You know a place is good when it’s hard to find parking on a weeknight. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I had the Crab Imperial which was so super flaky and rich – very much a stick-to-your-ribs kind of meal.

I went on a thursday for lunch. Atmosphere was well decorated. Got the crab dip and Buffalo shrimp appetizers. Shrimp was average (I wouldn’t get again), crab dip was good tho. The crab cake sandwich was good as well. The peanut butter pie was fabulous, nice and light dessert. We stayed there for 3 hours and never felt rushed to leave which was nice, we had alot of catching up to do with the girls. One person in our group got the grilled oysters, I tried one and I would recommend that. Beachy theme boozy drinks. Overall, I would come back again to try other items off the menu.

I’ve visited this crab house before and I have never purchased crabs so small and hollow. I purchased a half dozen of steamed crabs and the size and weight were disgraceful. The manager for tonight name was Hope. Hope has a very unpleasant attitude and I will not be returning. I really would like the owner to read this in hopes that they will improve. Each of the crabs smelled of ammonia. Each crab was spoiled and the cook put so much season, I’m guessing to mask the bad crabs. #disgusting #distasteful

I am not supporting this business again, I’ve tried to give them one last chance but I will not. Paid $47 dollars for nothing. Was supposed to receive two sides with my crab cake and only got fries. $14.99 for 6 pieces of shrimp. I was bettter off going to the market.

Two things that make a great place: the food & the service. Reter’s nails them both. Everyone working there seems to be having fun. That makes for a great environment. Carly was fantastic! The mix crab soup/cream of crab was really good. The large crabs, all heavy! Time to get crackin…

Great food and fun atmosphere. Service was quick after a 35 minute wait. 4 stars because we waited 90 minutes for a lobster meal. We had a party of 10. All other entrees and appetizers on time and hot!

Decent atmosphere. Crabs were a nice size but bland. Ordered the stuffed shrimp imperial and it was terrible. There was not a true imperial sauce just mayo. Sent the stuffed shrimps back waiter charged me for it anyway. Also ordered the buffalo shrimp bites and lobster roll which were fair. If you are looking for authentic Maryland seafood this is not it but still a decent experience.
