The Red Eyed Crab Reviews
Loved the Corn Chowder! We ordered appetizers which were delicious and I regret not getting a seafood platter. Atmosphere was rustic fishermen, hole in the wall chic. Exactly what you would find in Maine or Cape Cod. Service was very attentive and friendly!
Didn't make a reservation but sat down right away. Really good salad and hot rolls. Clam casino were the best but mussels marinara was the winner for only 12.50. Fried shrimp/fried scallops superb, same mixed fried seafood esp including fried oysters. Broiled stuffed flounder awesome. Homemade iced tea. The highlight was the staff. So warm and friendly. Loved our drink girl. Adorable.
Very Eclectic surroundings.... Coastal Have been here several times now Have Always had a Very Good meal of Seafood, and Service. BYOB
The place has a quality seafood at very reasonable price. I would definitely come back again. Btw don't worry if the water tastes weird that's the iron in the water (apparently it's a port Norris regional thing). But it's a BYOB so yep! I thought their soup was a bit too salty but their salad was amazing!
Yes, yes, yes, yes yes YES, YEEEEAAASSss !!!! Clams and pasta dish is like when Harry met Sally.
Atmosphere is old charm and a beautiful Riverview. The food is five star and it's really nice that the owner tries to take a minute from the kitchen and visit with the customers. Best seafood restaurant around and a great price.
It is a great little seafood restaurant, basically in the middle of nowhere, but every time that we have gone there to eat has been a great pleasure. Added bonus... While you wait for your food, you will not be bored as the restaurant has tons of nautical decor all over the restaurant to keep yourself busy.
The decor is beautiful for old school Crab House, the food very very fresh. Service is wonderful, friendly and helpful with any questions you may have.
What a treat to discover this adorable little diner restaurant in the middle of nowhere! I was on a mission to wander among "forgotten" places in South Jersey, and on the way to one of those places, Yelp led me here. OK, so it was a weekday and I was the first customer, so happy to have the place to myself until more people started to trickle in. During COVID times, it was nice to have space. Their menu is basic, nothing fancy, but I tried the calamari and ordered their wings to bring home for later. Service was quick, very pleasant, and most of all, the atmosphere was exactly what I was looking for - quirky! And in case you were wondering - the wings were fantastic.

Wow! I would have happily travelled here just to see owner Mike's incredible collection of sea antiques!!! I heard he has an even more extensive collection nearby! The ambiance and service is so welcoming and kind!! Oh my goodness the complementary house salad and homemade bread was absolutely delicious and perfectly dressed!! I ordered the crab and corn chowder which was so deep in flavor and full of chunks of potato, corn, seafood, celery and perfectly spiced!! The servings are huge so I was very satisfied and had ordered an entree which will largely come home with me! What an incredible hidden gem!! Love love love!! Hope to meet owner Mike one day! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Will definitely be back!
