Great prices and very meaty crabs no matter the size. Good specials on crabs like $1, 1.50,$2 & $3 per crabs deals. Best sweet corn I ever tasted i stop in 2-3 times a week.

I ordered crabs from Lady Frances for the first time yesterday. They did not disappoint! Had family in from out of state who hadn’t had crabs in 4 years. The crabs were great! Full of meat and seasoned to perfection. This will be my go to place from here on out.

This is only the second time I have ever purchased crabs out. I was not disappointed. I heard a lot great things about this place and everything was true. Crabs had really good flavor and we’re Hot and ready when promised. Corn was sweet and hot too. I love this place. I won’t go anywhere else.

I know good food when I taste it. Since I was 12 over 25 years ago when they first opened I’ve been coming here and the crabs were the best I’ve had. Never one bad batch and when my mom was alive this was the only place we ever got crabs. Thank you guys❤️

Lady Frances knows how to steam crabs!!! They always come out perfectly. Heavy, full crabs and never watered down. Always our go to for crabs during the summer. Super nice staff. We’re lucky to be right down the road from them.

Absolutely the BEST crabs I have ever had!! Got together with friends recently and got several dozen to go. They were seasoned just right, (and I know that is subjective to the eater), but what’s not subjective is the fact that every one was heavy and FULL!!! Very pleased with Lady Frances. I will definitely be going back for more crabs from there!!
