    i bought crabs and agot a jumbo but no meat in really never again dons nd conrad's are pretty good they are meaty the taste is amazing the hospistaly was great i love both don is better then both

    LARGE FEMALES?? Really...
    Tamara S.

    First time ordering from Pete's, we ordered 2 1/2 dozen LARGE females for $75. What we got was TOTALLY different! Upon picking them up we inspected them, as usual, before leaving and asked if they were actually LARGES. "6 inches" he said. Not sure how he said that with a straight face. Context: If these little ones were sold as small or even mediums I would find no fault. However, if you charge me for something that you didn't deliver, as a proud, cradle Marylander, I take issue. Some of these babies should have been thrown back! Don't rob me! As children growing up in Maryland we are taught the following: Large - Hard crab measures 5 1/2 to 6 inches in size. Medium - Hard crab measures 5 to 5 1/2 inches in size. Small - Hard crab measures 4 1/2 to 5 inches in size, usually females. We know our crabs, we are connoisseurs . We are taught that the Females, #3, also known as "Sook" can range up to 6 inches. They are typically sweet and usually have egg roe inside the crab. Sooks usually have denser meat. Were they dense? Yes. Were they well seasoned? Yes. Did we feel a bit guilty for eating babies? Yes and No. Will I go back? NO. Three words... Truth in advertising.

    Just moved into the Parkville area and kept passing this place, it looks like your typical crab spot. Walked in a few days ago to check out prices and they were well priced. Finally ordered a half dozen for myself today. Let me say they are delicious, they had a ton of yellow "mustard" in them, and they were perfectly steamed. I will definitely be back.

    Not too bad. Nothing to write home about. Ordered a half dozen of crabs and was told they would be ready in 10 mins. They were reheated.

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.

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!

    The 2 stars is for everything except the crabcake that was about 3. . …read more Came in last Saturday. It was my first time. I was craving crabcakes (I live near Koco's but was trying something new) and these are Oprah's favorite right? There were a bunch of kids working. The prices were reasonable. I ordered a crabcake platter (what I came for) with fries and broccoli, a single piece of fried flounder, a HALF pint of cream of crab, and the special (3.95) which was shrimp tacos. They don't give refunds which bothers me because how do you correct issues? The cashier only heard pint and not the half. I wasn't doing math in my head and I didn't receive an itemized receipt so I didn't realize until I looked at the chef's ticket on my bag. I saw what I thought was an extra soup. I mentioned it and they basically said they couldn't do anything because no refunds -_- So yea have the 16 yo taking your order read it back to you before paying to avoid this totally easily fixable situation. The crabcake was good. Not the best or worse I've ever had. The flounder was fine too, seasoned appropriately. The shrimp in the taco was small-medium and a little fishy, probably why it was the special in the first place. The sauce was actually decent but there was literally 3 pieces of cabbage in each one. The tortilla was regular soft taco size but there was so little ingredients it felt too big. Use more cabbage/slaw, larger shrimp, a smaller tortilla, or all three and the problem would be solved. The soup was literally old bay flavored cream. It was almost inedible because of how salty it was. I saw more crab atop the deviled eggs in the shop than I received in my entire $10+ pint of cream of crab soup. I will NEVER purchase that again. Might go back for a crabcake and fish but I wont be getting shrimp or soup ever again.

Geresbeck's has the best sales in town when it comes to seafood. The shrimp is always cheap & they steam on site. On a recent visit while waiting for my shrimp to be steamed, I took a walk around the market to see what else I could buy. Geresbeck's has a great speciality ice cream section. They had my favorite Taharka Brother's honey graham ice cream and some other tasty choices. I ended up in the bakery department and saw SO MANY delicious looking baked goods from a peanut butter Boston crème cake to banana pudding parfaits to mini cheesecakes. Their doughnuts are huge and made with the love of someone that loves to bake. I took quite a bit of photos showcasing their selections. As I walked through the store, I started to get a little hungry for a snack. I came back around to the deli/hot foods department and saw a mountain of tasty looking western fries. Now, western fries are extremely popular in Baltimore and the surrounding counties. I've had my share of western fries from the center of the city, to Brass Hen in Eastpoint mall, to even Royal Farms. All were delicious, BUT THESE FRIES WERE ABSOLUTE LOVE AT FIRST BITE!!! They were crunchy like a piece of fried chicken and tender inside like a fluffy baked potato. Omg, I can taste them right now. They were so, so amazingly yummy. If you love potatoes, or any variation of fries, you'd LOVE these. I actually may go back very soon for a fix. I didn't need salt, pepper, ketchup, NOTHING. Now, for my only gripe about Geresbeck's is that I wouldn't necessarily buy goods outside of the seafood, bakery or specialty items. I found that other items in the store, unless on sale, are higher priced than other grocery stores. But they have to counterbalance that with the affordable seafood prices, right? Anyways, if you're in the area, stop by and pick you up some delicious doughnuts and western fries while you're there. Geresbeck's is a piece of nostalgia that will make you feel like you were back in a time when everything was simpler and easy. They will always be solid with me.
