The Crab Trap Somers Point Reviews from The Last Year
Very good but don't expect a Maryland Crab Cake in New Jersey
Expected a long wait since the parking lot was full but the restaurant is deceptively large. Matthew was our waiter. We had great service and he was able to answer our questions. There were three of us so the Treasure Chest Appetizer was just right however. The crab bites had large pieces of crab meat and were very good, much better than the crab cakes on the Steak and Cake Platters. The steak was good and cooked correctly but the crab cakes were more filler than crab. The Blackened Mahi was fantastic and not so black you couldn't taste the fish. Overall I'm glad we went and would go again.
Creamy Crab Bisque to die for
This was my 1st time at The Crab Trap and I was not disappointed! I had a lighter dinner of the Creamy Crab Bisque and the Treasure Chest combination appetizer. To drink I had the nonalcoholic Blood Orange Fizzle. The Crab Bisque was the best I’ve ever had with so many melt in your mouth crab pieces. The appetizer was fantastic as well plus the drink hit the spot. Oh, and the bread basket was hot and delicious. Would definitely return again to try other things.
Chicken Picatta
Not a seafood lover. Glad they had other options. Nice service. I tried the chicken piccata. It was excellent. The broccoli was very hard, barely cooked and hard to cut. Very busty but we’re seated quickly.
Excellent as always
We’ve been coming for over 40+ years. We live local and when we want nice dinner we don’t even need asked each other where wanna go we already know Crab Trap. Food always always awesome and service as well.

I just had a luncheon this weekend in the back room! The food was excellent the wait staff were fabulous and everyone raved about the food! I highly recommend hosting a party here
Incredible.
Also got the crab bisque and it was unreal!!! The waitresses were so kind and the live music was such a vibe
I would have given this place 4 to 5 stars but the service
I would have given this place 4 to 5 stars but the service was the pits. We got there about 2:45, and after looking at the dinner menu, we decided to go with the lunch menus. When I asked for the lunch menus, a waitress said, sorry, it's passed lunch. Come to find out, the hostess gave me the lunch menus, since we were there prior to dinner, this is just the beginning, that was our waitress and she had attitude. Food was excellent, but the service lacked, there were just too many snide remarks from our waitress to even list. My sister paid cash since she had a larger family then we did, was asked "how much change" did she want, she said all of it but was still shorted. Again, Food excellent, service the pits, there are too many restaurants to put up with that type of BS, I wanted to cancel our order and walk out, the other 11 people voted to stay. My wife and I are from Dallas, this type of attitude would not be tolerated. Kevin C
Fresh seafood
This place is worth the wait. That being said, we were told a 30 minute wait when we arrived but were able to score 2 seats at the bar 5 minutes later. The parking lot is usually full but there is an overglow stone lot across the street where you can find a spot. The seafood is fresh and the service was great. The fresh Oyster, clam and shrimp appetizer was outstanding. The salmon special and crab dinner were also delicious. The drinks were fresh and on point. They have a large menu with added specials. I wish I had room for dessert. The person next to me was raving about the banana cream pie and it looked amazing! Next time.
Our go to place for special celebrations.
Soup sampler is a must and clams casino. My favorite entree is the stuffed shrimp. Friendly staff and inviting atmosphere. Bonus is bar out back. Crabby Jack's is a fun spot to have a bite or cocktail while you wait for a table.
I just ate here tonight with my wife and I must say that
I just ate here tonight with my wife and I must say that this was the best , and freshest seafood that we have both ever had. Being our first time you are always a little skeptical about some of the reviews. From the excellent service from our waiter Adam, to multiple employees saying good night, you couldn't have received any better service. Both of our dishes were so plentiful with delicious seafood, that we needed boxes for our leftovers. We are already looking forward to returning!
The best time during the week to go here is after 7:30.
It's still very crowded and surprisingly mostly an older crowd. No wait. Our waitress apologized for not taking our drink order immediately. She had a few large tables. The seafood here is just great. The soups are pretty tasty, too. The fried shrimp are the best around. I miss the crackers and horseradish on the table. The breadbasket has some muffins in it. All in all, a pretty good meal without that long wait!
Went to the Crab Trap for my bday dinner the other night.
.. n was extremely disappointed! We were seated right away... but, then it took the waitress, Guer 15 minutes to approach the table! Another 10 mins to get our drinks!! Sooo we preceded to order our dinner.... Salad was Xcellent, fresh n crisp. Appetizers Fried Clam Strips n Clams Casino were Xcellent! Then our dinners came n boy ohhh boy what a disappointment! My husband got the Rib n Tails.. the meat wasn't even WARM. I got the 2 lb Lobster ... as soon as she put it in front of me ... I knew this wasn't gonna be good! The Lobster was Mush.... Obviously, DEAD when they cut it open to Broil!! No waitress to b found.. went to Hostess desk... woman came back took our meals... Prime rib came back fairly quickly... but, the different dish I ordered was taking a while... sooo I was forced to take it home!! No one came back to check on us... offer a drink on the house... nothing!! Hostess ignored on the way out.... Very DISAPPOINTING! Happy bday to me Needless to say we won't b going back!!!
Nice night out
Reasonably priced(for Atlantic city). Food and service were very good. Friendly staff! A bit of a drive from Atlantic city.

