    Blue Crab Grill never disappoints! The service was very good, our drinks and food cam quickly to our table, and bother of our entrees were very good. I had the Crab Cake with Pork Ribs, and my husband really enjoyed the Seafood Gumbo over rice. The seafood at Blue crab is consistently excellent at an affordable price. We live nearby and dine there often ,so I can highly recommend this casual restaurant in Suburban Plaza on the west side of Newark.

    Service and food amazing. A bit unassuming in a strip mall, but the food is amazing.

    I’ve been coming to this restaurant for 20yrs and I’ve never had a bad meal or service. It’s still one of my favorite jems in Delaware. The fried oysters, calamari, and cream of crab soup were delicious as always.

    Our first time here. The calamari was one of the best I’ve ever had!! I did order the sauce on the side based on other reviews. Our waitress was lovely. The only bummer was no domestic beer on tap but we will be returning for sure.

    We came with our two kids and had a great experience! They sat us right next to the fish tank and my kids had a nice time watching the fish and being entertained. Our server was very attentive and kind. The only downside was my daughter's meal. She ordered a grilled cheese which she didn't like, no offer for something else was made. Otherwise, our good was delicious and we will definitely be back.

    Blue Crab is a great neighborhood place; very convenient with excellent seafood and other options. The crab imperial special was delicious! Melissa, our server, was very friendly and attentive. She was also training Michael, a new server, who will be a good addition to the staff! We will be back!
