looking for delicious real seafood??? Crabby Dicks!

we were so disappointed in the dining in reboth beach area that we stopped here as a last ditched effort when we were leaving. I WISH WE CAME HERE FIRST!!!! they have some of the best seafood i have ever had! the balls were delicious, the crabcakes were phenomenal, the bisque was delicious - even the fries were yummy!!! definitely stop here - the BEST food in the area!





looking for delicious real seafood??? Crabby Dicks!


Where is it located and what were the prices like?



looking for delicious real seafood??? Crabby Dicks!


it%26#39;s on route 1, north of town.





i%26#39;ve never eaten there.....the vulgar ';double entendres'; turn me off, as they do many people. there was such a hub-bub in the cape gazette, people writing letters to the editor objecting to their roadside signs, you wouldn%26#39;t believe! when i drove past it in july, i noticed the sign didn%26#39;t seem to contain any vulgarities, for a change...




I have to tell you that i, too was very turned off by the signs posted - just references about their crab ';balls'; instead of caked - a novelty for them. but i tell you the food is SO worth it - and we weren%26#39;t offended by anyone or anything inside - my husband and my 2 kids, 6 and 9 were also equally inpressed. they had crayons to color on the brown paper table and they gave us a bucket of popcorn when we sat down. the waitress was extremely nice and helpful, too. where was it? let me get out a map -

4534 hwy 1, rehoboth, de and another opened in delaware city, de - see website and good eatin%26#39;!




i believe the ';original'; one is in fells point, in baltimore MD....





now, crab balls are NOT the same thing as crab cakes exactly...that%26#39;s a legit thing....but this particular place made a real effort to, um, exploit the name in a way that some of us find offensive. and other things as well.





nonetheless, glad you enjoyed it and i just hope they keep it toned down.




oh...forgot to say... where the heck did you EAT that you were so disappointed?





i think there%26#39;s plenty of GREAT food in rehoboth!




Just got to say, I agree w/ ';dogmom'; - lots of great family type places to eat. We recently returned from Rehoboth- very pleaced w/ DosLocos, Arenas, Nicola Pizza, and Dogfish Head (although this one is more of a bar atmosphere).



We%26#39;ll be sure to try Crabby Dicks next time around- we did see it, noticed the play-on words, weren%26#39;t sure.



Also a tip for next time- pick up a copy of the Rehoboth Beach Main Street discount book at the convention center. Lots of great legitimate coupons that you won%26#39;t find other places.