This might be one of the best seafood I went to as a child
This might be one of the best seafood I went to as a child andas an adult The service was kind and sometimes likes to have a conversation with the customers I ordered Lobster bites as an appetizer and I ordered 2 plates of them, 10/10 Then I ordered crab cakes with tartar sauce and they had NO TINY ANNOYING SHELLS inside them, and they were Mouthwatering, 9/10 Then I ordered a desert as well. After I ate everything, I ordered the Oreo Ice cream Tower, and when I got full I ate the whole thing over the effort into the dessert, the ice cream with it, the crushed oreos, the whipped cream, I don't even care if I'm full, im still eating the rest because I hate wasting food. 10/10 I RECOMMEND GOING HERE EVERY WEEK/DAY. 9.7/10
Considering that my wife and I are locals and can choose to
Considering that my wife and I are locals and can choose to eat here as often as we like, still The Crab Trap never disappoints. The food is great and although I frequently get the same meal (Bos 'N Mate) it's consistently a fine meal. From the bread to start the meal to the ambience and the servers, we enjoy the Trap every time.
Looking for a Great Lunch in Atlantic City? Then Go To Somers Point
One of the problems with Atlantic City is that good food is limited in the daytime. Most of the Fine Dining establishments are only open for dinner. For a great lunch or early supper, you have to go offshore; and when you go offshore, just go straight to the Crab Trap for good food and good service. My Best Friend told me to select the best restaurant in Atlantic City for lunch as a treat for my holiday birthday. I was in search of a good steak, after all the fish and fowl of Christmas. It would have been easier to find a Partridge in a Pear Tree. The first choice boasted an appealing menu for lunch, but upon arrival, the closest thing they had was a short rib grilled cheese sandwich, although the view was lovely, we decided to leave. Next was a so-so restaurant with an appealing menu online and a view of the effects of Global Warming, only to find out that the appealing menu had gone south of the border and the kitchen was now pumping out Mex-Tex. I did not initially select the Crab Trap, because I was thinking STEAK. My Bestie, having spent Christmas in New Orleans, had shrimp overload. We decided to go red. Bestie had the Rueben, I had the petite Filet Mignon, we added some Crab Bites ( please do!) and the Soup Sampler”1-1-1”. My Absolute Martini was all that, and Carol, our Server was very efficient, even on a busy day. It was worth the trip to Somers Point to end up at The Crab Trap.
Consistently Good
I’ve been to the Crab Trap so many tandem it’s always Good! Service is good and the food is very good! I had the dinner specials two nights in a row and both were amazing! I had pistachio crusted halibut one night then a Red snapper spinach lump crab meat rice risotto that was delicious the next night!
Outstanding Seafood Establishment
My parents and I visited this establishment for my birthday dinner on 11/11/23, it was our first time. We were welcomed by the hostess who brought us to our table where we met our server Veronica who was pleasant & professional, a spectacular server. We ordered our starter and drinks, I had the Jameson Old Fashioned, it was a great drink, and my mother had a glass of red. The homemade rolls were absolutely delicious, warm and lovely, the salads were very nice with the creamy Italian dressing. The Clams Casino was remarkable, the best ever, truly the best seller, my father opted for the crab bisque, absolutely divine. Now to our entrees, I had the Rib & Lobster combination, omg was it beyond outstanding, the prime rib and lobster tails were expertly prepared, melted in my mouth succulent deliciousness. My mother has the red snapper special, she was very pleased with hers, my father had Surf n turf, he raved about the filet & lobster was prepared to perfection and absolutely delicious. Then we ended the evening with wonderful hot coffee & a slice of chocolate peanut butter pie, it was a slice of heaven. Overall this is a true seafood establishment with a commendable reputation. As a Culinarian/Foodie, I Highly Recommend The Crab Trap. Tell them Charlie sent ya!
Absolutely wonderful!
Outstanding food, service, and pricing…very original food items The best original scallops since New England restaurants.
“Management” does it again…
Well, as a loyal, steady, eat there all the time, customer I’m never surprised at the bad management decisions made by the seemingly punitive “powers that be”. I graduated from the wait too long to sit in the dining room, to I now eat at the bar regular. Sadly, I’ve witnessed wonderful, engaging, energetic servers terminated, time and time again… Recently, a terrific server was terminated, based on what I was told, over a specious complaint by an unreasonable customer. This particular server has been terrific. She has served me food and drinks dozens of times if not more. I jovially referred to her as part of the A Team. Today I was informed she was fired. That news left a very unpleasant aftertaste. Good Luck Aly*** Let me know where you will be working and Maria and I will be there!
Crab Trap Hapy
Eight years after eating and dancing at the CT. We love the great food and service and ambiance. Best long term crab house on !
Excellent Seafood
Very popular venue noted for long wait times. Even busy on Monday evening after the close of tourist season. I enjoyed steamed clams and steamed mussels for dinner. My spouse had Crispy Grilled Crab cakes. The food was excellent. Our daughter had the Chilled Combo Platter with lobster, shrimp, clams, crab meat, potato salad and Cole slaw. Son-in-law had a very large Prime Rib which looked wonderful.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Newbie sellers— how fast do your reservations sell?
I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement.

Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
