Tucked away at the James River Fishing Pier, Crab Shack on the James offers a cozy escape with stunning water views. I indulged in their famous crab legs - so sweet, they hardly needed dipping! My partner tried the she crab soup, which had a decent flavor but could use a little more kick. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, creating a relaxed vibe. The outdoor seating was perfect for a lovely evening. Parking was a breeze too. Definitely worth a visit! 🦀
