First visit at Twisted Crab. I order the T1 which had a crab leg, sausage, and shrimp, potatoes and corn. I did swap the corn out for a boiled egg. I also had the twisted seasoning. Everything blended well together and my server was pleasant. My total was just a little over $40. Definitely worth it and highly recommended. More
