Review: Well we entered the restaurant and the bar tender was fixing himself in the mirror. We got seated with in 10 mins and waited 25 mins before they brang out any of our food. When we got our food they forgot my husbands meal, and to top it off they served me a salad that had rotten tomatoes on it. So when the waiter came back I told him to please take my salad and New England clam Chowder back and to take it off of the bill and the best part is it was served in a PLASTIC bowl with plastic utensils...I laughed!!! Now look, I am not trying to be picky but, I have eaten at 5 stars, 4 stars and 3 star restaurants. This was horrible. I would not even send my worst enemy here. I beg you please do not eat at the place it was terrible. Price wise it is not worth it either. Has for a rating I would give it a "0"

Review: We have eaten at Crabby Oddwaters several times while visiting Ocean Isle Beach. It was recommended to us by the manager of The Winds Resort at that time. The food and service was always good, however, the last time we were there (in 08), they served our food on paper plates with plastic silverware which I do not like. I ordered the seafood fetticini which could have easily fell off the plate and been disastrous. But all in all we do like it there and would probably go back.

Review: We visited Crabby Oddwaters for the first time on July 31, 2010. Our server was Noah, and he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food selections. I ordered the grouper oscar and asked that the crabmeat be removed as I am alergic to shellfish. My request was accommodated and it was, by far the best grouper I've ever had. Mark had the Tuna and it was also wonderful. We had the key lime pie for dessert, and it was also wonderful. Thanks for a great experience!

Review: My family of 6 adults and three children visited Crabby's last evening for dinner. We were certainly disappointed. The service was extremely slow and the food, served on paper plates with plasticware was very overpriced for the quality. The children's menu was fine, can't ruin a hamburger and grilled cheese with fries. The adults all ordered fish. The Helicious Barge was suppose to come with a variety of steamed fish but was served with oysters (no clams or mussels as indicated on the menu). The oysters had to be opened by the customer which was impossible. Even the server could not help us! We finally opened one and it was all dried. The crab legs had very little meat and even these arrived without a cracker. The server said all of the crackers were in the dishwasher...in a seafood restaurant? The bill was very high...well over $240. The rest of our meals were of the same quality...mediocre at best. The service was VERY slow and our server did nothing to help us as he was so busy that he was harried beyond what he could handle. The A/C wqas not working well especailly in the bathrooms. All in all we will not be going to Crabby's again nor recommending it to any that may ask for a recommendation in Sunset Beach.

Review: We discovered this little gem during a "Moms Night Out" during spring break. The food was amazing! It is by far the best seafood I have had in the area (and we travel there 4x/year). The plastic wasn't a big deal, especially given how good the food was. The service was quick and friendly. I would definitely recommend the place!

Review: My Family and I visited Sunset Beach North Carolina. During our vacation we went to this very cute Restaurant called Crabby Oddwaters. Our experience was great they have exceptional water views and atmosphere. Our server was Gabby she was great very upbeat and friendly. I would recommend this place to any one that wants to experience fresh seafood at a fair price.

Review: To other people posting reviews, plastic has to be used because there is no sewage. Also, you're on vacation so relax.
We have been vacationing in Sunset for fifteen years, and we used to love Crabby Oddwater's. However, after Saturday night's experience, we will not return. Our waitress was nice, but the manager that was sitting at the bar blessed her out. It was pitiful. I have heard that that woman was a rude drunk, but I have never seen it. I think she made the sweet girl cry. I think that her husband (Bill) was sitting next to her, and he didn't even do anything. I'm truly disappointed, and even though the food is good, we wil not return.

Review: I truely hate to leave negative comments, but this was our very last time to visit this place. Let me start off by saying that we visited here on our honeymoon back in 99 and went every year on our anniversary. We continued to come back even after our first child was born until this past year. The food is excellent if or when you get it! Our experience is the same as many of the other who have posted. The service has be getting slower and slower every year, even though there are plenty of seats available the wait continues to become longer and longer. Our waitress came to take our order and to leave the check...never saw her again. Well that makes us very upset so left exactly what she was worth and she stormed past us cursing and ranting on and on about the tip, we only give good tips to those who do their job. Prices are average, but again we love the food and the atmosphere but the service and waiting time will no longer allow us to spend our time and money here...Sad

Review: Crabbyoddwaters is my favorite place to eat at the beach. I have been eating there more than 20 years. The food is as fresh as you can get. It comes from the market down stairs. And the view is spectacular at sunset.

