Description
Riggins Crabhouse has been serving pound-and-eat steamed crabs in Lantana for 20-some years. Sadly, it looks the part. The tables, small and cramped, are not ideal for eating food this messy in such close proximity to your dining companions. A bright, blue mural of Florida ocean life on one wall is mirrored by actual fish tanks mounted inside picture frames on another. Every last one of those surfaces - including the brown carpeting - sports a sheen of spattered crab guts. The food has a banquet-hall quality to it -- it's haphazardly produced and presented and devoid of any modernity. The Maryland-style crabs, though, are done well: Steamed over beer and coated in Old Bay, they're Riggins' one saving grace.
