“ Here comes fighting words: this place has the best chowder on the wharf. If you like yours chunky with good quality/quantity clam meat, then get yours here. I've tried nearly all the clam chowders up and down this place and I dub Crab House my winner. They have a decent kids menu. Good meatballs marinara spaghetti for my boys. Goat cheese, beets and arugula salad is perfect for me. I loved it. I'm just gonna straight up call Crab House my fav pick over all. ”
“ Excellent service. Thanks Hayden! Delicious dinner. Great cocktails! Lovely view! Definitely enjoyed! Must try! Thanks ”
“ Went to the crab house with two friends of mine last night and it was fantastic. I would 10/10 recommend. Our server was Hayden. My friends ordered the fettuccini with prawns and the filet and I got the sand dab (which all tasted great). The margarita that I got, I think it was a mixture with guava, was fantastic as well. Besides the people who sat next to us (who forgot that they had kids for a good 10 minutes), everything was great. Thanks for a great time! ”
“ This and Crabby Jim's are the best places to eat on the wharf. The clam chowder us the best you'll find. Some pics from this year's pilgrimage. I had the chowder and the scrumptious crab meat cocktail, a huge hunk of crab. ”
“ Priya our server was amazing! Very sweet and catering to us! Made pur experience 100% better Food was amazing too. ”
“ Our host was very welcoming, and sat us right away. And Maddy our server was super nice, and made us feel very comfortable. The place itself is pretty cool, sits next to the pier where the whale tours dock. Since we have been here before, I ordered their crab cake, even though it's an app, it is quite filling. Besides I don't eat much so if you need bigger portions, do as we do, order more and share. The only negative was the fish and chips my wife ordered had one strip that was weirdly dry. Plus, I didn't really like the breading. ”
“ This is only on the All Day Happy Hour. Sat at the bar and enjoyed a couple different libations. It was pretty good so I had to come back. ”
