We loved this place! I mean it’s nothing super fancy or anything but the atmosphere and food is exactly what you’d expect. If you’re familiar with this area I’d call it a redneck Dutches. Like how your favorite aunt in Thurmont, MD, might cook fine Dutches dishes. That’s not a slam. It’s great good food and great drinks. We will 100% return. My only suggestion is to just go ahead and order the all you can eat hard shell crabs cause EVERYONE else will be and if you order anything else it might take a little time to get ready. Worth the wait though.

This was our first time here and boy are we glad that we came! We were greeted by Nikki who was our waitress. She was super nice, gave the best recommendations, and was attentive to our needs. I ordered the pepper burger and it was amazing!!! She also recommended the lump crab balls which was also delicious. I must say this place did not disappoint. We were about an hour away from home but we will for sure make our way back for more!

Amazing all-you-can-eat crab and shrimp deals; service very good and a little slow; inside mostly filled with tables in a big slace and a few booths; outdoor seating available and bar; no alcoholic beverage menu

The food was AMAZING, and way more than I could eat. It was more than I even expected. Ordered the crab cake with hush puppies, and got 2 huge crab cakes. The crab pretzel is also huge. All well worth the money and very good!

We stopped by after visiting the National Shrine for lunch; I saw that this restaurant had great reviews and decided to stop by. It’s definitely a hidden gem in this area. Came in on a busy day (unfortunately they were short staffed but we understood) but just waited patiently.

We were at the zoo next door and figured we stop in here for a late lunch at 2pm. There was only 1 other patron in the restaurant at the time and 1 waitress so we were promptly seated. Soon after, more parties began filing in, and by 3pm there were 8 tabs open with still only 1 waitress. Needless to say, once we received our food, it was impossible to get service. I had to end up standing at the bar to close our table out. Not totally her fault, she definitely needed help, but a quick stop by with the check would have got us back on the road much sooner. The food was ok, but the burger pictures was way undercooked. We took it off and just ate the crab cake part which was fine, just couldn’t get the waitress back to even tell her about it. The rest of the food was decent, just a bit oily.

Worst service ever!!! Went for the all-you-can eat crab legs. Waited a half hour for someone you acknowledge us to seat us. Was finally seated then waited 20 minutes to get acknowledged to get drinks and order. Got hush puppies 30 minutes later. An hour later we got 6 crabs for 2 of us . 30 minutes later we received macaroni salad. An hour later we finally got the crab legs, which were FROZEN at the cluster!!! Never again!!!

My friends and I found this place after leaving the lavender festival nearby. Hidden away but definitely a gem! Such delicious food. We got the crab ball po boy and the Chesapeake burger which came with a crab cake on top. And the unusual curly fries were amazing!! The staff were very friendly as well! Definitely recommend stopping in!

This is kind of a hidden gem, but if you’re passing through, it’s worth the visit. I feel like the locals are all over this! Food was amazing, service was friendly, but atmosphere was more bar than grill. We opted to sit outside, but we hadn’t considered that’s where the smokers would be, and there were a bunch of tiny little red mites on our picnic table. Regardless, highly recommend!
