Ate at Crabby Joe's last week. We stopped in about 8:30pm. I ordered the walleye and my wife ordered the perch. Have had fish and chips at many places and this was the worst. The fish was tough, almost like they nuked it. It looked and tasted like it was cooked in old cooking oil - that burned dark look. Priced $24.99 each plate. If you can't make it right or up to some type of standard, then please don't serve it. We've eaten here twice before without issue but I don't know anymore.
Food is good ... not great, but good. Prices are fair and outside deck view is great. NOW the service ... somewhere between bad and horrible. Had to ask for table setups, forgot to bring ordered items, and never checked to see if we needed anything. Seemed to me the server was more interested in the football games on the television than on the task at hand, providing service to customers. Sometimes you can forgive this if a place is packed, but when we were there my guess is there were only two, maybe three other tables getting food service. A real kicker is there were TWO servers working. As we departed the server came running out telling us we had to leave a signed copy on the table. We returned and pointed to the elusive copy laying on the table ... in plain sight !!
Wont go back. First visit and we were disappointed that we couldn't sit outside on the water...tables for meals only, so we were stuck inside at the bar on a beautiful evening. My boyfriend paid the beer tab with a $20 (all he had in his wallet were $20s) and the bartender---after we could get her attention---insisted we gave her a $10, even showed us the bar receipt which had $10 posted to it (well you could POST $5 on the bar receipt and give us NO change back on a $20). So we got stiffed out of $10and were treated very indifferently. Guess you had to be a local or at least not a first timer-- to catch any friendliness. Just overall disappointing. Had a much better time at The Bait House in Port Clinton.
Situated right on the water beside Anchors Away marina, so there are views of boats coming into dock, including fishing charters, so it's fun to watch them come in with their catch. The semi-outdoor seating area has huge windows so you feel like you're outside while being undercover. However, you will get wet if a Lake Erie storm rolls in! Additional seating upstairs is fully open to the elements. Big bar inside with lots of seating. The food is good but the service is almost always lousy, whether it's busy or not. Prices are decent. If they'd improve the service, this place would become a favorite.
Wow.. This Place is nice. And the Food is Great! The Service was awesome! The menu is huge and full of great things. And everything we have had has been so Great! Nice to have a Restaurant like this in Port Clinton of this quality. Come eat enjoy and see the great view of the water!
