearly having computer issues so we didn't want to wait any longer. I really wanted to like the place but I'm afraid next time we visit we won't be back.
We went directly in without a wait. I think we happened to be there at the right time. The service was great, the selection of beer and wine was large. The food was really good. I had the soft shell crab dinner which was cooked to perfection. The crabs were cooked crisp and were decent sized. The food is expensive, but so is everything in todays world.
We ate here twice during our stay in Reedville. The food and service were amazing both times. Can't beat the on-the-water location. Many of the other patrons appeared to be locals, which is always a good sign for a restaurant. I highly recommend!
