Lovely relaxed restaurant with friendly attentive staff, who were quick to serve us drinks even though it was almost full. I've not had scallops in ages and was glad to order them for my main - yum! Lovely local white wine too - I recommend you try.

What a find! Between this and Harbour Lights over the way, we’ve eaten extremely well during our Paignton trip. Highly recommend the tandoori monkfish, crab salad and creme brûlée. Service is wonderfully warm and welcoming. Toilets are top notch! For cooking geeks like me, a seat near the kitchen is a must. I’ve never seen such calm and collected work under pressure, these guys are great. Our massive compliments to the whole team, you’ve created something really lovely here and we’ll be back!

Loved the food, the team was also very friendly and we would definitely return. Yes - seeing other reviews - it is ‘find’ your own table & menu, plus order at the counter. Our young lad also thought #PinkJoe was funny. Enjoyed it. Last meal before we went home. Plan to go back.

We visited after reading the Trip Advisor reviews and were very glad we did. Delicious food that was a little more individual than the usual pub grub, and a free glass of wine included. We sat overlooking the harbour. Friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. We were surprised it wasn't busier on a Friday evening, but guess that is because it is a short walk away from the main sea front restaurants. Well worth a visit.

Was so excited after reading the reviews and seeing all the pictures of the food, but upon arrival just went from bad to worse, firstly not even greeted when when walked in no hello nothing, so found our own table after 10 minutes had to ask someone for a menu, and for a restaurant to be called CRAB and hammer to not have any full crabs was insane, then after ordering at the bar no table service for a restaurant that’s not cheap I find that very strange also had to pay first, and the card machine asks for a service tip which I did at 10% so was over £10, starters where ok not amazing but I ordered the special hot shellfish bowl came out like a soup menu said it had mussels no mussels in the dish the sauce was not very nice and no flavour to the seafood from pictures I’ve seen I was expecting a plate of shellfish with chips on the side not a soup, and chips in an extra bowl just a very weird dish for a SPECIAL at £45 and when I spoke to the waitress she said it was wrong and that they will make sure it’s changed for the next customers and that was it and walked off not even a sorry or a refund for not getting the dish that was on the website as a special - and that’s why restaurants should not be asking for a service tip before any service was given as the service was not very good no one came to ask us if the meal was ok just poor poor service will not be going again.

Have just returned from @Cantina who are trading from the Crab & Hammer restaurant for the summer season of 2024. The food was prepared and cooked to a very high standard. We chose a variety of the small plates (tapas) which were each sufficient to share between two. Absolutely delicious.

Starters were good, although the anchovy portion was a bit small compared to the whitebait. Two of us ordered the whole crab off the menu (£25) and we were very surprised when we received Spider crab!! It was ok, but it wasn’t a brown crab (as I’ve always received on previous visits) and I wouldn’t have ordered it if I’d known it was to be a spider crab! Small crab salad was a bit boring and uninspiring too. Service was sparse and having waited over 10 minutes for crab crackers, we had to ask for some in the end. It appeared that there was a shortage waiting staff. Unfortunately I didn’t enjoy this visit as much as previous visits, so we won’t be rushing back.

Fabulous fresh fishy lunch. Family of four with kids of 9 and 10 went for lunch on Friday. Delicious anchovies and whitebait as starters (had to fight the kids off!) then monkfish burger, mussels/scallops/crevettes in cream and Chardonnay. Kids had chicken/ fish with a crispy light batter. Great smiley service from the young staff. Perfectly chilled glass of Pinot. I felt like we had stumbled across a little gem! Cannot recommend highly enough.

Excellent crab sandwich . It had a decent amount of white crabmeat and came with fries and a small salad plus slaw. We also had a crab salad which had good amounts of separated white and brown crabmeat and was well priced. ..updated from 5 stars to 4 as we visited the following day and the white bread was dry and certainly one or two days old or cut and left for some hours.

Chilli and Garlic Seafood platter. No muscles unfortunately, Finn the waiter informed us, said it would be swapped out for monkfish and hake. Very happy with that Sub. The view of the harbour, the pink hazy sky, the waiting staff's friendliness and the kitchen staff's cheffing ability made this meal one of the best me and my Dad have ate this year. Not a word was said until we got to the brown crab, after devouring its other freinds of the sea in their garlic chilli broth. "Bloody good" my father and I grinned and nodded at each other, followed by a few moments of silence and reflection upon the glourious feast we had consumed. Some people find unearthly, holy experiences through heading into Mecca, others the Jerusalem, others still head to Lourdes. The time in the Crab and Hammer and eating this delicious meal was one of those experiences for my Pop and I. Thank you.

We arrived at opening time (11am) on a Sunday, as I was heading back to the midlands later that day. The restaurant was empty, but had many reserved signs on the tables, giving me confidence that I was about to have something special. My partner, my 2 children (11 and 1) and I were seated next to the folding windows overlooking the picturesque harbour. A high chair was provided for the baby with some small cutlery which was a nice touch. A few minutes were given to look over the menu, then drinks orders were taken, noting that the waiter would be right back to take our food order, to which he was. My partner and eldest chose Paninis. Safe options, no surprises with either. My youngest had had the children's fish goujons which were fantastic. Succulent pieces of fish in very light, crispy batter of which I polished off once I'd finished my own... Dressed Crab Salad. A few moments of bliss were had. I miss living by the sea for the fresh seafood! The only thing I'd suggest is maybe some fresh bread as there were a few bits of shell which can be left in. Thank you for some wonderful food and a happy ending to a great weekend in Paignton!

