When I first started going to this crab place it was pretty decent and the crabs were good. Maybe around 2019-2021. One time I placed an order and they shorted my crabs. I called and they partially resolved the issue because they still ended up giving me the wrong thing. I laid off of them for a while. I moved to a different area and wasn’t familiar with other places so I said let me go back to them. Ended up getting an order of crabs and the crabs weren’t fresh. You can smell the strong ammonia scent coming from the crabs. I called to allow them to know, but at the time I started having car trouble and took the L since I couldn’t get back to that side of town to deal with the issue. I simply said I just won’t bother with this business anymore. Now a year later I’m currently pregnant and wanted to get crabs, so my spouse went there to get me crabs and it’s the same issue. I opened the crab and instantly smelled the same scent not to mention they were mushy, had like a grayish color to it and still a lighter weight. I don’t know what happened but the quality of their crabs are just not good. I could’ve been terribly sick and at risk eating that mess especially being pregnant. Idk if it has anything to do with storage or still steaming a few crabs that may have been dead for a “shortened amount of time” for them but it’s a mess. Now the staff are generally kind. I haven’t had any issues with customer service I will say that.

Yes, the legs had meat in them however, that was all of the meat. The body portion was empty. To be clear I was not complaining about the price my issue was that I paid for five crabs and only three were edible. – Yesterday was my first time visiting this establishment. I chose to go here because of the great reviews. I purchased five super males. Out of the five, two were hollow. I called to inform the staff and was told that I could bring them back for a refund or replacement. I respect the return policy however, it is not always feasible. I live an hour away from the location and am not going to waste my gas money. The crabs were good but very overpriced for only three that were edible. I will drive for crabs but I will not drive to return them.

I got the biggest male crabs on the menu, and the biggest female crabs, with a half dozen total. I received two separate bags and strategically the female crab bag was placed the the bottom bag. The male crabs were fine, no problems. However when I got to open the female crab bag, there was one XL female and two small to medium sized females. This has always been a fear of mine, to order crabs and they put the correct size crabs on the top and smaller crabs on the bottom just to misdirect you. Can what’s crazy is that in my stupidity, I gave them a $10 tip for working with me on my order, as well as buy other items out of support. Nevertheless, I will never be returning, and will never approve or recommend this establishment to anyone.

I never got to try it ,I think the employees were racist ,being the only white guy in the store they walked past me 3 times to wait on people in front of me ,and behind me , I really wanted the double crab cake dinner ,but I was totally ignored . I’ve not tried since ,and won’t .

I reached out to crab depot 3 times so they could make the order right before I left a bad review. I ordered a bushel of blue steamed crabs for $202.00. The claws were mostly dried and over seasoned. Seasoning needed brushed off. Was no the best of quality. The same day they ran a special for $169.00 and I also ordered a bushel to be delivered on September 25 2025. I was sent an email saying not sure of day and I confirmed it in the email and by phone and was told it would be delivered on September 25th. Order was sent on August 9th and the bushel I picked up, which I drove from Pittsburgh pa to pick up was on August 7, 2025. So I had to clean out freezer to fit delivered order in and sent email on mistake. Plus this crabs were very dry over seasoned most of the crabs were garbage and inedible. Not one crab was sweet. Not one claw could be eaten. Terrible! I reached out in email 3 times and no one responded except girl I talk to saying crabs would not be sent until 9/25/25 that were sent 08/09/25 and inedible. I’ve ordered from crab depot in the past and received good service and quality. This time service was horrible and quality was worse. They can not be eaten. I still have them frozen in freezer for evidence if it made me sick. Some crabs tasted spoiled. I would never order from crab depot ever again. I don’t recommend anyone order from this company. They certainly don’t care if you received spoil product and don’t try to make it right.

NEVER AGAIN!!! Went there and bought 1dz X large, 2 dz large and they were definitely not the right size. Some in the bag could pass for large and x large but towards the bottom they were medium and regulars. They were super light and flat out MUSH! We took them back only to be told there were no more x large so we settled on them making them all large and when they brought the bag out to the car these crabs were even smaller. Once I came to return the first set the young lady who was super nice the first time turned into a rude and obnoxious person. Making faces and staring me down like I did something wrong. The second batch were smaller and still MUSH. I’m not even gonna bother to take them back! Threw them in the trash and taking it as a loss and lesson learned. First pic is supposed to be and X large. Second pic are supposed to be larges 250) down the drain

I placed an order for 3 dozen live blue crabs they gave me a 2 day window they were supposed to arrive there was no tracking info other then that so after the 2 days with no crabs arriving I sent 2 e-mails asking about any tracking info if they could tell me if maybe the crabs were delivered to the wrong place. However I recieved no response to my e-mails. I was shocked to find out it was a real company because after this I thought it was a scam but after searching i found out its a real company! Just crazy. Spent over $200 for nothing still never received any crabs live or dead and never got any response from the company… maybe they are 2,000 leagues under the sea.

I am happy to say the owner responded to my negative review. I am happy to know my crabs were not delivered to the wrong address and are just rotting away. I will say I am not sure why I got an e-mail saying my crabs will be delivered between August 6th-7th but the owner let me know my crabs will actually be delivered August 15th which I am totally fine with i am just happy to have my crabs. This might be a small company but working on the tracking info would be absolutely beneficial. Can’t wait for my crabs I hope they are great!
Also not sure why they would not receive my e-mails i sent from their site address but again I assume this might be a small business working out some kinks. As being a small business owner myself I know what that is like. But responding to customers and overall customer service is the ticket to success. So if anyone has issues with anything from the crab depot just let them know and I believe they will do their best to work with you. They definitely gave me a solid response once they were made aware.

She showed me a live crab that I’m thinking I’m buying a dozen of live steamed crab get them because my daughter wanted some crabs for on her birthday. The look on her face when she opened that bag and dump them crabs out. came back the next day the young lady how about a manager is not there’s no boss and she didn’t steam the crabs. The crabs was old. Didn’t have any seasoning on them. You could tell it was really anybody that eat crabs can tell when crabs are fresh steam or old crabs that were
