    Maryland crab cakes are my favorite meal. I never miss a chance to indulge when I travel through…read moreMaryland. I was excited to see great reviews for JB Seafood, located only a mile off US70. The shop is in a charming small historic building. We found parking behind the building. There was a steady stream of people going into the market. They sell fresh seafood to go and a selection of dine-in options. Many of the seafood prices are listed as Market Price. The crab sandwich was $23 with tax and there is an up-charge for use of credit card. The crabcake is thick with lump crabmeat. My sandwich was perfectly seasoned and prepared in authentic Maryland style. The bun with lettuce and tomato fresh were and tasty, too. The sandwich was perfection. The service was efficient. The clerk didn't waste time with pleasantries. The food takes awhile to prepare. I waited about 15 minutes after I ordered as they fresh bake the crab cakes. A tip jar sits by the cash register. The place is cute inside decorated in a harbor/seafood theme. There are 5 tables inside and 2 counters that seat 4 people each. It's the kind of place that you'd meet a friend for lunch and a beer and hang out. There are a couple of Adirondack chairs out front. A tv monitor was playing basketball reruns. The crab cakes can be purchased unbaked to go (along with a host of other seafood). There is a small full bar and coke products. They also serve ice cream, which is what many of the families were stopping for on this hot summer day. I will make JB's a regular stop on my way through Maryland. Well worth a visit.

    One of the friendliest places I have been to. Nothing fancy but THE FOOD!!! Omg. Had a…read moresoft-shell crab sandwich with the biggest soft-shell! It was delish. And they offered to sauté it instead of deep fry. Definitely gets points for that. The place is small so if you want to eat in, go early before the crowd. They also do a lot of takeout business. We went there because it was close to 70 and had great rating. Not disappointed. Easy on, easy off highway. We would have gone again on our way back from our trip, but they are closed on Mondays. There is a parking lot in the back.

    We usually go for the all-you-can-eat option here for my parents' birthdays, and everyone always…read moreleaves happy. This place is reliable. We've had plenty of bad experiences with Chinese buffet seafood making us feel sick--pretty sure I'm not the only one--but that has never happened here. The food is always freshly steamed and served hot when you order. I'm not a big fan of overly salty, heavy American-style seasoning, so I really appreciate that they can prepare it without all that. Also, my daughter doesn't eat much seafood, but they're flexible and let us order something simple like a mozzarella stick for her, which is a huge plus. Yes, there's an 18% gratuity for parties of 5 or more, but it feels fair for the quality and service. The gumbo you can order on the side is amazing, and the crab legs, mussels, clams, and shrimp are all fresh and delicious. It's $58.99 per person, which isn't cheap, but definitely worth it. Highly recommend.

    The AYCE deal is a great value and incredibly filling. Definitely the kind of place where your…read moremoney goes a long way. The service was also thorough and professional, which made the experience even better. The portions are huge, so I'd recommend coming with more people to really try a variety of dishes and make the most of it. We live about 40 minutes away, so it would probably be more of an occasional treat for us, but if you're ever in the area, it's worth checking out.
