MENU

At Riggins Crabhouse and Seafood Market in Lantana, it’s all about the seafood. It’s well-known for its Maryland-style steamed crab. Apart from blue crab, another signature dish is garlic crab, offered as “all you can eat” for $26. The menu offers other seafood favorites such as lobster, shrimp, calamari, mussels, scallops, mahi-mahi and much more.

ATMOSPHERE

Riggins is ready for messes, covering its tables with paper liners and placing a roll of paper towels on them.

OUR FAVORITE FOOD/PRICE

The stuffed jumbo shrimp ($19.95) was amazing. The stuffing is the crab cake spread over the shrimp and coated in Riggins’ imperial sauce, which includes mayonnaise and mustard. The rich, creamy and slightly sweet stuffing truly made the dish. The spinach, artichoke and crab dip appetizer came in a close second with a thick texture and plenty to go around.

REASON TO GO

Tough day at work? Just order some crab and hammer away at your dinner. There’s something about interacting with your food that takes the dining experience to a whole new level. And even if your meal choice requires only a fork, rest assured, it’ll be delicious.

SERVICE

The servers are all trained to assist customers in shelling the seafood, so you get the most out of your meal.

NOISE LEVEL

Noise is not an issue here.

KID-FRIENDLY?

There were a number of families with children in tow while we dined. And a kid’s menu offers seafood, chicken and
cheeseburgers.
