This place is amazing! We sat in the tent for all you can eat crabs last weekend with the family. It was incredible food, amazing service and a whole ton of fun getting sloppy with the piles of crabs.
Not to mention the yummy sides.
The atmosphere is spot on. Lots of tvs and sports, some music and some hear on the chilly nights.
We are going back tonight for another round.
It is worth every penny!! Highly recommend!

All the food was delicious, tried the crab cake sandwich with fries, crab legs, little neck clams, flavor and seasoning was excellent! Great service and seating in the tent with fall decor.

Always love going to Chesapeake Crab Connection!! So many improvements since the new ownership - the all you can eat tent this fall has been so fun with my family and friends. Best crabs in Lancaster it’s not even close. Never going to Mr Bills or Classy Crab again. Great service and even better crabs !
