Reviews for CrabShack in Freeport, NY
Came here for lunch recently on a whim because they used to have bay scallops which not many places make. We did not realize... they had changed owners but figured we were already seated we would try to make the best of it. The menu was some seafood someasian (no bay scallops) and nothing on the menu was exciting. They had a decent deal of a lunch special written on a boardoutside but when you sit down they only give you a regular menu not the menu with the lunch special. You have to ask for that? Ialso heard from another table that they were out of crab (I think) and of course the waitress was like how about lobster?. Thewaitress was not that great. We tried to ask her what dessert options came with the lunch special and she was like you have towait and see. Ended up trying the general tso's chicken and it was crispy but super dry. It was all breading and not enoughsauce just terrible. The New England clam chowder was more like a watery potato soup. The only thing anyone was somewhat happywith was the fried shrimp. Dessert ended up being ice cream or tiramisù. Got the tiramisù which I don't even really like but Ididn't feel like ice cream so I won't comment on whether it was a good version or not. No interest in returning here. Read more

Came here after jet skiing close by. Knew the original place since I grew up in Freeport but was under new ownership. All had... the $19.95 prixe fixe menu and the dishes were really good. Fried shrimp (5 big shrimp) crisp and tasty with crisp fries,appetizer small New England clam chowder that wasn't too salty and tiramasu for dessert that was probably store bought but good. Another had seafood boil which had lots of clams, mussels, shrimp, corn and potatoes. Others had shrimp scampi over pasta thatwas flavorful and plentiful. Overall, good food at at a very good price.

Had lunch here on a Monday. Not too crowded. Food prices were just about right given that you are in an already expensive... strip...Nautical Mile. Service was excellent. Food could have been a little warmer. Menu items should be explained, e.g. thescallops were the very small ones. There is outside seating around the back AND also free parking also around back. All in all Iwill most definitely be going back. I also wanted to mention there was cocktails available as well. Read more
Kerry, the waitress, rudely told me that the restaurant has never sold Chablis wine, when I distinctly remember having it there... multiple times. My relative ordered it and I followed suit. Kerry didn't even know what Chablis is and when I educated her thatit is a white wine, she rudely said, "I'm telling you we have never had it." At that point, I disengaged/stopped speaking to herto end the unpleasant exchange in the empty restaurant. My fam and I had been going to this restaurant for over 8 years and Iknow Chablis was served there and we even ordered it in a carafe before. We ordered less food and drinks tonight due to Kerry'sexchange. To make matters worse, my fam told me that when I went to the bathroom, Kerry approached them and said that therestaurant never sold Chablis, which again is incorrect. And it was Sneaky for her to wait until I was in the restroom toapproach my family. Kerry's sneakiness is what prompted me to write this review, because I would have just let it go. I willNEVER return to this restaurant again. Loyal customer now gone! Read more
