About this business

Key West meets Boston at Barking Crab Restaurant. Boaters relaxing on the Boston Harbor Cruises can dock out here while land lovers can use the front entrance.

Driven here twice during regular hours just for them to be closed. With no notice, no posting on their Facebook, nothing. So I started calling ahead rather than make the drive...it's an hour away with no parking. Costs too much to just pop on over to check. And no one EVER answers the phone. I've called on numerous days. Different days of the week too. I used to love this restaurant but it's clearly being poorly run!

Arrived with a friend travelling from Hong Kong. We were seated immediately, bad part the table was dirty and needed to be wiped down, no big deal something that could be handled swiftly and an apology.. I asked a server if the table could be wiped down and he acted like I just asked him for a million dollars. Then original waiter come over and I again asked if the table could be wiped down, rather than quickly wipe down the table, he asked we wanted to be seated across from us at a table for six people. First time ever seat... read more

"Naked" lobster roll with drawn butter was tiny for $30...felt ripped off and mentioned it to the server. The lobster bisque was quite good. Kids meal of chicken fingers was 4 small pieces, over cooked and $9. Tourist prices. Service was okay, but place was quite empty at the time...not what I remember one of my former favorite places being...still okay to good, but too expensive for what you get...
