Awesome local crabs!…read more We were staying in town for a small family vacation and of course we need to get some MD crabs during the summer. Our host had recommended this spot and it did not disappoint. We got a couple dozen crabs and some shrimp and we were stuffed. The crabs were fresh, as I was literally waiting for them to come in from the fisherman in the morning., and waited outside for them to be cooked. The crabs were sweet and stuffed. We loved them! This is a pick up spot, they do not have dine in. I would call in the order as early as you can when they open. I'm sure they run out at some point.

We did have trouble getting the attention of the disorganized wait staff, the dishes were brought to the table in odd succession, and we had to signal for attention, like getting the bill. Finally, it was so loud in there we couldn't hear each other. So I guess we talked loud too and contributed to the noise level. Good food, but be prepared.

The crab bisque is neither bisque or crabby... it's thin and watery and zero flavor or crab...just awful the tuna carpaccio, knife cuts rough, no olive oil no lemon , again disappointing Tried the Oysters Rockefeller, these were good, The star of the menu is dessert, the crème brûlée lovely great service in the restaurant but the food in all three outlets is bad.

A few weeks after moving to the DC region, my husband and I decided to make a trip out to…read moreChesapeake Beach just for the crab and the experience. On our first try, we got lost in DC and never found the correct freeway to get to the beach--3 hours wasted! Second try-- same deal. Finally, we got smart phones and figured out how to get East of DC. The following is our 100% factual experience. When we pulled into the dirt parking lot of Abner's Crab House, I could tell my husband was already re-thinking the our restaurant choice. The decor from the outside looks rustic and authentic so I talked him into getting lunch at Abner's (we're new to the East coast and just HAD to try some crabs...). We were seated outside near a tributary and some trash cans that were swarming with flies and smelled much worse than low-tide. There was one other table of people outside near us. At this point, I revealed to my husband that on the East Coast, people straight up crack and eat whole crabs (this offended his Mid-Western sensibilities) and he ordered a crab-cake sandwich. I ordered 6 whole crabs and our waitress taught me how to smash them with a mallot,"remove their lungs", and eat the meat. I was feeling VERY cave-woman at this point. Husband's face? Priceless. The food was nothing special to me, it was a new experience to eat crabs this way but I could not get over the smell of the trash cans and the flies. About half-way through our meal, the most surreal and bizarre thing happened. A little boy and his mother brought out a karaoke machine, set it up about 4 feet from us, and the mother started belting into the microphone. Since it was far too loud for me to hear my own thoughts, let alone speak with my husband: I continued my crab-smashing/lung removing lunch in silence. The next thing we know, the little boy puts on a top-hat and starts singing and dancing to several Michael Jackson songs. The performance was complete with crotch-grabs and moon-walking. Remember there was ONE other table of people sitting outside... Weirdest. Day. Ever.

Let me start with this establishment is selective in whom they chose to serve. (read between the…read morelines) On the outside it looked like a inviting restaurant. So was interested in visiting the restaurant. Entering the restaurant, was small and no servers was available for about five minutes. When the server came out, all they said was "I can't serve you"". So we thought they did have enough staff ( it was a joke) at that time. But as the conversation continued we realize it was not about not having enough staff but who we were sitting in front of the person and that said " I am just the messenger". It is so disheartening to know that in 2026 we are still dealing with close minded individuals. Unfortunately, I can't give this place more stars and if there was a way to give it less than one star, that would be a less than.

My senior women's group met at 1936 this afternoon for a Happy Hour gathering at 4 pm. One of our…read moremembers had made a group reservation well in advance for about fifteen women. When we arrived, and explained to the server that we always request separate checks (people tend to come and go at different times), he had to go call the manager. The manager absolutely refused to try to work something out. For context, the place was nearly empty. Many of us had driven down from Annapolis. We do these gatherings several times a month and places are always fine with the arrangement as long as they know before the order is taken. I told her we are used to other places that charge an automatic 22% gratuity to cover any hassle factor. Servers give us each a number or keep track of the seat that gave a certain order. But the manager would not budge. So I had one woman who left without ordering anything and another who only ordered a beverage. The views are lovely. Our server was a nice young man. The food is so-so. I would not order the chicken popper egg rolls again. They were like frozen tostitos. So we will not return. There are plenty of nice places around the Beaches, including Ketch 22, where they want our business.

Overall, a decent place to get a drink and some good food to accompany.
