Bidra med feedbackTo start, I chose the Manhattan clam chowder, and it turned out to be nothing short of heavenly. Rich, flavorful, and thoroughly satisfying, it set the tone for the incredible meal that followed. And what a meal it was! Feast your eyes on the Jumbo Snow crabs, Baltimore style, served on a bed of rice and corn, generously soaked in a delicious juice. The explosion of flavors—a delightful blend of juices, butter, spices, and tender crab—is simply extraordinary. The rice, infused with all the tasty juices, offers a canvas for a burst of flavors, while the buttery garlic bread becomes your reliable partner for dipping—a messy yet immensely gratifying experience. Don’t worry about the mess; the Shanty provides bibs and tools to help you crack open and enjoy your crustacean treasures. Plus, with convenient valet parking available and plenty of options nearby, your dining experience will be stress-free. In conclusion, I would rate The Original Crab Shanty a solid 7 out of 10. While the messy task of cracking crabs may not be for everyone, those in search of an unforgettable and flavorful seafood experience need to look no further. This is a place that promises to enchant your senses and leave you wanting more with every visit.
However, the only downside was the booth behind us, which was filled with unruly children, and the two tables next to it were occupied by their parents. It was a bit chaotic, and unfortunately, no one seemed to address the kids’ behavior. I was relieved when they finally left! On to the food—everything was delicious! I ordered the lasagna, trying to be a bit restrained (usually, I indulge a lot!). My cousin chose the seafood platter, and the portions were very generous. I completely forgot to take any pictures, but I can tell you that her meal was enough to serve two, and I had more than enough for lunch the next day. I’ve dined at Crab Shanty before and have never had a disappointing meal. Next time, I promise to snap some pictures and give dessert a try!
I been going here since forever and everything has gone down! Quality and quantity! Only thing that gone up is price which is ridiculous for 2 person feast!!!!! That's insane! Drinks are super expensive and watered down! They need to do better price wise.
06/03/23: Its been a while since I've been to City Island but OMG still a seafood Mecca for the soul. Choice of the night Crab Shanty. Walk in no reservations. It's very busy and bustling. They will not seat until entire party present. Our party of 6 waited about 10mins or less. Friendly hostess, our waitstaff and everyone encountered very pleasant all with smiles and welcoming. Extensive selection of food and drinks if you are a seafood lover look no further. Although pricy I believe the combo meals are worth it. Lobster, crab legs, shrimp oh my. I'm salivating as I'm writing this review and thinking of all the deliciousness I ate. The crabmeat was so juicy and tender and actually flavorful not the bland taste as other places may serve. We definitely enjoyed and can't wait to
It's been years since I've last visited this establishment. And I always dream of this place whenever I think of great seafood. I finally was able to stop by today. The drinks were as I remembered strong and delicious. They give you a super HUGE footlong of garlicky, crispy, flavorful garlic bread on the house as soon as you get situated. And trust me, I never touch the free bread whenever I go anywhere. But this... I devoured half the footlong, and it got me so full. Lol. My tummy was happy. Anyway, onto what I ordered. Lunch Crabmeat lump cakes (3 pc per order) were a tad bit salty, but it paired so well w the tartar sauce. Tuna steak, I didn't get to eat it bc I was stuffed. Took a doogybag. Appetizer combo steamed platter, which consisted of clams and mussels. They were so fresh and delicious. Chefs kisses. And my food came with a new England clam chowda, fries , garlic linguine, and salad. I had so much leftovers. Enough for 2 more extra meals. Anyway, I def recommend it. And hopefully, next time, it won't take me years to return. The servers and bussers were super attentative. Never an empty cup. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. I def recommend it!!!
