    It's a really quaint and cozy spot in the area. The server was fairly good but it did take awhile for food to be ready. The best thing was the share spinach dip. My pasta dish needed more seasoning.

    Seafood Trio Salad
    LaTia S.

    I visited on a Sunday afternoon post brunch rush because this place is always super busy for brunch! I knew exactly what I wanted the seafood trio salad which was so delicious I'm telling you this salad has salmon, fried shrimp, a mini crab cake with craisins and tomatoes, it was exactly what I needed in my life. The food is always seasoned well and service is top tier. Ashley is my favorite bartender, her drinks are always on point. Come visit if you're thinking about, you won't be disappointed.

    Seafood spring rolls to go

    I ordered online two Thai Lobster Noodle meals and seafood spring rolls. The food was not good. It taste like it was from the freezer. These meals do not look like they are worth $38. My total bill was $99 including a $10 and I am so disappointed. The service was fine with pick up.

    I would give 3.5 stars if I could. My overall experience at Crab Cab was positive. I came for happy hour and the prices were great. It is a cute restaurant with a cozy, but chic interior. I also loved their playlist! The music was a vibe. My server was also very friendly. As for the food, I enjoyed the calamari because it was tender. The brussel sprouts were also tasty. The crab cake sliders were okay and the chips that came with the crab and shrimp dip tasted a little stale and needed salt. The drinks were strong. I have heard the Alexandria location is better and I definitely want to try that location.

    Crab & Shrimp Spinach Dip
    Dominique M.

    My and a couple of friends were looking for a spot in the area that had crab dip so we tried here. The place is very cute but is super small. The staff was very friendly. I had the lamb chops Oscar style. They were pretty good. My friend had the lobster pasta, it was like an Asian Lo mein style pasta , but it was really delicious. The spring rolls were pretty good as well. The star of the show was the crab dip. It was so good that we got a total of three orders of it. I also had the triple b cocktail, if u like lavender I will love it. For dessert I got the strawberry crunch cheesecake and that was really good as well. Overall this is a great choice.

    This was my first time and I was very impressed. The decor was wonderful. I ordered the crab dip and seafood eggrolls. The crab cab sauce was very good with eggrolls. I did expect them to be a tad bit bigger. The crab dip was excellent. Very tasty and not a lot of mayo. The flavor was robust. I ordered the shrimp basket and my sister ordered the shrimp po boy. Both were very good. I will definitely be back. I was also impressed with the manager cleaning and checking on customers. Our server was Erin, she was very nice, however one suggestion, do NOT grab customers glasses over the top. Your hands should be around the bottom of the glass.

    I've loved this spot when they were just a food truck. Salmon fries will always be my go-to! Now this location, like the VA one, is very tight space wise. It's hard to not feel like you aren't going to bump into someone's table when trying to get back. But the food was delicious. I was sad the oysters came out after our entrees but no complaints in the cook at all. Also service was a little behind because the bartender had customers at the bar and still had tables, like mine.

    Fried Catfish

    Made a last minute reservation for Mother's Day weekend and was surprised they had something available. My mom, daughter, and I visited for brunch/lunch and arrived around 1pm. The bar was full but they had plenty of open tables. We were seated immediately upon arrival. The restaurant is small but cozy with a nice kind of boho theme to the decor I really liked it. I wish I could remember our server's name but she was amazing. There were so many good options on the menu it was making it very hard for us to choose. But she offered some really great suggestions and we loved everything we tried. We started with the seafood spring roll and the crab and shrimp spinach dip. Both were delicious but that spinach dip had me ready to order a second one. My daughter was scrapping the bowl. They have a wide variety of flavored lemonades I tried the passionfruit and my mom got the white peach they were tasty and not overly sweet. Now on to the entrees I had the Brunch Lamb chops which came with breakfast potatoes and eggs. The lamb was seasoned to perfection and cooked perfectly. I usually hate breakfast potatoes are restaurants but these were chef's kiss. Seasoned well and cooked fork tender. I added a side of collard greens just to try and they too were also very good. My mom had the catfish dinner and added crabcake too it. She said she loved the catfish but would probably skip the crabcake next time. My daughter had the cinnamon toast crunch French toast with fresh fruit and let me tell you that is probably the BEST French toast I've ever had. It was so good. Overall, loved the ambiance of the restaurant. Food was delicious and service just as great. Look forward to coming back to enjoy some nice weather and food on their patio.

