Customer Reviews
Apple's place is always 5 stars! I've been coming here for years and it's never been a miss! Her business is has been growing so much and the service is still great. The crabs are huge! And I had the stuffed lobster, *chefs kiss* it was great. Apples special garlic butter is still some of the best to this day! Thanks for a great experience! Oh did I mention the outside area was so nice and soothing. A overall great place to eat, and enjoy your family!
How can you miss this most famous spot for seafood? Cook your seafood right off the boat! Their garlic butter 🧈tastes fantastic. Blue crab, lobster, green mussels ,large shrimp and many more to choose from. The 🍤is so fresh 😍it's sweet and the shell is crispy and very thin you can eat it as a whole. It's nice to spend a whole afternoon with friends under the big 🌳. We talked, cracked some crabs and drank together. It definitely brings happiness to me evey time I visit. Crabs are so meaty you only see the meat when you open them.
Ms. Apples Crab Shack is a spot that I frequent with friends and family. We drive up from Miami to get some great seafood by the bay, normally picking live blue crabs for them to steam, as well as a couple pounds of shrimp and other goodies like mussels and their delicious butter. All in all, it's a wonderful spot to take friends and family for a relaxed seafood adventure! Here, you can pick from prepared meals sold at a fixed price that you can then microwave onsite or take home to enjoy later, or have them cook fresh seafood depending on what's available that day. It's best to call ahead for availability, especially for their popular blue crabs. It's also definitely to your advantage to arrive there earlier in the day to avoid possible crowds! All of the seating is outdoors on picnic t
This is NOT a restaurant - just be aware of that going in. It is more of a seafood market where you can eat if you choose to. We went with family on a Saturday night. It was incredibly busy and that wouldn't have been so bad but there was little to no organization of the customers when it came to placing orders. No line, no real order and people were getting impatient and frustrated. The seating areas are nice and have brown paper to lay out on your tables as well as little hammers built into the tables to help you crack crab legs and such. We got the shrimp and they were good if you don't mind peeling your own reheated shrimp. If you're from New York and miss the salty, no-nonsense, take it or leave it kind of customer service, this place is for you. Desserts were tasty, as was the co
There's a wait but it's worth it! This place gets busy, you pick live blue crabs and fresh shrimp and they cook it to your liking. You can have blue crab whole, cleaned, season them mild or spicy. Shrimp is fresh/frozen can be with head or no head, with garlic and butter or plain. They also offer other items such as clams, lobster, snow crab ect. And some dishes precooked ready to heat. Honestly it's a little hectic but they serve delicious food! Definitely recommend!! A little tip you can bring your own side dishes and drinks and eat there.
