Awwww, Crab Corner! We were so excited, based on the reviews we read. The first surprise was the cheap storefront appearance, as we were expecting a real restaurant experience. The paper towels and plasticware didn't help, but I figured they put their money into their food. Amongst the three of us we tried the fried catfish, fried clams, hushpuppies, pulled pork sandwich, fries, crab cakes and- of course- the snow crab legs. The hushpuppies were fried too hard, but would have been great otherwise. The catfish was also fried way too hard, but the fish inside was melt-in-your-mouth good. The clams weren't as over-fried. The pulled-pork sandwich wasn't a big hit (and wasn't especially attractive) but the little container of barbecue sauce went over well, if that says anything. It was way overpriced for being just a sandwich -it should've been half the price. The Boardwalk fries were all right but the special seasoning just tasted like salt to us. We didn't like the crab cakes at all, but appreciated that they appear to be made with real crab. Finally, the service was off. A couple of orders were forgotten, one order was incorrect, and the two servers, who were both friendly, seemed overwhelmed with being responsible for everything from taking orders to clearing tables to cashiering. I'd hate to see what would happen if the place was more than half-full. The crab wasn't anything special. I guess there's not much you can do with crab except ruin it, which they didn't do. It was $19.00 for just the crab legs and no sides, which didn't impress my S.O., the crab eater of our group. So I hate to say it, but we won't be back.
How would this review be described in terms of sentiment?
