Ben's Crab Seafood & Bar

The calamari that we came for lived up to its online praise, with a flavorsome, crispy batter. It wasn't so thick that you couldn't taste the squid, or so thin that it would shatter from a single fork prod. Most importantly - someone in the kitchen had a deft and restrained hand with the Cajun seasoning. It was just there to provide a tingle and spice, but not so much that we'd need to lap at the fire hydrant after dinner. In essence, it was - without exaggeration - one of the best fried calamari we'd ever encountered. The only thing that would've pushed this over the top would have been Thai sweet chili sauce at the table (arguably the best condiment for fried calamari. I'll fight you on that.) I was initially disappointed that the serving size was smaller than I would've liked, but I've also never met a serving size big enough to satisfy me, so take that as you will. While I would've happily made a dinner out of six baskets of fried calamari, my husband has a far better mind about ea

Great Smyrna crab boil spot! Solid seafood appetizers and your choice of seasoning and spice on the boiled crab legs. Thoughtful and attentive wait staff keeps things running smoothly. The building itself had a great layout with a variety of indoor and outdoor seating options.

Happy Anniversary to my husband of 13 years! We stopped by Ben's on a whim for lunch. The dinning room has a classy but laid back atmosphere. The service was great. I got the fish and chips, which was served with Cajun fries. It was a nontraditional but delicious flavor fish, more than I could eat. I highly recommend checking this place out if you are in the area.
