The food was VERY good. I got the lunch special shrimp tacos (2), even though it was a little after 2:30; they still allowed me to get the lunch special, which came with a coke and a bag if chips all for $12.95. There were two shrimps on each taco, and they were decent sized. I think a third shrimp on each would have made it perfect, but as is it was still very good! The crab bread bowl appetizer was delicious, as was the double cheeseburger meal, and the softshell crab club. My mother is from out of state and had never had one before, and she was not ready for the entire crab on her sandwich! She loved it, though! Debbie was a quick and efficient server. The bathrooms were nice, and the ladies room had salt scrub for hands, which was amazing and also purchasable. I bought the Key Lime Salt Scrub for our condo bathroom. They also had coconut and cucumber as scents as well. Overall a great experience. Highly recommend.

Be ready to be patient if you go this summer. They're short-handed as so many places are. We waited quite a while to be served. Our waitress was friendly and helpful even so. Shrimp tacos were very good. Sweet potato fries seemed like they would have been really good but they were lukewarm unfortunately. Many people got the crabs so lots of hammering. Friendly place in general but if you want your food quickly, get take out.

We ate there about two weeks ago and I ordered the Captain's Crab Haul. This was an awesome meal comprised of crab legs, blue crab, shrimp, corn on the cob & fried chicken. A real treat that was more than enough for a seafood lover such as myself.

Parking was a little bit of a pain even though we got there before the dinner rush (4:30ish) however when we left the line was long to get a table. Smaller than expected and we sat in the "overflow" room past the bar to the right. Only gripe I have there is wish they would put a TV or something to watch while waiting for our meal which was a little long, I thought. But our waitress was great & came to check on us several times for drink refills while we waited and chatted a little. She was great and that offset the longer time.

Great serving, normal price for area & really great tasting seafood food.

Fenwick Crab House gets 5 stars from me!

P.S. - there is for blue crabs underneath all that food in the picture.

Update 8/12/23

Returned for the Fenwick Feast and had another marvelous dinner. Alaskan crab was sweet, blue crabs were medium & heavy, shrimp were spicy with Old Bay, & the fried chicken was great. I really enjoy that combo meal. Love ordered Snow Crab with sides and said they were great also. Staff were friendly & courteous as usual. Oh also try their soup selection as an app, you won't regret it.
