I was delayed in Baltimore because of an unexpected storm, and since Baltimore is known for its blue crabs, I had to find a great spot. This restaurant definitely hit the spot! The customer service was great, and everyone was very patient with me. The crabs were amazing and delicious. Do yourself a favor and call ahead because they make everything to order. Definitely worth the wait! read more

I am from Texas, living in California now so I miss good seafood for an even better price like back home! Visiting the DMV, I made seafood a priority. I like the food truck ambiance and that you can eat outside! I ordered the snow crab legs and boiled shrimp. I'll start with the good, the prices per pound of snow crab legs are $24.99. That's cheaper than back home in TX. Next, let's discuss the flavor. I LOVE THAT THEY USE SEASONING AND NOT SAUCE! That's what I'm used to, what I grew up eating! Last, the size of the shrimp and snow crab legs were HUGE. -- All in all, the snow crabs were perfect! Seasoned all through. The shrimp were too salty for my liking, but still juicy and delicious. The not so good, when I arrived I was reading the menu for a while. The lady at the window seemed to be annoyed by waiting for me to decided. I noticed they had the little hammers via the reviews, so when she asked me about wanting one I was like yea. I asked her if we could take them (bc I wasn't going to use it but take as a souvenir). Well, she was snippy about it and said "yea if you pay for it." So I let her know I wasn't from there and it was my 1st time at her establishment. -- it was a little off putting to be honest. I would love to go back, but I am not sure based off the experience with staff. Just didn't feel welcoming. read more

Awesome customer service, and fantastic quality crabs. size was exactly as promised (we got extra large) and we promptly got a phone call at exactly the time we had ordered them for letting us know they were ready. Corn was incredible as well as was the shrimp. They have great deals if you're buying a lot. Five stars! read more

Ordered a dozen and a half x large crabs for 5 pm. I live literally 3 minutes drive from here. Got there at 4:50, told them my name and that I was here. She said the crabs aren't ready. A lady received her order and she complained that they weren't x large. At first they tried to convince her they were x large but she persisted. Finally they said they got her order mixed up and would steam a new order. At 5:10 i checked in again, still not ready. 5:18 they told me it was ready. I drove home, again, literally 3 minutes and opened the bag the first 2 crabs were lukewarm. Anyone who's ever eaten crabs knows if you're waiting 20 minutes for crabs, they should be piping hot. I took them back and told them I suspected they gave me the other persons order and got my money back. Don't trust this place. read more

We have been wanting to try out the crabs at this place all summer! We finally did, the weekend after Labor Day. We called ahead and placed our order for a dozen XL crabs. We arrived earlier than our pick up time, but the crabs were ready right at the time we had asked for! The crabs we received were hot and heavy! The seasoning was perfect. We were also very pleased with the size. I feel like this place properly sorts their crabs and we got what we paid for. read more

Was browsing Yelp for its suggestions in getting steamed crabs near in Elkridge and found this place. Albeit only 8 reviews thus far, all said such positive things that I wanted to try it. My husband put in a very long day serving other fathers and families this Father's Day weekend so wanted to give him a treat. Maryland blue crabs are his favorite! Unfortunately, by the time I got to the food truck, they were out of all females and extra and jumbo size males. So I went for a couple of large males & their special 3 lbs of steamed shrimp. (Because they said they were out of the extra large - this is important!) There was a line so had to wait awhile, but the service was friendly and there was a nice cool breeze. I was so excited to have my first crabs for this season! While waiting, these 2 guys come along and order a dozen of extra large makes & they get them! When they called my name to get my order, I had to express my dismay... So sad that they would discriminate... for whatever the reason... read more

I don't usually get crabs this early in the season, but needed something to break the monotony of the last few weeks (shelter at home). First time trying this spot and was pretty please. Placed the order ahead of time and they were ready when I got there. Had one issue though, I was 6 crabs short on my order, when I called back they were very accommodating. Mistakes happen and I was happy with how they handle it. They aren't for from wear I live so I was able to go pick up the rest. They were fresh out the pot. The crabs were very good and so was the corn. They also have pit beef and pulled pork. Definitely a spot worth checking out. read more

Great deals - especially when they have buy a dozen get a dozen free. My fiancé and I were getting crabs from them every week during the summer - they are that good. Their seasoning is also delicious and they aren't stingy with it! Honestly haven't had a bad crab from them. Their corn is also very good. The staff is also super friendly! Never had a bad interaction and always welcome us with a smile and a see you next time :) Follow their Facebook for their daily specials/offerings and make sure you call ahead to place your order quickly because sometimes they sell out super fast! 10/10 would recommend. read more

I arrived at this place before they opened at 11am because I was afraid of them running out seeing that it was Father's Day weekend. There was about 4-5 customers in front of me already waiting in line. Not sure why but it took FOREVER for people to order and move along. I wanted to get some male steamed crabs and they said they only had small, medium and XL (they just opened...why?!?!). So I got dozen XL steamed crabs and 2lbs of crab legs. Cost me about $120. And was told it'll take about 20-25 minutes but took 45+ minutes. I asked if I can get some rolled paper to cover my table, they said it's $1.50/roll. It was pouring rain and I didn't want to take my wallet out so I said forget it. I got home and poured out the seafood I got and was little disappointed with how small the XL crabs looked. My whole family was saying I got ripped off so I decided to measure it and yes they were all pretty small for XL. As for taste, it was OK. Some crabs were undercooked and they overdid it with old bay seasoning. I'll probably check out other steamed crab places first before I decide to go back to this place. read more

