8 Best Seafood Restaurants near Toughkenamon

“I wrote a review of Hilltop Crab House a few years ago, and after another visit, I can confidently say nothing has changed—they are still the gold standard for steamed crabs in the area.

I grew up on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, where good crabs are serious business. I’ve picked crabs my entire life, and one thing separates truly fresh, properly cooked crabs from average ones: how the meat comes out of the shell.

The crabs at Hilltop were fresh, hot, and cooked perfectly. You can tell immediately when cracking open the claws. Using my usual method, the meat slid right out cleanly and intact. It didn’t stick to the shell or come out in shredded pieces like you often see at other crab houses. That’s a sign of fresh crabs that have been handled and cooked the right way.

The seasoning was excellent, the crabs were heavy, and every one was packed with sweet, flavorful meat. They came out steaming hot, exactly the way they should.

In fact, they were so good that by the time I thought about taking a picture, the first round had already been completely devoured. I ended up ordering a couple more because I wasn’t ready to stop eating them.

Great food, great service, and consistently high quality. There are plenty of places that serve crabs, but very few that do it this well every single time. If you’re looking for authentic Maryland crabs that are fresh, hot, and worth every penny, Hilltop Crab House remains the only crab house I’ll go to in the area.

Highly recommended. 🦀🦀🦀“

“Cozy lovely space with exceptionally well prepared and presented food ambitious menu had oysters delicious and duck confit homemade gelato. Definitely recommend this gem“

“I went with my group on a Thursday which was a very light evening which allowed my group to enjoy our whole dining experience. Our server had time to explain the menu and make recommendation to our group that included a 4 year old. Why is this relevant? Because, she gave her the same respectful service as she did the adults. Thank you. Now let's get to the food. I had the Chicken Picatta. I had to take the picture because at the first bite I new it was about to be destroyed. I left nothing on the plate. The Impossible Sloppy for those who need a vegan option also got a thumbs up. The food comes out hot hot! No one complained! I will be back the next time I am in Delaware.“

“Endless Shrimps was delicious. My grandson loved it. The waiter was extremely nice“

“Easter Buffet was extra special with a variety of entrees. The menu included a wide variety of seafood, ham, roast beef along with vegetables, rolls, and some great desserts. We will be visiting the restaurant again for my husband's birthday. He loved the food so much he selected it for a family celebration. Take some time to dine at Wesley's Restaurant, you won't be disappointed.“

“I have been there 4 times already I absolutely love this place . I get the cinnamon french toast oh my goodness it is so good. I could not put my fork down . Everything was excellent!!! My new breakfast and lunch spot!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“I feel like the food isn't quite as tasty as it used to be at least for takeout - my old favorites were the beef or shrimp panang and red curries, and the rangoons are still great but I think you get less now. My friends loved the pineapple fried rice and yellow curry (pineapple)! Good portions and reasonable prices otherwise.“

“Tonight was our first night trying Portabello’s. We had an excellent dinner! My wife had the chicken parmigiana and I had the stroganoff. We shared the chocolate decadence cake for dessert. Had an excellent server named Erica. We will be back.“
