For example I wasn't greeted when I entered hut instead I had a staff element sitting on her phone at a table. Another staff member at the bar eating. No one greeted me or sat me. Finally I asked if it's okay to sit at the bar to the lady eating there. It took forever for my food to come and my waiter was also the bartender and waiting on the guest at the tables. It took so long to even get my check! Also I ordered my broil but they never put it so by the time I was ready to go I just had them scratch it off my order smh. I really wanted my broil!!!

We hade the roughy stuffed with crabmeat. It was salty, but still delicious! Sides of baked potato and pickled beets! Our other entree was crab cakes. Lots of lump crab. Good flavor. We didn't have time for dessert. An assortment of beers on tap and by the bottle. Friendly and attentive service from Stephanie. Nice atmosphere. Traditional wood paneling. Ample street parking

Everyone got their drinks except for me - I had to ask for it (unsweet tea) multiple times before she finally brought it. We planted our order and the waitress brought out everyone's food except for mine; by the time I finally got my food everyone was almost done eating their meals. The crab cakes were good, but cold when it was finally brought out to me. We ordered an appetizer that was brought out after we were all done eating. The server kept saying she wasn't supposed to be working and made us feel like she didn't want to be there. The restaurant had a nice vibe, but the lack of service really was off-putting. I don't think I would go here again, plenty of other places that care about their costumers.

While visiting Baltimore, we were on the hunt for some good crabs. After seeing Kahler's Crab House…read moreall over TikTok, we decided to give it a try. From the outside, it looks like a small shack--or more like a house--and the inside carries that same no-frills, classic crab house vibe. Simple tables, open space--exactly what you expect from a traditional spot. It was completely empty when we arrived just after 12 PM, but honestly, that worked in our favor because we were starving. We started with a few appetizers:    *   The cream of crab soup wasn't what I expected, especially for Baltimore, where I've had much better.    *   The crab deviled eggs were underwhelming--very little crab and mostly tasted like regular deviled eggs.    *   The honey Old Bay wings were actually really good.    *   The hush puppies were just okay. Now, the main event--the crabs. We ordered a dozen medium males, and they did not disappoint. They were flavorful, meaty, and exactly what we came for. I did get one bad crab, but our server handled it immediately and replaced it with a fresh, hot one. She also stayed on top of our drinks the entire time, which I appreciated. A few things to note: they don't serve alcohol, but it's BYOB (wine only). Coolers are allowed, and they'll provide ice, which is a nice touch. Overall, I'd definitely come back--but strictly for the crabs. Next time, I'm saving my appetite (and my wallet) for the main attraction.

I visited Kahler's a year ago and really enjoyed it. Last year's visit was during the week day and…read moreit wasn't extremely busy. Today we had reservations for 11 @3 on a Sunday. It was extremely crowded. Reservations are definitely recommended. Our table was ready on time. On this particular visit I was disappointed by a few things. Let's start with what went right. Pros- 1.Our reserved table was ready. 2. Crabs were fat and delicious. 3. Three people ordered the shrimp platter with 3 variations of shrimp and loved it. 4. They have a sink within the restaurant if you just want to wash your hands. 5. A screened in outdoor eating area. Cons 1. It took 20-30 minutes to get apps. When the cream of crab and fries were received they were cold and the waitress had to microwave the soup again. 2. I ordered 1lb of shrimp and onions w/ 2 ears of corn for my app and never received them. The crabs came out an hour later with my corn. The waitress said the shrimp were coming up and she just needed to get them. I cancelled them because I wanted them before the crabs not over an hour later. So until the crabs came I and my daughter watched everyone eating but us. 3. The bathroom had no paper towels and at 1 point no toilet paper. The trash can was overrun and needed to be emptied. There is only 1 stall for women and men. 4. A long wait to get food and even pay for your bill. 5. The waitress had to reminded that mozzarella sticks had been ordered as an appetizer. They came after the crabs and her entree. I'm not sure but I feel they may have been short on staff, but if that's the case they need to compensate the customer in some way and apologize and acknowledge that they're short tonight. I bought my family here to celebrate a birthday and because of the extreme wait they said this was their first and last time coming here. SN: Someone should be checking the bathrooms every hour to make sure they are stocked with the necessary supplies, trash emptied, and clean.

