Rd Crab Shack - Samal

The place is quite far if you're coming from the city proper so you better have a private car to get you here. As for the food, it was okay. It took a while for our orders to be served considering it wasnt peak hours and they was only one other table that they had to cater to. I liked the fried crabs as they were larger compared to the crabs that were bathed in their specialty sauce. The sauce itself lacked a bit of seasoning so it would be better if they could improve on that.

The food in this place is REALLY bad. We had our dinner in this place on Nov. 22, '16 and I can tell you, the food here is truly abysmal. We have been to a lot of bad restaurants and I can tell you, this has got to be one of the worst, if not THE worst. Please, do yourselves a favour and avoid this place at all costs, you will thank yourself later. The pictures do a very good job of making you think the food 's better than it really is, when in reality, it 's one of the worst you can come across. And no, i 'm not kidding at all. I 'd say it again; we were absolutely disappointed in this place. There are a lot of great restaurants in close proximity to RD Crab Shack such as Coco 's Grill just several hundred metres away or Chinese and Korean restuarants near Victoria Plaza. You will get your money 's worth out on those places.

They suggested we order the seafood bucket with crabs, shrimps, etc and the beef pares. We did. 30 minutes after, they told us that the crabs weren't available. Since we were very hungry, we settled for the beef pares. The meat was so tough, almost not edible.

Excellent food and service. I usually don't order crabs, but I was glad I did. Best I have had in years! I come from Lobster, Crab Shrimp area of NH and Maine in US. These were every bit as good tasting to me.

Service was okay. But they deep fried mud crabs, stupid idea at best. The rest of the food was mediocre. Won't be returning.
