| - The Crab Fix has been sated!
Chad E. previously saw my dilemma with another Crab Place in Wake Forest and told me about this establishment.
If someone asked me to describe in a few words what Hole In The Wall Crab Shack is all about, my response would be; "Delectable, flavorful and above all else quality."
I want to forewarn anyone that is thinking of visiting this slice of heavenly goodness - the prices aren't your cheap Red Lobster variant so if you're expecting inexpensive you need to revisit your crab craving. However, if you want blue crab cooked to perfection this is the place to be. Additionally and this isn't even a second place mention, more like tied for first - the Crab cakes are Deee'lump'tious! Yes I just made that word up, and threw Lump in the middle of it. Think Delicious, Sumptuous, Scrumptious and it's all about one giant patty of Jumbo Lump Crab Meat. No filler anywhere to be found, just a monstrous handful of jumbo lump crab meat, smashed on a flat top crisped up and placed on a bun. A couple other items to note: Get the Lemonade it's more than worth it; Sweet, tart and tangy and made right in house. People have raved about their hush-puppies and I'll add my two cents on them being all that and more.
Midway through our meal, since the illustrious and oft-mentioned Brit was with me, we got a reprieve from the crab love fest; more so my love fest than hers but that's beside the point she was eating vicariously through me anyway. Garmin, and I hope I'm spelling his name right, one of the owners came out and chatted with us. I had told the lovely ladies at the order counter that they are listed as Closed on Yelp, and wanted to give them a heads up about it. He came out to thank us for mentioning this. He sat down and we chatted for awhile. We talked about his business, the reason for his move from the original location, the price point, value and quality of his food. He's a great guy who expresses his passion for his food by putting a memorable meal together on your plate/basket or your to-go bag. He's been in the crab business for years, but for this place truly being opened for a week at the present location and only 8.5 months at the previous one it's amazing to see and hear of the success that is greeting him, the staff and his family.
This place is now on our official food map and marked as a 'must visit' for when we come to Charlotte in the future.
