“Best crab house around!!!“

“What a beautiful day to have a birthday. And a special shout out to John and Cora at DOCK of the BAY for making this a delightful and memorable birthday. The food was delicious and the service was flawless. The view and the weather were perfect as well. Looking forward to our next meal with you all. And the special chocolate chip cookie with ice cream for dessert was the perfect ending. Thank you all.“

“Food is excellent and so is the server Rubi! Will eat here again“

“Food & service is superb. A great dining experience“

“This was by far the BEST seafood in the area. Food was delicious, service was superb, staff very friendly. Shuttle service right on point! Overall experience 10/10 in all areas. I definitely will be back and telling everyone looking for great seafood and experience! Thank you!“

“Hello! My husband and I visited the Baltimore inner harbor location and our waiter Ruslan was top tier! His services was A1, it’s a most you visit!! TheWiseWay“

“This was my first time there. Crabs were spot on, in size and price. Service was amazing. Easy parking. Great views. I'll be back.“

“We come to eat at the Rosedale location maybe once a month. Even on long waits when we are extra hungry, we always request Draven because he is a rockstar! Our drinks are never empty and requests such as extra napkins, gloves, bibs etc are always met expeditiously. We never have to wait long for food and it is always fresh and hot. Our family are creatures of habit and we typically get the same thing every time. Let’s start with the clam chowder. A generous bowl with a heaping portion of clam. We especially enjoy the crackers on the side for our picky toddler to nibble on. For dinner I always get the Cajun boil with the hook n reel blend *spicy* with sausage and hard boiled eggs as an add on. I like to get a 20 oz. draft ipa. It pairs very well with the spiciness of the boil. Our toddler usually ends up with tenders and sweet potato waffle fries. Recently she has started to eat broccoli (hallelujah!) so we get that on the side as well. For a family of 3, we spend around $130. If you request Draven, please expect to be amazed by the service and expect to tip at LEAST 20% for impeccable service. For those bad at math, 20% of $130 is $26, which I like to bump up to $30. Sorry this was so long! If you got this far, enjoy your dinner at Hook n Reel in Rosedale. We always do!“

“Absolutely delicious seafood. The restaurant is decorated in a fun, original way, and the service is very good. We all got different build-a-catch options and were not disappointed. The food is boiled in a bag with the sauce of your choice and it is truly great. The portions are big and worth the price. Would definitely come back!“

“Definitely a 10/10 spot went there around 7:30 for dinner !! Food was awesome and in good prices I got a crab cake for 18$ with a 2 dollar add on for fries and coleslaw. Recommend getting there early just because wait times are crazy. Service was awesome I was there 5/21 and sitting on the first floor outside the server was amazing but sadly I can’t remember the young girls name she was tall and skinny. I’m definitely coming back!!!“

“Rusty Scupper was amazing. The goold was delicious but what really set them apart was how they went the extra mile for my parents anniversary dinner. I got my parents a gift card and made reservations, in the reservation saying it wasy parents anniversary celebration, could they give them a quiet table. They did that and so very much more. My mom can't stop talking about how incredible they were, how special she felt, how incredible the food was and how she had 3 wait staff, one in training but she had never felt so special in her life. Her excitement and joy makes me smile and I want everyone to know that Rusty Scupper could have set them in a nice table and said Happy Anniversary, that would have been great service but what they did was make an unforgettable memory for my parents. Going above and beyond, thank you Rusty Scupper staff, thank you so very much. You gave my parents an experience that is above and beyond "like something out of a movie" mom keeps saying!!!!“

“The best food in the area❤️“

“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“

“Always good always hot always fresh i also love how neatly the crabs r placed in the bag an season is on time!!!!! Dave is always kind prices always great wish i could give 1000 stars keep up the great work Dave I appreciate u“

“Got two dozen medium males yesterday, August 5, 2023. Meaty, delicious and sweet. Staff were very friendly. New favorite place for my family!“

“We took a road trip just to get some seafood, and Jimmy’s was well worth the drive! From the moment we sat down, the experience was top-notch. Our server, Sean, was elite — super attentive, friendly, and made some great recommendations. Definitely ask for him if you can!

