The Crabby Shack: Seafood with Soul in Brooklyn

Ordered crab legs and chicken bites via UberEats. I haven't ordered from this place in years and the quality and taste of the food is better than I even imagined. Highly recommend. Best crab legs I've had in years. Looking forward to my next order.

I haven't personally gone to the actual location, but the place looks super cute per the images. I recently got to try their Crab and Clam Chowder. I am a chowder lover and so I was excited to try their version. This is the first time I have tried crab chowder made out of snow crab and it works. The chowder has nice deep flavours and I don't like celery, but this would be the only way for me to eat celery. Cook it down, so I can't detect any celery taste. My only thing is I am partial to chowder that are thicker consistency, their version wasn't watery, but it was in between and just wanted to point that out in case other people were expecting the same thing as me. This is a small business and AAPI/Black Owned - support them by keeping this business afloat. I only come across one of the owner and she is super sweet and nice.

Wow, this restaurant was truly delightful. The conversation with the woman who served us at the register, to the music, to the food options, to the seasoning, to the casual vibe and the DRINKS. It was truly an experience that I would like to have again. I ordered the chicken mac & cheese bowl with collard greens and the lobster chowder (soooo good). It had seasoned rice at the bottom that I ate the next day and it was so delicious. I opted for my sauce to be on the side, which added a nice touch. My boyfriend and I got the black current lemonade with tequila and had to go for another serving because it was so good. My boyfriend got the crab mac & cheese, which was delicious and wonderfully seasoned with a side of fries which we enjoyed. I love the aesthetics of the restaurant and the bathroom. It kind of has a seaside feel that's family friendly and great for spending time with friends and your loved ones. It's kind of tight so i would say make flexible plans if you're coming with a group

I saw the Crabby Shack on Instagram a few days ago, and I immediately decided I was coming here ASAP. It's labeled as Seafood With Soul, and it truly lives up to it. The small restaurant is run by 2 Black women and a very hard-working staff. When we arrived there was ample seating, but on a busy day, I could see how tight it would be. I ordered the crab grilled cheese with a side of collard greens, and I loved how packed it was crab and how the cheese was perfectly melted and pulled apart. The seasoning and flavors were spot on, it was a generous size, and the spicy butter elevated it to another level. The collard greens were delicious as well. My girlfriend ordered the soul bowl, which came with chicken, collard greens, white rice, and mac and cheese. She enjoyed it as well, as the bowl was packed to the brim and everything blended well together. For drinks, we ordered the fresh squeezed lemonade with a shot of tequila in each. We enjoyed them so much that we ordered another 2 drinks to take on the go. I hope this business stays around for a long time because it's such a unique experience to dine here.

A Black Women owned seafood restaurant?! Yess please! I've been coming here for a few years now whenever I'm craving good seafood. I've tried just about everything on the menu and it's all good. My current obsessions are fried salmon bites and the crab and corn chowder soup. One of the owners put me on to the soup and I'm soo glad she did. In addition to food, they also have a small bar for cocktails and a few machines for frozen drinks. They also sell their own hot sauces, a Lemon Pepper and a Hottie Sauce. They Hottie sauce is so good that I got two bottles during my last visit. If you love seafood and want to support a Black Women owned business, then add this place to your list!

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 Food!! Great Service!! Better Ambiance!! LOVE the Clobster Roll (1/2 Lobster 1/2 crab) with Garlic butter absolutely DELISH. Crab & Corn Chowder was perfectly seasoned meatey and delightful. Frozen drinks were a bonus. Piña Colada & Margatita on point. Overall We Shack !

Came on a rainy Saturday night. Food was fresh, hot and delicious. The clobster roll is to die for! Can't believe I haven't been here in over a year. I'll be back soon for sure. Waiter at the cashier was patient as I was indecisive. Beautiful decor and great music. Also had a lemonade which was delicious!

Bae and I stopped in for a late lunch before grocery shopping so we wouldn't buy everything in sight. The crabby Shack has a good variety of seafood items from sandwiches to tacos and frozen alcohol slushies. We ordered three shrimp tacos and a lobster roll. As well as the mango lemonade. Overall, it was alright. The shrimp on the shrimp tacos wasn't flavored in any way and the spicy mayo came on the side rather than on the tortilla like a traditional shrimp taco. The lobster roll was fairly tasty but if we hadn't ordered the garlic butter to dip it in, would have lacked flavor as well. I might come back here but at $30 for a lobster roll it's pretty pricey compared to other lobster Brooklyn spots.
