Review Crab Shack - Teignmouth

Lauren Benham

Went for my husband birthday meal, both food and service were excellent. These guys really know how to treat gorgeous seafood produce! We ate late so the restaurant was quieter which is the only reason for rating atmosphere 4 as it's beautifully done inside, really modern Mediterranean feel which compliments the menu and wine perfectly. Highly recommend.

The Crab Shack is a small yet gorgeous restaurant overlooking the back beach at Teignmouth. We were not sure what to get after looking at the menu, until the waitress reeled off the catch of the day. Monkfish on Bombay potatoes in a madras sauce. It's one of the best meals I've ever had. The service was attentive, polite and efficient, whilst the food was another level. The ambiance and atmosphere of the restaurant was lovely. Despite being a very small place, you don't feel crammed in or too close to any other customers, which only adds to the experience. A lovely range of wines and Super Bock beer, which is one of my favourites but rarely seen in the UK. A lovely cheeseboard for dessert topped off the night. An absolutely superb evening to celebrate popping the question to my girlfriend hours before on our weekend away in Devon. Can't wait to go back and enjoy their beautiful food once again. Due to the size of the restaurant I would highly recommend booking a table if you are interested in visiting.

Great food, the muscles were amazing, skate was really excellent as the fish of the day The best place for fish in the Torbay South Devon area I have found so far The location was really pleasant by the estuary Would recommend making a detour to eat here

A great lunch to celebrate our anniversary. We booked ahead (£20 holding charge) to secure a lovely table on the front porch of the restaurant so that our dog could join us. We arrived slightly late for our reservation and called ahead to let them know we were running a bit late. We ordered one hot seafood platter for one person, and one Le Fruits de Mer (cold seafood on ice) for one person. We weren't disappointed! We had a nice selection of fresh seafood and accompanying sauces for both platters. The staff were kind, friendly and attentive making sure we had an extra side table for additional space and clearing up shell buckets and replacing them with clean ones. They also kindly gave us two complimentary glasses of prosecco to celebrate the occasion. We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, the music and chilled seaside vibes were just what we wanted to enjoy our lunch and they didn't rush us out even though we stayed past our allocated seating time. Highly recommended if you're looking for the option for both cold and hot seafood platters and well worth the trip for us from Plymouth where we were staying.

We ate at The Crab Shack on the Beach on 29Sep22 for my husband's birthday, and it was great. We had a lovely table by the window looking out down the estuary and across to Shaldon. We ate mussels to start, and dressed crab for main, both of which were delicious, and the service was fab, really friendly and welcoming. Thank you so much.

We had an amazing lunch here, staff were very friendly, wine was delicious…… planning on coming back to stay in Teignmouth for the night so we can enjoy the food and wine again. Definitely a top restaurant for fish

We ordered the La Royale Platter for 4 and we were amazed by the quality. It's fresh, presented in a 2 tier stand, and accompanied by 6 different dipping sauces. Best one I would recommend is the grilled scallops, grilled lobster, and the little springwater prawns.

I was on holiday in Dawlish with my family and looking for a seafood restaurant nearby , I found one on the website. I ordered hot platter, was not disappointed, it was delicious. I've never had seafood that's as delicious as here before. I will go back again

Wow that was out of this world!! Had the Hot Seafood Platter and a Crab Shack roll and it was all heavenly. I would return for the Crab Shack Roll as often as I could. All served from a small place on the harbour edge, but with excellent service. We had to risk sitting outside as we called about 25 mins from arriving, but they looked after us really well. A fantastic meal to end our holiday on, thank you
