A little gem of a place! Small menu and run by super friendly Robin. The cream of crab soup is amazing and so is the creamy mustard dipping sauce. So glad we found it and we'll definitely be back!!

We lived in Maryland for 10 years and know what excellent crab cakes are. These were delicious but very expensive. It was $42 for two 4.5 ounce crab cakes and two small sides. We were the only ones there and service was extremely slow as the owner was the only one there. She was preparing the food and also handling orders.

Went with my wife for a date night, what a wonderful spot. The food was great. Robin was really nice, only wished we had known before about the pre-order for a dozen blue crabs ahead of time. Next time we'll try that!

This place is not a gem? Not sure what experience other folks had here, but the mash of nonsense they call imperial stuffing is horrible, and overpriced. Good luck finding any crab meat or shrimp in anything at all. Also, how about cleaning the place up a bit. The only thing they do well is the soups. Way overpriced and not good. Service is amateur hour. Sorry, but this was not a good experience.

I moved here four years ago from Maryland and cannot believe I am now just visiting this gem! Robin goes above and beyond to treat her guests well...even calling me a day prior to confirm my gluten-free request and prepping gluten-free entrees prior to my arrival. They do not skimp on the crab meat either. Everything was excellent and I plan on returning any time I need an Old Bay fix!

Excellent food and service. The cream crab cake soup was the best I've ever had, full of crab. The crab cakes were delicious. Prices were fair and service great. No ambiance but that did not detract from an excellent meal. Highly recommend.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how this restaurant got so many positive reviews. Firstly yelp had a $10 off two entrees at this place which they didn't accept. We were told that they don't give discounts on weekends. Nowhere did it state that. My fiance and I both ordered their stuffed jumbo shrimp, which came with four shrimp. I'm sorry to say that was not the case. The shrimp was not jumbo size, and I had two, and my fiance had 3. When we told our server, her reply was the chef remembers he gave us four shrimp cause he peeled them. They were also out of a lot of their sides. And the portions are tiny. This place is overpriced. And they bring us over some bread that was purchased from Publix with no butter. Sorry to say we won't be returning. We can find much better restaurants to give $90 to.

We loved it! The “Homesick” Crab soup was the best I have ever eaten! That's saying something since we are from Maryland & live on the water in Delaware! We shall return with friends!

As a born and raised Marylander this restaurant was fabulous. The soup, crab dip, crab cake slider and steam shrimp were excellent. Robin and Laura were so friendly and accommodating. I will definitely return again soon.

Great taste of Maryland away from home - and happy hour deals are awesome!! The maryland crab soup is legitimate and if you call ahead you can get hard shells - Laura the s waitress is a true Marylander and was fantastic!!!

The food is perfect! The crab cakes are some of the best and don’t get me started on the brisket sliders. Small place but amazing service, delicious food, and very clean.