Predominantly seafood restaurant located at Paignton Harbour. Wonderfully enthusiastic young staff who appear to care greatly about the food they serve and the customer dining experience. I have tasted several arancini combinations in recent years, but the crab arancini starter was a new experience for me, and one that I would recommend to anyone.

Good attentive service. The starters were amazing. The mains of fresh fish were ok but we felt vegetables should be included in the price and the fish fillet portion size was adequate not generous. The roulade desserts were great. Wine good quality. Price point £118 for 2 with three course, 1 small glass of wine each and Olive nibbles. Parking available in a car park not far away using Ringo app. Lovely location near quay.

I walked in with my partner behind a couple, waited in line(I let the couple go first as we met at the door). Even though they saw us in line. They took the couple before, sat them. Then came back and said no more as the kitchen was going on a break. Awful! It's frustrating, as a local it would have probably been a place that I would eat out in regularly. In reply: they did not have a booking, they were walk-ins like us (they asked if there was a table). As mentioned, we were behind them. Seeing to one couple whilst another is line behind them, making us wait and then saying directly to a member of staff no more walk-ins, instead of speaking directly to us in the line, who walked in at the same time (seeing the fact that she also saw us waiting), then making us wait. It was really unfair.

Came here for my son's birthday meal. It was nice of the restaurant to put a Birthday banner up which was a nice surprise. The decor is lovely and staff very friendly. Lager drinks were very reasonable in price but I thought £30 for a Prosecco was a bit high. The food we ate was Oyster and a Calamari Starter, 2 x Warm platters, 1 x cold and a Fish and chips. The Oysters, Calamari and seafood platters were fantastic and were good value for money. The fish and chips was very disappointing. For the price there was no slice of lemon on the fish and no mushy peas. The batter was very sodden and brown and inside was the thinnest piece of cod. Our expectation would have been golden batter with flaky white chunks of cod. My wife couldn't eat it and to be fair when we said we were not prepared to pay for it they didn't quibble and did ask if she wanted something else but unfortunately the moment had gone. It was very disappointing on otherwise an excellent meal and I would definitely be back for the platter but won't risk the Fish & Chips again.

Our experience was mixed but overall we wouldn't return. Upon arriving we were quickly seated. The atmosphere was good and it looked really classy inside. It took 15-20 minutes before somebody came to take our drinks order. We were ready to order our mains but was told we couldnt yet, but the waitress would be back in just a moment. Nobody came back. We asked again if we could order, only to be told no. Finally somebody came and the starters came out. I had oysters, they were delicious but served room temperature. My partner had bread and olive oil/balsamic vinegar. There was that much olive oil in the pot you couldnt get to the vinegar at the bottom. We asked for more balsamic, only to be brought another pot that was again overly saturated in olive oil. The mains came, i had the king prawns and they were hands down the best prawns i had ever tasted. My partner had the crab gratin. It was nice at first but as you ate down from the top it became swimming in water to the point it was like goo. She could only eat half and although i love crab, i wouldnt have eaten it. To summarise: a great looking place let down by poor service. The food appears to be hit and miss.

Possibly the nicest & most professional waitress I've met in a long time, with attractive premises & a promising menu, BUT the food didn't live up to expectations sadly. Half a crab turned out to be a halved miniscule juvenile crab with barely any white meat on it at all (3 small mouthfuls at most) accompanied by a dish of red crab meat that didn't match the meagre portion of white meat. Starter was fine, cocktail drink was lovely, sharing bread also fine. Everything seemed extravagantly over-salted, even the fries. A small discount was given for the disappointing crab & my dinner companion had a replacement meal for her inedibly over-salted meal. Our other 2 companions were satisfied with their meals. I would not return, but again, the service was faultless. Chef & owner need to work on the over-seasoning & the crab sizes.

Visited today to celebrate our 47th wedding anniversary and you did not disappoint 👍 The service was over and beyond brilliant and Mary and Angela had pulled out all the stops to make it special for us. Beautiful food and lovely venue, we will certainly be visiting again👏👏👏👏

Interesting new restaurant, very friendly and welcoming staff. The food is ok, nothing stand out among the other excellent seafood restaurants in the local area. They go out of their way to try to educate you on the history of the company behind it, to the point it is far too much. Might be interesting to someone else though. The price point is very high for the portion size.

Best fish and chips I’ve had for a while. Don’t normally eat the batter, but it was so light and crispy. Lovely music playing too!

We were looking for a fish and chips shop in the Torre area and found this one. Staff friendly, they cook to order and it's shown in the taste - the fish and chips are excellent. Chips are battered and taste great; fish nice and chunky. Very reasonable price, highly recommend.

Haven’t been for a while because my grumble is I really don’t like the batter… it’s very very thick, not like traditional fish and chip fluffy, light batter so it’s too heavy for me. HOWEVER you cannot beat their chips. Such chippy chips! Still in the wrapper (swear adds to flavour) and the portions are considerably big compared to many other takeouts in the bay, prices just can’t be beaten here for your portion size. Chips cooked perfectly everytime.

We bought 2 tubs of jellied ells just before closing time and took them away to eat. They tasted and smelt awful and were thrown away. We returned the following day and explained what had happened but were not offered an apology or refund from the young lady who served us. It is important to note that things do go wrong occasionally, but the moment of truth is defined by how the matter is dealt with. This was very poor and unacceptable. We suggest that your customer service is improved radically, and your supplier is questioned. We note that it states on the tub that they must be stored at a constant 1 to 4 degrees centigrade
