    No crabmeat at all
    Bunny R.

    The worst crab cakes I've ever had. There was no crab.... All bread. Terrible. I feel like I got robbed....

    Pretty much a regular here. Ms.Lisa seasons my steamed shrimp to a T everytime! You can't sit inside and eat but she would have a crowd if you could. The portions are great and the prices are even better! Coleslaw is some of the best I've ever had.

    OMG! I think I found my #2 fresh seafood spot because the Wharf/Captain White's will always be #1!…read more BUT...Lucas is the bomb and because they are literally 8 minutes from my house. So I've only being in PG County for about 5-months so I'm trying to find all the spots. And everybody knows that the hood spots usually slap! And this place did not disappoint me at all! So getting into the parking lot is a little tricky because it is on a very busy road. But I had a nice person who let me in so I didn't have to wait in the middle of the street to turn in. I backed in and got out because I was really intrigued in how high this post has got in the Yelp! And when I walked in I could tell this was certified hood spot because the Asian guy in there had the swag. I ended up getting 2.5lbs crab legs, a lb of jumbo shrimp, and 2lbs of large shrimp. I got everything steamed expect the large shrimp to keep for home for another day. He was really cool and even threw in (2) sides of extra seasoning and even a carrot cake for free. Which I thought was really nice. He did ask me if I wanted butter which I said yes, but he must forgot because I didn't get any melted butter...maybe next time. The menu is extensive so you will find something you want fried, steamed, and a combination of both. The seafood was steamed perfectly and I can't wait to come back! PSA: next door is a convenience store which I would not recommend because the guy behind the counter acted like he couldn't speak. Mofo was silent as if he was mute. So 0/10 for that place. But Old Lucas 10/10 will recommend all day long!

    If Chipotle had a soulful, culturally rich cousin... it would be Spice Black. Period…read more I've been seeing this place all over social media, so when I found myself in the area, I had to see what the hype was about. First off, parking is easy. It's in a shopping center, so nothing stressful there, and the restaurant itself is easy to spot. Walking in, the first thing I noticed was how clean, polished, and classy everything looked. Even though it was busy, it didn't feel chaotic. The staff immediately greeted me and asked if it was my first time which I appreciated. They didn't just rush me through the line; they actually took time to explain the menu, how the bowls are built, and offered samples. That alone made the experience feel welcoming and intentional. Now let's get into the FOOD. Everything looked fresh. They have about four rice options (which is already a win), and I went with the pineapple coconut rice. For my protein, I chose grilled chicken, but they also offer shrimp, salmon, and even a mushroom option for vegetarians and honestly, the mushrooms looked so good I almost switched. For my added sides, I kept it simple because I really wanted to taste everything. Collard greens and sweet potatoes. But they also had plantains, and okra....real deal soul food options. Then you get into the fresh toppings. Slaws, carrots, pickled veggies. I kept it light. I finished my bowl with collard green pesto (which intrigued me, and I'm glad I tried it) and added an étouffée sauce over my rice... and listen!!!!! That combo? Chef's kiss. I grabbed a tropical punch juice, and just like everything else, it tasted fresh and well-made. Let me say this clearly: the food is a 10/10. If you're someone who will give Chipotle chance after chance, then you absolutely owe it to yourself to try Spice Black. 10/10. Worth your money. Worth the hype. Worth the experience.

