Reviews for Crafty crab in Abington, PA
Since there is no provision for ?no stars,? I was forced to rate this travesty of a ?seafood restaurant? one star. Where to... start? We were seated quickly by a polite waitress, who delivered good service throughout our meal. Unfortunately, the food weordered was very sub-par! The items our group ordered were the lobster tail boil with butter garlic sauce, the black mussels inbutter garlic sauce and the boiled scallops with sweet potato fries. Our drinks came out first, with the beer we ordered servedwarm. Not a good start. Our meals came out in about twenty minutes. The lobster boil and mussels were served in a large plasticbag on a round plate. The bags were hugely inflated, reminding me of Jiffy Pop popcorn. The waitress opened the bags to deflatethem and served them, along with the scallop order. All of the food was cool, not hot as it should have been. I wish that wasthe worst of it, but it wasn?t! The taste of the mussels, in a ?butter garlic? sauce was awful. This is not like any buttergarlic I?ve ever seen or tasted. The sauce was orange in color, and very spicy. It seemed more like an Old Bay sauce. The saucein both the lobster and mussel dishes overpowered the seafood. Boiled red potatoes served in the bag were hard and tasteless,aside from the horrible sauce. The scallops were the only bright spot in a mundane meal. They were plump and good tasting, butagain, sprinkled with Old Bay that was not expected. Our group also decided that there wasn?t any real cooking going on in thekitchen. Everything served seemed to be microwaved. The prices were not overly high, but not for the quality of the food we wereserved. I?ve saved the best part for last. Six hours after eating this meal, I began to have stomach pains and severe diarrhea:( I don?t mean to gross anyone out, but I?m still sick after twelve hours of this. My recommendation? Buyer beware!! Read more
Had a good experience. I arrived shortly after opening. The service was on point, very attentive. The food was hot and fresh.... But I did not like that a guy was mopping floors as we were being seated. Mop before you open your door to customers. Now thesmell of bleach is mixing with the smell of seafood and I have to walk all the way around to go to the restroom because thefloors are wet. Read more

The food was nothing to talk about it was like someone trying their best 3/5. The staff was lovely, but I had to tell them to... change out the hardcore down south gangster rap playing. The bathroom had old nobs that you have to touch to turn-off and nopaper towels. So go figure the chief touching the door etc and some people don?t wash after the using the bathroom. Read more
It?s a Chinese restaurant quality seafood. Calamari was chewy and came with a processed container of sauce. Scallops were tiny... and kind of embarrassing when they came out on the plate. I think the pieces of garlic on the scallops were bigger than thescallops. The clam chowder could have come out of a can. You would expect fresh seafood for this type of place but it did notdeliver.

While the service was okay and we were seated pretty quickly, we were disappointed with the food. The appetizers: crab cakes... were full of filler and cooked hard, the calamari didn't seem fresh. I didn't finish either one. We ordered the snow crab andshrimp boil. The shrimp were good, the sauce was good but the crab was mushy inside. It was difficult to get the meat out. Wewere looking forward to having some delicious seafood, so needless to say it was a below average experience. Read more
Everything I had was so good and tasty. It was the Fresh raw oysters for me and the spicy butter garlic sauce everything was... soaking in, yummmmmy. The service wasn't bad and it didn't take all night for the food to come. A little on the expensive sidebut I would say it was worth it. Read more
