Editorial Review of Cy's Crab House

Don't miss 60-cent-shrimp Sundays at Cy's.
As if there could be a better deal. Every Sunday through Thursday after 4 p.m., Cy's 60-cent oysters and shrimp in the bar. And the shrimp aren't teeny suckers, either. This off-the-beaten-path seafood joint offers a relaxed, no frills service and decor and a super value for your buck. Other seafood dishes include giant grilled prawns, lobster tail, jumbo sea scallops and, of course, crab (snow, king and dungenous varieties).

Menu categories also include fryer treats, land lubbers and (oddly enough) Mediterranean, which features a long list of kebabs and the like, leaving plenty of options for those not wowed by limitless oysters. Still, the oyster special is the draw here, so expect massive crowds on Sundays.

There are plenty of cocktail options in the Mai Tai-vein, the atmosphere is relaxed and "I'll have a dozen" is the most popular phrase. Outdoor seating in the summer makes this a great spot to kick back with a bloody mary and munch on calamari and ceviche.

Average cost: $21-$30
