“Pleasant experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2013 NEW via mobile

We found out when we got there that because it was Mothers Day, that the dining room was only open to those with reservations, so we just ate at the bar. We were not that hungry so we only had appetizers and a beer at the bar, but what we had was very good. We had the clams casino which... More

“ok”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 May 2013

My parents used to LOVE the Crab Trap...so after a Dr. appointment in the area...I took my mom. It was nothing special...even she agreed. The help were not the friendliest...the table next to us were verbally given the specials...which we never heard. We both ordered the crab imperial. It was very tasty...but I would never go out of my way... More

“Salmon was great”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2013

Read the review on how good the salmon was so I tried it. It was great. Great food at a good price. The apple pie was 3 out of 5. So they could improve on it. But service was great. I got there before 6 so there was no wait. Nice Atmosphere.

“Waited over 1.5 hours in APRIL”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2013 via mobile

Walked in with a party of 12 at 5:20pm and were finally seated at 7 pm. Had we not been there to celebrate a birthday we would have left! Had been told when we arrived that there was 45 minute wait. With 4 children in our party after the hour wait I approached the podium to asked how much longer... More

“Awesome food and great service!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2013

I live in Florida and was looking for a great seafood restaurant! For appetizers we ordered the clams casino and oysters rockefeller combination as well as the lobster puff and crabcake combo. All of which were very flavorful and done to perfection. Couldn't decide on which soup to try so our great server, Katie, suggested the soup sampler, which included... More

“Still Fantastic”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2013

As a repeat diner at Crab Trap, like many others, it is still simply great. Went last week for the "early bird" special (before 5pm). No wait time for a table. Prices are signifigantly cheaper than the dinner menu & portions are generous. They have increased their prices however. One thing I noted was a chilled shrimp plate (kids menu).... More

“little overpriced”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2013

Two for one special on mondays is not so different than the early bird special. You get more variety with the early menu. Regular menu is over priced compared to other restaurants. To me, 2 for 1 is not that good of a deal. I had seafood combo and it was not that much for me, as I have a... More