    Blue Berry Smash

    Yikes . As almost ALL the reviews state, the service was TERRIBLE. My husband and I got there around 4pm on a Wednesday with very minimal people there and left around 6:30pm. We only had three appetizers and 2 drinks. There was about four people behind the bar all of which kind of ignore the fact that you're sitting there. We ordered and the wrong food came out after an hour. By the time the right food came out I tried eating so fast I didn't take a picture. A girl was starving! Important part - Food Crab and shrimp spinach dip: 7/10 Seafood oysters: 4/10 Crab cake stacker sandwich: 6/10 per husband Drink: South Sunset: 8/10 Blue berry smash: 7/10 Ambiance: Actually a nice place. Small but cute. Unfortunately I will never be back because of service.

    The place is small but beautifully decorated. It's an outdoor/indoor space and seems like a good place to go if you want to catch a little vibe in your local Upper Marlboro area. This ain't DC, so let's all tailor our expectation of vibe . This place does have potential to be a spot where the older crowd or young professionals gather just to chill or to just hang with your significant other. You are going to want to make sure they got your order correct. They messed up on my wife and I order and had to come back to use to take it again. Food: Crab & Shrimp Spinach Dip - 6/10.. it was ok but missing something to make it pop. Maybe pretzel bread would be better than the tortilla chips and the flavor of the dip was mediocre. Crab Cake Sandwich Stacker - 6/10.. this was another mediocre meal. There was nothing about it that really made it memorable. It tasted like any other crab cake that you could get from anywhere. It could have used some more old bay and they could have put more sauce on it. Drinks: Sunset Beach: 8/10.. this drink is great for those who love something sweet and not overpowered by alcohol. Blueberry Smasher: 10/10.. just the right amount of alcohol and flavor. For those who want to try something but not into the sugary drinks. Honestly, the drinks are what is making me rate this place a 3 over a 2. Overall, the experience was meh. Service was slow, we almost got double charged for a meal, and got the wrong order first. On top of getting the wrong order first, the food was so delayed that the woman who came after us, looked over and said, "dang, you all were before me and haven't ate yet." It's just starting out, so maybe they just need time to find their footing.

    lobster thai chili noodles
    Monet H.

    Food was good, prices were reasonable and the drinks were tasty. I had the lobster egg and cheese croissant and the French toast. My food could have been hotter (temp) wise, but it was all very tasty. The French toast didnt even need syrup. The blueberry mimosa carafe gave us like 3 drinks each! Very warm, friendly and attentive staff, clean and simplistic decor. The 90's and 2000"s RnB was a vibe. Will return!

    Stuffed salmon & honey glazed brussel sprouts.
    Don B.

    So I recently ordered Crab Cab to go for lunch. I placed my order as soon as the restaurant opened, so when I arrived the food wasn't ready, so I grabbed a seat at the bar and waited. The inside is really nice, dim, sleek ambiance, perfect for a date night, or an intimate meal. The hostess came out from the back and informed me that one of my items would not be ready, and allowed me to pick another item to replace it. Now the food. The seafood egg rolls are tiny. But for $6 I shouldn't have had big expectations. They're simply just mini spring rolls with shrimp and I believe salmon inside. They came with a creamy sweet Thai chili sauce, which was ok. Those get a 7/10. The Mac and cheese side was enough for two people. But it was good. Creamy, seasoned, rich. 8/10 the brussel sprouts had a honey glaze on them that didn't seem to stick to the sprouts, so they lacked flavor 6/10. The stuffed salmon was cooked well. The crab stuffing on top was tasty, and I enjoyed that. 8/10. So overall I'd give this spot an overall 7.5/10. I'd like to go back for happy hour and see how that is.

    The food, the service and the vibe. I will be back again. DEFINITELY! This place is a definite visit.

    The food here was actually really good would definitely go back and the prices were reasonable…read more Ordered catfish combo and catfish poboy and small shrimp fried rice. Service was excellent five stars. Catfish was cooked well but a little salty wish they cut down on seasoning felt my pressure going up eating it LOL. Shrimp fried rice not my favorite as it had chewy peas, carrots, onions and no egg but shrimp was good. Everything you get hefty portions. Would go back 4 1/2 stars

