    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.

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.

So my fiance tells me to get dressed and let's go get some good food. The ambiance was lovely. I do love having a reason to dress nice and it felt romantic. Even in a room with other tables and people, it wasn't overly crowded. It was extra nice to have our server take notice of the effort I put in. I wish I knew her name because I would absolutely share and recommend her 100%. She, plus the food, really cheered me up that day and that's kind of rare. It's rare to go somewhere new and fully have your spirits lifted. We tried the crab balls, the surf and turf with steak, added scallops and some sides. It was so good. The seafood, the steak, everything was cooked to perfection. It was very filling too. I think my favorite side was the rice. I did like the macaroni but I was unexpectedly blown away by the rice. I cannot wait to go back and share the experience with my daughter. I was eyeing the lamb and from how tender the steak turned out, I will definitely order the lamb next time.

Visit #1: Our bill was mixed up with another table. A basic, embarrassing mistake that set the tone for what was to come. Visit #2: We couldn't even get a table. No explanation, no apology -- just turned away. Visit #3 -- the final straw: My husband called ahead and made a reservation. When we arrived, the hostess flat-out denied ever receiving it, then casually assumed we'd "be there in a few minutes" -- as if she knew exactly who we were and what had happened. That's not a system glitch, that's negligence. What made it so much worse? Not a single apology. Instead, we were met with outright rudeness from the staff. And the food? Horrible. Not "disappointing" -- genuinely bad. To top it off, the restaurant has a noticeable unpleasant odor that made it impossible to enjoy even being inside. This place has had every opportunity to make things right and has failed spectacularly each time. The staff is rude, disorganized, and completely indifferent to customer experience. Save your evening and go literally anywhere else.

When I brought this to the server's attention, she went back and talked to the manager who also agreed the broccoli was overcooked so they comped the meal. The initial rating was going to be 2 stars but 9 times out of ten, this place makes really good food and the fact that the Customer Service saved them from losing a regular customer stands out over one bad meal. The server herself was embarrassed when I brought this up to her and I had to advise her this was not her fault, as she was always within reach and not hard to get the attention of. The wife had ordered a salad with chili vinaigrette and bleu cheese was initially brought out in a separate container. When we brought this to the attention of the server, she immediately corrected it and brought out two containers of the vinaigrette. The ambiance of the place was like a family owned establishment and all of the staff were on point and available at all times. It was cozy and didn't feel like we were being rushed while the place was hopping, the parking lot was full and the turnover was very quick. Never felt pressured or rushed, but the process was as smooth as silk. Still one of the best Italian restaurants in the area, which says something for a business that looks like a hole in the wall from the outside.

    I've been here before, but my wife had never been, so when she asked where I wanted to go for…read moreItalian food, I told her, "I already know where we're going." We arrived around 5:30 PM. As we pulled into the parking lot, it looked very busy. There were a lot of people standing outside and several near the entrance. As we got closer, we realized most of them were actually leaving, which was a good sign. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and seated right away. As it turned out, the gentleman who seated us was also our server. He brought us water and an iced tea while we looked over the menu. We decided to start with the fresh baby kale salad from the specials menu. It included fresh apples, pears, blue cheese, pecans, and a delicious vinaigrette. Shortly after, our server returned with bread and took our dinner order. My wife ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, and I ordered the Lamb Ragu special with homemade pasta. The salad arrived looking beautiful, and it tasted just as good as it looked. The apples and pears were fresh, sweet, and cut perfectly. The vinaigrette complemented everything without overpowering the ingredients. It was a great start to the meal. One thing I really appreciated was that our entrées didn't come out immediately after we finished the salad. We had a chance to relax and enjoy the evening. Sometimes a salad can fill you up, so it was nice to have a little break before the main course arrived. When our meals came out, both dishes looked amazing. Our server offered additional cheese for the pasta dishes. My wife added a little to hers, but I wanted to experience the Lamb Ragu exactly as the chef intended. The Fettuccine Alfredo was excellent. You could tell they use fresh cream, cheese, and butter to make the sauce. It was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. My Lamb Ragu was outstanding. The lamb was incredibly tender, and the sauce paired perfectly with the homemade pasta. I cleaned my plate. For dessert, we shared a slice of lemon cheesecake. My advice: don't share it--get your own slice. It was that good. The coffee was excellent as well and was the perfect way to finish the meal. We can't wait to return. The food here is consistently amazing, and the service is top-notch. What really stood out was the teamwork among the staff. You don't just have one server taking care of you. If our tea or water was getting low, someone was always there to refill it. Excellent food, excellent service, and a wonderful dining experience from start to finish.
