Outstanding crabs! A bit of a drive for me but love them. It's a small carry-out for seafood live and cooked.
I loved the crabs! I happened to get the Crab Monsters—bigger than jumbo and true to size. They were absolutely huge and delicious. I eat crabs often, and these did not disappoint. The seasoning wasn’t spread evenly at first, but after shaking the bag a bit, it balanced out perfectly—not too salty, which I appreciate. Every single crab was cooked just right—no bad ones in the bunch. I’ll definitely be back for a dozen. They were a lot, but totally worth it!
Carry-out only.
The Old Bay is old not flavorful can't taste it You will be better off getting old base seasoning from somewhere else.
The store is dirty. I asked for a fish sandwich one day and it came back. The fish sandwich was greasy like they didn’t change the grease. if you look in the refrigerators of the display, it’s dirty if you complain about your service instead of them, fixing it, they make excuses and they can sometimes be condescending in a rude.Go to Seaside Glen Burnie. we previously ordered three dozen of mail large when we got the order. It was three dozen of medium females. We called to let them know they gave us the wrong order. They were rude. Do you want good customer service the right order and good seafood go to seaside in Glen Burnie seaside Glen Burnie.
I've gotten crabs and crab legs from this location quite a few times over the past 3 years or so. They're usually good, but my beef is with the cream of crab soup. It literally tasted like someone took canned Campbell's potato soup and cream of celery soup and put backfin crab meat in it. I don't recall it tasting like this previously. I had so many potatoes in it I questioned if it was actually clam chowder lol but I was assured that was how it was made. Well, if it is then yall need to just take it off the menu at this point. However, let me tell you about those oatmeal cookies they sell in there...they are delicious!! Whoever makes those, they are 5 star! I will be back for more cookies lol. If you go in there and there isn't any that day, I probably bought them all.
I've had crabs from this location in the past ( a few years ago), and they were really good!!! However, this time 5/31/25, not so much. I ordered the jumbo. The meat was extremely mushy in all of them and they lacked adequate seasoning. After the first crab, I was hoping it was an isolated situation. But, the entire dozen was the same. In addition, the seasoning had a pungent vinegar smell. I was very disappointed, especially considering the price of $169.00 for a dozen. I'm not certain if I'll return.
Crab price increased by 20 from Thursday to Friday before memorial day. Crabs had absolutely no taste or flavor

This was my first time at this place and I was not disappointed! However, I may be a little biased. I'm located in Savannah, Georgia and I'm a huge blue crab connoisseur. The crabs weren't bad but I probably prefer them a little more seasoned and I'm so accustomed to Old Bay here so the new seasoning was different not as salty .... If needed I could relocate and be ok

I gave 5 stars because of the equality of the crabs. They were the best that i ever tasted. The amount of time i had to wait to get them was entirely too long. (2 hours)
