Was told by another repeat customer to get the crab sandwich and clam chowder. Glad I followed her advice. Best clam chowder I’ve had. Loaf of sourdough bread to go with it was delicious. Crab sandwich was all crab meat. 😋 Yummy

We have been coming out to this spot for years. The line is usually long on the weekends, but it has been worth the wait. The past few times, we noticed they put way too much garlic in the N.E. Chowder. It give it a...spicy, bitter taste. We thought today we’d give it one more try. Well, no more! From now on we will be stopping at the stand at the Tides Wharf for chowder instead when we come out to the coast. Too bad, very sad!More

It's a very small roadside stand type place. Not cheap - 2 crab sandwiches, 1 clam chowder cup & 1 small shrimp cocktail (no drinks at all) - all served in paper bags with plastic cutlery came in @ around $65. So you stand in...line and order/pick up your to go food & then take it elsewhere or try to find space amongst a few crowded wooden picnic tables on the roadside across from a marina. There was no inside seating, bar or bathroom facilities that I could see. The crab sandwich was small but excellent. Packed with very tasty crab. The chowder & shrimp cocktail were good enough, but not great. Very little ambiance to the setting. If you're looking for a comfortably seated leisurely lunch with wait service & a full bar, you will be disappointed. Grab & go picnic likely your best bet.More

This clam chowder at Spuds is TERRIFIC. Nothing else really needs to be said. If you are in the area, Spuds Crab Company is a “must” visit.

I came here at the suggestion of a buddy. He raved in particular about the clam chowder. I ordered their seafood sandwich (crab and shrimp). It definitely was good! I tried some of my buddy's clam chowder and it too was pretty good. Beyond speed...and food quality, I also consider the value of the food I'm buying. in this case, I have to downgrade my rating. My tiny sandwich (appx 6 inch) was $15.95 and $17.31 after tax. This is probably the worst value purchase for food I've ever experience...and I've eaten in both San Francisco and HawaiI! Now if this sandwich was 12" and came with chips and a drink, then it would have been appropriately priced. So I only feel it's fair to rate them average (probably should be less) and feel the price gouging is disrespectful of their customers. I definitely will not eat here again!More

Had to stop here for a second lunch because $70 at Bodega Bay Oyster Company left us still hungry. We had the white clam chowder and shared a crab sandwich. It was busy with a line up which is always a good sign in my...opinion. Chowder was delicious. Creamy and full of clams. We were actually pretty full after eating the soup so we saved the sandwich til later. It was chock a block full Of delicious crabmeat. This was an excellent stop. Highly recommended.More

This was our first visit here and we came here first. We tried the clam chowder which was pretty good and crab sandwich which was really nothing special not even the role, our soda was warm too 😢 We were really looking forward to this...since we were both raised on the ocean and now live inland. Unfortunately we wouldn’t come back.More

They serve crab in a cup with sauce on the side and several other fish dishes. No coffee. Noted for their clam chowder. Husband loved it. I don't eat clams so I had crab in a cup with sauce.

We went here because of earlier reviews, and they were correct. Great chowder and no filler crab sandwiches. The oysters on the half shell were a 5! The halibut tacos had too much sauce! Nice selection of local beers. A long line but all staff...were very courteous. We sat at a picnic table outside with a nice breeze. An overall excellent experience.More

This restaurant was recommended by the concierge at Farmhouse Inn and it was amazing. The clam chowder deserves the awards it has achieved and the card sandwich was the freshest I can ever remember. Absolutely no filler! Amazing!

The place is famous for it’s clam chowder which is great but the crab sandwiches are to die for. Loaded with crab meat and no fillers in between crispy bread. We indulged very lunch time. Great value for the amount of crab and the sweet...taste of local crab.More

There is no liquor license. It is a fast casual place with outside picnic tables and only serve non-alcoholic beverages. Food is great so don't let the fact they don't serve alcohol stop you!
