Oh My Crab
Oh My Crab stands out for fresh, flavorful seafood boils, especially the Oh My Crab special with three sauces and customizable spice levels, plus lobster tails and hush puppies with a memorable dipping sauce. Guests love the cute, relaxing atmosphere, hands-on “bags of goodness,” friendly service, kid-friendly dining, and BYOB policy—great for groups and families. Service can occasionally be slow, and one guest found the restaurant uncomfortably hot.

“Not only was it delicious, but it was fun to eat. Two bags of goodness and most of it was on our hands and face.”
“Absolutely enjoyed myself here. The food was amazing. The raw oysters tasted better than any fine dining I’ve ever been to. Very fresh. The garlic noodles are a must have. Portion was enough for 2 people. I ordered the crab legs, muscles, shrimp and broccoli w/ Cajun seasoning and mild heat level. I devoured it! The muscles were delicious. The staff were super sweet. The only thing I would work on, and it’s just a bit. Is attending to the customer a bit more often. At times I had to flag someone to bring napkins or water. I will definitely be back”
“We were traveling from Clearwater, MN to the Delaware beaches and chose this stop for dinner on our travels. We give it a 10/10! Super excited our expectations. Seafood was fresh, well prepared and we considered it a new and fun experience. We eat fresh seafood often since we live at the beach and wish we had an Oh My Crab near us. They were kid friendly and BYOB was also a HUGE bonus!!!”

“BEST SEAFOOD BOIL IN THE CITY and I mean it. I’ve tried more than my fair share of seafood boils in the Chicagoland area. I must say, there is always something that makes or breaks the meal. Whether it’s the vibe. The freshness and quality of the seafood. Or the biggest factor for me, the price. Oh my Crab definitely blew all of my expectations out of the water. The seafood boil was fresh and flavorful. The hush puppies came with a very intriguing sauce, one that makes you want to come back the next day for more. Each of the servers were very nice, treat my friend and I with kindness. Overall I would rate this a 10/10 seafood boils spot ! Definitely worth it if you’re looking to satisfy your boil cravings without breaking the bank!!”
