Hands down the best clam chowder on the fisherman's wharf! The service was amazing our service was so attentive and kind. There is so many people enjoying the food and it is well worth a visit
This place is definitely five stars. We have tried every restaurant on the wharf and we are lifelong residence. The food was amazing a great variety, hot temperatures amazing service and the ambience could not be any better on the water!
Tried Crabby Jim's Seafood on the pier, and it was a great experience! I ordered the Best of the West Clam Chowder in a bread bowl and added the garlic lid, such a good choice. The chowder was absolutely exquisite, rich, and flavorful, and the garlic lid added a nice touch. The restaurant has beautiful ocean views, and I got lucky with a window seat, which made the experience even better. The service was great, and the food came out quickly. If you're looking for a delicious bowl of clam chowder with a scenic view, Crabby Jim's is definitely worth a visit!
Got a cup of clam chowder with crab meat (this was really good and large in size for just a "cup") and an order of garlic bread which is a full size loaf on the dinner menu (enough for a family of 4). Also got complimentary fried calamari, which was delicious but unnecessary. The bill was high, mainly cuz you pay a premium for anything with crab here and of course that family-sized loaf of garlic bread. But, whoa, a diet soda for $5... yikes. It's fine though, the waitstaff and servers were super friendly and helpful, refilling my soda without me having to ask, and attentive to guests' needs. There was no wait to be seated and hardly a wait for the food to be ready. Seating is awesome here too, the tables along the windows with views looking out into the water. I could watch the lighted boat parade while dining here this past Sunday. My only gripe about this place was the worker outside the entrance constantly yelling at passersby, in a forceful effort to gain customers. Honestly, I was already gonna come here, but that almost drove me away, it was a little annoying, and she was borderline rude. Besides that, I think this is a decent seafood restaurant on the wharf.