    This is a small restaurant that has minimal seating. But its cozy and allows you to pop in and…read moreenjoy your meal by yourself or with a few friends. The restaurant is nicely decorated with vibrant colors and very clean. The service is friendly and welcoming. The food was okay. Not bad and just good in my opinion. Its not rave worthy but its still good. I would come back and try other options. This is still a good healthier option oppose to the many of terrible choices we have to choose from, this beats most unhealthy fast foods restaurants. For that reason I would return to try other food options. If you like chickpeas then this is your meal, Im not so it threw off the salad to me. I would have preferred chicken. Honestly, everything came together nicely as one salad, nothing was over powering. I'm just not a fan of chickpeas. They do have an option for shrimp but dont eat bottom feeders so that wasn't an option for me. My tastebuds are much different from yours so I would still give it a try. You might like it a little more than me. Its still a fairly good meal.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and I'm so glad I did. We were immediately…read moregreeted and seated right away. Now, I wasn't really happy about our seat but I couldn't see behind the wall to know if there was another table to request to move to. We were sat in the front corner I guess directly under a vent and it was already chilly outside. I didn't let it bother me because I really wanted to try ERRTHANG on the menu. Now, this is where I was about to get up and leave. We sat for a good while and NO ONE came to greet, take a drink order, or even ask have we been helped. I want to say it's because we were somewhat out of sight. Because it was freezing I got up and asked for another table, which was on the other side of the wall with all the other customers and much warmer even with the patio bar doors open. No, I don't remember my waiters name, but he came over immediately and apologized for us being stranded in the back. We went on to order our drinks which came fairly quickly and we ordered our food. I was kind of disappointed because he said they no longer served fried crab legs and should be taken off the menu, but that's OK. I was ready to order something else. I had Chef Mo's Shrimp & Grits and when I say it's the best shrimp and grits I've ever had in my life. It was amazing. The grits were three cheese grits with crawfish, étouffée, and large perfectly shrimp with some BOMB jalapeño beef sausage, which I would have removed, but I said let's do it. Best decision I've ever made. I cannot stop thinking about the grits. My friend ordered the Cajun fried fish and grits with a side of eggs (no pic). We both raved the entire time about how creamy and delicious the grits were. I didn't need to add anything, no butter, no salt, no sugar. They were absolutely amazing and I'm not even a huge grits fan. Now, the fish, the menu stated half a pound, which came out to be one small piece of whiting. I guess I was expecting a bigger piece or maybe two pieces because it was so tiny but that baby filet was seasoned to the gods, I mean perfect. The breading was so flavorful but not overpowering or salty. The eggs tasted like the eggs I had in the marines out of a bag, but he mix them with the grits and was fine. Everything was so good that we thought about coming back later that night to try something else. Please bring back the deep-fried crab legs

    Wanted to love it... but the service ruined the experience…read more I visited La'Caj Seafood to celebrate a friend's birthday during happy hour. Since I live in the Union Market area of DC, driving all the way to Camp Springs isn't exactly around the corner, so I was excited to finally check this place out. The first issue came before we even ordered. Happy hour runs from 4-6 PM, but nowhere on the website (or when you first arrive) does it mention that the specials are inside or at the bar only. We grabbed a table on the beautiful patio and waited for a server, only for her to tell us happy hour wasn't available outside. That would've been helpful information upfront. ‍ We made our way to the bar at 5:50 PM to order before happy hour ended. The bartender finished making a drink around 5:54 PM but never acknowledged us. Instead, she shuffled around behind the bar while we stood there waiting. Another employee finally came over at 5:59 PM and asked if we needed anything. We said yes--we were trying to place our happy hour order. As soon as the clock hit 6:00 PM, he told us the system wouldn't allow it because happy hour was over. We explained that we'd been standing there for several minutes waiting to be helped because the bartender ignored us. A manager came over and said she'd "make an exception," but respectfully...there wasn't an exception to make. We were there before 6:00. The delay was entirely on the staff. As for the food...it was pretty underwhelming. Mango Margarita - Super sweet and barely tasted like it had any alcohol. Fried Shrimp - Decent flavor, but nothing memorable. Cajun Mozzarella Nuggets - The biggest disappointment. These tasted like frozen mozzarella sticks straight out of a wholesale freezer with little to no Cajun flavor. Thankfully, the margarita was only $5 and both food items were $6 during happy hour. Had I paid full price, I would've been extremely disappointed. The restaurant itself is spacious, although the DJ booth takes up a good amount of room inside. The patio is honestly the highlight--it's beautiful, has plenty of seating, and they also offer hookah if that's your vibe. I just wish the happy hour specials extended outside because it's where most people would probably want to sit. I genuinely enjoy supporting Black-owned businesses and always hope to have a great experience. Unfortunately, between the lack of communication, being ignored at the bar, and food that didn't live up to the hype, this visit missed the mark. Great patio, affordable happy hour prices, but the service and execution need significant improvement before I'd consider making that drive again.