The cocktail menu has some fun and unique options and the food menu has something for everyone! We got the mussels to start, and honestly I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture. But the sauce was delicious and I loved the potatoes that came with it. The mussels themselves were very large too! For my main I got the hake, which was so tender and flavorful. It was a generous portion and I was stuffed, but we kept seeing other people order the coffee cake and couldn't help ourselves. I'm so glad we got it, because I'm not normally huge into coffee cake, but this was so delicious that we finished it all! Our server had great recommendations and was patient as we took a long time deciding what to order. I can't wait to come back!

You can tell this place has a lot of history behind it, and I love the location too. It's such a vibe to sit here with a lobster roll. Their fries are also delicious -- I asked for aioli even though it doesn't come with them originally, and their housemade aioli was so worth asking for. Highly recommend doing the same! And again, apparently BTS booked the whole place out for a day!!! That should tell you everything. Would absolutely come back.

I told the cashier that I wanted a dozen of large females crabs. She told me that they would be arriving at 4pm. That I could take a card and call in the order at that time. I did just that and was told that I could pick them up at 5. The crabs did not disappoint! The large females were $59 they were piping hot and so satisfying. I love both male and female crabs. So I would purchase both. My neighbor said they make a good shrimp Salad as well. I will be purchasing that as well on my next visit. They have if you order online for the first time you can get a 5% discount. I most definitely will be back!

When I arrived she informed me that she had no female crabs, which was a waste of my time to wait. She also denied that she said it. I later then decide to dine in. On the cocktail menus, there is no prices which is very predatory to those who are drinking. Why would everything else have price except the drinks? This is seen as dishonest or very predatory practices. And if you're willing to be predatory or dishonest on your menu, I can only expect what I did receive, which was extremely small crabs for it to be medium. I am Florida girl and I would never recommend this place. Ambience is not that great. The service was enough, not to complain. The e crabs were extremely small for them to be considered medium. I would advise anyone to go somewhere else.

Today I was taking my dad around and he wanted to stop here for a late lunch or early dinner. He had a craving for some oysters. Unfortunately they did not have any oysters in stock. We still decided to stay and dine in though. The restaurant area isn't very large. After coming in we seated ourselves. Within a few minutes a waitress came over and took our drink orders. We also ordered cups of cream of crab soup as an appetizer. For our main courses I had the 6.5 oz crab cake platter and my father went with the 4 oz crab cake platter. You get two sides included. I ordered the onion rings and mixed vegetables while my dad went with onion rings and cole slaw. The crab cakes were good. Had a good flavor and not full of filler. The cream of crab soup was also delicious. Had me craving more. Plenty of lump crab meat in it. A bowl would probably fill me up as a meal. The onion rings were nice and crispy just like I like them. Mixed vegetables were nothing special. Just steamed veggies with not seasoning. Service was fast and friendly. Everyone was so very nice and made it a comfortable visit. I will definitely be back and so happy my father wanted to stop in this day.

There was lots of beautiful Maryland Chesapeake artwork on the wall.

I stepped in on a Saturday afternoon and found that was very true. I stood in line and then waited 20 minutes for my crab order. I chose the 3 doz small males for $46. Price not bad for that size.

So I waited until then just for a lady to say they were waiting for their truck to come which wasn't going to be there until 6:30.

I have been hearing so much about LP Steamers recently and I am so glad I finally got to try it…read morethis weekend. The crabs were meaty and delicious, with even the legs having meat in them. That is always my favorite part! We sat inside and upstairs, and it felt like the perfect little table escape. It wasn't too loud and food was delivered so quickly. Service was great! The prices are very reasonable for a seafood house, especially the hearty seafood platter. The lobster tail on that was amazing. My only request would be for them to actually say what kind of oysters they have, instead of saying "local oysters." They were still delicious and the perfect way to start our meal. Additionally, for being a seafood house, it was fairly clean. You are encompassed in seafood from the moment you walk in, in the best way possible. It is truly a meal you won't regret!

This restaurant did not disappoint! We were seated upstairs, surrounded by people eating crabs by the dozen. Nice! However, we weren't much in the mood to fight for our meals so we got the hushpuppies and fried pickles for an appetizer and then decided to split a double crab cake platter with curly fries and coleslaw. Hushpuppies - fabulous! (Not sure how I feel about the cinnamon butter, and I like cinnamon) Fried pickles - epic! And the bmore ranch served with them? Stellar. Crab cakes - fantabulous! It was almost entirely crab with very little filler. The crab meat was sweet and succulent and just perfect. I liked the slaw - it had a tiny hint of jalepeno or something. The only thing that wasn't great were the curly fries, and it's not like they were bad. Just not fabulous. Also, the servers were very nice. The power went off while we were there and everyone just took it in stride til it kicked back in. Excellent restaurant and I'm so glad we went!
