I LOVE THIS PLACE! The people are very friendly and will help you any way they can. The prices are very reasonable and if you walk out of there hungry, that's your problem. I just wish they would allow sharing of plates in the all you can eat section. What's the big deal as long as everyone bought some kind of food off the menu? You're still selling stuff. But then again, I don't own a restaurant. I will say the food here is outstanding!
Review Source:It was bad... We went there in a large group spent over 4 grand and they made us wait over 90 minutes for our crabs. We had to complain several times to even see the manager. When the manager arrived (dark haired lady) all she did was apologize. We will not be back and we will be taking our annual business party elsewhere.
Review Source:It's a fun atmosphere - old chicken coops converted into a restaurant - and a neat place to eat all-you-can-eat crabs. Â I have never ordered any entree off their menu because I only go there for the crabs. Â Like most places that serve AYCE crabs, the quality and size of the crabs is hit or miss. Â Naturally the heavier, larger crabs are reserved for the by the dozen purchasers. Â But it's AYCE, so if you get a light or bad one, toss it and get another from the pile. Â The basic AYCE crab special comes with AYCE corn on the cob, clam strips, fried shrimp, doughy balls with powdered sugar on top, and fried chicken. Â You'll see the extras before you'll see a crab. Â They know you're coming in hungry and wait for you to take the edge off that appetite before running out your first round of crabs. Â
While I can't attest to the quality of their entrees, their clam strips and fried shrimp served with the AYCE crabs are of the frozen variety. Â I also had to do a double-take when I recently noticed their four piece fried chicken dinner with two sides is $16. Â That's quite a healthy price and profit for half a chicken and a small bowl of cole slaw, potato salad, fries or apple sauce. Â Since they close the end of October for the season, I guess they're trying to squeeze 12-months of income into only seven-months. Â But I personally think that many of the items sold at the various restaurants operated by Southern Boys Concepts, of which there are at least five, run on the high side.
The service at Red Roost has always been good the times I have gone.
It's worth the drive out into the country, if but only once, to experience Red Roost.
This place is waaaaaay out. I mean, it's pretty far off the beaten path. You have to drive along a series of one-way roads and farmland to get here. It's about 30 minutes outside of Salisbury.
But it's oh-so good, and I can see why more locals frequent this place than tourists. Everything about this place has a home-y, cozy feel. It's family-owned and everything is homemade, even the butter in the squeeze tube. (I go to town with that butter--especially on my corn-on-the-cob and crab/Old Bay mix.)
Bf and I always order the all-you-can-eat-crab feast for $30 per person. It's worth it because they give you plenty of sides--seafood included--and the crabs just keep coming. The people here never seem stingy, and I love that. Everyone here is very nice and welcoming.
Nearly every time I visit the Shore during the warmer months, I stop here.
Been wanting to vist this place since we moved to Chincoteague 9 years ago. Â Crabs were FAT and tasty as well as all the other fixins. Â Managed to down two dozen in an hour since we took the Whitehaven Ferry over from the lower Eastern Shore and had to make it back before it closed at 5:30 PM. Â My wife had the ribs and MMMM Good!!! Â
Used to pass the sign on 352 when working the boat ramps at Nanticoke working for NOAA fisheries statiscal interviewing. Â I believe we also camped there when I was a kid cause I remember faintly a place my parents tooks us to that had a chicken house converted and they had a game room and sold crabs and corn, but that was nearly 40 some years ago.
Been goin here for about 5 or 6 years now. They have been consistently good except for one time, late in the season last year. This may seem like some shack out in the woods, but don't be fooled. The owners are as savvy as they come. They own I think 3 other successful restaurants and have a brewery in Selbyville. They distribute all over D-M-V. I say that in a good way.
The fried chicken is some of the best food I've ever eaten and the home brew is pretty good as well. The staff is pleasant and helpful. We usually visit 3-4 times a season. You can boat up. They have a pier about 1/4 mile away. You just have to call ahead and they'll have someone come pick you up.
Recently went for AYCE crabs. Â It's amazing that this place stays in business, since it's in the middle of nowhere. Â It's a testament to how well the place is managed and its good reputation. Â
AYCE crabs are $30.99, which is steep, but unfortunately par for the course for crabs these days. Â Red Roost serves corn on the cob, fried chicken (really good!), fried shrimp, and hush puppies with the crabs. Â This is always a peeve of mine, since they know you'll fill up on all that and not have as much room for crabs! Â Pretty much every crab house on the Shore does this as far as I know, with the exception of Bahama Mama's. Â The crabs were on the small side, but well-seasoned and all perfectly steamed; no over-cooked mushy ones here. Â
Atmosphere: Â It's an old chicken house with cobwebs way up in the rafters. Â They have a nice sink to wash your hands in so you don't have to use the restroom sinks. Â
This summer, they are having a family event on Sundays. Â They have a moon bounce and a clown making balloon animals. Â A great touch for the kids!
What a pity that this place has gone down hill since the Palmers owned it. Â It's pretty hard to screw up Alaskan king crab legs since all you have to do is steam them to warm them up but the last two times (yes, i gave them a second chance) they were just barely room temperature and not as easy to remove from the shells. Â I used to like the hush puppies but unfortunately the machine doesn't work properly and you would think that in 3 seasons they would have either had it fixed or replaced. Â The crabs are overseasoned (all the better to have you guzzle beer my dear) but the ribs are tasty. Â The menu dinners are the best bargain and well cooked so spend your money on those and go to the Old Mill or Ocean City for your pig-out!
Review Source:This is a really fun place to go. Yes, it's in the BOON DOCKS! But that is part of the fun and atmosphere of it all...You eat at either old booths or picnic tables covered with butcher like paper, a roll of paper towels on the tables and a trash can at the end of the table. Â The all you can eat crabs, snow crabs etc.....are a lot of fun to eat which comes with THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN, clam strips, hush puppies, french fries, fried shrimp and corn on the cobb!!!! Â
The waitstaff is hit or miss. The last time we had THE WORST WAITRESS EVER....but before that we usually have good service. Â They do get busy.....but they have a great deal of seating....
We go at least once a year durning crab season
This Eastern Shore landmark is the quintessential crab feast experience. After a nice ride in the country you will find it located in a renovated Chicken house near the Whitehaven ferry. Picnic tables covered with brown paper, and big heaps of boiled crabs just piled in the middle makes for a wonderful (messy) DelMarValous time. The classic crab feast usually includes fried chicken, Corn on the cob, "Shrimpies" (extruded shrimp finger food things) Hush-puppies, and big pitchers of Beer. Â Grab a mallet and get to work on that pile of blue crabs. In recent years the owners have started offering ribs, shrimp and Alaskan crab legs (served in all ya can eat bulk like the crab feast) for those who are easily defeated by the work of getting to blue crab meat. Purists like me tend to see it as a bit of heresy but it does make for a bigger party. Skip Lunch on the day you go. Your gonna need the room!
Open seasonally from whenever the crabs starrt coming (Late March-April) till they stop (Early October)
