This was a hard one to rate. Very good or excellent, excellent or very good? This is a unique place in Shenzhen and it feels like the kind of place that everyone knows each other, and perhaps they do. My wife and I ate there...twice in the 4 days we spent in Shekou because we were so impressed.
So why not excellent? Maybe it should be, the value is good, the shrimp, crabcakes, the burger was all good solid meals, but I guess there wasn't a spark that pushed it over to excellent, and there is nothing wrong with it because I think everyone (except on rare occasions or off nights) will feel like they got their moneys worth.
We will be back. The old bay Shrimp, I am not 100% sure it was Old Bay but it's a close copy if it wasn't, and I am good with that. The crabcake was a respectable crabcake, not too much filler. Tee fries are good, the onions rings were good but too greasy. Should have had a few more shakes in the rack or served on something to soak it up.
The drinks are reasonably priced and tasty. It's a good solid outing for seafood and more. Don't let the "Crab Shack' name fool you, their menu is large with many options besides seafood. There is something for everyone if you have non-seafood people considering it.
Rikki who waited on us was joyful and entertaining and helps give some extra personality to the surroundings.
Its worth your time for a visit,More
