talk about nickle an diming. – Service was below average. Could not believe we were charged 50 cents for vinegar for fries, $1.25 for additional butter, 50 cents for horseradish for oysters.. Meals were served without knife and forks. I know at least a dozen people who will not go bach. I is a shame!

Expensive and OK (Not great) – I got turned onto thse folks be eating out on their deck. I ordered a half bushel and an extra dozen of medium and large mixed and was charged slightly more than $150. I see 1/2 bushels for sale in Ocean City tourist traps for $50. I will pay more but then i expect more and that wasn't the case here. If price matter to you, then shop. 

Business response:

This is true. Ocean City tourist traps sell "skinny", factory crabs which are hollow empty crabs for $50. You can buy those crabs off any boat in Maryland for $12 a bushel. Better yet why don't you just go out and catch them yourself. Then they'd be free, right? Jumbos by the 1/2 bushel are around $125 a 1/2 bushel and a dozen medium/large will run you in the $30's. This is cheaper than Baltimore and Annapolis markets for good quality crabs.

Great Crabs! Recommend to all our Friends! – Capt. Jim, Another order from us this year. We have enjoyed the many orders we've made with you throughout this year and last. We look forward to receiving some more nice supers. We grew up on the Severn River during the '60s and '70s, so we know what great crabs are, but now since we live in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia we don't have them available like we used to in the ''good old days''. We tell alot of our friends here that you have some great crabs, so hopefully some of ... read more

Best Crabs in Years! – Has a great nautical feel and we could see our crabs live before they were steamed. The spice on the crabs is wonderful.

Terrible Experience - Terrible Customer Service – I received an email confirmation when I placed my order on June 30th for my best friend's, "Blue Crab Pickin' 4th of July Birthday Party". On Friday morning, July 3rd, I called Chesapeake Crab Connection to obtain my tracking information, as I had not received it via email. I was informed that my ordered did not ship because an associate tried calling to get "verbal confirmation" of my order and was told it was an incorrect number. At that time, he evidently decided that the ... read more

Hands down Great steamed Crabs! – Can put your feet in sand outside in the summer. Place has a great authenic nautical feel about it. Great local hangout in the summer. Got a bushel yesterday for party and they were awesome.

Great Maryland Crabs! Right from the boat. – Being from the Eastern Shore this small place totally is a class act. We saw our crabs live and watched them get steamed fresh in the steam room, unlike most places that reheat the crabs. The atmosphere was great and made you feel like you were at the ocean. Natalia was our server and she was very pleasant and attentive. Felt like we were at a large Franchise business like Margaritaville in its early beginnings. This place has all the local charms of a place down on the islands. C... read more

Worst experience ever - awful service and management team - food overcooked – Went on a slow night and had to wait 20 minutes for a server to even approach the table (she only appeared because we flagged her down). We ordered all of our drinks and dinner the first time she approached us. We waited 13 minutes for our drinks (water and a soda) - we ordered 2 appetizers and 2 sandwiches - 1 app and 2 sandwiches were served together. When asked where the other app was we were told it was being "steamed" (the app is served cold) ... read more
