Abraham TanJuly 31, 2014Outdoor deck has nice sunset view. Crabs are great tasting and big (12 jumbo for $130 today). Sides however are terrible (corn, slaw, pasta salad). 15% tip included.
Liz ANovember 6, 2013On Wednesdays, they do a lobster deal that can't be beat! It's $15 for a 1 lb lobster and two sides. Oh and they automatically add a 15% tip so it makes for an easy, inexpensive and delicious night!
Jason McLaughlinJanuary 5, 2016I had the chicken imperial with mashed potatoes and green beans, it was fantastic. David W took real good care of me at the bar! Bought a pretty lady an Island Breeze.
Always a favorite when we visit Baltimore. Crab cakes are the best. Also the crab and lobster salad is fantastic.
Leon ThomasJuly 11, 2011Crabs were great. I usaully tip more than 18% if the service is good. But if they're going to automatically add it on then 18% is all I do. Next time I'll be sure to DEMAND attentive in exchange for
K DouglasDecember 31, 2015Happy hour prices. Appetizers great portions. Enough to make a meal & tasty. Service was great.
Beth MayesJuly 20, 2013We came to have crabs. They don't have crabs! But they have great crab decorations and how to eat crab placemats! Disappointing! Call ahead if you want crabs!!!!!!
Gina GeppiMay 11, 2013Joe is an amazing server! So nice and took great care of us on their busiest day of the year. A++
ReeseMarch 9, 2014If you know what real crab dip should taste like don't get this. It's more dip than crab. But the shrimp is excellent.
Todd NagelDecember 4, 2012The crabs are the reason to come. Ask for Amanda. Def the best server iv had since iv been in Baltimore.
David EhrlingerJanuary 24, 2012Home Of The Unhappy Hour!? They got rid of happy hour!? This place is empty from 4:00-6:00 daily. Your crabs are delicious though...
Apryl MissAprylFebruary 26, 2011Got crabs here. Amazing. Crab pretzel rocks too. Oh, and they have Yuengling on tap. Bam!
You come here for 1 reason: the crabs. Best I've had in the city. You can pay per crab if you don't want to commit to dozens.
Peter WoloszynAugust 21, 2014Skip the appetizers, just get the crabs.... Extra larges or jumbos, if they're available.
Ana MontesJanuary 23, 2014If you like to eat morw Old Bay seasoning than crab, come here.nif you want to taste crab, I suggest finding another place.
Benaiah LeeApril 24, 2011Crab dip was light on crab, steamed shrimp were large and delicious. Next time we do crabs, rather than entrees
Brian CarmenAugust 11, 2012Their mediums are jumbos at most other places. Their jumbos are ridiculous.
Lindsey KimJanuary 9, 2012The crab was awesome ever but a bit pricy. Don't forget checking your tap they already put the service fee(18%) on your tap.
Viranuj SueblinvongOctober 21, 2010Try lunch time instead of dinner, no waiting. Crab cakes was great. Crab balls was alright.
If you don't tip at least 18% when you go out, then you really shouldn't go out to eat.
Stray StevensAugust 1, 2011Go between 1 & 4 for great service and at that time they have everything no waiting
Dara HApril 14, 2014Not happy with this place-no wings, no butter, no corn and no crab pretzel. They served my entree first, then the appetizer then Andrew's entree.

"Absolutely gorgeous ballpark right in downtown Baltimore. Fans were great when I visited as a fan of the visiting team. Seats were comfy for ballpark seats. Views were great from the 1st base side."

"Always a fun bar but also restaurant too. Lots of beers on tap and the crab dip is delish!"
Amy Rojewski Hasson - 9.2
"Only about 2/3rd the flavor intensity and sweetness of gelato you would get in Italy, but still the best and closest thing to the real stuff in the area."