    I've been wanting to try this spot for a while now and finally decided to stop by on a Friday…read morenight. I remember this place used to be to be a hibachi carry out of some sort not too long ago. However I've been seeing their fried rice online and it grabbed my attention because of the veggies and the dark color it had. It reminded me of how the fried rice from the Chinese carry out used to be in the 90's early 2000's. For some reason nowadays when you order fried rice , there tends to be nothing inside of it besides onions and bean sprouts. What happened to the peas and carrots!!!!! I entered the store on a Friday night--which had only 1 customer who was waiting on her order. I walked to the register and was greeted with a smile from a polite young lady. I ordered the fried shrimp with shrimp fried rice, which is actually one of their combos. I believe it was $11.99/$12.99 something like that, but you get 6 shrimp or you can get 12. They have a nice amount of t of seating available if you want to dine in, I believe they have a restroom for customers available as well. The store appeared clean as well as the parking lot. The food came out quickly, cashier showed it to me before bagging ,it which was cool. Everything looked great. The shrimp were jumbo, I highly doubt you need 12 pieces unless you have a large appetite. The shrimp were lightly coated, not panko breaded. Cooked to perfection and perfectly golden brown. The rice was tasty-I did add one packet of soy sauce and that was all I needed. The food stayed hot for a very long time, and my shrimp didn't get soggy before I arrived at my destination. I will return and try something different the next time. Give this spot a try, I think they need a little bit of Yelp help....

I don't even like spicy but that salad dressing and those croutons are it. Plus, you can't forget the grilled chicken. No lie, I think after I had it the first time, I had it 2 more times that same week . A friend ordered this for me on door dash, which is how I ended up with the chipotle Caesar. Otherwise, I would have never tried it. Don't get me wrong, it has a little kick, but very tolerable and packed with flavor. The line is never too long and they move fast in there. Whenever I am near, I have been stopping in. I believe they have a rewards program but I am not really sure what the points go towards and I always feel as though I am holding up the line so I have been skipping past it, but I really need to investigate that.

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.

    This review is for the location inside the skating rink but I'm going to share it here as well…read more First, maybe it's my fault for ordering from this location inside of a skating rink because what I got was skating rink caliber food. I thought I was ordering from the other location. My bad! I can't believe she opened another location where she apparently has not improved on her business practices. I have ordered at this location and waited over an hour for my order. The food was STAMP just like Schlim said, but the wait is just ludicrous. So the couple times I went there after I just packed my patience. This evening I needed to grab some food quickly before heading to an event. I had no idea what I wanted. Open up the app and LMG popped up. I ordered for pickup on Uber Eats. When I arrived, almost an hour after I placed the order, they said they needed a "couple minutes" after she went over and finally looked at it. They do not check the app orders. They have no business dealing with anything not right in front of them. They can barely handle that! That couple minutes turned into an hour. I had to finally go up to the counter when I saw other people getting their food quickly. That got the woman behind the counters attention. Because I think she forgot again. She apologized and said they had been swamped. Is that my problem? Then she tried to offer me a drink for compensation. Um, are we talking about the same drink I ordered and paid for. At that point I just wanted to go. Got home and opened the food. As long as it took, you would have thought it was freshly cooked. Everything looked like it had been sitting around all day. When I saw the turkey wings as a special, I knew I had screwed up. It was old. The gumbo greens were disappointing. They burned it and had the nerve to serve it to me as if I wouldn't notice. I have it sitting here with the lid on, the burnt smell keeps smacking me in the face. Here's the best part. The oxtail egg rolls did not taste freshly cooked. After I started eating the second one, I found these cooked inside. It's not edible or part of the stuffing It's definitely some kind of plastic. Disgusting. The turkey wings and Mac and cheese were barely edible. Especially the mac and cheese. I have eaten before at their other location and despite the extra long wait there too, the food was fresh and tasted great. No complaints there. So I was expecting food that would make it worth the wait. This time, they had the nerve to make me wait on barely edible food. Food that absolutely belonged inside of the bowling alley it's located in. Extremely disappointing. I won't ever be going back. I don't give my hard earned money to restaurants that waste my time and serve slop containing plastic to add insult to injury.

The page only has links for you to online order from the Baltimore locations though. Once I arrive, the door is locked with a sign to call for pick up order. I call and am greeted with "Hello" and that's it. So I ask if this is Lula Mae's stating that I'd like to place an order. I was then told they only do DoorDash or uber eats orders. I stated that site isn't on the ig to place and order. I was told that if I type the business name in DoorDash or uber eats while I'm standing outside, it'll come up. I told the young gentleman to have a great day. He wasn't rude, but I won't be supporting this business. Something about this interaction didn't sit right with me. Really sucks, I've been wanting to try it out for a while, but it was further than I would drive to just pick up food and not have a seated dining experience.
