THE ORIGINAL CRAB HOUSE
A Place To Gather With Family, Friends And Great Seafood.
We offer the most delicate dishes made with the seasoning of the heart and experience.
To All Our Valued Guests and Friends
It is with great sadness that we announce the closing of The Original Crab House.
We want to thank all of our great guests and employees for supporting us over these past years.
It was back in 1986 when started at Sunset Sr and Galloway 87av. Then 25 years at 77av and 98th St. It became the “Little hole in the wall” crab house.
We were lucky to welcome hundreds of thousands of guests from many countries and employed many people over Several decades. We are extremely humbled that so many embraced our restaurant and that we were able to succeed as long as we had. We could not have done it without all of you.
A family restaurant, Being at Home was our motto, having friends and family enjoying the Crab Cracking and friendly environment. We will missed that and many memories will remain in our hearts. It was out of our hands.
A light at the end of the tunnel
Many restaurants have closed since COVID and many more will close as many other factors add up. The financial effect will be immeasurable.
Although we are closing our doors today, there may be an opportunity to reopen in the future if the circumstances allow it.
The phone number will remain the same, social and web site will remain open. Please check back for news.
We thank you again, God bless us all.

can't say it enough! After moving to Miami Beach 4 years ago from the DMV, this girl was on the hunttttt for some blue crabs.... Well y'all I finally found me some blue crabs *wipes away happy tears* and they were BOMB! I love all seafood but old bay blue crabs really have a special place in my heart..... like takes me back to my childhood picking crabs for hours type place in my heart! Our server Gustavo was so sweet and even got us all set up by putting our bibs on, what a freakin gem.....

Great Food, Nothing FancyWe were quite surprise when we walked into the restaurant. It had a total of approximately six tables - nothing fancy. They had one server, Luis, who was excellent. The food was really good. So if you want good crabs and seafood, this is where the locals go. Recommend that you get there early as the line gets long very quickly.

We ate here for my birthday dinner, having never been, but chose it based on reviews. We walked in and expected a totally different atmosphere. It's a dive, but I knew the reviews couldn't be wrong. We ate clam chowder, lobster bisque, Cajun shrimp and the dungeoness crab boil. Everything was amazing!! The lobster bisque was by far the best we've ever had. Service was also very attentive. We'll be back for sure!!
