Just had an amazing meal and experience here! Wish we would have got the name of the bartender, but he was phenomenal! Had great knowledge about the food, fantastic drinks, and neighborhood conversation. Oh, and thanks for the pastry recommendation! We are now incredibly fat and happy after this excursion!

Food was good server wasn't – We saw the barking crab on man vs food and even though most of the city search reviews were bad we still went. We had Lobster po'boys and they were awesome! Also, the clam chowder was great except for the clam shell my husband bit into (it happens, and the manager apologized and took it off our bill) Our server was efficient but, seemed annoyed the whole time. A tip for savings: Sign up for their emails and within minutes they email a coupon for 20% off.

crab barked too much – I visited this restaurant today with a lot of expectations for a fresh lobster and crab. I ordered a chilled xxx platter as a starter and a fire grilled lobster as a main dish. The meat from both plates had no taste at all, and no sweetness or saltiness to even comment on. It was the worst sea food experience of my life. I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody.

Nice outdoor dining – There is something very enjoyable about being outside in the summer while enjoying a cold beverage and some seafood. The nice thing about the Barking Crab is that it is located in the city and can extend a 'summer experience' for visitors. The food is not of the highest quality but it is good and offers many different types of seafood prepared in many ways. If you like it fried, broiled, grilled or skewered, it is on the menu. They also offer mai tai's and other beverages. It can get quite busy and so b... read more
