The Surfing Crab Restaurant - Lewes

We checked the surf crab because we were looking for possible AYCE crabs. This place was not disappointed. The crabs were hot, fresh and were a really good size. Some of the best crabs we had in a while. The waiter was hard working friendly and engaged. We will definitely be back when we are in this area.

Omg this is the only place to go for crabs. Absolutely also the best crab cakes and a scream-out to our waiter Cody, who was Top Notch!

Service, food super. Noise level very high. Communicated front, 4 tips at the back. Small bar. for leaf bowls of crabs on the dozen. Many locals.

A beautiful hole in the wall for good crabs. I would recommend calling forward to reserve crabs if that is what you plan to get, they run out quickly. The crabs are quite large, depending on the size and location they came, but larger crabs will inevitably cost more. Although this is an original place, prices are not. Plan to spend money when you eat here. The dining area is picnic table, with little space between them. There are outdoor seats, but the highway runs next to the seats, not ideal for a hot summer day. Our service was friendly and attentive, Tyler was fantastic and very timely with drinks/appearants/crams. We will probably not be regular because of the price, but we will return.

A friend recommended this place to us and it's definitely become one of our regular stops when we visit the area. Highly recommend getting the crab soup. We also tried the freshly steamed, extra large half dozen crabs, which I think is definitely worth it. I'm not personally a fan of blue crab only because of the amount of work for the amount of meat (prefer Dungeness myself , but the extra large makes it more tolerable :
