Two of my besties bragged about this place to me and I said on my next day off I was going to venture out to see what all the fuss was about Well, I was pleasantly surprised, and equally impressed. Now it's kind of a hole in the wall, but in a very good way. I was warmly greeted by customers coming out as I was walking in. I was greeted with a big smile and I felt very welcomed. I was immediately ushered to a two-seater table by the window, and charmed with my favorite starter beverage "unsweetened iced tea w/lemon (which btw was very well brewed). Crabby's is a pretty diverse and inclusive environment, meaning no one seemed judgy. I ordered six large crabs, fries and slaw. The crabs were amazing! They were very well seasoned but not overwhelmingly spicy or anything like that, just plain old good. My fries were fresh cut nothing from a frozen bag, and the coleslaw was homemade (Yum). I went in on everything ha ha. I didn't have time to fight with the claws, so I broke him off and set them to the side which they gave me a box at the end to carry them home for round two later on. If what I experienced today is the norm for this place, I will be back again and again. I am already bragging about it to other friends so I'm sure I won't be alone next time, but the type of person I am, I don't wait for anyone whether I'm with friends or alone I will be back! Thank you so much for all of your kindness, delicious good quality offerings, and for being such a diverse place that welcomes all. See you again soon. Crabby's..So Worth the drive

Great food and service! Incredibly large portions! You won't leave hungry or disappointed! Exceptional service by old school waitresses who are on the ball and don't miss a beat! Fresh seafood doesn't get much better than this! Loved the comfortable and friendly atmosphere!

This food is delicious. Can't go wrong with seafood. But if your in the jersey shore area. I suggest stopping in. Drinks are made delicious and you taste what you order actually. The food does the talking. Never a meal not succulent. Melts in you mouth. The flavors and taste are to die for.

If you love crabs and haven't been to Crabbys, what are you waiting for? We started off with crab soup. It was so good I almost forgot to take a picture. That's why the cup is half gone. So good. A dozen steamef little neck clams were next. Also tender and delicious. four large crabs were next yum. The order of aoli crab fries was so good. Dessert started before I could snap a picture. It was a dish loaded with sweet strawberries, a large scoop of sour cream, and brown sugar to roll the sour cream coated berries into. It's also amazing. Highly recommend . All three of us enjoyed a great meal.

My first authentic crab experience since moving to New Jersey. Today was their first opening day of the season and I will definitely be going back there often. Great food, great service, and just a really nice place.

This is my favorite seafood spot. First off, I've been coming here for over 25 years, and I've been here plenty of times, this is my first actual review. Truth is this is the best place at the shore to find fresh seafood cooked to order, depending on when you stop in, you may find an AYCE special, this past Sunday was Blue Claws, it always changes, as sometimes it's Snow Crab as I've seen in the off-season. I tend to always stick with my favorites, for me it's the Littleneck steamers to start and a 1.5 lb of Dungeness crabs and dirty fries. I also recommend that make sure to ask your waitress about the Dollar Bills that are tacked to the ceiling and you'll understand why there are so many of them up there, as they always pay it forward here. Definitely, worth the visit and it's easy to see why this place is a favorite.

I had an absolute wonderful experience at Crabby’s over Memorial Day weekend! I’m still dreaming about the mouth watering dungeons crab legs I enjoyed as well as our steamed shrimp and little necks. Our waitress Sue made sure our every need was meet. Drinks were always full and shell bucket always re-emptied! Can’t wait to get back there again!

Aaahhhhmazing as ALWAYS!! (And I mean ALWAYS!!) Food is bomb, service is top notch and the atmosphere is dope. Very relaxed, fun "at home" kinda vibe. Those ladies in theeeeere...lemme tell ya somethin - they know how to hustle and they get s*it done, all with a smiling face and positive attitude. We were celebrating hubby's birthday and when they came out to sing, they encouraged the entire place to join in! Before ya knew it, the whole joint was singing loud as hell - hubby's face was red as a tomato!!! Such a fun birthday song experience!!! By far the best seafood in the area, (all you can eat nights are our fave), with top tier service! Love your face, Crabby's I will be back soon!!!!
