The Best Crab Restaurants Near Me in Staten Island, New York

"Came here for a long weekend lunch and decided to splurge and ordered their Endless Menu for 3 of us. Food was so delicious, and we got to try so many things. My mom is vegetarian, and she ordered the quinoa salad with beets and some vegetarian-friendly appetizers. They were just as delicious and so fresh. We were stuffed to the brim with seafood, and we were given complimentary tea at the end. The staff was so accommodating and friendly. I’ve tried many restaurants in this area, and this restaurant is one of the few restaurants that I would come back for. Such a gem! Looking forward to next time :)"

"Stopped in on a whim looking for a nice fish dinner. We were pleasantly surprised everything was amazing!! The food and service was top notch. We order the fish mixed plate for 2. So much food!! It was delicious. They even gave us complementary Turkish tea and bake Halva which I really enjoyed! We will definitely be back. Thanks to the owners for making it a great dining experience."

"Dining at Sapori feels like being welcomed into a bustling Italian family kitchen, the staff greets you with genuine warmth, and the food is nothing short of spectacular. From the mussels in white sauce, Pasta E Fagioli and Linguine Frutta di Mare the food is delicious. By the end of the meal, you’ll feel not just satisfied, but already thinking of your next visit."

"Not sure if today is mother's day not enough ingredients or chef has changed. We ordered a picked up during lunch and noticed Fettuccine Bolognese and Linguine Frutta di Mare were totally failed to meet their quality standards like it used to be. Very disappointed. Both lacking sauce especially Fettuccine Bolognese, even worse. Their homemade linguine texture absolutely different today. Didn't taste like a chewy texture at all but like a think cut from lasagna sheets. Just lose a customer."

"Absolutely delicious seafood flavors and crab! This location is in the mall with its own entrance to the outside. Very clean and artistically decorated with an ocean theme and decor. There's a giant wall screen for projector viewing and windows to see the mall traffic. There are plenty of tables covered with paper you can draw on or dispose of - great for families with small children to color. The menu prices were affordable and right in line, if not better than similar restaurants offering seafood options. We ordered the kids chicken tenders, nuggets, fries, Shirley temples, lemonade, crab legs shrimp combo, and catfish. Everything was perfectly seasoned, hot, and tasted fresh. We also tried their molten chocolate cake with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. 😋 Our server was attentive and helpful. And our party of five fit comfortably in the round booth. Definitely recommend trying the Mighty Crab Staten Island."

"Came in at a quiet time, and the atmosphere was good. Good food, wonderful service. Shout out to Alex for making our visit memorable."

"I came here for my anniversary dinner with hubby and we loved it! The food was delicious, the service was on point, and it was a nice looking place. The Octopus was delicious and the lobster bisque was excellent! We also got this cheese and fig dish that came out on fire and that was a very pleasant (and tasty) surprise! For the main course, we split the baked wild cod with fingerling potatoes and it was a great choice! And for dessert, we got some Greek dessert type with a flaky crust and cheese, which was good (and quite large!) Oh yes, the drinks here were so good! We had the caramel macchiato espresso martini, which we loved!! And a couple more yummy cocktails, too! The bartender was super nice and came around to get our order and give our drinks and make sure we were satisfied. The only thing that I didn't love was the veggie chips (thought they were too oily). Our first time here and we will definitely be back!"

"This is a hidden gem with great service, beautiful atmosphere/ambiance inside, and even better food. We have come here to eat a few times now and it has become a family favorite. Every appetizer and every meal we’ve tried has been excellent. I truly think this is underrated and perhaps an undiscovered SI restaurant because of its location. Give it a try, you won’t regret it!! I recommend the Hawaiian Grouper, Branzino, Chilean Sea Bass and for appetizers the veggie chips, fish tacos…you can’t go wrong with any of the apps :)"

"If you love lobster, this is the place to be. Everything was extremelyfresh. we especially enjoyed the salt and pepper, fried lobster and raw oysters. Everything else was at least eight out of 10. The flat iron steaks spicy blue crab was 9 out of 10. The service was outstanding. I’m glad I don’t live close to here because I’ll gain 100 pounds. Overall this was a wonderful experience. I’m glad that I came."

"Went here with friends and the host was really helpful. He was very accommodating and made sure we were comfortable and had enough room for our motorized chairs. Since we were new, he explained the contactless buffet and how the menu worked. He combined two tables and left garbage cans to throw our trash away which was nice. The food was hot and beyond delicious. Staff was attentive and food kept coming: Seafood, chicken, fish, steak, rice...just yummi. Even the water was good. Only thing missing was dessert, but since we were in Coney Island, we had options. Yes, the price tag was high but its worth it ($90 seafood, $135 to include lobster) with a 2 hr time limit (it's more than enough). Will definitely visit again. 😋❤️"

"Such a cute local Staten Island gem!! First off so surprised to know we had this book spot opened for the past 5 years. The wings delicious and $7.99!! Had the garlic flavor with a side of honey mustard 👌🏾!! Then also had the ramen added some eel sauce (needed a little extra flavor) but super hardy. and finished with a build your own seafood boil with the wild crab sauce (a little salty, but filled with flavor)"

"Stop trying to make your little restaurant look good because you know when I called the first time you hung up in my face Being mad rude and then I called back ,it’s up to me to decide what I wanna order you talking about some $20. I spent 5 times that in that bland establishment I get the whole restaurant thing is about Image, but the truth would be nice Nobody threatened to give y’all a bad review. I just gave y’all a bad review because of how I felt when you hung up the phone in my face. It’s mostly about customer service when you running a business you don’t get mad at a customer because they don’t want to spend what you want them to spend and if that was the case don’t take delivery orders go work in the back."

