“First time visiting this establishment and I was pleasantly impressed. We went on a Friday evening and had about a 30min wait but it was worth it. The decor has these cute cartoon pictures all around. It is pretty small restaurant but they manage to give just enough room between tables to be comfortable while dining. The service was great and our waitress was very friendly. The cream of crab soup is wonderful! It was creamy, thick and flavorful and plenty of crab meat. Highly recommend trying this. The. Crab fries were a little disappointing because we thought it would be more of a crab sauce mixture or dip mixture on the fries. Instead it was like just a yellow cheese and no seasoning really. But it was plenty of fries and crab meat. Not sure we would get that again. The Chesapeake chicken sandwich was ok as well. The chicken was pretty good but again the crab dip was more of like just cheese sauce. My daughter didn’t care for it but my husband did eat his but wasn’t impressed. My other teen got tenders and fries and said they were really good. I got the medium crab cake meal. My crab cake was excellent and nothing but meat. I really enjoyed it. The kale and baked potato was good as well.Overall good food and service. I will definitely try them again.“

“I have to say, I was very skeptical when i walked in. It looks like a cafeteria. I got that catfish poboy and my husband got the brisket dinner. We were honestly blown away by that taste. We eat a lot of places and the smoke brisket was so delicious. The fish was delicately breaded and crispy and flavor was so good. I was definitely proven wrong in my assumptions.“

“Our server Alex was friendly and knowledgeable, the food was absolutely delicious. We started when the crab arancini and the charcuterie board, the arancini with the saffron sauce is just amazing. Main courses we had a salad with diver scallops and the squid I'm pasta, both were incredible. Dessert was the zeppole and the dessert wine, all around one of the best meals we've had in a while“

“Love their fried fish sandwich. Food was hot when it came out to the table. There is no changing table in the restroom for those that may need one. The server was so friendly & very thorough with our order as well. I will definitely come back to eat here in the future!“

“Once again, I continue to be impressed with the quality of the food and service. Whenever family or friends come to visit, we always take them here to eat. There is always a steady flow of people, but I have never not been able to get a table (limited seating). Even in the Maryland crab "offseason" everything is fresh and delicious. My family recently placed a large takeout order on Christmas Eve for brunch, and they had everything ready in record speed and all the food was hot and delicious. They even have a loyalty program to earn rewards as you visit. We have recently been going to breakfast on the weekends and the sweet potato pancakes are to die for. My husband gets the grabs Benedict and loves it as well. Haven't had a bad meal here!“

“Tell you what, you don’t find many hard working youths like that good ole boy Hayden. That lil man tore it up when it comes to service. Refused a tip so hard I had to throw it at him. Can’t ask for much more. Food was decent though can’t complain.“

“The hibachi chef was very kind. He noticed that our youngest was a little skittish about the fire at the beginning. Kept the kids engaged the whole time and they even tried several different kinds of food and enjoyed most of it. A very great experience for us and we'll definitely be back.“

“There was a time long ago when I ate here more than once a week. Back then it was the bad ass wings and the Thai mussels that kept me coming back again and again like an addict. More than 20 years later they're still on the menu and still taste exactly the same - amazing. I don't make it in as often, and sometimes it's just for carry out, but I always look forward to the food.“

“Came here while visiting family over the Thanksgiving holiday and I was in search of crab legs. The place is in a busy strip mall and the decor is dark and outdated, but the bar area seemed to be filled with regulars having a good time and it was a large place with ample seating. We were seated quickly and the service was great. To start off, We had a mixed drink that was very tasty (the sneaky dragon) and the fried rockfish bites which we enjoyed. The seafood platter was delicious! Hot and fresh. The crab ball was so good, loved the shrimp, too. But the Old Bay fries were amazinggggg I could have eaten a million of them. The only thing on the platter that we didn't like as much was the fried scallop. The breading fell off because it was wet and it was very chewy/rubbery. The snow crab was amazing and I finally got my steamed crab leg fix on this trip!“

“I had the soft shell crab sandwich with a 3oz crab cake added. The crab cake was all crab with little breading. The soft shell crab sandwich did not need the bun because the crab was filling enough. However, I ate the bun because it looked so soft and it was. My drink from the bar was a 16 Oz rum and coke. Heavy on the rum but good. All was worth the prices and the drive from DC.“

“It appears I spent more time at Mel's than with family last weekend. Saturday at Mel's 2 dozens of beautiful blue crabs. Prices are comparable, and sizes were nice.Sunday back at Mel's again, this time soft shell crabs. Omg! Let me tell you, nice size price was doable. When I cooked these crabs, full of mustard, the crabs were perfect. Hat of to Mel and the cook. That would be me.“
