I visited this restaurant for lunch recently on a whim because I remembered they used to offer bay scallops, which are hard to find at many places. We didn’t realize until we got there that the restaurant had changed ownership, but since we were already seated, we decided to make the best of it. The menu featured a mix of seafood and some Asian dishes (no bay scallops, of course), and nothing really stood out as appealing.
There was a good lunch special advertised on a board outside, but when we sat down, we were given the regular menu instead of the lunch special menu. Apparently, you have to ask for that! I overheard another table mentioning they were out of crab (I think), and the waitr...
I had a disappointing experience at the restaurant due to the behavior of the waitress, Kerry. When I inquired about Chablis wine, she rudely insisted that the restaurant has never offered it, despite my clear memory of ordering it there multiple times. I even tried to inform her that Chablis is a type of white wine, but she dismissed my correction with an attitude, stating that I was wrong. To avoid further unpleasantness in the nearly empty restaurant, I decided to stop engaging with her.
My family and I have been loyal customers for over eight years, and we have certainly enjoyed Chablis in the past, even ordering it by the carafe. However, after our interaction with Kerry, we chose to o...
Outside, they advertised a decent lunch special, but when we were seated, we were given the regular menu instead of the special one. We had to specifically ask for the lunch menu. I also overheard another table being told they were out of crab, and the waitress suggested lobster as an alternative.
Our server was not very attentive. When we asked about the dessert options included with the lunch special, she simply said we would have to wait and see.
I chose the General Tso's chicken, which was crispy but extremely dry—mostly just breading with little sauce. The New England clam chowder was more like a thin potato soup. The only dish that was somewhat enjoyable was the fried shrimp....
My family and I have been loyal customers of Crabshack for over eight years, and I know for a fact that they have served Chablis before, even in a carafe. However, due to Kerry’s attitude that evening, we ended up ordering less food and drink than we normally would. To make matters worse, while I was in the bathroom, Kerry approached my family and insisted that the restaurant has never served Chablis. It felt sneaky for her to say this while I wasn’t there.
It was Kerry’s behavior that prompted me to write this review; otherwise, I would have let it go. Sadly, I don’t see myself coming back to Crabshack again. A once-loyal customer is now lost.

Came here after jet skiing close by. Knew the original place since I grew up in Freeport but was under new ownership. All had the $19.95 prixe fixe menu and the dishes were really good. Fried shrimp (5 big shrimp) crisp and tasty with crisp fries, appetizer small New England clam chowder that wasn't too salty and tiramasu for dessert that was probably store bought but good. Another had seafood boil which had lots of clams, mussels, shrimp, corn and potatoes. Others had shrimp scampi over pasta that was flavorful and plentiful. Overall, good food at at a very good price.
I had lunch here on a Monday, and it wasn't too crowded. The food prices were reasonable for a location in the pricey Nautical Mile. The service was excellent, although the food could have been served a bit warmer. It would be helpful if the menu provided more details, especially since the scallops were quite small. There's outdoor seating in the back, and they also offer free parking in the same area. Overall, I will definitely be returning. I also wanted to mention that they have cocktails available as well.
Went here today and the food was delicious. The waitress was very nice and friendly. The food was prepared very quick, temperature was just right. The drinks were on the money. I will definitely be going back.
They offer fantastic specials at reasonable prices. I had the soft shell crabs and a baked potato. The crabs were cooked to a perfect golden brown and were absolutely delicious.

I had a fantastic day with my dad as we shared lunch together. The waitress was incredibly friendly, and we both really enjoyed the soft shell crabs; they were cooked perfectly!
Tasted like I was eating water. Absolutely NO FLAVOR!!! We ordered broiled snapper and King crab legs. Our waitress was friendly and drinks were spot on.
