    SUPPOSED TO BE A MEDIUM CRAB, BUT LOOK LIKE A SMALL

    attention please don't spend your money here if you work gard for it.. but if you want to waste your money by all means.. but this place have went down to the ground... it is all about a dollar not good quality.. why are they selling extra small crabs for mediums... and look at you wild and crazy when you question them of why they are soooo small..

    ~~Update~~ With the winter firmly here, crab options are slight. Never fear, Don's is here! They keep an awesome crab selections and offers during these cold long months. These Large females were a hit. Oh! We also got a half dozen free with our dozen purchase! Stop in. Ps. They've even spruced up their wait time. You can call your order in, to shorten your wait.

    I stumbled across this Phenomenal Crab Business from word of mouth by hubbies coworker late last year I'm an addicted crab lover, I don't eat any business crabs lol only huge tasty males lol so my hubby brought home Dons crabs I asked where did you get these delicious crabs and when he told me, I was hooked! Crabhouse go figure why didn't I think of that all these years of living in MD that a crabhouse would always have crabs smh no matter what day I call that have big delicious Crabs. The service is impeccable! So clean too love it usually when i find a great spot I keep on a low so won't have to be last in line but I'm sharing this review because I'm so overly impressed with food, service and ambiance. Plus they have great special during the week. It's worth traveling for!!! Phenomenal job guys please continue with amazing crabs and everything else you serve and ect. Can't get enough!!

    Ordered (2) dozens of the large male crabs for $130 and enjoyed them very much! Appreciated the size and amount of meat in each crab. The seasoning wasn't too salty either! The prices weren't bad either - a dozen for $75 and two dozens for $130 (a special). They do not give you complimentary paper though which I was thrown off by. Other places definitely do. Thought they would especially because we bought a good amount of crabs from them!

    Nice size but, watery crabs. Not good at all.

    I called myself trying Don's because they were having a special. It was two dozen cold crabs for $50.00. Before I walked into the store I didn't care too much for the outside smell. Stepped inside and it did smell better. The female cashier was friendly and attentive. It didn't take long for me to get my order. I also chose to get some garlic butter. I was excited to get home to enjoy my crabs. Boy was I disappointed. The crabs were a nice size however, they were watery. I forced down one dozen but, didn't even partake in eating the rest. It was truly a waste. I don't think I will return to this spot. I love crabs and as a first impression this simply didn't do it for me. I will stick to what I know is good from now on. I can't even blame it on being cold crabs because I get cold crabs from another nearby spot and they are delicious and have never been watery. I say this place is enter at your own risk. Maybe your experience will be better than mine.

I tried to pay cash but the cashier counted only $30 so I paid on my credit card. Before I even had the opportunity to use the touch pad to put in a tip she immediately hit enter several times so it bypassed all the options for tip, text receipt etc.... I was thinking ok, not wanting a tip I guess. It seemed rather rude. While we waited I counted my cash and I did have $40 so I'm not sure what was up with her math. Food came out really fast. Our drive was not far so our food should have been hot. Instead the small racquet ball size crab cakes were cold. I don't even think they were cooked thru. I had to stick in air fryer to get them warmed up. The coleslaw which on previous visits was good lacked any flavor besides mayonnaise. My poor wife cracked down on a sharp pointy shell in her crab cake. Needless to say we were both disappointed and still hungry. I'm not sure what happened but we won't be going back anytime soon. I think we'll stick with Pappas.

We ordered two pounds of king crab leg and three pounds of crawfish, and it was not good. The quality of the seafood was not consistent. 1/8 pieces of crayfish we're excellent, but the rest were either freezer burned or super overcooked and mushy. We asked for the crafty cajun spice with the spice level at the hottest, which is fire and it was nowhere near spicy at all. It was $110 for 2 lbs of king crab legs which is a deal but the quality was just okay. Not amazing or packed with meat and a bit flimsy. Tips: 1. They do not have a liquor license at the location so I recommend BYOB! Pick up whatever you want to drink for your meal at the total wine, which is right around the corner and bring it with you! 2. Order your fried sides at the end e.g french fries. The service here is really great, and they'll bring out the fries really quickly once they're ready

Menu is online so we called ahead of time to place our orders - we both got 1 crab cake which comes with two sides (mac n cheese, potato salad, french fries, etc). Unassuming place - I knew nothing about the establishment so was a bit surprised to see it mostly as a takeout place (restaurant across the street). Fairly popular as there were people ahead and after me in line. Was a bit disappointed at first that the amount of food seemed little! The sides at least could have been more generous (tip: they are more generous with the fries). However, paired with a salad I tossed at home and slowly savoring helped me realize that the amount of food is decent. For sides, potato salad and macaroni salad were also very good; the Mac n cheese not so much so. The crab cake was delicious though - every bite was full of flavor with lots of crab meat. Definitely satisfied my crab cake craving!

I attended a wedding celebration there on Thursday and am happy to report I was wrong. The staff was professional and welcoming. It was pretty chaotic with people randomly showing up. They took it all in stride. We were offered water and drinks immediately as we waited for the bride and groom. While we had a "set" menu, every option sounded delicious. Finally the happy couple joined us and we could order for real! I doubled down ordering both hot crab dip and crab cakes. Hot rolls. Yes and they were fantastic. The dip was good. Our servers brought out to go containers almost immediately. It wasn't possible to eat all the food available. I ordered a blue margarita. Strong and yummy. Tasted the crab cake which was good as well. The broccoli seemed an afterthought. Cooked well but NO SEASONING! Who does that? All in all it was a wonderful celebration with family and friends. I'll be back to finish exploring the menus!

Inexpensive street parking as well as convenient garage parking near. Upon entry SUPER CROWDED. College students and young adults everywhere.
