I stopped by this Crab Palace on my way from Baltimore to Albany, drawn in by the high reviews. Unfortunately, I have to agree with some of the less favorable feedback. The crabs I ordered were supposed to be female and medium-sized, but I received a mix of male and female crabs, all of which were small and, disappointingly, mostly empty. There was an overwhelming amount of crab legs compared to actual crabs, and even those were not as meaty as expected. I understand that predicting the quality of the crabs is challenging, but perhaps weighing them or providing extra as a precaution could improve the experience. While this may be a popular spot with lots of patrons, I found the quality lacking and doubt I will return.

Will never return. Paid $30 a dozen for female crabs, ordered 2 dozen. Wasn’t till I drove all the way back home which was 45 mins away Piscataway I noticed we recieved 2 dozen male crabs, toward the end the bottom of bags I also noticed they were light weighted and wasn’t as fresh as the top of bag. Was told to return crabs . Like seriously it was 4:15 pm and the closes at 5. We tossed the remainder of cravs in garbage . We will never come back. Soo sorry this happened because I was a faithful customer over the years.

Amazing Crabs! Friendly Service! We were greeted at the door right away by a nice woman who took our order and let us know when we were able to go inside and pay. (Due to Covid they are only allowing 5 people inside at a time, we appreciate them taking proper precautions) I was worried they would be all out of Large Male blue claws but they still had plenty at 2-3pm! All arrived home alive and ready to go into the pot!

Food so fresh. This is where the fish guy at the local market recommended I go when I needed a bushel off crabs. They sell fresh as well as cooked seafood. The crowd on the 4th of July was phoneminal in size and they both ran out of male crabs but what they had was great! Their staff is great, and very personable. They made the wait enjoyable. Parking is"iffy", so go prepared to drive around or take a partner.

This is our go to place for crabs and it’s just conveniently located and easy to get to from Morris Plains. Blue crabs are usually a summer time thing for us, but my daughter wanted some for her birthday weekend, January 9th. Bought a dozen large (#1) and a dozen jumbo. They were amazing - heavy and meaty!! Took the chill right out of us and made us think of summer. Love the staff too! So nice and pleasant!!
