Old school; low key, wood paneling, classic bar, pitchers of beer, brown paper covered tables with a roll of paper towels, mallets, a shaker full of Old Bay, and a bucket for the emptied shells. It doesn't get much better when you're looking for great crabs. They only serve #1s and at market price. They come out on a tray, they're coated in Old Bay and steaming hot, and come with optional melted butter and/or a vinegary crab sauce though they don't need a drop of either they're so flavorful and sweet. Our server was very kind and seemed to know all the locals, and she told us the nearby location the crabs were from. Be aware that you can't put tip on a credit card and they no longer have an ATM. If you go, you shouldn't expect fluff, frills, or fuss, but you can count on the best crabs you can find based on our experiences. We ordered 1 1/2 dozen crabs, a basket of fries, 3 pitchers of beer, two water bottles, 2 single beers - one draft and one bottle, and our total bill was $190 ($100/dozen for crabs). Also be aware that they have crabs Thursday through Sunday, and you can call to reserve the the # of crabs you want. We learned the hard way last year that they can sell out quickly based on reservations. I almost forgot to mention they bring out ice cold frosty beer mugs! Cheers!

Food: I'm a scallop lover and the amount, size and taste of the scallops were phenomenal. I paired it with the vegetable of the day and coleslaw. The veggie of the day was squash and zucchini while the coleslaw was just okay - I like my coleslaw chilled. Other members of my party had: fried shrimp basket, crab sandwich, clam strips and shrimp quesadilla. Everyone was happy and the seafood was fresh! The server was lovely and accommodating. Drinks were great. My parents who are local will definitely be back (and they're super picky on restaurants).

I ordered a dozen male mediums, for $75 - somewhat heavy, could have been steamed a little better. I love a crab, where there is little effort in the picking and the claw meat, slides out.

This is strictly take-out, only. You either order by phone or from their store's window. The owners were very friendly.

I did not mind - I just made sure I got dibs on the large ones. They have an assortment of other shellfish- scallops, mussels, clams and soft shell crabs, sauces, seasonings and utensils.

I get the rustic barn concept with all of junk they have hanging on the wall. It looks like they went to a yard sale of some old fisherman's house, and decorated. The service was absolutely terrible. Took about 30 minutes to get our drinks. We placed our order, appetizers and dinner. No exaggeration, the apps came out an hour later. While waiting for our dinner, the server arrived at our table to inform us they were out of two of our sides. Dinner finally arrived. Small portions, but was tasty. Due to starvation, we inhaled our dinners. The food was tasty, but definitely not worth the wait. Too bad the Red Eye Crab was closed for renovations.

After talking with the two guys behind the counter, they put together a great spread(with paper included). Overall I had crab, shrimp, corn, and a coke with some other goodies here and there. Crab was fresh and powdered with seasoning, shrimp was steamed amd had a sweet flavor, and the corn was corn although that may be hard to mess up anywhere. I will admit I was new to blue crabs and had one of the guys behind the counter teach me how to eat them, which thankfully they had the hammers and claws to actually eat them. Overall a great experience and will be going again! Just be sure to get an orange slushee for the road!

We also got a couple of years of corn, which was well done and tasty but a little on the small side for this time of year. Cold pitchers of Pabst for 13$.
