About this business

Maryland is well-renowned for crabs-plucked fresh from the Chesapeake Bay and steamed with a unique blend of spices. Brown paper covers the tables and the only utensils are small mallets and knives-and your fingers! Hard-shell crabs brought fresh from the steamer to your table are, naturally, the specialty. Crabs are seasonal; be sure to call ahead and check if they are available and to make a reservation. Crab cakes and steamed shrimp are on the menu when crabs are out of season.

Know before you go! - Your reservation is not a guarantee of being seated, you are 'reserving your crabs'. We had to wait about an hour. Good price for Bethesda, friendly service, crabs were tasty and high quality (no-one at our table got a bad one).
