My mother got us 2 dozen extra large for my birthday. Man, they were great! Promised Maryland crabs, and if you can’t tell the difference you don’t know! Mind you she was at the door when they opened so I can’t speak to the volume of preferred crab. These crabs were heavy, full of spice and love, and I picked and picked, I’ll have meat for crab cakes galore!!!
Thanks for making my birthday special, you made my sons on the 5th of...

It is loud and can be crowded. Not fancy, concrete floors and mismatched tables. Service is decent, but it can be hard to flag someone down. Also, I feel like at a crab house napkins should be at the tables, and not have to be requested. Food is decent, comes out quickly.

Atmosphere... its a crab house, pleasant nautical theme 9/10. Service was good 9/10. Jumbo steamed shrimp 10/10. Crab dip 9/10. Steamed crabs 7/10... good but DID NOT seem to be steamed to order. There's several tells to re-steaming! Definately were re-steamed to warm up. Extra large crabs At $10/crab with the wait, they should be steamed to order.