Review: We were seated promptly because the restaurant was not that full for 7:00 on a Friday night (now I know why). The waiter seemed as thought he was extremely busy, but we never saw him waiting on other tables only coming in and out of the back. He was not rude, he just wasn't there. The food was served on plastic plates, the drinks in plastic cups, and we were given plastic forks and knives to eat with. The plate that I ordered was missing some things and it was cold by the time it got to the table. I ordered crab cakes that had something hard and crunchy in them. I ordered mac-n-cheese for my son that came with corn on the cob and paid 7 dollars for it. This was way to overpriced, and it probably only cost them 50 cents to make it. My husband and I were on a budget for our vacation and only wanted to eat at a seafood restaurant one night and we ended up paying way too much money for bad, really bad food. We felt as thought we had been robbed when we left that restaurant. We will never enter a restaurant again without reading reviews on it first. This was the worst dining experience I have ever had. I really feel sick to my stomach when I think about this place, it ruined the end of my vacation.

Review: This was a horrible experience for the entire group. My husband and I along with five other couples ate here on 10/17/08. The waitress was rude and very unaccommodating. The food was terrible. My husband and I split a combination platter with shrimp, oysters, flounder and scallops. Everything was greasy, over cooked and not fit to eat. Others ordered steamed oysters that were not steamed enough and their side items were left off. A very disappointing experience from start to finish. We will not return!.

Review: First, this was our first time at this restaurant and most notably our last.
Second, I thought that the food was overpriced, but that could have been overlooked because I loved the atmosphere. It was just the kind of place my husband and I would have sought out on a vacation, as we did, along with three relatives.
Finally, I would rate the service and management the night we were there as very, very poor. We were the very FIRST table seated for the night, and our dinner was served 75 minutes later. We only ordered 3 pasta dinners, a steak and blue crab. I can't imagine that taking 75 minutes to make it to the table. We think that the waiter forgot to put our order in, but he never acknowledged it. Our waiter never brought our appetizer until our meal, but that was after he was reminded that we never got it. We told him we didn't want it. He kept forgetting everything. When the manager (maybe he was the OWNER), came while we waited to pay our bill and asked how everything was, I told him that the wait time to get our food was unacceptable. Without asking for further explanation (because maybe WE were the ones who didn't understand), he turned his back and as he was walking away, he commented sarcastically, "It is to be expected this time of year." He couldn't have been more rude. I waited tables nine years before I entered my professional career, and I can say I never saw a manager (or owner) act in this manner. We will never return to Crabby Oddwaters, and if asked, we will never recommend it.

Review: Crabby's is not you ordinary seafood restaurant. My famiy and I have made it a part of our vacation routine since 1993 and have never been disappointed. If you're looking for fresh seafood served broiled, boiled or blackened, then this the place. Be sure to try the nightly specials for something different and sure to stimulate your taste buds. Our kids love the hush puppies.

Review: The entire staff seems to be trying hard to improve the quality and experience. We were seated promptly and the waiter was very attentive. The selection was very good, although a shorter menu than most established restaurants. My wifes order of Snow Crab legs were fresh, hot and plenty. My order of flounder, shrimp and scallops were alse very fresh, nice size shrimp and was plenty to eat. We each took a small amount back to the cottage. Prices were comparable to anywhere else. Well worth a try.

Review: Love Crabby's and the fun, hard working folks that work there. Food is always excellent! Great crab soups, fresh seafood and let's not forget the Key Lime Pie!
The person in the last review needs to leave their attitude at home and should not expect the red carpet to be rolled out for them, especially in a small town beach community. Relax and enjoy! Life is too short.

Review: When our party of 6 arrived, we were told there would be a wait. When we asked how long, the hostess explained that she was not allowed to say !?! We were seated 30 minutes later and discovered only 4 other tables being served. Food was served on plastic plates and bowls with plastic flatware. Food quality was EXTREMELY mediocore, soups were starchy and salty, Seafood Fettucini Alfredo as well. Snow crab was freezer burnt. Service was ok, but food was a BIG disappointment with a BIG pricetag. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
