Well, this is my last review of 2025 and what a better place to conclude this year than Big Mikes…read moreCrabhouse ! We decided to stop in here as it's been a while since we last started here and the seafood is simply outstanding. The staff is very welcoming helpful and they will answer any questions that you may have and they make sure you're well taken care of. We had a pound and a half of the steam shrimp which are an extremely nice size and done to perfection and we also had the crabcake and two fried shrimp which were butterfly and the flavor is just incredible and the crabcake all crab and it was just amazing . The location is very easy. It's right next to the Hanover post office on the corner. There's plenty of parking along the street and in the back in their small parking lot and they are known for their crabs and there were people coming and left and right picking up their orders and they do a really nice business here. The inside is always very clean. Tables are clean and it's a small place but it's very relaxing and you can bring your own bottle as well. So if you're in the area and you're looking for some good crabs, shrimp and seafood give this place a try you will not be disappointed . Happy New Year !

Purchased 2 dozen large crabs May 22. Crab meat in half the crabs on big claws were dry. Meat in…read moresmall claws was hard in about a 4th of the crabs. Crabs Appearance was poor, which I'd consider dirty. Almost of of the Shells and small legs appeared chard black. See photos. Seasoning lacked flavoring; all you could taste was salt. This is the 2nd time in 10 yrs Purchased from Big Mike's, by times the crabs were light.

My wife and I enjoyed exceptional service at the bar from Jake and Claire. Both were not only…read moretalented at making drinks, but customer service was top notch as they balanced endless drink orders for the entire restaurant through the dinner rush WHILE ALSO attending to their customers at the bar, and having fun while doing so - a fine balancing act overall. You'd be hard pressed to find bartenders like these who support each other without undermining the other, these two acted as a united, professional team. Best bartenders in town, by far. Food from the kitchen was also excellent, and they quickly corrected a minor error when one of our orders didn't get communicated. The lighting at night with candles provides a relaxing ambiance combined with live music, I highly recommended this place for anyone seeking a quality experience. It's not cheap, but the experience is top tier because the employees who work there give a damn.

I'm a pharmaceutical rep. My Office suggested individual orders from this restaurant. The day…read morePryor, I tried to place an online order for pick up at 11:15 AM. The earliest it would allow was 11:45 AM. At around 3 o'clock that afternoon, I called and explained That I needed to pick up the order by 1115 the next day and could I give the order verbally on the phone. The person that answered the phone said yes. I gave him our order which was five sandwiches and salads and told him I would see him tomorrow. His reaction was tomorrow? Yes, I need to pick it up at 11:15 AM tomorrow. I asked if that would be a problem and was told no. I decided to call in the morning to confirm that they had my order and that it would be ready at 11:15. They answered the phone at 11 o'clock and after a few minutes, the hostess said that yes they had the order. I told her I would see her soon. When I got there at 11:15, the order wasn't ready and she did not have anything in her computer so I had to verbally give her the order again so she could ring it up for me. The order was not ready until approximately 11:40 AM. This was 40 minutes after I called to verify that they had the order and then it would be ready and about 20 minutes after I needed it to be ready as my lunch appointment began at 11:30 and I had a 15 minute drive. When the hostess finally gave me our food, I asked if there were utensils inside to which she replied, yes. I got to the office and there were no utensils and my salad had no dressing. Eating lettuce, cucumbers and cabbage without dressing is not very appealing. I enjoyed the chili. It was flavorful and had a good temperature. I will need to eat my salad when I get home and could get some dressing. It looks like a fun restaurant for seafood and craft beers and the bar look like it would be a great place to sit on a Friday night, but I was disappointed in the service I received for the lunch order.

So I'd just buy my usual. however, this last visit was it for me, won't be doing business there again. prices are very unclear and things you normally get change without no notice. that was my last ever purchase there, I was definitely ripped off this time. I get rising costs or whatever reason, but price tags exist for a reason.....use them. That way maybe people won't be blindsided or feel guilted at the register for things they USUALLY get but now has a doubled price they weren't aware of.

I didn't get any drinks, but my friends really enjoyed the beers here. Food was not the best. I personally enjoyed my coconut curry chicken, but my friends weren't impressed with their food, notably the sourdough bread on the sandwiches and the chicken pot pie being particularly unimpressive. If you come, stay clear of the sourdough and pot pie but the beer is good!

It was such a bad experience. I can't give them another try if the bathroom bad I imagine what the kitchen looks like. My next letter is to the handover health department simply trying to save a life my suggestion you know come here no more.!

When we walked in we discovered they're were two dinning rooms, the one in the front was a 1970ish country diner like ambience while I back was a much larger rrom with a more folksy contemporary ambience. The service was prompt and friendly. Thecoz was very good. I got the liver which was smothered in a rich flavorful beef gravy with lots of chopped onion and bacon. The mashed potatoes were made fresh , not instant, and delicious. My wife got the roasted chicken which she said was really juicy and delicious. We both got broccoli salad with was finely chopper broccoli florets with a nice tangy mayo based dressing...really tasty. The prices are very reasonable. Lots of parking. Overall a very pleasant experience.

My daughter and I were sat in the back room, while walking to our seats we walked by the bathrooms which had a horrible urine smell coming out and into the seating area. The drink/bus boy couldn't be payed a million dollars to put a smile on his face, he looked so miserable. My daughter got chocolate chip pancakes with a side of bacon. I got the Maryland crab soup with the Alaskan pollack wild wing fish & chips. The pancakes and bacon were a hit with my daughter. My soup was very delicious and so was the fish and chips. We were basically done our tiny drinks before our meals came. We were never offered refills once. We ate our meals with no drinks and we never saw our waitress again after our food was brought out. Not until about 15 minutes after we were done eating. She then asked if we wanted refills while getting our check. My daughter said to her a little late don't ya think. The food is great but the service was terrible this time and not sure we will be in a hurry to return.
