Bob's Crab House — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Hole in the wall take out spot. Clean with old school ghetto charm (there is still a bootleg movie guy set up with a dvd player and a guy selling t shirts walked in while I was there.) 1 long counter with 3 or 4 workers behind it. On display were whole crabs for $3 $4 or $5 each depending on size. They had many kinds of seafood salads, seasoned clams, garlic and spicy shrimp etc. To the left were not so fresh looking desserts (cheesecake, brownies, red velvet cake, and chocolate chip cookies. I opted for a pound of crawfish (called crawdaddies here) with spicy seasoning and 4 whole crabs $3 sized. They offered to steam them which was quick and I bought a variety of sauces including butter, garlic butter, minced garlic and cocktail. The cocktail sauce id the gem here, very spicy and addictive. My fiance stole some for his french fries. Delicious fresh seafood from a dubious...

First timer! I’m going to give the African American gentleman who was working the front window grace, maybe it was hot & he was having a bad day! Because we had questions & were met with attitude and had to continue to ask him to speak up because we couldn’t hear him.

However, The Two caucasian gentlemen in the back were very nice! And very accommodating to answering questions! I later found out one was thee Bob himself.

They have an open kitchen area off to the side, so you can see the crabs being made. I prefer body crabs & the ones I got were meaty inside & heavily seasoned.

My cousins said they enjoyed their sautéed crabs, mussels & crab cake.

kitchen closes at 7:30pm, no sautéed after then you have to pay for a side of butter, different sizes offered phone # does not work BUT the website is fairly accurate & if they don’t have something they...

I’m so f’ng mad because I order an Alaskan crab platter and added for $5or $6 six shrimp to my order which was on my receipt. And I ordered 4 $3 crabs.. so I get home and my $3 crabs are small as heck and I’m pissed about how small they were so I drove back around because I just didn’t belive I was given the right size for that price. So when I go back to the store they show me the different sizes of the crabs up close so I asked for my money back for my crabs which they gave me…. I get back home and I eat my meal and it wasn’t until I finished that I realized they never put my six shrimp with my order!!! I’m now fuming because I was so worried about the size of the crabs that I didn’t realize that I didn’t get my shrimp and I was charged for it ! I’m so pissed… I’m never going back there. I should have checked my food before I left. That was...
