    We were near by and decided to stop by for some crabs. $50 for 2 dozen female crabs. Service was fast, crabs were cooked with cajun seasoning. It was a hit and miss, some were very skinny. But we had a fair amount of the fatter crabs. I will visit again!

    The crabs here were very good. Purchased a half of bushel of large male because females were sold out. The crabs were large and seasoned as asked. I normal purchase my crabs online but this will be my go to spot now.

    Will never return. Paid $30 a dozen for female crabs, ordered 2 dozen. Wasn’t till I drove all the way back home which was 45 mins away Piscataway I noticed we recieved 2 dozen male crabs, toward the end the bottom of bags I also noticed they were light weighted and wasn’t as fresh as the top of bag. Was told to return crabs . Like seriously it was 4:15 pm and the closes at 5. We tossed the remainder of cravs in garbage . We will never come back. Soo sorry this happened because I was a faithful customer over the years.

    This crabs are so fresh and juicy! Omg they give u so many crabs for such a great price! They cook season and steam all of the crabs for u, so all u have to do is get to EATTING! I believe I ordered a half bushel and it comes with 5 dozen crabs for 100 dollars or so❤️❤️ this is a photo of our box after we couldn’t eat anymore!

    This is our go to place for crabs and it’s just conveniently located and easy to get to from Morris Plains. Blue crabs are usually a summer time thing for us, but my daughter wanted some for her birthday weekend, January 9th. Bought a dozen large (#1) and a dozen jumbo. They were amazing - heavy and meaty!! Took the chill right out of us and made us think of summer. Love the staff too! So nice and pleasant!!

    We bought some crabs, crawfish, and shrimp and had the crawfish steamed. They gave us seasoning on the side since we let them know we didn't want seasoning on them. Quality is excellent and price is as expected for the food you're getting. Felt a little rushed when buying though there were no other customers. Picture below of crawfish and shrimp was after we seasoned them before cooking at home.

    I've been coming to this place since I was a child with my parents who are no longer here with me. I only speak for myself when I say I've never gotten any bad crab from this place. The staff is nice and friendly. I feel like I'm family once I walk into this establishment.

    This is our go to place for special events because they are the best! Service is usually fast and the crabs, crawfish and shrimp are steamed to perfection, seasoning is always as requested whether it's on the side or added to the order. I also love that they're open seven days a week.

    Please check your crabs before you leave the store...Go through your whole box or bag...I paid for large male crabs...it was all large on the top but at the bottom they was female medium crabs....but imma try them again and take my own advice next time...but other then that they was delicious

    Amazing Crabs! Friendly Service! We were greeted at the door right away by a nice woman who took our order and let us know when we were able to go inside and pay. (Due to Covid they are only allowing 5 people inside at a time, we appreciate them taking proper precautions) I was worried they would be all out of Large Male blue claws but they still had plenty at 2-3pm! All arrived home alive and ready to go into the pot!

    My go to place for fresh snow crabs. We had a large family event and Crab Palace came through for us with 3 boxes of delicious super fresh seafood. It was a hit with our fam and friends and will definitely order from here again for our next big event!!

    I am a foodie, I’m a critic, and rarely review.. it usually hurts businesses … but in this case, my hands are tied and I have nothing but ear to ear sentiments after eating 3 different sized male/female crabs… (I BUY LIVE CRAB ONLY) scoured everything inside andout. FRESH, DELICIOUS, GOING BACK FOR MORE. This was based on one experience but I suspect this will be the standard. I live in North Jersey where people appreciate quality, and I can tell you that a “crab palace 3” right by me would make a killing.(I have a spot :)) Hope they reach out to me after this post because I’d love to help make them a go to name for crab.

    They’re the best in my book. Fresh, true to size,decent pricing) and their seasoning is better than Old Bay. I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad crab from there! Just wish they would extend their hours

    The food here is absolutely amazing!! The seasoning they put on crabs made me want more and more. The service is excellent and the staff is polite! Definitely worth every penny!!

    Stopped by this place last week and loaded up on fresh crabs and fresh shrimp for a family gathering. Great quality and great service. Will definitely be back soon!

    Don't buy! Bought blue crabs for New Year's and they were completely full of sand, couldn't eat them. Males, 3 dozens, horrible to say the least.

    Pleasantly delighted. The crabs were delicious. Nice size and big on flavor. Staff was friendly. I thought the prices were a bit much, but well worth it! They offer a variety of choices to purchase. On site parking available. I will definitely return.

    No Thank You, I will never come back to this store or the other one. $50 for large (not so large) male that were hollow. I will stick to getting crabs when I go to Maryland. This place large crab is Marylands’s small.

    I have been coming to Crab Palace for at least 20-30 years. When I lived in Westchester county New York I would come up. I now live in Plainfield And I consider it a pleasure to come and get some of the best crabs in the state of New Jersey and perhaps New York. Peace
