A great find, I read the article on Google, and it was worth the drive. Maggie is a great server, friendly, and very kind.... Maggie recommended Frans Bucket, lobster, muscle, clams, corn, and red skins. We also had the hand dipped coconut shrimp, andkeylime pie for dessert. The owner stopped by our table, greeted us and continued to ensure our visit was perfect. Read more
Very delicious Shrimp Alfredo. Salad was good. Blue Cheese Dressing was a bit watery and did not taste like blue cheese to me.... Wait staff was attentive and good. Lots of other good things on menu. Read more
Very good shrimp cocktail, oysters, classic, mussels ,clam chowder and lobster fest!
I was recently hired to photograph a few of O'Brien's dishes. I also had an opportunity to enjoy the Michigan salmon salad,... shrimp cocktail, blackened salmon alfredo, fried green tomatoes and seafood diablo. All the dishes were so delicious. Whatstood out for me was the blackened salmon alfredo. I have had a lot of different salmon dishes but this one just puts thecomfort into food. Paired with a good white wine, I was in heaven! I go to a lot of restaurants in the greater Detroit area. Over 200 in just the last year! This place is a classic. I like the warm and fuzzy and nautical feeling of the restaurant.Perhaps because I am a boater and enjoy good seafood. The bar is top notch and clean and the owner Dan is a genuinely nice, hasa great sense of humor and is passionate about the dishes he serves. He is going on 31 years in business and has a real loyalfollowing. I will be one of them. The staff is very friendly too. If you had not tried this place, then I would highly recommendyou do. And I know you will be back! I had recently went back and tasted more of the dishes and added new ones. This placeought to be featured on Triple D! I highly recommend O'Brien's Crabhouse. This place is a gem! Read more
We had the king crab legs and scallops. DELICIOUS! Cost of crab has gone up a lot so we split one order which was 1.5 lbs of... crab legs. Great atmosphere and service. There was a long wait but we got lucky and found seats at the bar. Awesome place ! Read more
So my buddy bought a new house, and I came out to see it for the first time. He didn't have any furniture or anything, so we... decided to got eat at O'Brien's Crabhouse My buddy went to high school with the owner. When we pulled up, I noticed that it wasin a strip mall, and I have to admit I was like, what in trailer park hell have you brought me to. But I am with my pal Goodman,and he has never let me down with a good meal. I got the Half and delicious Half soup, and we ordered Shrimp side dishes thatwere amazing. LOL, I am at a seafood place, but Goodman told me that one of his friends always orders the ribs, so I went withthat. I will say that again seafood place they were not the best ribs. But they were pretty good. This place is a decent spot toeat. Read more
We had a good meal. We started with the Fried Green Tomatoes. Being a southern gal, I have eaten a lot of this in my life. ... They were really good. Any time I've ordered this dish at different restaurants they were always greasy. Not so this time. Myhusband ordered Frog Legs. I am not terribly adventurous with food, but I tried them. I was surprised. The texture and flavorwere much more delicate than I was expecting. I ordered Crab Cakes, also good. I chose red skin potatoes as my side. Theywere just boiled (which the server told me when I ordered), so they just needed some butter, salt and pepper. Our server wasreally nice and tolerated me in a chatty mood :-). I also have no complaints with the atmosphere. All good. Read more
