Crab Shell

The chowder is very good here but the stir fry was average. There wasn’t enough seafood in it for my taste. Prices were reasonable and service was good.

Forget the other reviews—just focus on mine 😄 We had a great lunch experience here. Everything went smoothly… well, except the weather. It was pouring, so we sat inside, but that worked out just fine. There was quiet jazz playing, and it was peaceful enough to actually hear each other talk—rare and appreciated. The staff? Top-notch. From the hostess to our server Olga (shoutout!), and even the busboy—they struck that perfect balance of being attentive without hovering. Pro move. Outdoor seating looked beautiful, but again, rain. No biggie. Inside was cozy with a lovely harbor view. Now the food—wow. Incredible specials, huge portions, and the prices? Very fair, especially for seafood. I had a giant sautéed crab sandwich with fries and slaw for about $26. That’s a steal. Olga was absolutely terrific—bilingual, warm, and patient. She handled my 93-year-old dad (who’s got some… let’s call them “senior personality quirks”) like a total pro. Bottom line: I’d come back in a heartbeat. If it fit our budget, I’d be here every Friday night. Highly recommend.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Atmosphere,drinks and outside seating was the reason I decided to give crab-shell a try. The food was the reason for review crabmeat stuffed sole was perfection. I would recommend and come back.

This is a casual dining seafood restaurant. The food is good, and the atmosphere is friendly. It’s located at a lovely pier.
