Laughing Crab Catering

I saw this food truck at the Matthews Alive festival in Matthews NC and decided to try a crab cake sandwich. The whole experience was awful. I tried to pay with my credit card, and their equipment was not working properly. After several attempts to swipe my card and it not working I sent my boyfriend to get cash. My sandwich was ready and I set it down in front of my while I stood there waiting for him to get back so I could pay for it. The one guy in the truck was so rude and disrespectful. The woman who was working told him about the card reader and that I was going to go to the ATM and he snarled at me that I couldn’t have the sandwich then. I should have just left it there and walked away, but I politely said my boyfriend would be back in a few minutes, which he was. I paid for my food and left feeling completely disrespected and embarrassed. And to top it off the crab cake was not good. It was soggy and had no texture and barely any crab in it, and for a small sandwich it was $ 11. Do not give your money to these people. They need to work on professionalism, and their product is not good at all.

We have an annual event in Northern Virginia that these guys participate in. The food has always been tops. The prices are also reasonable for the generous portions you receive.

Ok for a food truck. At Blackbeard festival in Hampton va. Had crab cake sandwich. It was good nothing amazing. Expect to pay festival prices.
My husband has the gator sandwich, it was good.
Overall the food was ok. Nothing amazing

Horrible, we had a soft crab sandwich, a crab cake sandwich & fries. The crab cake tasted like celery you couldn’t even taste the crab & the soft shell crab was real fishy tasting like it was old. The fries where Grady they don’t even drain them!

The lengthy menu features many typical seafood entrees like fish and chips, but since they seem emphatic about the crab cakes, I went that route. I also though rockfish was a good locavore-​type choice. At the Atlantic City Seafood Festival, I waited around 40 minutes. A Unilocal commenter and someone who worked there suggested that lines are usually even longer.
I almost always like crab cakes but rarely find them spectacular. Faidley’s is at the top of the pack thanks to its unusually high crab percentage. Laughing Crab has a very good one. I liked the rockfish sandwich. It had an appealingly light touch with the batter. This is where I will inevitably disappoint my readers with my dearth of seafood adjectives, but I enjoyed the taste; it wasn’t just your run-​of-​the-​mill inoffensive plainish-​type fish. It tastes a little like catfish which doesn’t make sense scientifically. So I’d welcome constructive criticism from veteran rockfish reviewers.
