The crab cake looked very unassuming but it was probably the best I’ve had in the south. My only drawback was the very limited beer selection. I love craft beer and Atlanta is chock full of breweries, so Heineken and Corona should not be my only choice.”

Here’s what one reviewer says about Escobar. “This was at EscoSeafood. The crab claws were amazing and a nice size. The fried shrimp were great. The charbroiled oysters left so much to be desired, they werr over-cooked and seemed to have been sitting in the window too long. The waitresses were really nice and they helped each other out, which was good to see. I would repeat a trip there, maybe minus the oysters.”