"Michaela was our server and she was 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️’s. This place we walked in on a whim and were really happy we did. The all you can eat lunch did not disappoint. Will be back again. Thanks hook & reel"

"The second we walked in the manager Anthony instantly became family he was beyond friendly and welcoming, Our server Moe was truly the best and on his A Game! Their prices are great and the food was sooo fresh and unbelievable delicious!! I am definitely coming here and bringing my off the boat parents to eat here they will feel like they eating fresh seafood right out of the ocean!!!! The size of the seafood is definitely not cheap!!! Make sure you come starving cause you definitely won't stop and cant stop eating!!"

"A very nice lunch with an old friend at Cole’s Dockside in Great Kills. We started with Paper Airplanes (bourbon, Amaro Averna & lemon juice) We shared the eggplant rollatini as an appetizer. For mains, she had the blackened mahi mahi and I had the filet of sole Francese. Too bad the weather wasn’t better! The view would have been incredible."

"Coles is nice on a summers day. Good views of a marina and yachts for sale. The vibe was alive with people having a good time. There's a nice menu with plenty of seafood and landlubber items. A great coffee menu also"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our family loved dining at Joe's Lobster House in Tottenville! The nautical theme kept the kids entertained, and the staff were exceptionally welcoming. The seafood was fresh and flavorful—the fried platter (shrimp, clams, oysters) was a hit with everyone, and the garlic bread was irresistible. Generous portions arrived hot, and the team handled our busy table with patience. Perfect spot for a relaxed yet memorable family meal. We’ll definitely return!"

"Phenomenal lunch experience at Lobster House Joe's! Had an incredible lunch with my family. The service was truly exceptional--our server, Grace, was amazing! She was so warm , attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. We tried a little bit of everything--pasta, seafood, steak sandwich-and everything was absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, the flavors were spot on, and to top it off, the prices were very reasonable. Great food, fantastic service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back again soon!"

"This staple restaurant is a classic in Staten Island. Came to the tiki bar to sit outside and catch the breeze. Our waitress (wish I remembered her name) was super friendly gave great recommendations and followed through with checkups. We started with calamari (a little cold) and the lobster and carb sliders (no food presentation) then ordered the tuna steak and salmon, they were cooked well and taste was good, they were able to substitute the sides. I didn’t like the paper plates and plastic cup service. This is a tiki bar so there was a crowd on the younger side but played the music at a decent volume for patrons to hear one another during dinner."

"Came here for your typical Saturday early dinner vibes was told no menu substitutions on the weekend, so I didn’t order food as I couldn’t get my regular order, so instead ordered a side of fries, another person at the table asked for a side of honey mustard was told to use the one in another plate that is on the table. My waitress was absolutely not helpful accommodating or recommending. Also the bus boys have no idea what is going on or what table the food is going to, had to get their attention after circling the area with our food to let him know it was ours. Pretty disappointing as this is typically my go to spot for nice days unsure if I will be returning again. Also had a gluten free person with our group, no other options other than salad I mean get with the times."

"Had a great experience at this lobster house today. The crab cakes were excellent—crispy on the outside and packed with flavor. The steamers were solid, and the lobster bisque was absolutely fantastic—rich, creamy, and loaded with lobster. The interior of the place is beautiful, giving off a warm, coastal vibe. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area!"

"I love this place and was surprised that there weren't more than a few people dining there on a Sunday. We had the flounder oregenata, which comes with a generous side of pasta, and the crab balls, which were filled with crab meat. Very yummy."

"The place is clean and prices for fresh seafood is fair. The staff are friendly and inviting. However, I tried their 2pc fried whiting, 2pc crab stick, and 5 pc shrimp with seasoned french fries (order #19) today and I was NOT impressed with the flavor and batter used to cook it in. The batter was very breaded and unseasoned for the seafood. I was not a fan of it. It taste very bland. They should offer a selection of batter options to cook it in such as plain flour, tempura, fish fry, cajun, etc. At least they could have added a dash of salt and pepper to the seafood prior to frying it. I would go back to purchase fresh seafood to cook myself but not to buy it prepared 😩."

"Tried this place and not bad seasoning was on point and portions where pretty good the place is clean and service is good. Out of the 3 places on the island that makes fish fry this is the best hands down fish is nice flavorful moist"
