Lady owned and operated for 11+ years. The food is incredible! If you want healthy options like fresh crab or shrimp bc you're doing a keto/gluten-free thing, or maybe you want a taco or some lobster Mac and cheese.... chowder.... a salad...or a lobster roll... or a lobster + crab roll.... or a chicken + rice bowl.... or a maybe you're just interested in their tasty frozen beverages.....there is something for you. They also have great hot sauce that you can buy. Can't recommend enough.

Great service and fresh food. The cornbread was HANDS DOWN MY FAVE!! 10/10 recommend! They have something for everyone. Liquor and rum punch as a beverage option. The Roll is a HIT!! They make homemade sauce as well! The chipotle mayo should be made in a bottle to go!! Nice crunch to the crab cake! Tacos have a nice flavor! So delicious! They have daily specials! Clean bathroom, and seating area both inside and out!

been here a few times now and y'all are missing out. stop by and enjoy delicious food, a wonderfully warm welcome, and a very cool vibe easy dining inside. great spot for a networking lunch, a simple birthday party. and you'll support local entrepreneurship. Franklin Avenue is where it's at. c'mon down. highly recommend the mac and cheese and the fish tacos with pickled radish and a tasty sauce.

THIS RESTAURANT IS BLACK & WOMAN-OWNED + THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!? But seriously, I have nothing but great things to say about this restaurant. The food is always hot, fast & flavorful. They have outdoor seating available which is nice during the pandemic. The rum punch & margarita are delicious. I recommend the grilled cheese, clobster, & crab BLT as well as the crab & corn chowder! I’ve gone multiple times and now know, I would order a few things & try them out, especially if you’re hungry & want to be full. After trying the crab Mac & cheese, I didn’t love it but try it for yourself & see. Everything else is so yummy!!!!

Overall rating: 4.4 Cute seafood spot in Crown Heights. Food was good & it was nice trying Alaskan Crabs for the first time. That said, it was very expensive. The lobster roll was good & the staff was really friendly. This is more of a hang out spot than anything else. I would recommend if you love seafood.

Great shrimp, crabs, and fish. Excellent corn bread. The drinks are a nice touch lending to an island vibe. The chowder was awesome, too. I like all different types of music. That being said, I understand that we were in Brooklyn, but playing rap music the whole time we were there was not cool. I am a native New Yorker, and so were my guests. We are from different age groups. It would have been nice to hear a variety of music instead of what the cashier and / or kitchen staff prefer. Other than that, the food was great and the place was very clean.

This place is black-owned which is great, and my food was decent. I ordered a Clobster roll (½ crab + ½ lobster), tater tots and peach cobbler (not pictured). I've ordered here before and loved the crab rolls with great seafood portions. However, this time the crab portion was too salty for my taste. It seems the lobster was fine, but the crab half was high in sodium. The tots were crispy, but could have done without them. Lastly, the cobbler was sadly a disappointment. I honestly make a better peach dump cake. All in all, I gave them a 4 out 5 towards room for error. Staff were friendly and the outdoor seating area is lovely. Please monitor your salt. Thanks! 😉

Food was not bad. I had the Crab BLT; husband had the Lobster Roll. We enjoyed both sandwiches. The Banana Pudding is NOT something that I would EVER order again, and the drinks were a bit watered down but they quenched our thirst. We would go back and order the sandwiches and maybe just have water.

The group consensus was to return and bring more friends. This place proves itself time after time. This meal ranks among my top dining experiences. The Crabby Shack shows impressive capability. I wa…

I'm from Boston, so I love a good lobster roll so I said let me give this place a try. They give very little lobster meat that was tough, overseasoned and on a hot dog bun for $37.02. No thank you

The food and pictures must be better when seated in person because the $90 I ordered and waited over an hour for, just wasnt worth it to me.

If I could give no stars, I would. I ordered two fried chicken tacos and received this. The only thing I didn’t ask for was pico de gallo. Aside from the presentation not being it, it tasted how it looks. Bland, dry and thrown together. $12.

I know lobster rolls in NYC are always pricey, but what they serve here is tiny and still way overpriced. The portion was so small it felt more like a snack than a meal. On top of that, they make it more complicated than it needs to be — too many extras and gimmicks when all people want is a simple, well-prepared lobster roll that actually lets the lobster shine. I just don’t get the hype. For what you’re paying, you expect quality and value, and neither was here. If you want to try a real lobster roll in the city, maybe try Luke’s Lobster — the rolls there are straightforward, authentic, and actually taste like what a lobster roll should be. The Crabby Shack just doesn’t deliver. I won’t be back.

I’m so thankful to read these bad reviews and to think I was planning to order for my mothers birthday dinner from here, but after all these horrible reviews I would never step a foot in here or spend a dollar here. You want good seafood head over to Randazzo’s clam bar in Sheepshead Bay and if you want good soul food head over to Vera’s on Sutter ave. This place shouldn’t even be in business no more.

Keep getting text messages every week to support this place, so I decided to do it today but never again. I try using their website but I can't order the food bowl because I'm required to exclude one item for me to add the item. So I ended up using Uber eats to place the order for pickup. Order the chicken bowl with extra shrimp.... I only get shrimp ☹