We went all out with a plethora of appetizers, and everything was delicious. I ordered the Maryland sushi — chef’s kiss! So fresh and flavorful, it absolutely earned a spot on my Top 10 list of restaurants.“

“Great place to come eat and enjoy family and friends. They also have live music, fantastic.“

“Food was delicious!!!! Delivered nice and hot. It was almost too pretty to eat. I can’t wait to order again!!“

“absolutely the best dinner i’ve had in a longgggg time. we split the steak and crab cake and we were so completely satisfied!!! will come back soon and often!!“

“You know a restaurant is top notch when you’re willing to miss a flight just to dine there. That’s how I feel about Costas Inn. I had my first taste of their amazing, heavy, and very sweet crabs a few years ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Now, I gladly make the two-hour drive just to order six crabs — though I never make it past three! But what truly sets this place apart is the family atmosphere. Every visit feels like coming home. You’re always welcomed with a warm smile, and with every bite, you’re reminded why you came back. Tonight was extra special. Not only did I get to meet the owner’s daughter, who embodies the heartwarming smile and customer service this place is known for, but I was also lucky to be served by Dominic, our waiter. With the cutest smile and an attentive, friendly attitude, he made sure our experience was perfect from start to finish. If you ever get the chance to visit, don’t hesitate — grab a seat and start cracking!“

“Outdoor seating was a perfect ambiance. The crab soup was excellent with sweet crabmeat on top. Seafood boil was excellent. Crab cakes were delicious. First crab cake I’ve had that was actually crab meat and not bread crumbs.“

“the food was excellent!! couldn't have asked for better. our waiter's name was John and was the absolute best!!“

“Hubby and I ordered for the first time and picked it up. The salmon and shrimp dishes are seasoned so well yet simple and cooked perfectly! While calling to order the young man I spoke with was very patient and helpful while I asked questions to ensure eating the food was safe for my dietary restrictions.“

“Got a 1/2 bushel for a friend's birthday and they were absolutely fantastic crabs! They were heavy, full of meat, and a lot of flavor. I'll definitely be using this establishment when I get a taste for crabs moving forward. To top it off, the price was quite reasonable! Thank you.“

“The food was excellent and the atmosphere was excellent and waiters was excellent thank you for good prepared food“

“I was sooo excited to try this place after my boyfriend kept talking about it. We went on a Saturday evening and had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. We were seated upstairs. Our waitress Mellisa was AMAZING!!!!! She offered her suggestions on what to order. She also made theeeee BEST Long Island Iced Teas!!! She mentioned she has been with the company/restaurant and I can tell why! She is a GEM! I ordered the lump crab cake that came with shrimp and asparagus. I ordered rosemary potatoes as an additional side. He ordered the Lump crab imperial (came in a small black skillet) and had a sauce in it. Food was very tasteful!!! I even had some leftover to take home. Believe the hype! This IS SEAFOOD at its finest!!“

“We ordered a bushel of crabs and never have I ever seen a presentation like this!!!! We did take out and didn’t see it until we got home but we were pleasantly surprised! The customer service was amazing and all the food we purchased was great!“

“Great crabs great customer service“

“Simply put…W O W! The history alone drew me to stop in. The food will keep me coming back! If you haven’t, why? Incredible crabs and a clean, relaxed atmosphere and staff! See y’all again SOON!“

“10/10! We had our annual work crab get together today, we were so impressed! Service was excellent, crabs were heavy and SO tasty, and the food was excellent. After 2 years of not great experiences at other crab restaurants we have definitely found our new spot! Thank you for being so accommodating to our group!“

“We had our daughters bridal shower their on Saturday March 4th. It was for 50 people. The food and the service was excellent. They went above, what we expected. The chef came out spoke to us and assisted in any way they could. The service was wonderful. If you are looking for a venu to host a party, "Hull Street Blues " is it. Wonderful, wonderful, service and great people !“

“Never had a bad experience here! The crabs and service are always on point!“

“I had Sibs Food Boutique cater an event and the food was amazing! All of my guests enjoyed the food and commented on how good the shrimp and grits were. All of the food was seasoned to perfection and I highly recommend them for your next catered event. I can’t wait to go for brunch in the near future.“

“I ordered 2 dozen XL crabs today, and when I went to pick them up, there was only 1dozen crabs on my order. After speaking with the young lady who took my order, she remembered taking the order, but inadvertently put in the wrong amount.
She immediately told me to go home with the aforementioned 1dozen, and that she would deliver the second dozen to my home personally.
You do not get this type of service anywhere else.
The crabs were delicious, heavy, and packed. I’m sorry I didn’t get her name, but just assumed she was the manager.
I’ve been getting my crabs here for years. It is the only place I go for carry out, and will continue to do so.
Thank you again for your exceptional service, and the best, most consistent product anywhere.

