The steamed crabs were excellent! They were hot, heavy, and just the right amount of old bay. I recommend staying away from the crab cakes.

Been coming here for years and the crabs are always fantastic. Not super busy but deserves way more business. Everyone who works there is so nice and attentive. Love it here. Might be pricey but that’s just how crabs are in general. 100% deserves your business

Amazingly delicious crabs, perfectly seasoned and tasted fresh. Service was also great, order came out fast and hot! We’ll be returning!

We tried various foods and all were below par. The oysters were old tasting and not from the Chesapeake Bay. The large male crabs were barely 6 inches long and were neither fresh nor sweet tasting. The coleslaw at $6.00 needs a major overhaul. The waitress knew very little about crabs stating that large female crabs are the same size as medium males. There is a mandatory 18% tip for zero service but you only learn about it when you get the bill.

Soft shell crab good. Deep fried giant prawns great. Crab cakes disappointing. Over $100 way overpriced. Would not return.

Love the crabs here! Got two dozen large and crabs were meaty. I usually ask for less old bay when I go so it isn't too salty. My go to crab spot when staying local.

I ate here for the first time while visiting the area, food taste great and nice full size crabs, dining atmosphere is cool and employees was friendly except the older lady. 1 star missing only because for the price of all you can eat crabs, you should be given the dipping sauce along with it & free refill on tea/lemonade (But that could be a down south thing) I would recommend!

Is this the place that charged more because it was Juneteenth? Asking because it’s going around on Social Media. I hope this isn’t the establishment. I won’t be visiting and encouraging others not to visit either. Will spend my dollars elsewhere.

My son and I went for the all-you-can eat crabs. Not cheap at $80 per person yet I wanted to treat us as we had both overcome some challenges. Crabs were meaty and tasty. However, there is a 2-hour limit which is stated on the website. My belief was that began when we started eating. The waitress was going to get another round then said we have overstayed the time. $80 for 12 crabs! She said, you came in at 4:00 and started eating at 4:15. That was a LIE! I took at call at 4:16 and even commented to my son, "They must have had to catch the crabs," as it was taking so long to be served. The cooking time was counted into our 2 hours! The waitress said, "We have it on camera when you sat down and were served!" Then why not show the video to us??? We were required to pay $30 gratuity. Although auto added, I was not aware it was mandatory. $200 for a total of 24 crabs is ridiculous. I stated that I would NOT return. Few patrons during our time there so others must also agree.
