    Large order of onion  rings!!!  Delicious!
    Deb W.

    Happy New Year's Eve at Big Mike's Crabhouse!!! The food was absolutely amazing! From the onion rings, crabcake, that is full of crab meat, the fried shrimp, and the fresh freshly steamed shrimp, were just all so very delicious!!! This place in Hanover is very well known for their seafood, and by the pictures, you can see why. Everyone there is so very nice and accommodating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is not a fancy place, you can go dressed very casually and enjoy all kinds of seafood.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you wish to, you can take your own adult beverage to enjoy with your meal. We saw a couple sitting next to us that brought their own beer. They could enjoy while they were cracking their crabs! my husband ordered a pound and a half of the large steamed shrimp that are served to you hot and with their own cocktail sauce, they were so big we could not even finish all of them, so we brought them home to enjoy today. We will be returning soon as we really enjoy the seafood here!!!!!!

    We woke up today with no intention of getting crabs or seafood. An amazing Facebook post about a special got the ball rolling. They advertised a dozen crabs, a pound of shrimp for $50. My son and his girlfriend bought their steamer for $35 that had Crab legs, shrimp, clams and muscles. They were super nice and swapped out more shrimp instead of clams. The lady on the phone was super nice. My son and his girlfriend picked everything up and while waiting they said there was inside and outdoor seating. We were nervous about getting crabs on a special, expecting them to be small and light. Wow we were wrong! The food was delicious and good sized crabs and jumbo shrimp. The kids splurged for a quart of cream of crab soup and fries. Just as amazing. I did add more old bay to the soup but not a big deal. Try them out. It was nice sitting at home eating a quality meal from a local restaurant.

    Hanovers seafood hotspot. You can get crabs, various forms of cooked shrimp, and so much more.

    Best crabs around period! Ever better than the tourist places at the beach. They say Mediums, but they're larges, they're all steamed perfectly and all full. The Chicken is unreal as well. Service is always fast and super friendly from this family owned business. Do yourself a favor and go!

    Friendship day with my bestie. We ventured to Hanover. My friend recommended Big Mike's for lunch. You call in order. There is outdoor seating with big fans to cool the area. Service was friendly. They wore masks (thank you). Our food choices were delicious. Crab melt won though-such flavor. Very relaxing spot. Definitely going back.

    They know how to cook seafood. The crab cakes are really good. Five star all the way.

    I had lunch at Warehouse Gourmet Bistro & Brewpub and overall enjoyed the food and beer, though…read morethere were a few things that kept the experience from being better. We sat upstairs in the brewpub area. We would have preferred a regular table, but it seemed like they really wanted to seat us at a high-top. I didn't feel like pushing back, so we took it. I assumed maybe they were trying to keep the four-top regular tables open, but by the time we left, the high-tops were full and the regular tables were still empty. Maybe there was a reason for it, but it made the seating feel a little odd. For food, I split the meatball appetizer and the tarragon chicken salad sandwich with another person. Both were good. The meatballs were golf-ball sized and served in a small skillet of marinara with two slices of bread. No complaints on taste or quality. The sandwich was also solid and about what I expected from the menu. That said, the pricing felt a little high for what we got. The sandwich was $14 and did not include a side, and the four-meatball appetizer was also $14. Again, the food was good, but it was definitely on the pricier side. I also had the cream ale and the blonde ale. I don't remember the exact prices, but they seemed in line with the styles and I enjoyed both. My biggest complaint was the 3.99% credit card surcharge. That seems steep, especially at a restaurant where lunch can already add up quickly and most people probably aren't carrying enough cash to cover a full meal. To their credit, there was ample signage about the surcharge, so it was not a surprise at checkout. Still, at this price point, adding nearly 4% for using a card left a bad impression. Without the surcharge, this probably would have been a 4-star experience for me. The food and beer were good, and I did not have any real complaint about the quality. But the surcharge, combined with the slightly odd seating experience and higher prices, brings the overall visit down to 3 stars. Overall, I'd consider going back, but the seating experience and credit card surcharge would make me think twice.

    A super mixed experience here. Came by on a Friday evening and was seated very quickly. Our server…read morewas a nice person and treated us really well! I didn't get any drinks, but my friends really enjoyed the beers here. Food was not the best. I personally enjoyed my coconut curry chicken, but my friends weren't impressed with their food, notably the sourdough bread on the sandwiches and the chicken pot pie being particularly unimpressive. If you come, stay clear of the sourdough and pot pie but the beer is good!
