Customer Reviews

As a Marylander, you can't get better crabs in Central PA than with Grappling Crab Shack. You guy rock!!

Wayne J. 
Ocean Pines, NJ

Packed full of flavor and tons of crab!  Sauce adds the perfect amount of zip without overpowering the crab.

Melissa H.

Crab cakes are the best I've ever had, even when in Maryland. Coleslaw is amazing as well as the corn and crab chowder.
