Washington Crab

Washington Crab Shack is a wonderful place! Very tasty very fun… and the service was super friendly and welcoming. I had the clam chowder… Which is chock full of clams and bacon all in the clear broth (e.g., not creamy), that is unbelievably clam-iferous! A super Duper winner! I also had the fried clams Burger, which is more like a poor boy sandwich, stuffed full of fried oysters. Brulé sauce, big slice of onion, lettuce, and tomato. Super delicious. BTW, you need to ask how you want things fried here soft, medium or hard… I chose to have my oysters fried medium so that the oysters themselves were more tender unless tougher crispy. French fries also require you to choose your level of frying indoor eating is comfortable …outdoor eating looks tight comfortable to

Like every local seafood place from my eastern NC childhood.....casual and nostalgic. Don't let the outside or location put you off. These were the best crispy oysters I've had in ages. Well done just the way I like. The shrimp and flounder were also good but next time I'll order them medium. Really next time I probably will get a large oyster plate. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Service was quick.

Stopped in for a seafood dinner based on the recommendation from several locals. Fortunately, I've learned many years ago that I shouldn't judge a restaurants food from the exterior. Definitely an older rustic building but their food was delicious. The first night in town I had a fried flounder / oyster combo with two sides for only $20. They actually fry your meal according to your preference here! It was so good that I stopped by for dinner the next evening for their Wednesday $1 oyster special. Keep up the good work guys. You're definitely on my radar for a return visit.

We walked in the restaurant, apparently didn't follow the path & someone came out of the kitchen to scold us. At the next turn the gentleman at the desk took our order politely & thorough. We were hungry so we went with the flow. It was worth staying. The scallop wrapped in bacon was fabulous. The fried platters were delicious. Oysters, shrimp, pups. The she crab was a bit salty for me & my friend who doesn't like seafood had a grilled cheese as the other option chicken wasn't available. I was pleasantly full when we left.
