I LOVE GOING TO THIS LOCATION. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AWESOME. THEY KNOW THEIR REGULAR CUSTOMERS BY NAME. CRABS ARE ALWAYS MEATY AND GOOD. THEIR PLATTERS ARE GOOD TOO. THEY HAVE NEVER DISAPPOINTED ME. I GOT XL MALES AND THEY WERE HEAVY AND MEATY!

First time here and was not disappointed with my order of fried perfectly butterfly shrimps and the collard greens were nice and warm. It was a take out for me to my liking. I made a last minute change to my order with ease. Greeted warmly by the person behind the counter. They had my food ready with my last minute change. They used a paper bag instead of the plastic ones and that is a plus. Only bcuz you can fold it close and the food is still warm and delicious.

I purchased a half dozen males today. When I got home they were not fresh brown on the inside and then a fishy smell. They weren't that great but because of the distance I just went ahead and ate them. I called to give them notice that at 12:30 p.m. when I picked up my crabs when I got home they were not fresh. They put the owner on the phone. He interrogates me as if I were lying about purchasing them today. He comes back and says oh I confirmed you did make a purchase. What does that have to do with the nasty crabs

The male crabs are so big and meaty! I love this place, my go-to for crabs! It is pricy, but you will enjoy it. Do not order the female crabs, they are small and empty!!

Usually don’t have a problem here, but I was disgusted and surprised with my moldy potato salad.

My friend suggested to go here. No disappointment here. Good food. I ordered the fish with greens and potato salad. Only wish the sides were larger.

I had a pretty good impression overall of checking out this seafood restaurant. It is a family-run business. A quaint 2nd-3rd generation Asian family who has been running this gem ?. Good for them!I went with the crab cake platter which included 2 sides. I picked the coleslaw and french fries. The crab cake was good ??. I loved the crinkle cut fries!The cashier, the daughter of the own I presume, was uber friendly and knowledgeable about things. We talked for a bit. One of the things, I talked with her about was the newly instituted 'Better Bag Bill' in Prince George's County ? (since January 1, 2024.) The new law has enacted that applicable restaurants/businesses are allowed charge a minimum of 10 cents/ paper bag or reusable bag bought by a customer at checkout. I am for the bill ✅, but one of their regular customers (an old school, younger Black lady) was not, so she griped about it whilst she go her to-go order ??.Overall, however, I do have two cons: 1) I wish the crab cake was FRESH and not from frozen ??. I'm all about quality and not convenience - and 2) that coleslaw side was too SMALL as a side. It should equal the size of the french fries I had in my order ??‍♀️. Those are my thoughts.If I'm in the area I'd pop by or tell a friend, it's a cool spot especially good conversation which I appreciated ?. Cheers!
