“ Still the BEST amongst the rest crab shack places around. Tried so many different ones but always comes back to TOMS. ”
“ Pending review from 1st visit: 04/25/15 - glad to see the place is still open to date: September 2024 I haven't been brave enough to visit "The Boiling Crab" so it's kinda hard to compare this place to it! I think I'm more of a "butter garlic" sauce kinds gal. It's recommended to order combo meals for groups to save money nonetheless. The fried oysters were pretty good. I expected more for fried calamari though so I wasn't too impress with it. I like TENTACLES! As of last night, the business still has a "PENDING" alcohol license so I recommend to BYOB! Haha jk My additional 2 stars is for GREAT customer service!! They were super friendly and very attentive! Oh yeah, I loved that they had HD TV's all over the place coz I got to see the Warriors beat the Pelicans! Heck yeah!! ”
“ I'm gonna give my most honest reviews The food was absolutely delicious We came here after leaving another spot down the street that didn't look so great This place is like a little hole in the wall/mom and pops style vibes (I'm sure it's family ran) the waiter looked young and nervous but absolutely a sweetheart, I feel price wise it's a great deal and portions were large, Husband and I shared the classic combo, basket of oysters and fries, garlic noodles and it was so good, great flavors and good heat. I initially asked for a mild combo flavor and then asked for a small amount of heat to add and it was great. We're actually on our way over again now. Definitely a place to try ”
“ The only place I go for seafood boil. I've gone to the one across the street and it's not bad but they can't beat Tom's sea food nor their sauces. Let's not forget about great service, clean restaurant and great atmosphere. I arrive happy and leave happier. Thanks all of Tom's staff! ”
“ Oooooh weee! This place is so on hit, my mouth is watering just thinking about our meal here. It's the place where you put your hair up, wash your hands, tie your bib and get to work! In that order, too! We ordered the Alaskan crab and shrimp, the corn and garlic noodles. Before I continue typing, I had to stop and breathe bc I wanted to just bury my head in the bowl. You get messy. You're using your hands, your fingers, getting your fork sauced up bc you're eating noodles with each bite of crab meat you successfully dig out using the scissors. I personally like to dip my corn in the sauce that the crab and shrimp is swimming in. It is just a delightful sin to eat everything in front of you. Everyone's got their hands in the bowl trying to get their crab legs and shrimp. It's just a big fat edible orgy! ”
