The food is fantastic! I really enjoy the soup with bread, the crab cakes, and the fried mussels. The prices are very reasonable too. You should definitely come and try it!

Absolutely awesome! Had the grilled chicken po boy with mac and cheese, both delicious! My husband had cream of crab soup in bread bowl and a crab cake, both delicious. Got a quart of cream of crab soup to take home. Will definitely be back soon

We arrived just as they were closing, and they treated us to an incredible meal. The shrimp were the best we've ever had—crispy and bursting with flavor. The crab cake sandwich was fantastic, just as we anticipated, and the Jambalaya was described as "incredible." All the staff were exceptionally friendly! The service was quick and welcoming, making for a delightful experience. I highly recommend this place. If you're in Maryland, be sure to stop by for a taste of authentic seafood!

Wow! It was absolutely amazing! I wish I could give it six stars. The crabs were delicious and definitely fresh. My son loved the large fried fish po' boy sandwich. We ordered a second round of the wow shrimp (which are not baked, and I loved that!). The roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes were cooked to perfection. The only downside was that we couldn't try even more dishes because everything looked so tempting. It felt like a laid-back, diner-style experience. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive!

A buddy living in the area recommended JB's and wanted to take some crabs to Deep Creek for the weekend. I called a few days ahead and got a buck of #1s. These were some of the best crabs we had, including in southern MD. Hardly peeled rusty soil crabs... would make the hour trip to get em again. The staff was also friendly. They also had a beautiful seafood market selection.
