    The restaurant was out of Blue Crab Claws by 6:00 PM.
    Bob Chinn's Crabhouse - WheelingResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for dining with us, William, and for sharing your feedback. The Blue Crab Claws are one of our top-selling items, and we're sorry they were sold out by the time you arrived. Due to their popularity and limited availability, they can go quickly—especially on busy evenings. We understand the disappointment and hope you'll visit us again soon so we can make sure you get to enjoy them!

    We started off our great dining experience with some deliciously fresh sushi. Following the sushi appetizer we then ordered and received the grrilled Halibut (very fresh and mild) along with an excellently cooked NY strip steak. Our waiter was timely and attentive without being overbearing. Overall Bob Chinn's delivered an excellent dining experience!

    Excellent service from our waiter,Frederico. The food, as usual, was well prepared. Our table had crabcake bites, shrimp tempura and fried shrimp and filet mignon. Steak was exactly medium rare as requested. We were in the main seating area so it was really loud. It is expensive, but worth it for the prime meat and fresh seafood.
