RIGGINS CRAB HOUSE (Palm Beach Co., Florida - Dining)

607 Ridge Rd, Lantana Rd, FL, 33462
Phone: (561) 586-3000
Type: Maryland-Style Crab House

This place is hands-down the best Maryland-style crab house in Florida! The last time I took Barry Weisbord there, he ate so many crabcakes, blue crabs and stone crabs, that we were worried he was going to founder. When you look around at all of the Baltimore area sports memorabilia decorating the place, it makes you nostalgic for a time long ago when Baltimore still had a major league baseball team. That may sound a little unfair, but I don't know how many times you can say, “well...maybe next year.”
