Tasty Crab House — Restaurant in Dover

We sat waiting to give our orders for 18 minutes in a almost empty restaurant, my friend ordered steamed clams, she probably got 15 clams but more than half were closed!!! If a clam is dead before he goes in the steam pot he won't open, only a live clam, mussel ect will open. You have to know what you're doing in that kitchen when you're cooking seafood for the public and anyone who has done it will tell you it's a heavy burden on their shoulders making sure everything is of perfect freshness and quality. You don't ever serve the public a closed shell mussel of any kind ever!! With my dinner my crab legs were perfect and fresh, but the meal comes with potatoes and corn on the cobb. I was served one tiny single potato smaller than a golf ball and one third of a piece of frozen corn! When a adult pays almost $30 for their meal they expect a adult meal not something you would feed a tiny child! I don't usually complain I just don't return, but that whole evening kept getting worse! Not nearly enough wait staff, and the guy who waited on us had to be asked 3 or 4 times for butter and Old Bay, they serve tiny baby potatoes but no sour cream, I mean who owns this place?? Half of what we asked for they didn't have or the waiter looked at us like he had never heard of such a thing! I don't get out often because of my health, so I wanted to get up and leave right away! The food was good, but that's not going to keep that business alive if they don't step up their game everywhere else from cleanliness to proportion size, getting a cook who knows about seafood and enough wait staff and extras to keep the customers coming back!! I put a lot of thought into this review because I would like to see them suceed. They just have to get it together. And clean up that disgusting...

I decided to give this place another try..One year later. I visited on April 7, 2023 as im writing this my stomach is still rummbeling. I ordered shrimp and mussels. Everything was good until 1am. I was awakened with stomach pains. 10 mins later my face was in a trash can and a toilet everthing came back up. My throat hurts so bad my body regurgitated everything back out. It was horrible. So conclusion is I PROBABLY WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS PLACE AGAIN!🤢🤮

I visited this place 2/24/22. I ordered 1/2 lb head on shrimp, green mussles, corn and hard boiled eggs. I ate half the meal and took the rest with me. The food was good...wasnt really hot at all. So later that night I wasnt feeling to well, I dont want to go into details but everything came back up or down. I was up for the entire night into morning with the worst stomach pain ever. Please Please check your food times, temperatures and expiration dates. It is very critical. I understand no one is perfect but as being in food industry food born illness is a...

My wife is a big seafood fan, so we decided to try this place out.

Ambiance: Well lit, not too bright.

Clean looking.

Staff was friendly, but at times were very slow, especially when we waiting for check.

We has 2 orders of wings, the Cajun and the buffalo. We did not try the lemon pepper ones. The buffalo wings were good, the Cajun were dry and severely lacking in flavor.

For entree, I had soft shell crab, and she has a combo of king crab and shrimp (no heads).

It was my first time having crab, so I guess it was okay. She thought hers was good, with a nice sauce .

The corn comes soaking in a spicy sauce.

Prices are medium-high.

We will come again at some point, but do not recommend the Cajun wings at all. Also hope service is a bit better.

Service was better this time.

This time I had the lemon pepper wings and the bang bang wings. The lemon pepper seemed like it was more lemon salt. And by lemon salt I mean salt. No real lemon or pepper flavor. Bang bang...
