When you walk in, you see a big bar, and gorgeous tables (until you see that all their materials like toilet paper, paper cups, paper towels, and boxes are right next to the tables, and visible to everyone). Then they ask you if you will be eating crab which was confusing, but then they bring you a bucket with hammers, knives and forks. And this was my first time eating here (and eating crab in general).

The food came extremely quickly. The sauces tasted great and went really well with the food. It looked so well, I forgot to take photos before starting to eat! And they even keep you updated for when the rest of the food is coming. Once the crabs came, they tell you how to break them open, how to do everything and what you can and can’t eat. Afterwards, I even kept the shell of a crab as a souvenir. Delicious and fun experience.

Well we were supposed to be at the Surfing Crab for all you can eat crabs as we have done many times before for up to 3 hours ( they claim to have a 2 hour time limit). We got there around 630. Didn’t get our first tray of crabs til 640-645 (it’s now 845 as I’m posting this driving away). At 825 ish I asked for more crabs, the waitress thought I was joking according to her, so when she came back with the check and I asked where my crabs were, she said “I thought you were joking.” She went to get more crabs but came back and said “they said you are over your time limit. Meanwhile the owner is getting drunk behind the bar and could care less. I used to think this was a cool place to go….i will never go there again.

Wow, this place has all you can eat blue crabs. For about $69, you can have as much steam crabs as you can eat! What a deal, and they are not small size. Just look at the picture.

If you are in the area, you have to check this place out! I can’t remember his name, but ask for the server that claimed that he looks like Daniel Craig! (But, I thought that he looks more like Sean Penn.) He is the best!
