    Fried Fish

    Captain Mo's was great! The service was excellent, and the fried fish was freshly caught, firm, flakey, and seasoned just right. We would recommend this to anyone who wants seafood.

    Good crabs, good price quick service. Convenient easy location, right off of 301. I will definitely order again and recommend to others!

    I LOVEEEEE Captain Mo's Seafood! I drive there almost every other week for some crabs about 35 mins away. Customer service is always on point every single time! I love the fact that I can call to place my order ahead of time almost anytime except holidays which are first come first serve (line can be crazy then). Please don't go expecting a fancy place to sit and eat at, but expect heavy quality crabs, nice employees and your moneys worth!

    I have been waiting for the 2020 crab season. Checked Capt. Mo's FB page to see if they were opened. Yup so excited. Placed my order for a 2 pm pickup. Asked should I pay now, how will you keep social distancing in such a small space, etc. The young lady said that it would be controlled. Arrive at 1:45 pm. The line was outside for the pickup window. It was down the sidewalk. I called to see if I had to stand in the line because I reserved my crabs for 2 pm. Yes, I do and the line consisted of people both who ordered crabs and who just walked up. The ONLY reason I waited is because my mother was looking forward to crabs. The crabs were not hot, not warm, not cold. Room temperature. Same thing happened last Mother's Day. I ordered crabs and stood in the line with everyone else. By the time I reached my turn they sold all the males. I accepted female crabs. What's the purpose of pre orders? They could at least have 2 lines and process the pre orders first. I will not be doing that again. I have 2 crab restaurants with 10 minutes near me that have delicious crabs. The specials are not always comparable to Mo's, but that's ok. I'll drive down literally, down the street.

    Horrible...overcooked the crabs! Nothing but mush smh...
    D.j. J.

    Overcooked and overpriced!!! Waited in line for 45 minutes just to get garbage crabs with no season.

    Medium males - a dozen and a half

    This was our first time going to Mo's and we were impressed!! I was a bit leary when they said the sizes they have are small, regular, and medium for males. Of course, we ordered the mediums. They were very meaty! They were also cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly. They will probably see me every weekend, if not more!

    Snow Crab Legs

    Snow crab legs were a nice size for $15/lb. & delicious. Now, the mixed brown and small female crabs for $30/2 dozen were empty and tasteless and appeared to be recooked.... HORRIBLE!!! I doubt if I'd recommend this place to anyone. Go ahead and take the drive to the Wharf in DC.

    I purchased large crabs and was given small.

    Consistently heavy and well seasoned crabs. Me and my family usually get a dozen every time and we are never disappointed.

Only been to the new location in La Plata maybe once since they moved here. I stopped coming because I didn't like how they fried the fish. The coating isn't nice and crispy. It's too light and just flakes off. Anyway, my family and I decided to order from here tonight 3-30-26. I ordered two croaker baskets and a jumbo shrimp basket. Placed my order at 5:07 pm. This was after standing in a long line. Walked down to Giant to make a purchase and then came back to my food still not ready. Finally decided to ask after sitting here for 20 minutes! How about the order was never put in! How the heck is that possible when I paid and have the receipt. Watched people that ordered after me get their food and leave. Here it is 5:56 pm and I still don't have my food! They said they put it in and it will be out soon. Several other orders have come out and I'm still sitting here! I tired to give y'all another chance. No apology or offer of anything. Yeah I'm pretty sure I won't be back! Do better! Oh finally got my food at 6pm. Carlita the cashier was the only one that really acknowledged what happened. Where's the manager! She should have come out to offer an apology. Smh.

Yes I said warm, those pieces wasn't even hot.. I felt bamboozled and deceived! My $40 gone down the drain, and while I'm headed half way down the road..I guessed they figured I wouldn't try it in the car on the way home huh, for me to discover they worked me.. They got over on me yesterday and I don't appreciate it..I won't be going back.

My wife and I are always talking about the different locations where we dine, and she kept saying, "I can't wait to try it." It was a little busy tonight. There were only a few tables left when we arrived, and shortly afterward they were all filled. We ordered drinks, and I also ordered the Baby Kale Salad. It had fresh apples that were sweet, crisp, and cut perfectly. The vinaigrette complemented all of the ingredients without overpowering them. It was a great way to start dinner. If I had one small suggestion, it would be just a little more dressing, but it was still wonderful. The three of us shared it. For dinner, my wife had the evening special--chicken with pappardelle pasta, asparagus, and a delicious sauce. My mom and I both ordered the Lasagne with house-made pasta, beef, fresh mozzarella, and tomato sauce. The meals came out looking fantastic, as they always do, and everything was excellent. My wife's chicken was incredibly tender and full of flavor, and it paired perfectly with the pappardelle pasta. I already knew the lasagna was going to be outstanding, and it certainly didn't disappoint. The service here continues to be exceptional. Our water glasses were always kept full, empty plates were cleared promptly, and everyone worked together to make it a great dining experience. For dessert, my wife and I ordered our favorite, the Lemon Cheesecake, and my mom chose the Apple Bread Pudding.

The Caesar salad was surprisingly small and came with only two croutons. The calamari was a decent portion size, but the flavor was just okay, I've definitely had better elsewhere. For our entrée, we ordered the fettuccine Alfredo. The flavor itself was very good, but the noodles were extremely watery, almost giving the dish a soup-like consistency. The portion size was also extremely small, especially considering the price point. Overall, I found the restaurant to be quite expensive for both the portion sizes and the overall dining experience. While the service and seating were fine, the food was ultimately underwhelming for me. Unfortunately, it's not a place I would return to.
