Family with 4 kids tried for the first time & LOVED it!! My husband wanted the typical Snow crab/Shrimp Boil (which he said was Awesome!), but Me & my daughter don’t care for seafood ... They have other choices, she had chicken wings with fries, I had Chicken Nuggets/Cheese Grits/Hushpuppies, and none of it had that “hint” of seafood to it.... thankfully lol

Wife and I stopped for lunch had shrimp boil in garlic parmesan, included 3 potatoes, 2 boiled eggs, sausage, brocolli, and and order of red beans and rice. Food quality and service was excellent. Atmosphere was casual and relaxed. Dining area was clean and comfortable. Our server, Dianna, was a real peach and very conversational explaining that their operation was family owned and customer centered. We will go back soon for sure.

I would have never expected the option in Lebanon. And it was great! They had AYCE crab legs today so some in our party took advantage of that. They said they were delicious. A couple of us had the fried fish plate and the crab cake dinner. We were pleased as well. The fish was very fresh and fried perfectly. The waitress was kicking it serving multiple tables by herself and she didn't miss a beat. She was very friendly and could work at a 5 star restaurant easily. Another terrific first experience

LEBANON'S BEST KEPT SECRET. This restaurant is so inviting, the owner & staff are always pleasant, the atmosphere is wholesome and the food is amazing. I have never dined in but I have always ordered to go & the food is cooked to perfection. The Catfish is fried perfectly, the boil bag my son loves. The price point when it comes to seafood is great. 10 out 10 would definitely recommend !!

One of my favorite places to go to in Lebanon. I love the shrimp and grits. It is delicious. My family loves the fried catfish. And the all you can eat. Shrimp and crab legs are definitely tempting.

This place was fantastic! A nice "hole in the wall" feel. The sauce in the bottom of the pan was the winner. It's so good to dip the meat you crack out in that sauce. The crab cake was also better than I expected. Typically not a big fan of ...

The Crad Shack is family owned. Mama D is an encredible hostess. The catfish is great. The ocra is also very good. The breading is perfect on both. It's not too salty, which would be no go for me. The atmosphere is laid back. I'll definitely come back.

Came here tonight for my birthday dinner and it was absolutely amazing. The all you can eat crab legs is well worth the 40. Our server was on top of all refills on drinks and our next round of crab before we could even get one fully ate. Very favorable seasoning and the side items were amazing as well. Definitely the best crab restaurant around!
