Loved it! Great service. Fun with brown paper tablecloth and a dozen medium Maryland crabs, wooden hammer and apple cider vinegar to dip crabmeat. Hush puppies were to die for too! 

Business response:

Thank you for your visit! Please come again!

Crabs had an odd smell. Had to have a minimum of 2 orders for the crab feast. When asked for a second dozen was told no - could only have half a dozen. Then it took so long when asked for more said my time ran out. Well it wouldn't have run out if he had made the crabs when I asked! Took 25 minutes for him to remember to bring me water. And it took so long that by the time I got the water it was melted. Was disappointed and the 20% gratituty was another rip off

As a Marylander, I have found the atmosphere and service amazing. The Crabs are up to par with what I am used to in Baltimore. Will definitely go back in the future!

I am a seafood lover evet since I can remember. The crabs and shrimp were amazingly tasty and go well with beer. I also tried the oysters and they were on point. I did taste the clam chowder soup but was a bit disappointed but good. My son ordered a burger and did not eat because he loved the crabs and shrimp. Overall Ernies is one of the best places in the DMV for crabs.

What you see is what you get. Don't expect fancy surroundings. My steamed mussels were good as were my fries. A pleasant surprise was the kimchi. Reasonably priced. You get what you pay for. The
