A+ food (Audrey wrote in the sand). Have to love the setting, sand for kids, live music, and variety of solid food. We go out of our way to enjoy this spot.

My go to and my favorite restaurant in MD, although we haven’t been here for years, because they don’t open in the winter, the food is still good as always, we originally came for all you can eat crab and chicken, however they discontinued it. Not disappointed! Kids ate a lot! This is more a local restaurant and located in the middle of residential area, we were so lucky we found this 9 years ago!! We tried to come once a year but they only open seasonal and couldn’t make it all the time! Love this always! Food are fresh and delicious! Worth the trip! Chocolate lava cake was so good!

First time dining here. Had to wait 40 minutes but on a Summer Saturday night that's not unusual. Got a really good peach monitor from the bar and walked down to the marina.
We dined indoors which is typical crab house with a lively atmosphere and a hopping bar. Our blue crabs were very good. Not quite as large as we like but not tiny either. Very meaty and flavorful. Crab bisque was delicious and so were waffle fries. Service was quick and on top of everything.

Our server Sky was so wonderful and attentive to our needs. We’ve sat in Sky’s section before and asked for her section again. We love the fried pickles, steamed crabs, fried chicken. All of the food is sooooooo good. We live one street over and love coming here on the weekends. The live music and ambiance makes us feel like we are on vacation. 10/10 highly recommended!!!!
