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.

Our wait time wasn't long at all. I read some of the previous comments about the service being horrible but I didn't experience that. I just ordered a side salad and the crab balls. The crab balls were tasty, and the salad was just a salad, nothing special but it was edible. Overall this place isn't bad, most likely I'll return because I have family that lives down the street and Traders is their "go too".

I ordered crab imperial to go and all I got was a glorified dry crumbled crab cake. My friend ordered shrimp and fries and they were small. We decided to sit outside and it was soooo dead. I feel like it would've been a little better if there were music playing outside over the speaker that's outside. Also a boat came to dock while we were eating and the exhaust ended up nearly choking us, not to mention he hopped off the boat and opened the gate right behind me and just walked right in. Either they've really gone down hill or other restaurants have raised my standards. Needless to say we definitely will NOT be returning.

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.

I continue to pop in from time to time and always walked away disappointed and vowing never to return. So, yesterday I gave it another try... pleasantly surprised. My food was great along with my husband's meal. The food was hot and well prepared. The service has never been an issue; the staff is fine. I hope this continues. This place is one of the larger restaurants in the area and should definitely have more people in it.

After an amazing chartered fishing excursion, one of my shipmates suggested grabbing a bite to eat…read moreat 1936. We (Group of 12) arrived around 12pm & were among the first guests of the day. We were seated immediately. For starters we ordered 2 crab dips, 2 orders of fried green tomatoes, & 2 orders of crispy wings (Old Bay). Our non-alcoholic beverages included Pepsi products (no Coca-Cola ), ginger ale but no ginger beer. All of the appetizers were on point with flavor & texture. Also the Old Bay chicken wings were not as salty as other places serve them. I ordered the crab cake sandwich & onion rings. I had to box my crab cake because the small plates filled me up. I heated it in a pan later with a little olive oil spray and it was good. Our generous shipmate took care of thei bill so I'm not sure if splitting was an option. This was my first visit but definitely not my last. I enjoyed the relaxed vibes and proximity to the resort & dock.

Great family restaurant/bar. Has plenty of big screens to come watch your favorite sporting event…read morewhile having a cold one. So I got the Jalapeno burger (comes with fresh jalapenos bacon and pepper jack cheese w/lettuce, tomato and red onion. If you want condiments on it ask as it doesn't come with any) with a side of waffle fries. The burger was juicy and flavorful but to my likings just a little over cooked. The waffle fries were on point they were crispy just the way they should be. My friend had the seafood neptune which was clams, mussles, shrimp, scallops and crab over fettuccine topped with a five cheese sauce and side of garlic bread. Smelled and looked delicious and he said it was. The staff is wonderful and very attentive. So all in all highly recommend this great place to go have a good meal and relax or go and watch your favorite sporting event and partake in your favorite beverage/cocktail

Most notable standout - zucchini straws. Nice and crispy with a lovely peppercorn sauce. Would absolutely get again. Most of the other appetizers were fine, but standard. My wife ordered a burger and I got the soup of the day. Again, nothing bad. Kiddos ordered from the kids menu (Child #1 is a sucker for a cheese quesadilla), which has several options. Overall, a decent place to get a drink and some good food to accompany.
