Crab Line Seafood: Reviews & Ratings

I have been a loyal customer of Crab Line for 35 years. My favorites are their jumbo crabs, jumbo shrimp and croaker - not to mention the hush puppies (I'm not supposed to have). Despite the increased industry prices, Crab Line still offers great sized crabs for reasonable prices. I order from them every year for my annual crab party and wouldn't consider going anywhere else unless they are sold out or closed for vacation. The owners are (and have always been) pleasant from the time I was a young college student to today. They care about their customers. As far as atmosphere, the space is clean and seating is available for those who want to wait inside for their food. I highly recommend Crab Line.

I've never bought anything BUT crabs from this place. The crabs are always nice and heavy and consistent in size, never mushy or empty and are always delicious. The couple that owns the store is always really friendly and I like that they always provide newspapers so I don't have to waste more money on a new one. Lol

The eats at this place r great! If you like seafood, these guys serve up the best of everything and their prices are reasonable. I've never had a bad crab from them, always good and big. Mr. Pak takes care of you and values his customers. They show me love and they certainly get it back from me.

I love the fresh cooked oysters. I always buy a jar. My co-workers love the food also. They have been getting the crabs and the #6. I work with a very picky eater and surprisingly she likes the crab cakes. The staff is very nice. I like the place.
