We opted for the medium spice level, and it turned out to be just right—perfectly spicy and absolutely delicious. The sauce was so good that I almost wanted to drink it. I appreciated that each item in the boil was offered a la carte, so we could customize it to our preferences and avoid anything we didn't want. The prices were surprisingly low, and we used a Groupon without any issues; the staff was friendly and didn’t seem bothered, which can happen at other places. I will definitely be returning and wouldn't hesitate to pay full price next time.

I order because it is a true lobster roll just large chunks of lobster on a roll with drawn butter. Some people say that this is really a Connecticut lobster roll. I don't know. I've had lobster rolls like this, and I've also had them when the roll was mixed with mayonnaise, celery and other things similar to chicken salad or tuna salad. I much prefer it this way. with just drawn butter on a bun/roll. Crabulous doesn't skimp either. All of the lobster rolls I've ordered are heaping with fresh lobster meat. It comes with cole slaw and french fries. I am thankful to have a restaurant that offers this so close to me. I think the price is very reasonable for what you get.

It's a fantastic place for large groups. Don't forget, you can bring your own liquor! If you want to avoid the crowds, come on Sundays. The prices are very reasonable, and I'm not sure how they manage to stay in business, but we will definitely be coming back with the family!

I ordered the cod fish and chips for $16, but was disappointed to receive only one piece of cod, which was about 1/4 inch thick and 3 1/2 inches long. It arrived cold, dry, overcooked, and hard—definitely not appetizing. The fries were fine, but I was shocked that they served such a poor quality dish. When you order fish, you expect a decent portion that's hot, moist, flaky, and flavorful, but I received none of that. Based on this, I won’t be returning.

She did disclose after our meal that the chef was new. Unfortunately, I would really love to give this place more stars but the only thing that I enjoyed was the crab cake appetizer. I ordered the seafood boil with mussels and shrimp but the seafood was extremely over cooked.
