The absolute best place to eat crabs in the area! This place is the true definition of a crab house. The rest of the menu is excellent too, especially the large shrimp basket.

Popped into Captain Leonard's last weekend. We were kindly greeted and seated right away. Our order was taken very fast with no wait time. My daughter and I opted for snow crab legs and the hush puppy, mozzarella sticks, fried green beans appetizer. The food was nice and hot and delicious. Our waitress was amazing and everyone there was so accommodating and friendly. They're closing down for the winter but will reopen on April 3rd 2024. I cannot wait for them to reopen. This is my go to destination for the best crab in town!

I love their food. The fried oysters are perfect. I love getting the captains scatter. The shrimp are super fresh. The crab dip bowl is really good. Even the clam strips are good and not rubbery. Everything is fresh. Crabs are excellent.

My order was stuffed shrimp with crab meat, mostly bread. Stuffed shrimp with crab meat needs to be baked for a better taste.

Absolutely THE BEST meal!! Late lunch/early dinner kinda deal on a Wednesday. Steamed crabs still available here at almost the end of November! Yay!! AND they were DELICIOUS!! Almost like Sept crabs - fat and unbelievably sweet meat! Fried oysters and large steamed shrimp did not disappoint either!! Thank you Capt Leonard's for a GREAT meal!! ENJOY the Holidays, your time off during the off season and we will be back when you re& open in the spring of 2024!

The crab dip on the crab pretzel was WELL above average. I've never had such a bad pretzel - it was thick and nearly rubber. Really ruined it, what a shame.The oysters in the oyster dinner were fried, although not specified on the menu. Disappointing - really wanted them in the shell. Despite that, there were a lot of them and they were fried very well.The fries were straight up freezer fries. Disgusting. Why this was the case when they clearly have such a great fryer I have no idea. The cajun seasoning that was extra charge tasted like it was based off of Old Bay and lemon zest. Too much lemon zest. Weird cajun seasoning, weird extra charge, I've made better at home.The side salad was great! Large for a side and nicely done.Overall, this place leaves me confused. After the rubber pretzel, freezer fries, and fried oysters, I feel like a fried oyster. In no way worth $50.They have some remarkable things like the crab dishes and fried seafood, but when you add anything else it gets complicated fast.Good service. Good atmosphere. A little disappointed they furnished no crayons to draw on the table with.
This place is the real deal. The fried oysters and crab cakes were terrifically tasty - almost perfect - a baked potato would've boosted it up to totally perfect. Our server was amazing- .ade us feel welcomed and at home. Traveled all the way from Nashville to have Maryland seafood and Capitain Leonard's did not disappoint!!! Would go back in a heart beat - boy did the crabs look yummy.

We happened upon this amazing seafood gem after visiting my sister in law in the hospital. Let’s just say we will be back! The atmosphere has definite southern Maryland charm, very clean and the service is excellent! All of us had different appetizers and entrees, and we were each exclaiming how delicious everything tasted. I enjoyed cream of crab soup, fresh local oysters on the half shell, delicious fried catfish with cajun seasoning, and a perfectly backed potato with butter and sour cream. Our server, Nicky, was beautiful inside and out, shared the restaurant’s history with us, answered a myriad of questions, was super polite, professional and personable. My husband and his sister, who are our family’s expert fried oyster chefs, remarked over and over about the quality and perfection of the fried oysters. My brother in law loved his crab stuffed shrimp, and our niece visiting from California, satisfied her seafood craving with perfectly grilled crab cakes. We enjoyed onion rings, coleslaw, sweet potato wedges and green beans, and all were well seasoned and cooked to perfection. There is so much more on the menu including hard and soft shell crabs, mussels, snow crab legs, grouper, flounder, and no. Seafood items and dessert. Thank you Captain Leonard’s for a delightfully tasty and memorable experience! We highly recommend!

We are not from the area. My wife, daughter, and I were in town for a wedding. Looking at Menus and reviews, we came across this place because my daughter wanted crab legs. Everything about this place is excellent. Food, service, price... Everything. Highly recommend.

Amazing food and the crabs are always fat and cooked perfectly. The place is bit low on atmosphere and there is no real bar to speak of. There are a few bar stools but you cannot eat there. Also seating is very tight. Still if you want great crabs then do not delay this place for a perfect.