I have been hearing so much about LP Steamers recently and I am so glad I finally got to try it…read morethis weekend. The crabs were meaty and delicious, with even the legs having meat in them. That is always my favorite part! We sat inside and upstairs, and it felt like the perfect little table escape. It wasn't too loud and food was delivered so quickly. Service was great! The prices are very reasonable for a seafood house, especially the hearty seafood platter. The lobster tail on that was amazing. My only request would be for them to actually say what kind of oysters they have, instead of saying "local oysters." They were still delicious and the perfect way to start our meal. Additionally, for being a seafood house, it was fairly clean. You are encompassed in seafood from the moment you walk in, in the best way possible. It is truly a meal you won't regret!

My fault for not ordering crabs…read more Service was friendly and helpful. Venue itself has 3 floors and a rooftop. There is a bar on the 3rd floor so I'm not sure if you can skip the waiting. We ordered oysters from Virginia (both options for local and premium) and a soft shell crab sandwich. Our food was pretty average. Wanted to like this place more.

Clean booths with plenty of action bar was fun and tables started to fill. I started with some oysters which tasted fresh but not a lot of flavor going on which was disappointing. The boil came out and compared to other spots this just seems like they don't sit it in the sauce enough to soak up the flavors poured in. All food was fresh but I was really looking for that deep flavor aspect. The portion sizes are amazing though and everything was so good. The lemonade both strawberry and regular hit! Our server Draven was spot on with the service managing us and a bunch of other tables he really made the experience comfortable. I love that they have the addition of the sink outside the bathroom so after eating up I can just clean up real fast (don't forget the lemons) Bathroom rating: women's 5/5 men's 2/5

One of the best meals we had in Baltimore…read more We ordered the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, the Maryland Crab Soup, and the Seafood Hot Combo. The crab cake absolutely lived up to its reputation--packed with large, sweet pieces of crab meat and very little filler. It was fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly light. I finally understood why Maryland is so proud of its crab cakes. The Maryland Crab Soup was hearty and comforting, with plenty of vegetables and crab flavor. The Seafood Combo was generous and perfect for sharing after a long day of exploring the city. The restaurant was busy but well organized, and the staff were friendly and efficient. The atmosphere felt lively without being overwhelming. After lunch, we took a short walk to Fells Point and spent the afternoon exploring the neighborhood, which made it a perfect Baltimore experience. If you're visiting Baltimore for the first time and want to try an authentic Maryland crab cake, this is definitely a place worth visiting.

Nice location with plenty of parking and it was packed, I was not expecting so much traffic inside but this place was jumping.

Looking forward to coming back and actually trying the crabs cause the way the place was packed it's a must. Bathroom rating:5/5

After being seated, we waited quite a while before anyone came to our table. It was very loud in the restaurant. Thankfully, Marie eventually helped us, and she was very personable, attentive, and kind throughout the meal. We specifically came for jumbo crabs, so I was disappointed when we were told they only had mediums available. Marie assured us they had been very good despite the size, so we ordered a dozen. After another wait, she returned to tell us they only had smalls left. The crabs we received were tiny -- barely legal size, if even -- and almost completely empty. There was practically no meat in them at all. The manager came over, took seven of the crabs I had already opened back to the kitchen without explaining what she was doing or appoligizing, and later brought out seven replacement crabs that were still very small, though slightly better. What made the experience even worse was being charged $65 for crabs that honestly felt worth a fraction of that price. The quality was unacceptable, and the manager handled the situation poorly with no communication at all. Marie was the only bright spot in the entire experience. Sadly, after this experience, we will not be returning anytime soon.
