What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Two Mile Crab House & Crush Bar offers a lively waterfront dining experience with a focus on fresh seafood, particularly crabs. Diners rave about the beautiful sunset views and the fun, messy atmosphere. However, some reviews mention inconsistencies in food temperature and quality, and occasional service hiccups.
"Two Mile Crab House features a wide variety of seafood, including local catches and favorites such as crab legs and lobster. The setting is beautiful as it sits on the back bay overlooking a small marina. There is ample seating outside as well as inside seating for those who desire it. The sunset views are gorgeous! The menu includes baskets and platters and a wide array of appetizers, so everyone should be able to find something for them. The crab fries and crab cakes wwre excellent. The orange crush drink special was also wonderful!"

"Seems to be a popular place with the locals and visitors.T his is high volume so there are a lot of people here with picnic bench seating.
The bar was well stocked with everything you need and they got a special called an orange crush which is a cocktail with orange vodka, it was very refreshing.
Hannah was our waitress and did a fantastic job serving the 8 other people I was with.
Appetizers seemed hot and fresh. I would definitely suggest the stuffed pretzel which was delicious.
I got the seafood broil combo which was "good" but not warm enough. They were out of king crab legs during this day so we got snow crab clusters which was underwhelming due to the lack of seasoning on the crab. Nice to see another seafood establishment in the area I think the food could be served warm which would have gave it a better review."
Andre Natale
"I visited a clubhouse that our friends’ family often goes to for the first time, and the atmosphere was great. I usually don’t eat crab, but I ordered it this time—and it was so delicious that we ended up ordering more several times. The service was excellent, and we didn’t have to wait long at all. If you’re ever in Wildwood, I definitely recommend this place!"

The Jersey Shore, Part II
The Crab House at Two Mile Landing is one of our favorite restaurants down the Shore. I know that is a crazy statement coming from someone who doesn’t even eat shellfish. We went for lunch and ordered EVERYTHING.
