The Crab & Lobster Fish Shack

Visited on Wednesday 16th July for lunch with a friend. Food was good as was the service. I would thoroughly recommend the Monkfish if it is available.

Scallops delicious, Haddock fabulous, service swift and very friendly… superb

Amazing food, friendly efficient staff. We could find fault with anything. We will definitely be returning and will be highly recommending to friends & family.

Amazing fish and chips and great friendly service. Will definitely return.

Great new addition to the neighbourhood! Be back soon !

Dissapointed with menu. Mains need more choice of fish and other variety

Excellent service and the food was superb. We will definitely go back.

Excellent service from one of the staff called Logan, very knowledgeable young man, the freshest and tastiest food

Excellent food prawn cocktail was the best I have ever had. Rest of party thoroughly enjoyed everything they had. Definitely be back

Thoroughly enjoyed a Friday lunch out with friends at the Crab & Lobster. New to us and found a beautiful restaurant with very friendly and helpful staff plus the food which was delicious. Will be back soon.

We enjoyed a lovely meal with great service. Would recommend.

Food is fantastic - lovely dining experience . Will definitely be back

Delicious food and 5 star service. Would defo go back.

Lovely food and service was good. Second time this week. 😁

only slight complaint was my daughter found the fish and chips a little too salty

Staff and service excellent. Food also excellent. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Lovely restaurant, great service, tasty food. Need to get gluten free bread in the freezer - Tesco is just over the road!

Love the refurbishment, very relaxing atmosphere and helpful friendly staff. Fish and chips were excellent and I loved the fresh side salad. My friend asked for her haddock to be breaded as it wasn’t on the menu and it was no problem at all. I understand that this option will be added to their menu but for now, they were very happy to oblige. Will definitely be back to try something different next time!

Good food and service. A bit pricey especially for srarters e.g £12 for prawn cocktail, considering setting compared to thirty knots scotts etc

Lovely decor, good friendly staff, great service, but food experience disappointing. Ordered Scallops (£16:0), expected 3/4, got 2, although tasted excellent, their facebook shows 3. Ordered large Fish & Chips plus peas (£21:0), the fish was dry and tasteless, either not fresh or overcooked. My wife ordered 1/2 Lobster, 2 forks later she ran out of meat, very small lobster. Overall disappointed with the food served, Queensferry really needed a good fish restaurant since the Boathouse closed, quality and value not there. Incidentally bought 4 Scallops from Fishmonger cost £3:80p.

Second visit to Crab and Lobster Shack and again did not disappoint. Had the Crab nachos, which were still very good but I think the recipe has changed since last visit. The BBQ squid was excellent.

This is a lovely restaurant, beautifully decorated. We both opted for the haddock tea. Sadly, we felt there was too much batter on the fish. Will likely choose something else on a future visit.

Had a lovely lunch last week and this week . Food was delicious, hot and fresh .

Great surroundings, great staff and great food - what’s not to like. Definitely return.

Very happy with our first visit. The food was excellent, and reasonably priced. The staff were very pleasant. The decor very attractive. Also excellent is the fact there is a division in the kitchen for cooking for people with coeliac. We will definitely go again.

Lovely visit for a birthday. Squid, crab, lobster, sharing platter, desserts and drinks all perfect. Staff very efficient and attentive. Will defo purely be back SOON.

A great visit. I like the range of wines, cocktails etc...There could be more beers though, including GF ones. The food was delicious, although the chips could have been crisper.

Am already a local fan and patron of Jack O’Bryans and the whole team there- they always make you feel so looked after with an amazing meal and service. So I was excited about the new venture and it does not disappoint. Great atmosphere, same lovely style of service and the food was top notch. Lovely to have something so focused on seafood and a “posh” fish tea. Oysters were fresh as could be. The market fish battered monkfish was such a treat- hope it will feature again! And as I was driving it was brilliant to have a draft zero beer rather than a mocktail or soft drink- felt like was not missing out at all. Thanks to the whole family/team for another great “Jack” meal!

The food was excellent as was the service, will be back

We really enjoyed our meal; oysters, mussels, dressed crab salad, and a whole lobster. The staff was so friendly - we’ll be back for sure!

Lovely place, food and cocktail was amazing. Staff very friendly. Wished my husband and happy birthday. Will definitely do back

Very enjoyable visit, food and service were on point. We will be back very soon

Exceptional Fish, Chips & Mushy Peas – A Standout Meal at The Crab and Lobster, South Queensferry We recently enjoyed a truly outstanding meal at The Crab and Lobster in South Queensferry, and the fish, chips, and mushy peas were nothing short of exceptional. The fish was perfectly cooked — golden and crisp on the outside, yet flaky and tender on the inside. The batter was light and delicate, with just the right amount of seasoning to complement the fresh flavour of the fish without overpowering it. The chips were equally impressive: thick-cut, beautifully crisp on the outside and fluffy within — clearly made with care and attention to quality. And the mushy peas? Smooth, vibrant, and packed with flavour. They added the perfect finishing touch to what was already a superb plate. Friendly and attentive service rounded off the meal perfectly. This was classic Scottish comfort food elevated to a level of true craftsmanship. Highly recommended for anyone visiting South Queensferry — a must-try dish in a delightful setting. Looking forward to another visit soon. The Graham Family

First visit and it won’t be our last. Absolutely fantastic!

Nice place, food is very good, fast service, I recommend👍

Absolutely amazing meal!! I had a starter of Prawn Shack Cocktail. My Wife had breaded Scampi in Honey and a lovely sauce. Both were very tasty. Great start!! :-) For mains (which we kind of requested in advance), I had whole Lobster in Garlic. My Wife had Whole Lobster Thermidor and we ordered a bottle of Cava. My Wife also had a pint of Crabbit Crab Lager (their own lager) and I had a Rum Reserve and lemonade. What a mouth-watering most delicious meal, and drinks for both our starters and mains were ace. Total cost: £177. The interior of this place is absolutely beautiful - modern contemporary, blue and aqua seating (seq colours) and lovely varnished light wood. - Very modern contemporary, cosy and warm, and even romantic. Service a little awkward. The Italian waiter could understand me (English) but not my Wife (Edinburgh born, Scottish!!!!) so we felt that this was a little odd, seeing how this restaurant is in Edinburgh?? Other than that, our bill was £177. We left them £185. We had a wonderful meal. We will return, and we would highly recommend!

We booked as my husband is coeliac and he wanted to try their fish and chips. He said the batter was brilliant. Two of the three desserts were also gluten free. It would be great if they stocked gluten free beer

Lovely dinner tonight, can't fault the staff and the restaurant was really nice! Will definitely be back.Steak and lobster was very tasty.

Great menu, reasonably priced, good quality seafood and nice interior. Will definitely be back.

Lovely place. A lot of fried choices on the menu but what we had was good

Loved it. Staff excellent and food superb will be back

Service and food was perfect. Can’t wait to go again

Great food and lovely staff. Decor is very stylish and sophisticated

We visited for the first time on Sunday 22nd June and were greeted with friendly faces and shown promptly to our table. The team were professional, and made us feel very at home. The decor gives a calm and relaxed atmosphere which we enjoyed. Hubby had the Monkfish tail and said it was really good. I had sirloin steak and it was cooked exactly as requested and tasted delicious. Overall a good experience and would recommend people give it a try.

The staff were very friendly and the service was efficient. Our choice of meals ranged from fish to crab and lobster. All were well prepared, presented and tasted very good. Well done.
