I get better service in a CVS! We had reservations for 830. We get there and they say the table is getting ready. 20 min later they sit us down at a table that has crab all over it. They did not give us menus when we sat down. When we asked for them to clean our table and to receive menu's the host pouted and took his time. Finally at nine we got up and left. Have fun with that place.

Friendly atmosphere and service. For a place that was full the service was relatively quick too. Tasty food and drinks. Definitely a family oriented place as well. Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" began to play but was quickly switched to a more appropriate song. There were kids there. Very classy. :) The host was all smiles, lighthearted and funny, and quick to seat myself and my family. I'm heading back to The Barking Crab in the future for sure.

I had tuna burger and i didn't like it. The only upside about this place is location.
