Super thankful for Stevensville Crab Shack for coming in clutch with 2 bushels of crabs. My job books a nearby hotel/restaurant for a 3 day retreat. At this particular place they quoted us 1,000 dollars for ONE bushel of crabs! That wasn't sliding with us and as a nonprofit every penny spent needs to have a purpose. We found Stevenville via Google search, they gave us an amazing price and even threw in 2 free butters during pick up. I just want to call out how friendly everyone was, from the staff to the amazing two little girls that were there. I can tell the owners don't just care about what they're selling but they truly care about every aspect of their business. We drove one hour to pick up the crabs and when we arrived back the crabs were still hot and our group of 28 people said they were the best crabs they've had. I'm looking forward to coming back to try the other foods they other, the cold salads looked so good. Thank you, Stevensville!! Keep killing it! read more

This is really a shack and you eat outside at picnic tables with no view of anything . My husband loves soft shell crab so we stopped for lunch. He enjoyed it and it was huge. I got the crab cake- too much bay seasoning for my taste but I understand this is natural in this area. My crab cake had a lot of lump crabmeat and that's good on a potato roll with 1 slice of tomato , one small piece lettuce and just enough mayo for the center of the roll- for $17.99 I expect more generous add ONS here. Not my style! Oh and bathroom is an outhouse- nope, not for me! read more

Maryland is known for their crabs and a fried soft shell crab sandwich is one of the ways to enjoy them. The crab is fried and you eat the entire crab on a roll. The meat is sweet and juicy! Stevensville is a great shack with outdoor seating and one our favorite places to visit after a fun round of golf. Highly recommend! read more

This is the best ever crab shack! I have never had better crab in my life. And the shrimps are well worth the work! AND they have fountain birch beer!! We went in 2007 and have been returning ever since. Go out of your way to eat here. read more

Service was good. Sides were excellent and crabcakes were tasty!! Enjoyed eating outside

This place isn't cute and definitely smells like a fish market, but I'm not sure if that has to be fixed. Our food was absolutely delightful. Piping hot and good flavor. It would be nice if there was covered outdoor seating since we came on a rainy day. Staff were quite friendly too! read more

Not sure we understand the hype here. The people were very nice but the crab cakes were very underwhelming. If you're a fan of filler, this might be the place for you. We really wanted to like this place but unfortunately I don't think we will return. read more

As a group from out of state, we wanted to make sure we got crab before our trip ended. This place let us order a bunch of crabs (and wings for the non-seafood eaters) day-of, which was nice. We made sure to order pretty early so they would have them ready by around 6pm. We ordered to go because the place is very small and we had to many people. The food travelled well back to where we were staying and we had fun cracking them open to get to the meat. read more

Excellent!! Great price and great size. These crabs were fresh and seasoned perfectly. Fast in and out with crabs ready on time. Any time I am over by Kent Island I will pick up. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Clean space and there is outdoor area if you want to 'dine in' but no dine in, outside and on a gorgeous day, this lot will fill fast. read more

Awesome experience here on a family vacation. We ordered a dozen large crabs with seasoning and sat outside on the picnic benches taking them apart and hitting them with mallets. We will definitely come back again. The friend shrimp and chicken strips were also good. read more

One of if not the best crab cake I've ever had! This is a great place to stop and get good seafood at a reasonable price and you can either carry out or sit outside on the picnic tables. I loved it. Janeese was so nice too. Will be back! read more

I like to support our local businesses. However, Every time I've ordered steamed crab they are always dried out! Today we ordered two types of fried fish and both were dried out. Who's ever doing the cooking is over steaming the crabs and over frying the fish. The potato salad is always good though. Service is ok the ambience is eh. read more

If you are heading back to DC from Ocean City, there is place to get crab or sandwiches before the Bay Bridge. Hubby liked the breaded crab. The size was decent. He also liked the vegetable soup with crab. The french fry portion was tiny. There is limited parking but it wasn't busy on a Monday afternoon. The bathroom was beyond gross. I went inside & left. This was the condition when it wasn't busy or crowded. There were several employees around. Maybe you have to wait for someone to fix a sink but a bathroom can always be clean. Bonus points for having birch beer on the soda fountain. read more

No frills, just great food! We ordered carryout. Everything was excellent! We ordered crabs, rockfish platter, hush puppies and crab fried pickles. I had the rockfish platter. It was cooked to perfection and at $12.99 it was reasonably priced. There's plenty of food to satisfy anybody's appetite! Whether you are passing through or stopping in I recommend the Stevensville Crab Shack for great Eastern shore seafood! read more

