My mouth waters just thinking about this place…

It was the scene of the best date ever, one for the books. Not just for the company, of course, but also because of the atmosphere and the menu fare. Seafood. And seafood. And so much good juju packed into a small place that you really can’t help but stay all night.

Great beer, for starters. And the friendliest staff you could ever meet. Probably because it is one of West Palm’s most loved family owned establishments for over 20 years. Specializing in Maryland blue crabs, they are so well known for their crabs that there is always a steady stream of patrons at the back door where their little hole in the wall seafood market (counter 🙂 keeps a busy pace.  But we go for the love… where Mama and the kids who tend bar, cook the crabs, wait on the customers will all slide into our booth at one point or another to exchange hugs, kisses and lots of laughs. We love this place, inside and out.

Tuesday nights are all you can eat garlic crabs and I will get seriously cranky if we don’t get there pretty early because it takes time to eat garlic crabs. I enjoy the family so much, I just want time to hang out, like going to a family function or your best friends house. It’s always a good time and you are always stuffed when you leave.

It’s also a place where you can still get one of Florida’s specialties: frog legs. I won’t try to convince you if you have never had them or aren’t a fan but if you are… oh. my. ga.  I once ate so many frog legs I made myself sick one night and never regretted it for a minute. It was really due to the gorgeous garlic butter that Riggins is really known for, but you just can’t help yourself when the frog legs are done this well.

Another thing to try if you love fries… are their curly fries. Not just an ordinary fry, but one of their famous sides that will come with your entree or crabs.

Can’t say enough good things about this place, but as a closing note and worth consideration is that if you can’t finish your all you can eat crabs, guess what? Mama will pack them up to go… No lie. Leftovers here, rule and it will keep you coming back time and time again. Date or no date, I promise you that. And any date that brings you here, you better know that they are a keeper!
