Crabby Shack (the) - Brooklyn

We ordered two crab rolls, one with bacon, mayo, garlic butter, and coleslaw, and the other with avocado, tomato, cucumber, and garlic butter. However, when we opened the bag, they were just plain crab rolls. Despite this, the crab rolls were still really good. We were just disappointed because the toppings we chose could have elevated it to the next level. Overall, we rate the food 4 out of 5.

We were excited to finally try this place, and it left me highly disappointed... I ordered the crab and shrimp platter, which tasted sour as if something was spoiled, same with the mac and cheese... The chicken sandwich was chewy and rubbery... it was all so bad we ended up throwing the food away after informing the young lady of our concerns it was suggested to just throw it away, she did offer a new plate but at that time the damage was done and was already turned off and felt sick.... we were informed that the policy was no refunds in the store. We must contact the owners via email for a refund... we have contacted them multiple times since our visit with no response... waste of money and time

The seafood is pretty decent. The fried whiting comes with two slices of bread and some garden greens. I requested tartar sauce but that didn’t make the trip. Could be the fact that the delivery guy dropped the order before handing it off in a torn paper bag. The crab blt was excellent! Eat everything fresh when you get it. Any reheating will not generate the same experience from the original time you got your food. The fish was good and the crab tastes fresh. I would try it again.

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!

This is a staple in Brooklyn. Black-owned, clean, friendly, professional, and all-around excellent service. They have the right-sized menu with nuanced variety. The Crabby Shack is one of favorite places in Brooklyn and beyond. Sometimes, I'll just stop by to say hi!
