Went to the crab trap for dinner last week. I am a bit picky, oddly wanting my restaurant to be clean, even if it isn't, just look clean. Be prepared for fried everything. The staff is not very attentive, and the expectations were low. There was a gigantic roach, which was dead, behind my chair. Several of the wait staff... more

I ate here while on a business trip with a colleague. We opted to eat at the bar, since there was a wait for tables and we wanted a drink anyway. We were waited on promptly by John the bartender, who was wonderful. I had, quite possibly, the best Bloody Mary i have ever tasted, while my friend had the... more

I'm always wary of any restaurant that sells tshirts. They seem to get by on popularity more than on the quality of the food. This place is no different. The food is edible but overpriced. I had fried shrimp and cheese grits that lacked flavor. The hole in the table with the trash can underneath is convenient, but I couldn't... more

My daughter, granddaughter and I visited the Crabtrap on a Friday night which was February 20,2009 when the island was quite busy. We did not have to wait to get a table which should have been our first clue. We ordered the crab soup and crab and fish burgers. The crab soup came which seemed to be made from watered... more

The food was great! Meal started with a free frish dip appetizer (coupon found in travel book), wonderful. My husband had the all you can eat crab and it was fantastic. I enjoyed a grilled fish that was recommended by our waitress and I loved it. Great atmosphere. Was like eating with family. more

The reviews rating this restaurant anything above a one star must have been submitted by the owners and their friends. We had the shrimp appetizer, a fish/crabcake combo and the soft shell crab. All of it was very poorly prepared with poor ingredients and the frying was done in oil that should have been changed long ago. Too expensive at... more

As a local, I hate to say that this is not a worthy eatery. It has its charm and is ok for a casual place to stop for a drink and maybe an appetizer. But the food is not really very good. The place is starting to show its age. Those french fries that the ther people mentioned are gross.... more

the ambiance of the restaurant was nice, the staff was attentive - but the food was expensive and crab was nearly non-existant on the menu. more

We ate on a Sunday night and were seated quickly after about a 15 minute wait. The waiter was great, the service was great and the food was exceptional. We had shrimp, which were fresh and so many I could not eat all of them. My daughter had the crab legs and they were great. Overall we had a great... more
