Robin YoungAugust 31, 2015Everything here is so good! If you're looking for a good seafood place I highly recommend Crab Trap, but expect an extremely long wait during dinner time in the summer. It's worth it though!
Chris TuckerApril 21, 2017Some of the best seafood down the shore. You get a good portion in relation to price. In the summer time you may have to wait awhile , but well worth it. They have an awesome bar area outside.
KaitlinJuly 26, 2013You will wait to sit down in the summer but it is worth it. Grab a drink at crabby jacks until your buzzer goes off. Make sure you try the soups, prime rib, or crab cakes. Homemade bread and muffins!
Brian ClancyJuly 11, 2016I have eaten at a lot of places, and this was the best family meal I've had in years. Clams Casino, Manhattan Clam Chowder, Prime Rib, Banana Creme Pie. Great value!!!
Debbie PierceApril 5, 2016The crispy crab cakes are the best I've ever had! Order the Bloody Mary with extra tomato juice on the side and mix with the fresh horse radish on the table :)
G TNovember 29, 2019Great seafood restaurant In Somers Point. Great Happy hour specials. Blackened Scallops for 5$ awesome!!!!!
Ron BrowmOctober 6, 2017They have the best crab cakes I have ever tasted! This place is very business in summer but it's easier to get a table in the off season.
Marcy PrzMay 3, 2015Bisque and stuffed onion rings are great starters. The crab cakes aren't worth it. Mushy, breaded and deep fried. Wish they had a lump and broiled option.
Kim WingMay 4, 2015OMG! If you have not tried the clams casino here, you dont know what your missing! I order two servings as my main course. Everything is so delicious though!
Ashok GunasekaranJuly 21, 2022Casino clams were amazing. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Ample parking available and reasonably priced.
Michelle SFebruary 15, 2023Crab soup and chocolate mousse were out of this world! Did not care for the entrees.
- Best soup in South Jersey: Crab Bisque. You don't know what you are missing until you try it!
Kelly PingNovember 20, 2021It's the best seafood in town crab soft shells when in season are the best
Kathy GreeneJuly 22, 2013The best lobster risotto with scallops! Also the best crab cakes! A must for any seafood lover.
stephen harrisJuly 24, 2013Very good food. Very slow service. nd to think it was only a Tuesday. Also if you order their delicious 18 steamed clam appy. A few empty shells. Nd one non open They should have spotted that
Everything 's good here, best clams casino, today's appetizers was coconut shrimp, awesome
Justin MarksSeptember 28, 2014Loooong wait, ok service. Lobster is great, but how do you mess up steam lobster? Mussels in spicy marinara also pretty good, as are clams casino.
We come here all the time because the food is great but literally every host and most waiters are absolutely horrible.
Crab imperial on English muffins with 2/sides very delicious .
Tammy CSeptember 18, 2012Awesome chicken carbonara, Caesar salad and mozzarella sticks. All-around amazing food!
Ryan LoperJanuary 2, 2011Good food, had a great time for New Years Eve. Average age of the patrons is 75 but overall a good time. Ask for Joe as your server, he is the best.
Matthew HartsoughApril 15, 2016Big with the old folks, most of their seafood is fried. I'd rather wait in line at Smittys than way here.
Matt RobinsonNovember 12, 2011Get a drink while you inevitably wait. Cocktails are large, and (relatively) cheap.
Dena BrownAugust 11, 2013Longest wait ever. 2+ hours before we had our dinner. Good food but don't go unless you have tons of time on your hands
