“Great food. Very tasty!!“

“Wow.. I read reviews before stopping.. they had a great rating so we stopped. The service was suburb.. The food was surprisingly fresh and DELICIOUS!! The crab cakes had lumps of crab meat in them and they had some filler but that did not take away from the deliciousness Everything was amazing“

“Yesterday was my first time there, myself and a party of five. One member of our party arrived and had the table reserve the wait was 30 minutes, took that long for the rest of us to arrive; when we did we were seated rather fast. The crab bomb stole the show, best any of us ever had. Second runner up the crab soup also the baked potatoe was well portioned and was not dried out. The haddock was fried to perfection, and the cake dessert oh my, I ordered dessert to go, When I later dugged into the lemon pound cake each morsel was delicious, as if it was home made. Over all an excellent dining experience, a little pricey but was worth every single dime, we will return.“

“Great food and Katina is awesome! Thank you for a nice relaxing anniversary meal“

“My friend and I arrived for brunch earlier today, and our experience was outstanding! We both enjoyed our meals tremendously. The serving size was such that we both had enough left over for the next day. Our servers, Jamari and Jamaal were top notch. They provided us with a balance of dedicated service without being overbearing. I definitely plan a return visit. Hopefully, I'll get the same servers, although from what I observed, all of the servers were excellent!“

“Food was great I highly recommend going for sushi“

“Ernie's Crabs offers a classic Maryland seafood experience centered around fresh, steamed blue crabs, creating a unique and interactive family meal. The entertainment lies in the communal act of cracking and savoring the crabs in a relaxed atmosphere. Costs depend on market prices, making it a special occasion treat. Weekday evenings during crab season often provide a less crowded experience for indulging in this beloved local delicacy.

It's an experience best enjoyed at a relaxed pace, allowing for plenty of storytelling and laughter between cracking sessions. The fun truly lasts as long as the crabs do!

The cost of indulging in Ernie's Crabs depends on the market price of crabs, which can fluctuate seasonally. Ordering by the dozen or half-bushel is common, and the price will vary accordingly. While it might not be an everyday meal, it's a worthwhile splurge for a taste of Maryland tradition and a unique family outing. The value lies not just in the food itself, but in the experience – the freshness, the atmosphere, and the shared enjoyment.

The best times to visit Ernie's Crabs often depend on your preference for atmosphere and crowd levels. Weekday evenings can be a good option to avoid the weekend rush. Crab season typically runs from spring through late fall, with the peak season often offering the best availability and prices. Calling ahead to check on crab availability and current pricing is always a wise move, especially during busier times. Ultimately, any time you can gather with loved ones to enjoy fresh Maryland crabs from Ernie's is a good time!“

“Best seafood! I love their crab cakes .“

“The Blue Dolphin never disappoints! Fantastic service and great food. Hold your next corporate event at the Blue Dolphin - they do an amazing job!“

“Brandon is very nice and the food was very good??“

“Great customer service! I sent a FB message last night asking about getting crabs for today. They responded this morning apologizing that they did not have crabs because the season was winding down. A short time later they sent me a second message that they would be getting a couple bushels later in the afternoon and asked if I would still like to place an order. I really appreciated their reaching back out, it made my Dad’s Birthday.“

“The food is absolutely amazing….pricey but worth it! Better than Little Italy quality.“

“Born and raised in Louisiana. Just wanted to come here and say I’m way happy to learn yall sell BOILED crawfish! So yummy!“

“it was the highlight of my day to come to Carrabba's with my wife. We were nearby and always come to Carrabba's for our favorite dish. Fettuccine Carrabba! It's the best and the people that work here in Pasadena are the sweetest most accommodating out of all of them. I love the atmosphere, the cleanliness, the service and the food. The manager "Ben" is fantastic too!“

“very clean old school look and feel, heather was an excellent server and the food was delicious“

“Thanks for saving me today, I searched all over and found Crabs with you today and they were Delish' best I've had“

“We came to Annapolis specifically to have steamed blue crab, but on day one of three, after navigating the 495 Beltway, we were tired and hangry.

We chilled with a glass of Pinot Grigio served by Carlos at the bar.

Then we reluctantly opted to eat at our Doubletree hotel, Ports of Call. Wow were we glad we decided to stay in.

