Miss Katie's Crab Shack

the food 🦀️ 🦀️🌽🥔is very tasty and the ambience is lovely and nostalgic with great music🎵and lighting🕯️，the staff are all very attentive and considerate💗! It’s such a lovely place and just like my friend said “if one day I’m going to leave Melbourne for good and people ask me about restaurant recommendations there, this is definitely the first restaurant that will pop out” 💕thank you for this lovely valentines dinner experience 💓

True Fitzroy gem! Came here for lunch and really loved the decor & theme. Most importantly though, the food was really really good. We ordered the clam chowder which was perfect for a cold wet Melbourne day - the mussels & clams were delicious. We also ordered the spicy fried prawns which were packed with flavour. But the real highlights for me were the crab slider (crab meat was beautiful), the prawn roll and flavour packed crab tostada which in hindsight, I would’ve order multiple of as it was that good! Will definitely be back here again.

Customer service was good she was lovely. For my first time here i wouldn’t ever come back. If you want seafood boil go to docklands. This place was far overpriced. Starting at $52 for 2 blue swimmer crabs in your choice of sauce and that was all doesn’t even come with corn or potatoes you have to purchase it as an additional and you only get 1 corn cut in half for $6. And then you add the rest. The drinks are $5.50 for a small cup of soft drink that is filled with ice. If you are a seafood lover don’t waste your money here it’s way over priced. It was below average.

3.5 stars. Mixed reviews and my experience confirmed was simply above average and nothing special. (I visited in 2017 and saw some of my old photos so doing the review only now!) Food quality: Seafood didn’t taste the freshest, above average for sure but not more than that. Food portion / Price: Portions are in line with average and prices are as expected in the city!

A little disappointing as we found it very expensive for what we got, not the best tasting food we've had that's for sure. There's no real service, we ordered through QR code and it automatically selects 15% tip, but for what when you order yourself?! The food took a long time to arrive and it wasn't busy. The biggest issue for me was that the place was absolutely freezing! I had my winter jacket on and I was still very cold, so when the food came out it was cold within minutes as we were pretty much in a fridge. I wouldn't recommend sorry.

I read previous reviews but we went there with a open mind, as everyone has an opinion right. Unfortunately our experience was similarly as bad as others. Staff was very friendly, but the restaurant was so busy, with only one cook and 2 waiters, that was it. Wow.. I received my meal last (a tableof 4), literally an hour after the others at my table got theirs, and the meal I was served was blah.. Very expensive $85+ (for a crab boil - 2 small crabs, boiled baby potato & corn cob) just for my meal.. I was dumbfounded and I guess just in shock. I am more than happy to splurge on good food and service any time, but unfortunately I will not be going back, and I'm sorry, but I can not recommend it.
