Crabby Al's Seafood - Thomaston

I use to be a regular here coming at least 5-6x/week, for 4 years straight. It was where I went to grab a cold beer relax after work, literally almost every single day. It was my second home. I brought friends my significant other in to support the business hangout on live band nights. The drinks are great fairly priced and the food was always amazing. Sadly I’ll be giving it a one star simply for the actions behavior of the waitstaff.Never have I went somewhere being treated so horribly after YEARS of being a regular. This doesn’t count for all the waitstaff, there’s a good handful that I still respect always offered amazing service with a friendly attitude. However a good majority of the bartenders think they run the place. There was an incident where another regular was complaining of me smelling like marijuana, and the bartenders took it onto themselves to scold me my lady in front of everyone else which those same regulars complain about literally everything like the lights being too bright the live band being too loud, to the point where the bartenders immediately turn the lights down for them the second they walk in the door). Yes I smoke marijuana which is 100% legal, it’s no one else’s business what I do on my own time. That shouldn’t even be a complaint especially with all the things I’ve witnessed over the years.When the issue of my marijuana use was brought up, I simply brought up other things they should be concerned about, like the sexual harassment going on from customers to others and even to certain staff the disgusting comments other older regulars make towards people, the coke ? use in the men’s bathroom on multiple occasions that I’ve witnessed when brought up was said that it’s fine that it’s done because it’s done in a stall away from people) Yes, the bartender literally said that to me. Yet my legal substance has become a problem even though waitstaff regulars have gone out for cigarettes come back smelling like it. I’ve witnessed people driving home drunk after being served way too many drinks, etc. Yet I’m the one who is impaired..There’s a lot that goes on here that would surprise people the fact that I got reprimanded over marijuana really irks me. Not once have I ever complained of anything mentioned above, I simply had my beer minded my business. I’m an adult that is doing something 100% legal not once did the manager ever say something to me. It always came from the bartenders which in my opinion, is way above their pay grade seeing something they also like to complain about is what people tip them.The food drinks are Amazing here, just definitely not a place I’d ever bring a child to considering the other kinds of stuff being done them not caring about it when brought up. There is absolutely no need to be telling someone what they can can’t do on their OWN time, especially when it’s legal. The attitude with the waitstaff needs to change before ever stepping foot in this place again. There have been other reviews left saying they cater to certain people, thats definitely true. Good food drinks don’t mean a single thing if the service is complete ****. Kid-friendliness: Absloutly not

Always love the food! Jess is our favorite waitress ever!

Excellent food and generous portions. Prime rib was cooked exactly as requested. Relaxed atmosphere and excellent service. First time here, but will not be the last

It is quite busy, and a little slow on service but besides that it’s THE BEST FOOD EVER!! We go to so many places and this is the best we’ve had in a while, the cheesecake is the best ever only 5 dollars! That’s the best price. I could say best cheesecake and food I’ve ever had.

Food is excellent. Will eat here every chance I get. Only complaint is the waitresses don't write anything down and they always serve someone the wrong dish. Luckily I like everything there. I think next time I will just tell their waitress to surprise me like last night. Ihad lobster stuffed shrimp....she remembered I wanted French fries but didn't think it was because I ordered fried shrimp. But lobster stuffed was perfect!!!
