Nestled in a casual setting, this restaurant specializes in authentic Maryland cuisine, particularly its celebrated crab dishes. Diners rave about the Maryland crab soup, rich in flavor and abundant in crab meat, and the homemade crab dip. The crab cakes are often highlighted for their lack of filler, complemented by a delightful mustard sauce. While prices reflect quality, some dishes have faced criticism for being bland or overpriced. Yet, the warm service, especially from staff like Robin, enhances the dining experience. Whether craving crab cakes or steamed crabs, this restaurant promises a taste of home with every bite.

Service and staff very nice. food was ok not great. Crab soup very good. brisket sliders good. Crab cake dissapointing. Being a Marylander my standards are high. Too much filler and low taste. Would like to try the steamed crabs on a Saturday .

Very disappointed with this restaurant. The crab soup and dip were very good, but everything else was pretty poor. The crab cakes had a lot of crab meat, but were as bland as can be, as were the baked stuff shrimp dishes. They charged $38.50 for these dishes. Ridiculous price for bland food. The brisket was a dried piece of pot roast with no flavor at all. Wow. Really bad. Nothing other than the soup and dip were seasoned. How the hell did this rate a 4.8 on Open Table. I rate this a 2 at best, unless you are just getting the soups, which are very good. I had high hopes for this place as it is a mom and pop shop. But you need to bring it if you are going to charge these prices. This was very much amateur hour. What a shame. They did not bring it.

If you love crab, this is your spot! Dinner menu has crab cakes, crab imperial, shrimp stuffed with crab...and something else. And boy do I love crab...the cakes are the best. No filler at all. Mustard sauce delicious and you can have 2 sides. This delight doesn’t come cheap, but worth every penny. We started with a shrimp cocktail that was super as well. There are only 3 tables inside without my ambiance. Outside is better if you can get it. This place is a real gem!

My wife and I visited this restaurant for a date night, and it was such a wonderful experience. The food was delicious! Robin was very friendly, but we wish we had known in advance that we needed to pre-order a dozen blue crabs. We'll definitely give it a try next time!

Delicious food and crab dishes, and the owner was super nice! Everything was fresh. Will come back for sure.
