Restaurant review: Cracked Crab in Rocheport
steve from troy, il on 10/14/2004 08:13 PM:
This is an excellent restaurant. We got the buckets of crab and shrimp. They have the main entree along with new potatoes and corn on the cob. This is served along with bread made fresh. All of the food is very good and the prices are reasonable. I would recommend it to anyone.

Steve - You're making me hungry. What is the name & location of the restaurant?

A friend and I made the trek to Rocheport from Columbia yesterday and ate lunch at the Cracked Crab. I would concur with the previous writers that this is a good place to stop. It is right off the trail - you can't miss it. Numerous choices for beer, good seafood choices, and very accommodating for cyclists. The food was great (I had the Crab Louie) and the beer was cold. It was tempting to have a second (and maybe a third?) brew, but with a 92-degree temperature and a 15-mile ride back to Columbia, we overcame the temptation. Prices were reasonable. My friend and I plan on a return trip to the CC very soon.

Not that great you could tell the bread is frozen par baked bread. The staff leaves something to be desired. The seafood isn't fresh like they portray. At least they have alcohol something postive for so many negatives.

Sarah must have caught them on a bad day. I was there three times last summer, and each time the service was excellent as was the food. The last time I was there I had the bucket of shrimp, and it was great. No negatives about this place whatsoever. Can't wait for it to open in April so I can go back.

been to the CC twice and the food and hospitality were execellent. the smoked brisket melted in my mouth and they don't shurk on portion size.

Evidently this is closed now... we attempted to go a couple of weeks ago and it was for sale.. ?

It is hard to make a living on the Trail as the small towns in which many of the businesses are
located don't have enough population to support these businesses. Another reason why it is
important to support the businesses along the trail to keep them open.

I WORKED THERE AND IT ISN'T WHAT IT APPEARS TO BE. THE FOOD WASN'T ALL THAT GOOD AND HOW IT WAS COOKED...YUCK. IT DIDN'T LAST THERE OR IN JEFFERSON CITY. A LOT OF LITTLE LIES AND ONE BIG CLOSED DOWN.

We really miss having the Cracked Crab in Rocheport. We really enjoyed the food.

The building is for sale if you are interested in returning it to its former glory.

I really miss the Cracked Crab...such good food. Will Someone take over that building and make is something for us bikers? Rocheport needs more "on-the-trail" businesses.

Cracked Crab is indeed gone, former building owner did not renew lease with restaurant operator. Building was sold a month or so ago to new owners. Rumor has it they will use building as a residence, so don't expect to see any restaurant there in the immediate future. Rocheport does have other fine dining opportunities, Abigail's and the Les Bourgeois Bistro, and besides the Trailside Cafe', the Rocheport General Store on Central (what passes for a business district) Street will be open by the DNR trail ride. General Store will have coffee, sandwiches, beer and a limited selection of dry goods and foodstuffs for purchase.

There is a Cracked Crab open in downtown Jeff City now just off High Street on Madison. It is
the same folks who ran the place in Rocheport and has been open a year or 2.
