    Our waitress, Angie, is an outstanding waitress. She takes the time to explain everything. Whatever question you have about the menu, she can answer for you. She comes back after your meal has been delivered to check on you to make sure everything is prepared properly. The food is always excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    We loved the restaurant but prefer when Debbie is there to get attentive and great service. The new staff just isn’t as fabulous. Lastly, Drinks were notably spectacular!

    Always a great evening at The Rivercrab. Food was amazing, first time we have had Angie, she was lovely and so kind with my elderly father. We had family visiting from England and they loved the restaurant and the food.
