The Surfing Crab Restaurant - Lewes

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!

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 :

Amazing service and the food was great! We literally searched the entire day for AYCE and we found this beautiful gem! The crabs were hot and the shrimp was delicious! We had to tell them to stop bringing more crabs lol! DEFINITE must visit again. Ask for Sonia!

My family dined at the Surfing Crab last evening. I have been there multiple times and it has always been delicious. Last night exceeded my expectations. Even though they were very busy, the food was nothing less than amazing. The waiters and waitresses were hustling….many trays of the best crabs you’ve ever tasted were being delivered to tables. The crab imperial dip is out of this world. This is a special place and my pick for the number one restaurant in the Lewes/Rehoboth area.
