Stoped in here for lunch they didn't have any hot food today but they had ready to heat food available so I got a pint of the Cajun jambalaya got home heated it up and it was very delicious definitely seasoned nicely.

Their mobile crab shack was at my work and I was super excited for a great sandwich for lunch... For $15 dollars you would think you wouldn't get a shell in every bite, but I did, must have been my lucky day. Would have been great if not for the shells thrown in....

Excellent service - appreciate their timeliness on my large order, having it ready within 5 minutes of my preferred time.

This is a little out of the way for most people I'd imagine, being in the middle of "downtown Lisburn" (Mechanicsburg almost at the end of 114 a little before it meets 382). It's worth the trip if you're after a great crab cake.
The jambalaya is no slouch either. I've had spicier versions of it, but it's quite tasty.
I can absolutely recommend the cheesy crab bites as well.
They make a very good macaroni salad, but I'm a little more "traditional" in how I like this to taste. The crab seasoning is always a little surprising. It's not bad, but it's not my favorite.
The cole slaw is exceptional.
This place had an insanely long line downtown harrisburg during the 4th of July festivities last year, and it's clear why!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Marissa E.Kingman, AZ015Jul 24, 2023

Best fresh crabcakes in the Midstate area... It does not get any better! They personally catch the crabs during the week and they are literally as fresh as can be.
You can call ahead and order... They include a nice little dipping sauce. Enjoy!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kaitlyn H.York, PA127214334Jun 11, 2022
My fiancé, mom and I adventured from York here. The best around we will easily make the 20 minutes drive. We had the crab cake, jambalaya, crab balls and fries. Everything was hot and very delicious! We will be coming back and even may order crabs in the future!

Crab cakes were the best I've ever had, even when in Maryland. Coleslaw was amazing as well as the corn and crab chowder. Prices were great and had plenty of leftovers. Can't wait to get a bushel of crabs next time!

Being from Maryland, we are hard to please when it comes to crabs. We had them once last season and twice early in the season and we have been pleased every time. It's not hard to find but it comes up quick on the road so you might want to use your GPS so you don't miss it. It is set back from the road. Be sure to put in your order. They do sell paper which makes it so easy since we don't get a newspaper like in the old days. My husband enjoyed the crawfish too!
