We went directly in without a wait. I think we happened to be there at the right time. The service was great, the selection of beer and wine was large. The food was really good. I had the soft shell crab dinner which was cooked to perfection. The crabs were cooked crisp and were decent sized. The food is expensive, but so is everything in todays world.

We ate here twice during our stay in Reedville. The food and service were amazing both times. Can't beat the on-the-water location. Many of the other patrons appeared to be locals, which is always a good sign for a restaurant. I highly recommend!

The food was amazingly fresh and seasoned perfectly! The hush puppies are giant deep-fried balls of goodness. The staff are friendly and cheerful. Made our vacation just a bit more fantastic.

Great place for food and drinks. Excellent staff and the owners went out of their way to accommodate us during our over night stay. Slip fee is very reasonable (1.50/FT and 30 amp service for an additional 7. 50 amp is available too). The bathrooms are nothing fancy but they are available with showers. They do have gas (non-ethenol) and diesel available.The town of Reedville is quaint with some beautiful older Victorian homes and a fisherman's museum. There is another restaurant within walking distance. We will definitely visit here again.

Dinner was delicious. Glad we made a 5pm reservation, as the restaurant filled shortly after our arrival. Staff was courteous, kind and prompt. Food was DELICIOUS!I had pan seared scallops, the boys got flounder and blackened chicken Alfredo. We all left full and happy :) will definitely be back.

What a delightful restaurant. Everyone was friendly and the food was amazing, from the onion rings and hush puppies to the main reason we went...the crab dip appetizer, ...the crab cake with almost no filler, and one of the daily specials was mahi tacos with nice size pieces of tuna in each taco. They also had the choice of shrimp or oyster tacos.My only complaint is that I was too full to go get ice cream down the street. My one suggestion would be to have a sampler platter of all three tacos as it was so hard to decide which one to choose. I think they were reasonably priced, and the wonderful view of the water as we ate made lunch even better. The owner had his own playlist on the speakers which was disappointing as I was hoping to learn a new Spotify channel. We will be back.

Omg! Everything was amazing. Warm and friendly. You must make a trip to Reedville to come to the Crazy Crab. Our server Elle was simply delightful and knew the menu inside out. Every bite was simply sinful. We will definitely be back soon!!

The view is stunning! Reedsville, a small fishing town in Northern Neck, is alive with history. Beautiful old houses line the road to the water. And the restaurant at the end of your journey is well worth the trip! The Crazy Crab has great, fresh seafood and, did I mention the VIEW??Crab Cakes were the bomb and the Butter Beans were even better! You can't go wrong with anything you order and the owner will make sure of that! Worth the trip from anywhere!!!!
