Backfins Crabhouse

Backfins Crabhouse is a seafood restaurant on Stadium Drive in Wake Forest. The seafood is fresh and made to order, and the signature crab cakes are what the place is known for. The dining room is casual and the welcome is friendly.

Blue crab is priced at market, so what it costs on any given day depends on what the market is doing. If you would rather eat at home, orders can be placed online and carried out, and the kitchen aims for the same experience either way.
