Today, I tried the Crab Sandwich (see picture above) and a Homemade Arnold Palmer.  This wasn't the first time I had gotten this combo since I tried Feelin' Crabby when they first started off a few weeks ago.  I noticed there was a vast improvement between the two experiences.  First, the seasoning of the Crab Sandwich has gotten much better.  They have figured out the right balance of seasonings to make the whole sandwich taste bright without being too heavy.  Second, the mixture of crab used now between local and imported crab is very good.  The amount of crab you get is impressive with nice lumps of crab throughout.  Third, the presentation has also gotten much better with the nice grilled buns adding texture and the chopped parsley and red peppers makes the whole sandwich light and fresh.  Last, the Homemade Arnold Palmer was also better since this time they hadn't run out of ice (which everyone knows is an intregal part of the Arnold Palmer).  Still, if I had to nitpick, I believe the Homemade Tea used in the Arnold Palmer seemed to be a sweet tea, which made it a tad too sweet.  Also, for those of you who are carb counting, they even have a Crab Salad that has been tailored for you.


Final Verdict: All in all, this is a very solid Crab Sandwich but, with the only reservations I have coming from the price.  This is a price that I feel pushes it close to another crustacean offering out there, which I admit can be unfair to compare with.  So, notwithstanding that, I think Feelin' Crabby is definitely something worth a try and maybe even an occasional splurge here or there.
