It’s a foggy warm Sunday and the claws was open and I fell into there trap…. For starters the calamari was hot and flavorful and the fried snapper and shrimp was delicious but the Bairdi crab was so good I see why Alaska fishermen love them. All this couldn’t be done without our sever ALO, she is smooth and knows the menu and can answer all your questions.She even hooked me up with a Togo drink without even asking. Now that’s good service. In all seriousness definitely swing by the Crab Trap and get Trap like I did!!! lol

I was really skeptical about this place BUT I was impressed by how delicious the crab was! The crab I had was from the waters of Alaska and Russia and if you think king crab is big then come on here and see their HUGE crab! 🦀 that isn’t king crab! And is worth the price!!! The potato’s were cooked perfectly and the corn was sweet! I also had the shrimp and crab dip! It was full of flavor! The alcohol selection was great and Our waiter Phillip was so kind and was very very helpful answering any and all our questions! He was funny kind knowledgeable and was just making the atmosphere one to come back and visit! We will be coming back! Ask for Phillip! He will for sure take care of you!

We arrived and it looked empty but were told it would be a 30 minute wait, we didn’t make a reservation because it said “no reservations” online. We watched multiple parties come in and be seated which was strange but we still waited…after about 35 minutes we were seated at a table that had been open the entire time and immediately after that a party of 14 was seated which was double the size of our party. We started looking over the menu and noticed the menu online that we looked at while waiting didn’t match their physical menu and when we asked about it we were told they remove those specials due to the holiday specials.. so we decided to leave after seeing chicken strips priced at $25. I can’t rate the food because we didn’t eat here because of all of this but in my opinion it’s your

Love this restaurant because the food is great! When you look at the menu its hard to choose what to order because everything is so good! The seafood is fresh and sweet. That's the reason my family and I come. The service is good too! The atmosphere is cool because it's wide open to the beach. It is my opinion that there is a since of calmness and relaxation by watching the beach and beach goers. The Crab Trap is a must try. Enjoy it all!!!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Judy Kim · Dec 2025

Some of the dishes were a bit saltier than we expected, and the crab flavor lingered slightly for our taste. However, the atmosphere and the warm, friendly service truly stood out and made the experience enjoyable overall. We had a nice time and would be happy to return to try other dishes next time.
