TONIGHT: Last chance for all-you-can-eat crab at Basil’s

All good things must come to an end.

Today is your last chance to enjoy all-you-can-eat crab legs at Basil's on Market, according to their Instagram post.

After serving a ton or more of crab — literally — during its "All-You-Can-Eat" crab special on Fridays during Lent, Basil's on Market's downtown Dayton restaurant had extended the special offer on Wednesday nights through summer.

The promotion will be available from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. today, Basil's on Market Dayton general manager Jason Kirkwood said. The deal includes all-you-can-eat crab legs and side dishes for $30.

The special offer proved to be quite popular during Lent, as customers plowed through a half-ton or more of crab every Friday night.
