The Fat Crab Cafe - Lancaster

Shirmp poboy was delicious,as well as the soft shell crab sandwich and fish tacos. Worth the trip and the money in my opinion. Will be back.Food: 5/5

Stopped in for lunch with my relatives we were pleasantly surprised with how delicious the food was! We all had po boys- shrimp po boys an oyster po boy. We also enjoyed The Crabman Fries. The tar tar sauce they gave for the po boys was AMAZING.Food: 5/5

We started out loving this place. We had some of the best, freshest scallops here that we had anywhere. But the next time, not so much. Fish and chips are just okay, but nothing special. The crab cakes are okay for what they are--no white meat; all claw meat. Portion sizes are average. The sides are definitely a problem. The mac and cheese can best described as gluey and flavorless. The horseradish potato salad sounded good, but wasn't. No horseradish flavor. Canned baked beans. We seriously never had a side here that was decent. I thought everyone could make simple sides. The decor really doesn't matter if the food is very good, but if it's not, I prefer not to eat in a barely heated room in cold weather. Lancaster sure could use good seafood place, but honestly, this is not it. Unimpressed.

Today was our first visit. I had the fish and chips. Both were good but the chips were uniquely great. One recommendation would be to have a two piece option for the fish for those who may not need as much. The place was also basically spotless.Food: 5/5

Been waiting to try this place for a while. Great little place with sit down seafood restaurant and fish market. Definitely worth a stop for lunch or early dinner.
