Beaches Seafood of Milton

I don't want to trash this restaurant as I've never dined in. The inside bar area looks nice as is the atmosphere. Staff is nice as well. BUT if you are buying blue crabs for takeout do not buy here. I've ordered 5 times in the last 2 years and I've been disappointed every time. I ask for a dozen mediums with heavy seasoning and they just look nasty. Some times the meat is mushy like they're overcooked and the seasoning is black every time.

Enjoyed a great Crab Cake dinner last night. Very little filler... lots of lump crab. Plenty of delicious looking platters of crab legs and shrimp came out of that kitchen. Our server Roseanne was terrific. Did a great job taking care of a busy dining room. There was another server working (blonde w/a ponytail) who was the exact opposite. She actually screamed at a customer in the middle of the dining room. I can understand the negative service reviews if she was their waitress. Since SoDel has monopolized the Bethany, Rehoboth and Lewes areas, it's nice to have the independent neighborhood restaurants that have popped up here in Milton. Beaches, Po'Boys and The Nook are putting Milton on the culinary map.

Mediocre all around. Service started off great and they were helpful with some requests we had. But then gradually we were checked on less and less especially after the food came. Food was basic and extremely flavorless.
The maryland crab soup tasted like it was made with canned tomato sauce and potatoes...which would be fine if it weren't for the fact there was no flavor to the soup at all. It lacked body and spice and was just disappointing. If you're from the area, you know good crab soup has some common components which this was lacking completely. We added so much pepper to it just to get a little taste to it.
We asked about the stuffed shrimp and were told there were 7 in the meal, there were 2. The fries were cold and soggy almost reminiscent of French fries from a school Cafeteria. The grilled chicken sandwich was tasteless. If we had been checked on again after the food came out I would have asked for mayo and pickles to add in hopes that maybe it would help, but sadly we didn't see a server again. I did manage to get Tabasco to add but that did nothing for how the sandwich tasted.
We had been wanting to try this place for a while and we were just flat out disappointed with it.
