Great service. Food is expensive. The grabby yabby flavour was alright. Tried the garlic butter and that was better. Good place to try once!

Oysters were written on the menu board, but they didn't have any - we found out later that you have to ring up the restaurant 24-48 hours prior to your booking to make sure they order some in. They also didn't have any grilled octopus, which was advertised on the menu. We also ordered a bottle of wine and went to order another, but of course they had run out, so the only other alternative was a more expensive option. Atmosphere was a bit lacking as the restaurant was completely empty and no music playing etc... having to get a key to go to the toilet next door in the alleyway bathrooms was also a bit of a pain and gross to be honest. Food was good.

Amazing seafood!!! Terrific service. I would love a different sauce in the chicken wings- and the pork ribs would be better if they weren’t deep fried... But great place to eat with friends- lots of fun!!!

Very bad experience. Will definitely not return. Cannot take instructions and did not reserve crab that we drove over an hour to eat. A call was made prior to ensure no let downs and availability of mud crab. We were advised they will hold it for us, knowing the special occasion. Grab-a-yabby has ruined our anniversary dinner. I DONT recommend them at all!

Excellent customer service, fresh seafood. Not a big fan of the yabby but must try are the Singapore Sauce with the Alaskan King Crab legs!

The food was exceptional. We had the king crab, mussels, yabbies, surf and turf, salmon and lobster tail. Everything was delicious and nothing was left behind. We tried the Grab a Yabby special sauce which was a Cajun and butter sauce, devine. We also got the Singapore sauce with the king crab which was recommended by our waiter and was the perfect match. They provide you with plastic gloves and bibs. The waiter also showed us how to crack open the different seafood. Highly recommend eating here and will be going back. Thanks heaps for making it a lovely evening to the staff as it was a special occasion.

Loved the Australian Yabby with their Singaporean sauce. Definitely recommend it for everyone. The customer service was awesome. They thought me how to peel off Yabby and kept checking up on me.

The customer service was absolutely great, however the food was a little bland in flavour. Sliders were a little bit dry, may need more sauce.

A bit on the pricey side. The clams were not as fresh and the kitchen aren’t very flexible when it comes to accomodate the customers.

Singaporean sauce is da bomb. They should make it a permanent sauce option! Seafood’s fresh. They should have tools to crack the claws of the yabbies though.
