go for the experience, not necessarily for the food. decided to give this spot a thumbs up because it is an unusual restaurant. there are plenty of things to see and do before and after dinning. this spot is not for seafood lovers as the seafood is way overcooked and not the highest quality. that said, the platters of food are plentiful and not all that expensive. this place is not for the festidious as the cleaning standards are more than a bit lax. tables, menus etc are rather greasy (the bathrooms could use agoodcleaning). and that grease is not butter, a great big no no in my books. the crab shack is very busy so it's quite popular. i'm glad we went, will not be back, but it was a nice experience. the seafood lover and clean freak in me make a return most unlikely.
