Reviews for I Got Your Crabs Shellfish Market and Oyster Bar in Kitty Hawk, NC

We are from Maryland, so we don?t play around when it comes to crabs. Outside looks like a dumpy little hole in the wall. When... we opened the door we knew we?re at a real crab house! The spicy smell of crabs steaming the brown paper on the tables?..the 3of us sat in the last booth and only order a half dozen biggies to see if they were up to our Maryland crab expert tastersstandards. They were! And I would drive 5 hours to eat there again. We will see you next year. Our server Kim was so fun and ontop of everything. The crabs were right off the boat and so were the shrimp. The freshness was like no other! They season itafter steaming, so MD people go with the heavy season. The sweet potato fries must be hand cut, with a warm caramel dippingsauce, the Cole slaw is bright and crunchy, not dripping in mayo. They?re photos of the family all over. We talked with the onesmother. She gave us the history of everyone on the walls. Go off season for lunch like we did. You will have an excellentexperience. Read more

Owner was a bit cranky, but it was late so it's understandable! The other servers were welcoming and the food was truly amazing.... Make sure you stop by if you're in the area. Blue crab nachos and three dozen oysters! Read more

Amazing food and great service! We got the crab bisque, crab stuffed mushrooms, fried oysters, fried shrimp, sweet potato fries,... and flounder filet sandwich. Everything was hot and fresh. I would recommend getting the sweet potato fries just for the caramelsauce! We only had to wait a short time for a seat and our food came up fast even though they were very busy. The staff werefriendly and attentive. We will definitely be back! Read more

The outside doesn?t look like much and for us that was the case for the entire experience on 6/12. Order of to go, waited an... exceptionally long time with very few people inside eating and only a few orders going out. That?s fine I guess if the food isgood, it wasn?t bad just kinda blah. We ordered a selection of what I was told were the popular items. ????????????????Defiantly had much better. Gotta love a establishment that dismisses feed back and instead condescendingly ?educates? thecustomer. Thanks for the education, we are all familiar with going to a restaurant and ordering food.

Amazing takeout experience from this establishment. We ordered 2lbs of snow crab legs, 1/4 lb of shrimp, hush puppies, and corn... on the cob. I couldn?t find a single thing to criticize. Everything was delicious and hot, even when we got home (about 5 minsdown the road). Crab legs and shrimp were cooked to perfection and very well-seasoned. Hush puppies were very large and cookedgreat. Corn on the cob was excellent, and not over cooked like some can be when steamed. The service was quick, we only waitedabout 20 mins for our food and we were able to wait outside in their picnic area. There is an option to eat out in that area forthose with pets, we had our dog with us while we waited. Staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable on their product. Wewill be returning here on our next vacation here. We may even try the indoor dining! Read more

What a fantastic place! I haven?t had better steamed crabs. Ever! Took them to go and they were cooked to perfection. Still... piping hot when we got back to our place. The crew working clearly takes pride in their product and it shows. Fresh and tasty! Read more

Foods are great. Steamed clams are very fresh and sweet. Crabs are nice too, but it's quite small for the medium size, it's more... like the regular (small). Hush puppies are the bomb!!! It comes with a caramel sauce that is quite unique and good. Read more

Just amazing. They only do a select amount of carry out each day, but don?t let that stop you from getting some amazing eats. I... decided to eat in and was not disappointed. Really a wonderful experience. The chips for the nachos were made fresh along witheverything else. I got the nachos, steamed shrimp, and steamed blue crab. Definitely the place to grab some excellent fresh foodwhen at the OBX. Read more
