What our guests are saying
I recently visited Ben’s Crab with my wife, and let me tell you, it was claw-some! We ordered the lobster with garlic butter, and it was so good, I almost fought her for the last bite (don’t worry, she won). The lobster meat was tender, juicy, and perfectly complemented by the rich, garlicky sauce – so fresh, it felt like it swam straight to our table! The service was top-notch: the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel like VIPs. The atmosphere was cozy and laid-back, making it the perfect spot for a date night or just a reason to indulge in some incredible seafood. If you’re craving fresh, delicious seafood and a fun dining experience, Ben’s Crab is the place to be. My wife and I are already planning our next visit – and this time, I’m claiming the last bite!

We love this place. The service is friendly and efficient and the food is delicious and reasonable. We have many favorites here including the pan seared scallops and lobster Mac and cheese pictured, we also like the seafood in a bag, Kobe sliders, garlic noodles, salads, and other items. Plenty of comfortable seating.

The Lobster Mac is PAAAAIIINNNN. Tried Ben’s in 2020 in Oceanside. Never disappointed me yet. Flier nights are type crowded but music is a vibe. Atmosphere is polished. Extremely enjoyable.
