"loved the restaurant, food and service. only one complaint....the calamari appetizer. We always order calamari whenever we can. We were very disappointed in the calamari. It tasted like it came off a bad chinese buffet. The sauce was terrible."

"I was very impressed with the facility itself, I found it to be a very classy, elegant, and enjoyable place to dine. The service was wonderful as well. However, I was disapointed with the food. I had ate at red lobster the previous weekend and found it to be much better food there. My salmon was very dry and overcooked, and for the amount that I paid I found that I recieved 10 times the meal from red lobster than Charleys Crab. :( I was let down as I had anticipated going to charleys for quite some time."

"Not what it used to be. The signature dishes took a decided turn for the worse and the mediocre wine list is astronomically priced. Not at all a good value."

"had a great time . i know it was beyond your control but the party that was sitting behind us. we think it was their first time ever eating out at CC. one lady had a laugh that could stop a truck and she took pictures of everything , everyone and all the food , was very annoying to have the flash go off every minute while she was enjoying herself at everyones expense. we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and ended up with a headache from the constant flashes . hopefully next time it will be more private . once again phenominal place ,,, came for our first through the 25th anniversary and hopefully you will be around for our 50th"

"We were seated at a river view table, our server was pleasant and on top of everything, and the food was simply amazing! Plus, Charlie's Crab honored our anniversary by specially printing menus in our honor. It was an incredible wedding anniversary for my wife and I!"
