EXCELLENT Based on 2284 reviews RobApril 14, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time for me and my fam trying crabs and what a fantastic experience it was! Ashlyn was our server and she was great! We asked her if she could check on large crabs and we were in luck. They came out extra large and spiced well with Old Bay. Since it was my family's first time Ashlyn helped us and even asked to post some pictures for the restaurant's socials. It was so much fun and a great memory My kids and I had a blast pulling these things apart and our friends who are from Maryland guided us all the way. What an adventure The other food we ordered was out just as fast as the crabs and it was so tasty. The fried chicken was really good. Overall I really enjoyed this experience, would definitely recommend it, and plan on coming back Jamie BlakeleyApril 14, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My fiancé and I went for an evening out last night without our daughter. We sat in the formal dining room and it was just amazing. This was my first time here and I was very impressed, we will definitely be back. Crab dip was phenomenal. Prime rib was huge and juicy. My fiance said it was the best prime rib he’s ever had. I had the broiled seafood platter which was somewhat of a sampler, with lobster, a crab cake, shrimp and scallops. It was sooo good and hit the spot just right as I was wanting lobster. Jordan was our server and he was great. Very attentive and helpful. All in all, it was a great experience and we enjoyed ourselves immensely! You have earned some new regulars!
