Mis DannyAugust 29, 2016The crab cakes, scallops, shrimp, lobster tail & lamb are all fantastic! Charles provided excellent service. Worth the trip from NY!
- Derrian CovingtonMay 5, 2013If you love MD lump crab cakes this is definitely the spot! I would suggest always going with the broiled option and steer away from the fried version, there is a night and day difference!
Ron JeramiahFebruary 9, 2018Friendly service and good bar keep. Crab Cake was tasty and big with 2 sides. Not sure it was the greatest ever but it was tasty and I’d come back 🦀
Cally PerrySeptember 18, 2019I just got a "medium" crab cake from the separate Deli/Pick-up entrance. That crab cake was huge and delicious. I'll be stopping there every time I'm driving from BWI.
Clayton BoslerMay 26, 2022This place is fantastic! Way retro restaurant with terrific service and amazing seafood. I can see why they’ve lasted since 1948!
Maarten AlbardaDecember 30, 2016I don't eat crab cakes as I am allergic to shell fish. Every other fish dish I have had here is so, so. The fries were a little greasy. But my MD born wife and father in law swear by their crab cakes!
Lori PlazinskiJanuary 15, 2016Consistently rated as a best crab cake. I like to order the double, but plan to take the second as a "to go" for lunch the following day.
Barbara StullNovember 17, 2013Excellent service! The server was very polite and was very knowledgable about the menu. Crab cakes were to die for and HUGE. Crab stuffed orange roughy was fabulous!
Bill InglisOctober 1, 2015The golden jumbo fried shrimp sub – is to die for! Get lots of tomatoes fried onions light mayo, and have them toast the shrimp and the cheese on the role before serving – that's the best sandwich.
AmandaAugust 31, 2014Great seafood menu, but you must get the crabcakes. They're the best in the area with HUGE chunks of back fin. Delicious!
Erica FNovember 1, 2011Crab cake sandwich was light and fluffy. Told pleasant attentive waitress that I was on my lunch break and from sitting down to signing receipt- 15m. Great service from Annette.
Helena HallNovember 15, 2013The staff was very friendly and professional. The food was served hot and was excellent. Be prepared to take some with you.
David StricklandAugust 25, 2013Definitely have the crab cakes. I am allergic but I heard they are to die for. Well I know they will be if I ate it.
Lawrence DobranskiApril 17, 2019Seafood Platters are fantastic. They cannot produce separate bills for members in your party.- Maarten AlbardaDecember 2, 2016The interior is nothing to speak of: no windows, and no real nice decor. But the crab cakes are, according to my MD born wife, the bomb!
- Marc AschDecember 26, 2013Wonderful crab cakes. Huge and full off crab. One is a meal. Well worth any drive.
Tim HarrisFebruary 16, 2016I like the calamari and chicken fingers so far will go back to try other items- Dave JohnMarch 30, 2013Try The Crab Ravioli, Its pretty, heard about their crab cakes are really good, will try next time.... overall 3.5
The crab cakes are EXCELLENT!! All meat, no shells or filler
Aaron JordanOctober 14, 2012Great atmosphere for karaoke. Fun crowd, my first time and I'll be back. Miss Gina was the best MC ever!
Chris GutierrezAugust 12, 2015Good seafood. Just make sure you get seafood though. Regular food is no good here.
Joseph MooreDecember 17, 2012Good food, enormous portions, generous pours, inexpensive! The perfect dive.
Sarah WongMay 13, 2014Burgers were way over cooked, when asked for rare, server replied we serve lowest as medium rare, so hesitant said ok. The burger came it medium well/well done. :/ lobster was a little dry
Omega WhiteDecember 24, 2020crabcakes & the gentleman running the carry out area was the highlight. Lobster was overcooked, scallops undercooked, fish had no flavor, didn't bother eating the shrimp. Used to be my fave spot 😞
Simony ResendeApril 29, 2013The crab cakes are amazing. As for the rest of the food it's not suspect. P2013
- Moose EJuly 31, 2010Crabcakes come from G&M. Nothing is suspect here at all. Try the broiled scallops with clarified butter or a soft-shell crab sandwich. Nummers!!
- Mark JamisonJanuary 12, 2012Some of the best lump crab cakes around. Cocktail, tartar, lemon...delicious
Stuffed shrimp for the win. 3 jumbo shrimp stuffed with 8oz of crab cake in EACH one. Ask for Lisa S!
Sara ParkerJune 17, 2013Crab cake is good, shrimp was okay. Steak should be ordered a little more raw then you like as they will overcook it.
Sarah W.June 12, 2012Huge crab cakes. They were good but not as good as everybody made them out to be. Mussels are NOT good. The mint jelly with lamb chops was weird.
