If you come here try the nachos! They are homemade and really nice. We also had the crab and jerk chicken and everything was excellent ??

We ate crab and chips.I really wanted to go there and eat crab...(!)Well... that was good.But... was this what I expected?! Well...no...(well, so very tiny). I wanted to eat. I ate!I don't have anything to compare it to yet, so... I liked it.

Food was OK. Service was terrible, you kind of expect this now days at sea sides as they are staffed with kids working for minimum wage.Also for the people complaining about service charge, just ask them to remove it. I’m happy to pay a service charge if it’s a group of adults but not for me and my partner and two children. Get out of here with that.

Went to the Rum & Crab Shack for my birthday which was yesterday, the service and the staff were absolutely amazing and they was absolutely awesome, that's the best food I've had at a restaurant in a very very long time! Thank you so much I totally enjoyed my time at the Rum and Crab Shack. The 4 different rums I had yesterday were just right up my street. Totally had a amazing time in St. Ives... I will definitely be back at the Rum & Crab Shack very soon. ????????Roots

Wonderful experience, upon entering we felt like we were back to the pirates era. The food was amazing, we had crispy squid, seafood chowder and fish and chips (so crispy outside and soft inside) would definitely recommend!
No food being served until 5pm and customer service was none existent.

Food... outstanding.Service... questionable.The food was incredible, but a lack of knives n forks and serviettes was a basic I'd expect, but sadly lacking.And when a waiter says, "Sorry, but we haven't got enough wine glasses so you'll have to do with these... [short glasses]".Sorry, but basics are essential. The food may be amazing but it's not just that, it's the entire package. If you get that wrong you've got the lot wrong.Don't get me wrong, if you can suffer dire basics the food is outstanding.

Visited yesterday with my partner - picked this place due to the vegan options available for me and my partner being able to still get fresh seafood. My partner said his food was lovely and really enjoyed it - I ordered the vegan jambalaya. The waitress put it down and I began eating it noticing that the seitan had been swapped out for tofu (I purposefully didn't order the other vegan dish because I didn't want tofu). When I asked her she went back to the kitchen and said 'Sorry they didn't have any so they just swapped it.' She did offer to swap it for something else but the only other vegan option had tofu as well and my partners food had already been put down. Would have been nice if the chef had communicated this before starting to cook the order before essentially either giving me the option to return the dish and watch my partner eat his food, or just hopefully be happy with what he presented. Also, soy (tofu) and wheat (seitan) are two of the biggest allergens in the food industry, to swap them without any communication that this had been done could have ended in disaster. The waitress was lovely, discounted some items from the menu and apologised - but shameful on the chefs part to not communicate this to us and a breach of health practices to let me start eating it without information me of such a massive change. If you eat fish then seems alright, don't think I'd recommend if you have dietary requirements.