Our veggie crab soup was so tasty, and where restaurants usually over-salt, this one was perfect.

Then there were the crab cakes with a tad of our no-no Canola mayo, we succumbed because it was mostly amazing lump crabmeat. It’s our rule and ours to break!

My lump crabmeat appetizer was layered with avocado and mango with wasabi drizzle and was outstanding. I want it every day! I’m not kidding.

Even my small garden salad with balsamic and olive oil on the side was fresh and garden good.

Our server Craig listened, reported answers to all of our oil questions, and even brought me warmed rolls since I wouldn’t go so far as eating crackers which were likely laced with “vegetable” oil. It IS our rule, and we can’t break it for crackers.

Our second night Rodger cheerfully served us, even introducing Chef Jeff, who assured me no veggie oils and all butter. His rockfish Imperial featured tender fish topped with crabmeat and his amazing all-butter remoulade with sides of creamy garlic mash and asparagus. So good I can’t see why there isn’t a wait line to enjoy this very caring gifted chef’s culinary delights.

The disco and pop rock offered enhanced ambiance and we were even tempted to do Al fresco patio seating but stayed comfy in our booth

Dinner 3, why not, it’s that good, was the creamy crab soup (a bit salty), and the oysters Rockefeller, which I last had at Bookbinders in Philadelphia. Chef Jeff did it again and surpassed my expectations, making these less salty than some—maybe still a tad too salty, but cut by a generous wedge of lemon. And speaking of generous, FIVE oysters filled to the top with spinach and buttered breadcrumbs.

Rodger again was superb serving with attentiveness.

My two breakfasts were for Doubletree’s delicious yogurt parfaits—day one with sweet Kim and day two with Julie, who went over the top to serve and make sure everything was perfectly to my liking.

I’m pretty sure we’ll be dining here again whenever we’re in Annapolis.“

“No frills Amazing seafood takeout place! The fresh seafood counter looked great but we were there for the HUGE jumbo crab cakes. My son and I shared the platter which included 2 jumbo crab cakes and a side and roll for $38 and it was worth every penny. We tried one fried and one broiled. Both were great but the broiled was our favorite. So meaty and lots of flavor. We were visiting from out of state and brought it back to our hotel. Highly recommend when you're in the area!“

“Drove almost 2 hours to try this place out after seeing a reel on Facebook about the crab cheesesteak and no disappointments there! Absolutely delicious!“

“This is my 4th time here and I enjoy everytime I come.. Nothing negative to say“

“Overall wonderful wonderful experience!!!! From the time we walked it until the time we left e felt nothing but absolute love. The food was amazing so fresh, the place was very clean, goodness this is now my favorite seafood restaurant!!!! The you so much we have recommended you to our love ones as well so you will be having more come to support!!!!! Thank you for the amazing service and food!!!!!“

“Came here randomly after getting some injections in my back and this place was such a VIBE on a Thursday at 1:30pm. Tiffany was the bartender/server and she was so nice. Made great recommendations and food came out fast. Even the other customers were really nice lol looks like a great place to have a big crab feast for large parties. The crab dip was freaking insane. Very generous GARNISHING it with crab meat and a hot loaf of seasoned bread. The quintessential Maryland crab set up. I added a picture of my mom trying the recommended rum punch for the first time. They also have Smith Island chocolate cake which is not easy to find in Baltimore! Prices were great. We will definitely be back.“

“Great food and the service was amazing. They have an interesting mix between Venezuelan and Spanish tapas. I recomend the cheese arepa, pastelitos andinos , and the tostones they are full of flavor. If your looking for authentic and unique dishes this is the place!“

“Crabs, FriedFish sandwich“

“Great customer service, quick service good food“

“we had the best mussels in a savory wine sauce for lunch 😋“

“Food was good but they cheap with sauce. You bought 1 order of 1/2chicken w/2sides you get the same amount of sauce for 4 orders of 1/2 chicken. This is in Bowie Md location. I guess I am not coming back there again.“

“Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, delicious food! We loved our brunch! It's our new favorite spot!“

“I love this place ♥️🔥 The food was really good & the cheddar cheese biscuits are amazing ‼️ The speed of service was incredible being as though they were super busy tonight ‼️I was really impressed 👍🏾“

