Walking into The Crab Trap for a birthday dinner and immediately dealing with that wall of restaurant noise where you’re half talking and half lip reading across the table. The music was a little louder than it needed to be, so we were leaning in just to hear each other most of the night.
That said, the place really delivered where it matters. Service was excellent. Our server stayed on top of drinks, checked in at the right times, and everything moved along smoothly without feeling rushed.
I ordered the Admirals Saute, which is shrimp, scallops, and crabmeat in a garlic butter sauce over cappellini. The seafood was cooked right and the portion was fair. Not one of those plates where you’re hunting around the pasta trying to find the seafood they promised. Everything tasted fresh and the sauce was actually worth finishing.
Overall the food was great and the service was spot on. If they knocked the music down a notch it would make the table conversation a lot easier, but that’s really the only complaint I had.

I came out for an early dinner on a Friday with my mother and sister. We were seated quickly. Our sever Tom was personable and pleasant. He had excellent suggestions and really made our dining experience special. The food was amazing, of course. The preparation and presentation are always next level. We love the soup 1-1-1 so we can try each of their delicious soups. Even the salad dressing, which is made in-house, is delectable. We finished the meal with a banana cream pie, recommended by our server, which is not to be missed. You don’t leave hungry, but you do leave looking forward to your next visit.

You can trap me at this fabulous restaurant any time! Had a family event on a Saturday so had a preview the night before. The menu says Jersey scallops. The best, period. They didn’t lie. Cooked to tender perfection, bathing in butter. Plenty to eat with a baked potato and veggies. The crusted halibut, huge and boy, do they know how to cook fish! Flaky, tender, yet a nice exterior crust. The admiral sautee had everything you could want, shrimp, scallops, and lump crab galore! And, the next day, same! Delicious!!

Fresh, perfectly cooked seafood and excellent service. The lobster tail was tender, the scallops were seared just right, and everything was well-seasoned. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back!

We hosted a corporate happy hour followed by dinner at The Crab Trap, and Anthony was truly exceptional. He was caring, attentive, and consistently focused on the details that made our experience memorable. His food and drink recommendations were spot on, and everyone in our group loved what they ordered.

Even with a packed restaurant, Anthony managed everything smoothly and efficiently. He worked seamlessly with his team, anticipated our needs, and ensured we had a great time from start to finish. Outstanding service, we’ll definitely be back!

The food, drinks, and service at the Crab Trap is second to none. All of the seafood is beyond fresh, and tastes fantastic. I will say, the wait can be a bit long, so get there plenty early. If you are visiting the shore and want quality seafood, this is the place to go. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and as expected the crab was second to none. If I could I would rate this a 100/10.

Very good quality food, we were a party of 6 and all got different things and they were all good.
Our server Dariana was exceptional – smile on her face no matter what ridiculous thing we asked for, no matter how fast we drained our beverages. And this at the end of what had clearly been a very long shift.
The place was packed when we got there, clearly the locals love it.
It is a very large amount of food – it’s not stated on the menu that entrees also get a vegetable and starch side in addition to the salad!
Special mention to the devilled crab cakes – just perfection!

The Crab Trap has been my favorite restaurant down the shore since I was a kid, and going back this year did not disappoint! The seafood is as fresh as can be, and I don’t think you can go wrong. The 1-1-1 soup appetizer of Crab Bisque, Maryland Crab Soup & Clam Chowder was great, and I ended up ordering a giant bowl of Crab Bisque after. The crab cakes, whether deviled or not, are perfect, and my wife said it’s the best she’s ever had! The atmosphere feels like a beach restaurant, with a location that’s easy to get to and a nearby waterside bar.

We have banana cream pie to top it off. Ui
The live music was & added bonus-we had a perfect booth in the bar area. Got to watch the phillies too! A win-win.
I’ve eaten here many times
And I must say that Stacy was one of the best servers. She’s a keeper!
