    Alright, listen. This is a temple to the simplistic beauty that is shellfish. It's juicy, perfectly presented goodness. Not to mention the friendliest crab spot in Brooklyn. No jerks allowed.

    This is my 3 time going and its was a nice amt of folks there. I enjoyed the tacos the most but my lobster roll was very good. The cornbread is too sweet, ol fashion cornbread is all I wanted

    Soulful seafood spot. The food is amazing. I recommend the crab tacos, crobster roll & 1/2 lb spicy steamed shrimp. So tasteful. Not good for crowds, since there aren’t many seats.

    Hands down the Crab Roll w/ warm garlic butter is the best! Soft. Seasoned. Delicious. $12

    So friendly! Try the pear lemonade. The crab roll overflows with sweet, buttery goodness. Fun, creative sodas by Joia and Found are nice. Crab leg platter is also a treat.

    The crab tacos are so so but I highly recommend the crab roll and cornbread! The Chesapeake crab chips are also tasty.

    Crab BLT with avocado is what dreams are made of. Gotta make sure you get the pound of Alaskan snow crab too. The legs are seasoned to perfection!

    Crab roll, chips and a beer is the ideal summer lunch. Staff/owners here are great too.

    Nothing fried; they only steam and bake. So that delicious crab roll tastes like the beach, only without the heart-stopping grease! Win-win!

    Garbage/recycling sorting bins are farce and lie. All lined with black trash bags,so there's no recycling. Crab rolls are tasty, but amount of food for the price is quite small. Beer is way overpriced

    Had the crab Mac n cheese, the worst, over cooked and dry. Crab cakes same thing, over cooked and dried out. Best thing was crab roll.