“Best Seafood around! Awesome Customer Service!“

“We went for the crabcakes on a recommendation we heard from someone. There definitely was plenty of crabmeat in them but in our opinion they lacked a bit of flavor. The cream crab soup was great. The staff was very helpful and friendly. It’s a very casual family oriented restaurant.“

“I recommend this place. They have great food and wonderful customer service!“

“There is always someone cleaning the tables and the environment is SO clean and comfortable. Especially the service too, they are so nice and patient with customers. AND the FOOD, it is so DELICIOUS, the portion is really good, they also give out extra sauces without charging extra 😋😋“

“Very spacious, clean, and the booths are comfortable, finally some seats for short people. You don’t feel sunken. Food was good, waitress was on point and first time serving! She did great!“

“Food is delicious 🤤 it’s so good“

“Been ordering here for over 15 years. However, lately I've realized the food isn't seasoned the way it used to be. Now I have to add soy sauce to my food because its lacking flavor. Never had that issue in the past. Even the egg rolls are bland 🫤“

“This was the Shrimp and crab cake benedict over cheesy grits. The shrimp were plump, the crab cakes were packed with crab meat. Everything about this dish was 😘🤌🏾. Also, they serve fresh squeezed OJ which I appreciate.

This place gets busy. Although my party didn't have to wait to be seated around 11 am, as we were leaving around Noon, we noticed quite a few people waiting to be seated.“

“Wonderful experience and delicious food!“

“Delicious tacos and friendly service.“

“Excellent hospitality and food!!“

“Best Jamaican food spot in Maryland. I have had everything on the menu at least once and the food is authentic. Seasoning on point. Jerk pork…jah jah!! Mouth-watering…I felt like I was eating jerk on the roadside on Spur Tree! The price is high…but worth every single penny!“

“I’ll be honest, I was both excited and skeptical about trying Wonder when it first opened. The whole concept seemed a little strange to me, and I wasn’t sure how it would actually work. Since they were offering 50% off for first time customers when I went, I figured it was worth a try.

We ordered a pizza from Alanza, a double cheeseburger from Burger Baby, and a Build Your Own Bowl from El Diez. Funny enough, the burger, which was the item I was least excited about based on how it looked, ended up being my favorite. It was honestly one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. The pizza was a little overdone, but I actually like my pizza that way, so no complaints there. The bowl was good too, though I felt like it was missing a little something. Maybe some extra lime or cilantro would have given it more of that fresh Mexican flavor.

I’d definitely come back and try some of the other restaurants they have. I also really liked the atmosphere. It was quiet, clean, and didn’t feel chaotic, which was nice. The kitchen area looked especially clean, which always leaves a good impression.

If you’ve been curious about Wonder and are looking to try something different, I’d say it’s worth checking out, especially while they’re offering 50% off for new customers. There’s a huge variety of food options, so it’s easy for everyone in your group to find something they’ll enjoy. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and left more impressed than I expected to be.“

“Heard about this spot on TikTok yesterday and my wife and I happen to be in the area today so we stopped by… So glad we did.

We had a 10 out of 10 experience.

The young lady on the register gave us great customer service. She was friendly and welcoming, and super helpful.

The owner was in the building. He was greeting customers coming out to the front checking on us great hospitality.

But the food… 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

They were busy and we still got our food with within 15 minutes. Everything was hot and fresh, but even more than that it was all delicious.

We live about 40 minutes away and we plan to be back regularly.

“Sadly I went to try out this establishment today and was welcome with flies flying around all the food. Not a good experience when you first walk into the door. Unfortunately because of all the flies that was flying and landing on the food that you service people turned me completely off. Maybe I will try this place again and hopefully next time they won't have flies flying around all the food“

“Great seafood, quality customer service.“

“The Coconut shrimp was a bit burned I think but I am not expert and the cream of crab soup was great, tasty and had crab meat in it. Some places I think they just reheat somthing from a can. This was like home made.
The place was packed and they had a band that was loud in the bar area so we sat at the end of the dining room so we could talk lol“

“The staff hands down THE best. Customer service is impeccable. Andrew is my FAV person. He goes above and beyond. I introduced myself to this place last year and I’ve been here literally almost every single day since. I highly recommend the Annapolis location.
