The calamari was by far the best thing we had. The crab cake was full of meat but had no seasoning and the tartar sauce was also bland. The waitress was also a bit brusque and not around a lot.

Great riverside view. Very nicely seasoned blue crabs. I would say we expected better of the Lump Crabcake Platter. The crabcakes were a bit small for the $50 price, especially when compared to the size at Chick and Ruth's Deli, and the sides were just okay. However, I did like how the crab cakes had the orange roe from the crabs, and the taste was excellent.Other than that, good service even though it's a very busy place. We were given a 30 min wait at around 3pm on a Sunday. However, we were seated within 15 min and were very pleased. It took us a bit for someone to come to our table initially, but after that, we were tended to frequently.

This is usually our go-to for crabs, and the crabs are typically always on point. As far as there other dishes, depends on the day unfortunately. There have been days when e erything is cooked perfectly and there has been days when it's over cooked and dried out....and everyone knows seafood there is a fine line between perfectly done and over done. Just wish they were more consistent with their quality and detail of the cook on the food they put out.The atmosphere is really Great as their location is right on the water, Family owned and run restaurant.

Absolute institution for crabs. Get the crab dip and a dozen or the sandwich, it’s all good and fresh.Parking: Lot can feel hectic if you haven’t been before, but there are tons of spots.Kid-friendliness: My kids were treated like humans and enjoyed a pretty long stay while the adults picked crabs. Servers are legit.

Come for the crabs stay for the view! And the beer! And the service! Really delicious crabs and any form of crab will satisfy you. The whole crabs are great and seasoned so well, and the crab pretzel is a delicious starter. The margs are good and the beer so cold. Really great views of the water. The service is always spectacular.

I have been going to cantlers since I was old enough to remember, I grew up on the docks with the peelers , the cantlers family has been great to us and I am very appreciative of all the memories and experiences I had and continue to have , I love the food & the staff ( I might be gettin special treatment ?) I recommend trying it ,
