" The decor and upbeat vibe made for enjoyable dining. I had the combo plate that came with a variety of seafood items seasoned just right. The staff was friendly and attentive. Will be my spot for seafood whenever I’m in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" Nice little seafood spot. The fried shrimp basket was good, but I wish the batter weren't so heavy. The service was friendly, but a bit slow at times. I’d say it’s worth a visit, but I recommend sticking to their boil options for the best experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes based on the reviews but honestly, I was underwhelmed. The flavors were good but not as authentic as I expected. My shrimp was overcooked, but the service was acceptable. I'll give it another try, hoping for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What a hidden gem! The atmosphere was so welcoming, and the seafood boil was genuinely some of the best I've had outside of Louisiana. We tried the spicy option, and it delivered! The portions were ample, and we left completely satisfied. Service was attentive. Will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for authentic seafood, Surfing Crab nails it. The king crab legs were a highlight for me, cooked to perfection and seasoned beautifully. The atmosphere has a fun vibe, and the staff was beyond attentive. I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

Archived Reviews (877)

" My experience was a bit mixed. The food was good, especially the calamari, but I felt the service lagged. We waited a while for drinks, and the waiter only checked on us once throughout our meal. I might give it another shot, but I want to see improvements in service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the surf and turf burger, but it was a flop. The crab wasn't fresh and the flavors were bland. Thankfully, my friend enjoyed her crab boil. Overall, I might return for the crab boil but will steer clear of burgers here. " (*Curated Review*)
