    Found this place while on a weekend getaway and sure glad we did. Everything was excellent. The waitress Sharon was so sweet and the best waitress. She always checked on us and made sure we were good from the time we walked in until the end. The crabs were some of the best we ever had. They were full of meat and steamed just right. All around a wonderful place and definitely recommended. Will definitely go back when we are out that way again. Thank you

    We really enjoy Crab Barn. I prefer to sit on the right side of the restaurant. it's a bit echoey to begin with and the bar is on the left side so when there is live music it's too loud for me. This visit between the 3 of us we had cheese steak egg rolls, Cesar salad, steamed shrimp, corn on the cob, baked potato, green beans, lobster tail, french fries, and snow crab. The only thing I would not get again is the cheesesteak egg rolls. It’s not that they were bad, however the rolls themselves were very basic and lacking flavor. It came with a sauce that was very smokey and very spicy. There wasn’t any info regarding the sauce on the menu so I dipped into it thinking it was a burger sauce. Woooo boy was I surprised, haha!!! Everything else was great and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Snow crab clusters were a good size and came with 2 sides for a great price. We don’t live local but when we visit family we will definitely be back!!!
