Tier Achieved:
Clean. Reliable. Does the job.
The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.
The Fat Crab is where your seafood dreams come to feast and where Carlos makes birthdays memorable with cupcakes. Izzah is all about the snow crab, while Aliza swears by the seafood boil, saying the sauce is ‘super yummy.’ Natalie loved her chilled dinner, even if they forgot her starter—no biggie when the food's this good. It’s the kind of place that’s a bit quiet but has a vibe that’s irresistible.
AT found the food consistently delicious, but let’s not ignore Van's nightmare scenario on Christmas Eve—no reservation equals no dining. Some reviews point out service hiccups, but honestly, if you’re after some seriously tasty seafood, this is your playground. Just make sure you come prepared, or you might end up with a takeaway instead of a proper meal.
