No matter how young or old our patrons may be, our kid-friendly restaurant has something that everyone can enjoy. Many children do not find seafood very appetizing. Certain dishes could be challenging for them to eat on their own as well. Not to mention the fact that these options tend to be some of the higher end items on the menu, which would be a shame to go to waste after having only a bite or two taken.
Whether you are looking to enjoy a quick lunch with us or sit down for dinner, we have several authentic and fresh meals for everyone to choose from. All of our seafood plates include corn and potatoes, except oysters (raw or steamed), and we offer many delicious combinations including shrimp and crab legs, shrimp and crawfish, crab legs and mussels, and more!

Our bar is stocked with several varieties of domestic and imported beer, wine, soda, and more.
I could it every day. I recommend the Big Bang for flavor, and the medium level for spiciness is more of a mild. The money was worth the happiness I felt after consuming this delicious food. The food at Cary Crab House is super delicious and every bite have been a burst of fresh seafood taste. I loved the blood potatoes as a side dish, but my one complaint would be that there are no combos on the menu.

I used to LOVE this place ( Cary ) however over the last year or so it has been a total decline in my opinion. I would frequent here ALL the time but now I would prefer to cook my own seafood boil vs waste my money here. The shrimp tastes over cooked. My crab is always filled with gooey insides on my crab meat which is VERY weird. But not to mention the prices are through the roof for bags only to include 1 potatoes and corn and then you have to pay for the rest not worth it.

I had lunch with my mother and daughter today. Mom had snow crab and my daughter and I had oysters. Hers were steamed and mine fried so we could share. The snow crabs were delicious according to a very happy mom. The steamed oysters were perfect, spicy, and delicious. The fried oysters were lightly battered, crisp, crunchy, and delicious. The service was excellent, such nice people! We will be going back. Just wonderful!!!

Food was pretty good. Portions were satisfactory. Could ramp up the flavor of the seasoning. I tried the Big Bang which was more like little bang even tho I got it mild. Food came quick and was hot. Server was sociable. Ambiance was overall nice with music, not so much with annoying kids. Shrimp was delicious, so we're crab legs. There could be a little more description on the menu of items. Good location but a little tight with parking as it's near other stores. Would definitely recommend and would visit again.

Super friendly wait staff always hustling. The waitress worked hard. I will be back to visit to try the King crab legs but this visit I had the catfish and fries. The meal was very hot and served in a reasonably fast. If you have a marker bring it as the thing here is to commemorate your visit by signing an area on thier wall. It had alot of signatures. I am eager to try Cary Crab Shack again soon.

As far as adapting to the difficulties of food service and Covid, this place has it down. They're on time and the order is always accurate. The food (I love the crab/shrimp boil) is always a 9 or 10 out of 10. I highly recommend trying them for takeout, I can't wait for the in house experience once it's safe again.

I was super excited to come here however my expectations were not met. I got the shrimp with head and steamed rice and calamari with fries. I think I got my money's worth with my shrimp. It tasted delicious but had an after weird taste. I'm not sure if that's normal or how it should be but I didn't like that. The restaurant is very casual which I didn't mind at all. Unfortunately customer service was lacking and the experience too was. I may visit in the future and try again and revise my review accordingly.

Came here for my 2nd year anniversary with my boyfriend. It was really good. I like oysters but if the oysters aren’t fresh I won’t eat them. These ones are definitely fresh. There was no fishy taste to them at all. No only that there was so much meat to them. It definitely made up for how much oysters cost. The flavors were there for the shrimp and clams. I love the Cajun spices. The only thing is I think the shrimp was overcooked. When you over cook shrimp the shell tends to stick to the meat and then it’s hard to peel. But the clams were great! Perfectly cooked. I like the squichiness