“Never been disappointed with Anne Arundel Seafood. Most recently went with friends on a double date & everyone was very nice, especially the kind lady who took our order (in the area where you order crab cakes & desserts). She was very patient taking our large order. Food has always been very good. This past time there was more shells than normal in the crab dip & crab cakes, but taste wise, as always, very good 👍🏼 Would definitely recommend & we will definitely go back, again & again.“

“We had our wedding here. Island View Waterfront Cafe was everything we envisioned for our wedding!! It had that backyard wedding feel with GORGEOUS waterfront views! Jess was absolutely amazing to work with and her love for weddings and desire for you to have your dream day is evident after working with her. She is a great communicator and was a huge help during the different planning stages of our wedding. During our rehearsal and on the day of I came to her with all the questions and she had already had the answers and plans for those worked out and she is a HUGE reason why our day went so smoothly! We love and Cherish being an Island View Couple!! Some cool perks: flexibility to pick our own vendors; chairs and tables were included in the rental; we rented out the the evening before for our rehearsal and hosted an informal pizza party as we were setting up and organizing all the decor which made everything so much easier; you get to work with Jess and I can't say enough good things about her!!“

“I have been going here since I was a kid. Their steamed shrimp and crabs are both amazing. Every time I come.back east I make sure I go here for dinner one night during the trip as the seafood we have out in Colorado does not hold a candle to what they have in Maryland but especially here. My grandmother who passed 2.5 years ago would always say how much she missed going here and it is a shame she never had a chance to come back here after she moved with us to Colorado.“

“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!“

“Something Magical about this place! Crabs are very heavy and reasonably priced. My "fav"is Snow Crab Legs and that golden steamed corn on cobb. Staff members, always smiling, very knowledgeable about their product; each one seems very happy to have his/her job, so courteous. BLAKE'S is the Best in Baltimore!“

“Without reservations we arrived at Rumor Reel with a party of 19 on a Sunday at 3pm. The manager and hostess sat us right away and were very accommodating. We were most impressed with our waitress Lindsay! She greeted us with the most pleasant attitude. She was so attentive and on top of everything we could possibly need. It was a birthday celebration that she made sure went super smooth. Thank you for making our day so special.“

“Best crabs in MD; especially if you are on a budget. I drive from Woodlawn for these crabs because they are delicious.“

“Every time we come our waitress Sue gives us the ultimate dining experience. She has been the best waitress I’ve ever had anywhere. The food is always exceptional, and by far the most delicious seafood around here. Always a perfect 5 star ⭐️“

“Some times there can be so much salt but if you let them know they will not put as much I've been coming here for a years and the experience is always top-notch. The staff is consistently friendly, helpful, and professional—they really make you feel welcome every time. On top of that, the prices are hard to beat, especially for the quality of crabs you get. Fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned! If you're looking for a go-to spot for great crabs and great service, this is definitely it.“

“Food was awesome!! Better than expected!!“

“This was my second visit, and it was just as enjoyable as the first. Everything was fantastic. From the moment I booked, I was greeted by friendly staff. I ate outdoors, and the attentive wait staff made sure I had everything I needed. The food was amazing, especially the salmon and brussels sprouts. My palate was well-pleased. The vibe here is really great, and I'll definitely be back.“

“One of the best dining experiences you can have. Every bite was absolutely perfect. We literally tried just about everything on the menu. To say we were impressed is an understatement. I literally can't wait to come back! Chef Austin personally came out to check on us. He's just insanely talented. Thank you!“

“Crabs, crabs, crabs. Im shocked to find out so many people don't realize Chris' sells crabs. My family have been going here for years and we've never had a bad dozen from Chris'. Nice sizes, healthy crabs, steamed perfecr, and we seasoned.

Call a day or two ahead to really get the sizes you want.“

“You can't beat a dozen of large male crabs for $90. The crabs are always good, fresh, and hot. The corn is locally grown and sweet, which is great! The wings are decent, and i love the hush puppies. I wish they'd put a few heaters outside so people could sit out there. I'm not sure if they do that as I've never been when it's cold. It's just small and tight in there. Opening that patio would help even in the winter. Would recommend! And they are BYOB! Beers and Wine. Not too sure about hard alcohol.“

“Food has always been delicious however… …the last beef bao sandwich was disappointing because I had to search for the meat through the vegetation. Flavors are always on point but when the protein is missing…. This is always my concern when an establishment grows too large, the quality starts to wane. Regards Sent from my iPhone“

“Today is the second time I have gotten Steamed Crabs from them, and just like the first time, this time the Crabs 🦀 were excellent. This is now going to be my go to place for Crabs.“