Great people. Amaze-balls hush puppies - truly bigger than a gold ball round crunchy goodness. Potato salad was more than solid - good flavor from mustard and enough egg to count. Coconut shrimp is EXCELLENT with prevalent coconut shreds - served with orange marmalade to dip In. Solid fries, piping hot. Good veggie crab soup. We got a half dozen medium crabs which was plenty for the two of us. Only sad thing was three of our crabs was missing one or both of its claws. The SO reported the crab wrap to be decent, but not delicious mentioning it needed a mayo based flavor like an aioli or rémoulade. Good prices, great seasoning. A very cute place to stop overlooking a non-commercial airport. Yes, you can get a bottled or canned beer, seltzer or cocktail from their cooler. read more

Stopped by today for lunch. Got the seafood combo and it was on point. Delicious fish with traditional cucumber salad like my mom use to make growing up. Staff was friendly and brought it out to me when it was ready. An island staple with great food at a reasonable price. Keep up the great work! read more

Bottom Line: Excellent seafood in a no-frills environment. My husband and I have been driving past the Stevensville Crab Shack for quite awhile and we recently tried it for the first time. I'm sorry we waited so long to enjoy a meal from this seasonal and unassuming store front because it was delicious! I had some of the best coconut shrimp I have ever had and my husband had a crab cake sandwhich. He eats lots of crab cakes and gave it two thumbs up. We also really enjoyed their fries and I appreciated that they had a Coca-cola fountain soda since I was craving a diet Coke. Stevensille Crab Shack consists of s small storefront and a side yard with picnic tables. We visited in mid-August and given COVID-19 only one party was going into the small interior at a time to order. Then the employees bring out the food which you can either take to go or enjoy at the picnic tables. Even during usual times there is not any indoor seating. I'm glad that when we visited the employees were all wearing masks. I've heard a lot of people stop by Stevensville Crab Shack for steamed crabs but both my father and sister are commercial crabbers so we didn't try the crabs but I did get the sense the season with JO which I actually prefer to Old Bay. read more

We just finished fishing with Prime Time Charters and let's just say the fish was ducking us hard today. We got away with about 8; half being rock fish but it was nice just being out on the water. Now as we heading back to get on the road my husband spots a sign that says Crabcake Sandwich $15 bucks; yup we bucked a U and we were both so glad we did. Babyyyyyyy the crab cake was crabbing and absolutely no filler. The bun was nice and soft with the right ratio of lettuce, tomato, and tater sauce. I had hot sauce in my purse (judge ya mammy) and they provided some Ketchup packets. Must husband opted for the chips with his meal and anytime I see fresh hand cut fries on the menu, that's what I go for. The fries were def hand cut, fresh, and most importantly salted well. We both agree they get a 5/5 for the crabby crab cake and the young lady at the restaurant was pleasant as well. Don't let the inside and outside fool you, if you spot the sign gone head a buck a U. They have nice outdoor seating as well!! read more

Quick stop for food on my trip back to PA. When I pulled up I was uncertain because it's literally a shack with no indoor dining. There are picnic benches outside. Surprisingly, my halibut fish sandwich and fries were tasty . Service was friendly and welcoming and it wasn't overpriced. Will definitely be stopping by again when in the area. read more

My favorite spot to get soft shell crabs and a dozen female crabs. It's a no frills place that is all about the food. They only have outdoor seating with a restroom on premise. Keep that in mind especially if the weather isn't too pleasant. Love the soft shell crab sandwich here. Prices are reasonable. The deep fried soft shells are very crunchy and the crab itself is very fresh. The dozen female crabs run about $35 and they were very fresh as well. The main difference being that female crabs are smaller with the eggs but the meat is more sweeter. The sweetness is what draws me to the female crab. Well maybe not just female crabs too, haha. Anyway, this place is a great spot to grab a few soft shells and a dozen old bays on a few sunny day. read more

I don't want to hate on a business but we live an hour away and make the trip 3-4x a summer to come get crabs go to one of the many waterfront parks and eat crabs. So disappointed, we asked for XL crabs and got tiny crabs that weren't fresh. The thing with crabs is that telling their freshness is fairly easy because of the meats texture, you can also open the crab and see the color of the guts to know how fresh it was prior to steaming or worse yet when they reheat crabs that have already been steamed. Businesses change hands all the time, they fail miserably when the new ownership takes a winning formula and mucks around with it. This business is fairly simple steam good high quality crabs and people will pay for it. The previous owners honestly weren't the nicest but we went back because they had the best crabs. I won't say I'll never be back, we are going to look for another place. Really disappointing. read more

This has become our go to crab spot! The crabs are always fresh and delicious. Recently, we started dabbling into their other sides and food options.

This place is an absolute scam. Ordered 1 pound of sautéed scallops to go. When I got home and opened the bag and container, there was less than half a pound, and dry and overcooked. I get that some of the weight reduces upon cooking, but it simply is not worth $30 for 0.28 lbs of scallops. Would not recommend this place. read more
