On the good side, the service was prompt and food was quite good. I particularly liked my roast beef. My wife, an oenophile, didnât have high expectations, but she ordered a second glass of their house red, something she rarely does in this sort of establishment.While I recognize it is a sports bar (even though there are only six TVs), the noise level was very high, coming not from fans but from patrons whose favorite means of communications seemed to be a yell.

We were told there was a way to 20 minutes and we were seated within 15 minutes. Our server Jada was excellent. She was very attentive and baby friendly. All of us had the flows fillets and they were all properly cooked. The baby had macaroni and cheese which she enjoyed. This is definitely our favorite place for fillets and would recommend for families.

My spouse had the coconut shrimp, one of the few non-garlic, non-spicy items on the menu and I had the catfish and chicken jambalaya. Her's was 6 large shrimp accompanied with mashed sweet potatoes and hush puppies; my catfish was lightly bread and deep fried to a moist perfection. The chicken jambalaya was also moist with vegetables and lightly season; great meals. A lot of food and some left overs for take away. To full for dessert. The only thing was that there were 6 medium size shrimp for $26; a bit overpriced for that size shrimp.

Chopped steak that is actually chopped, cheese mixed into the steak, and literally shoveled onto the bread. These cheesesteaks are two meals on their own. Some people would call it a hole in the wall, a small footprint that is a grill, one cold cut cabinet, a couple drink refrigerators and space for four or five people to wait.It's out of the way. There's no reason to go to Salem and this is south, beyond Salem. But Seagraves gives you a reason to go through Salem to get some great cheesesteaks.

Our party of four stopped in for dinner on a Saturday evening. We were two couples, one of whom had been here several times before as they are somewhat local. We had a very brief wait, then were seated. The atmosphere is typically pub style and they do brew on site. Our waitress was quick with the menus which were on a clip board and the specials were prominent. As it is very close to St. Patrick's Day, they were offering Irish specialties and brews in addition to their regular menu. We ordered our beverages; a round of beer, coke, water, and a Sazerac cocktail. I had the Sazerac. It was quite good. At $8.00, it wasn't badly priced either. Our server took our dinner selections; Winter Squash Bisque, 3 orders of the Smoked Brisket Special, Onion Rings, and Bangers and Mash. The Bangers were part of the specialty menu for St. Paddy's Day. There were no complimentary bread or chips to snack while we waited or any salad course with dinner. Everything was a la carte. One person ordered the soup starter as they had had it before, knew what to expect and said it was delicious. Dinner arrived promptly. Everyone tucked in. My 2 bangers were nicely cooked, served on a bed of mashed potatoes with a beefy onion gravy and a helping of cooked carrots. The plate was decorated with a rosemary sprig and a pretty purple orchid. I enjoyed it immensely. My husband and our friends had well portioned sandwiches and fries and extra order of onion rings. No one had room for dessert or coffee. Our waitress was efficient and pleasant. The food was good. I just wish we lived closer.Thank you for your kind words. We're pleased that you had an enjoyable evening with us and hope we see you again next time you're in the area!

You never can tell about a historic restaurant. Some rely on the historic draw to get diners in the door and fall short on the food quality, but my wife and I were surprised how good the food was. We started with the wild mushroom flatbread. Their version of wild mushrooms is vastly different than mine. These were merely white mushrooms but were pretty good with the garlic oil and bread. My wife ordered the shepherds pie and boy were we glad we didn't order any other entrees. The pie was huge and delicious. The gravy was poured over a mound of rich beef and lots of mashed potatoes. The gravy tasted like the real-deal homemade overnight stock type of gravy. We couldn't quite finish the whole thing and still have room for dessert. Our waitress Shannon was friendly and efficient. Parking was free and easy, though I bet somedays it could be hard to find a parking spot nearby.The only thing we didn't like was they bring water to the table without asking if we wanted plastic straws. It would be nice to at least ask first since 500,000,000 straws thrown away each day in the US is way too much!We'd definitely like to give it another try in the fall.

The food is not out of this world but it is very good at a very good price. I had Snow Crab and got a lot for the price. The oysters were good. Beer was very reasonable and service was excellent. Although I didn't get the blue crabs lots of others around us did and they were good sized. If you are looking for a reasonable family restaurant this is a can't miss

Iâve never been a huge fan of the food here, but on a recent trip I tried the barbecue chicken nachos, which were excellent. Crabbys is close to my house so itâs any easy place to visit for an adult beverage. I love the outside bar. The draft beer choices are good and the staff work hard and are very friendly. Try the nachos!

Came here on the recommendation from a friend who has golfed at the club but we don't golf - just came to have brunch and watch football. They delivered on both counts! The brunch was fantastic - I had a burger and fries (not traditional brunch food I know but I really wanted a burger!) and it was delicious with a heap of fries - cooked just right! My other half had an omelet with crab and we also got the wings. Both were great - but the wings were phenomenal! And the best part - there was football on - EAGLES! It was a great afternoon and we will be back! Maybe even take a golf lesson next time.Thank you for your kind words. We look forward to making your next experience even better.
