American Crab Co

Yummy spot I found while on my way back to NYC from Lancaster. The place was really friendly and seafood was very fresh. The location is right next to all the gas stations, great affordable prices(it’s been a while since I saw a lobster roll for less than $20), I just wish there was a place to sit and eat, I ended up sitting in my car.

My family members (Vietnamese and huge seafood lovers) have been customers for decades when they started with only a food truck. Really fantastic quality for a great price and their employees are knowledgeable and friendly.

This was a takeout seafood market, that prepared or steams food onsite. Service was excellent.. Young attendant explained the seafood choices.. i was serviced quick and not rushed. Food was reasonable price and cooked onsite. Would recommend the site for next seafood purchase

I’ve been driving past this place for years & I finally stopped in with my son. I’m so happy that we decided to drop in. This place is very clean, the staff was very kind, knowledgeable & very welcoming. They gave us free samples of their delicious soups & we definitely got some to go. You can taste the love in the food that we purchased & we were pleased with the food & service. I’ll definitely be returning when I’m in the area again!

I have a 6 month old and wanted to expose her to fish. I’m not gonna give her a can of fish bc ew. So my dad and husband went over and grabbed a bunch of things. The salmon filet was gorgeous. We cooked it up and all had some including my daughter. She absolutely loved it. I never really ate fish as a kid just shell fish but it was really good. Well definitely be coming back for more.

This is one of my FAVORITE spots to get my blue crabs in PA!!! You can’t go wrong with anything that you pick from here.. and they have good prices!!!

Redeemed themselves since remodeling the store. I forgot to update my experience on Google! You will not be disappointed and is well worth the drive for crabs. Blue crabs served all year round and I visit the store every month. Bon-appetit..

⸻ I’m not trying to be negative, but I do hope this serves as constructive feedback on customer service. We stopped in for blue crabs—just because we happened to pass by on our way to Trader Joe’s. When we walked in, no one greeted us and there didn’t seem to be any activity behind the counter. No problem—we decided on the crabs labeled $8 each or $96 per dozen, made a quick call to see who else wanted in, and placed our order within about five minutes. As soon as we told the clerk which crabs we wanted, we noticed he was pulling smaller crabs than expected. At the same time, another employee began changing the signage from $8/$96 to $10/$120 for the size we’d originally picked. Naturally, we were confused. When we asked about it, the response was fairly short—something like, “We make mistakes and we’re in transition.” My concern is that from the moment we walked in until we ordered—and presumably even before—the crabs were mislabeled, and this wasn’t clarified until we brought it up. The clerk himself was friendly, and they did offer two extra crabs. But it felt like the decision had already been made that we were wrong to expect the posted price. Another employee even tried to involve another customer to confirm that the signage was being changed while we were there. From our perspective, though, the labels were in place from the time we entered until the moment they were altered in front of us—which made it feel like false advertising or even a bait-and-switch. When we tried to explain our side, we were repeatedly cut off. I’m really hoping the crabs are good—I just wish the interaction had gone differently. Clear communication up front would have avoided all of this confusion.
