This is a great little local spot with some of the best crab cakes I’ve had in a long time. They’re full of real crab meat, nicely seasoned, and cooked just right — crispy on the outside and tender inside. You can tell they care about the quality of the food.
The staff is friendly and welcoming, which really adds to the experience. It’s a small place with a comfortable, relaxed vibe. If you’re in the area and enjoy crab cakes, this place is definitely worth a try.

We came and ordered takeout -- jumbo lump crab cake, softshell crab sandwich, and cream of crab soup. Everything was prepared and packed promptly and we liked all the dishes. The cream of crab soup had a lot of lump crab meat and the crab cakes were similarly just about only crab meat. It's a small restaurant, primarily for takeout, but there are a few tables outside.

*2025 update: stopped by during my trip to OC again this year and the food was still just as delicious. Fried oysters are an absolute must and just as tasty as I remembered from my visit last year
Stopped by this establishment for some lunch before leaving OC and am super glad I did. Ordered the fried oysters and the soft shell crab sandwich for takeout. The fried oysters were some of the most plump and delicious fried oysters I've ever had and the cocktail sauce that came along with it was very flavorful without overpowering the oysters. The soft shell crab sandwich with crabcake was also packed with meat. The owner was very pleasant and I could tell they care deeply about their food in conversation!
