First they herd you into the restaurant, no prices posted or quoted. They take a complimentary picture that you are told you will receive after your meal. Once we sat down, there was no menu, the waitress then confirmed the prices, but said she would understand if we decided to leave, which I thought was odd. We decided to stay... More

We always eat here in MB. Kids love it. Value for your money isn't great if you have picky kids - ours ate some crab legs and French fries/Mac and cheese. Waitress was great. Restaurant appearance starting to slip.

Fantastic Buffet style restaurant. Don't be put off by the price ($29.95 ages 12 and up). The food is worth it, and so are the endless Crab Legs. There are also coupons in the Hotel Lobby, Supermarkets such as BiLo, Kroger...etc or at some gas stations. Pick up all the coupon books you find. It's worth it. We went back... More

The food was just ok and it wasn't worth almost $70.00 for 2 people. I will not go back. They take your picture before you go in and tell you that you will get a free wallet size. The free picture is not a wallet size, it's so small you can hardly tell if it is you in the picture... More

We actually ate here 2 times we like it so well. They have just ablut everything but Lobster. We got out monies worth in crab legs alone. Good service, clean good value for the $$ and great selections. Highly recommend.

Need more of a variety and the server was a little stingy with the crab legs. Overall not bad I just didn't see much that I wanted to sample. The lightning was a little dim for my taste, wished it was more inviting.

This place has no menu-only buffet. The food was not fresh enough and the price was unbelievable. We felt robbed but still took a picture of the giant crab. Will never go back!

On holiday. Saw the signs on the road, when we saw the giant crab we pulled right in. Very professional, large busy place. Food was $27.00 for adults, $5.00 less for kids. No mention of that anywhere outside. Lots of food, God selection of product, but nothing outstanding. My roast beef was way too raw, and there was an abundance... More

we visited the Giant Crab for the first time last year in August. It was ok. we went here because we were told they had a large selection of foods that would be good for everyone's tast. However the food that they had that would have been appealing to kids looked all dried out and old. the buffet area was... More
