Schultz's Crab House - Essex

Nice quaint place with a lot of history. We had some drinks. We had already eaten but we heard the food at Schultz's is very good according to some of the locals. George, the bartender was very pleasant to talk with and he shared some history about Schultz's Crab House. We plan on returning, for sure.

I don't think I've ever opened a fresh bottle of ketchup at a restaurant in my life. Can't speak about the whole menu but the crabs were great, jalapeno poppers and onion rings were also a hit. Steve served us well!

Glad I chose this crab house on my layover. They were out of whole crabs but the orange roughy with lump crab was great and just the right amount of food.

It is a family owned restaurant with a lot of history. Brittany was awesome. She provided outstanding customer service. The crabs came out hot. The $75 crabs were nice and heavy. The crabs were male. The hush puppies were tasty. The broiled lump crab cake was good. No filler was added. The old bay wings were seasoned just right. The AC was cranking(just a heads up for people who get cold easily). The house salad had olives. I went on a Tuesday night and service was quick.
