Hands down best crab in Frederick! I order crabs at this place weekly. If anyone is looking for the best you definitely have to try. The customer service is always the greatest. Thanks again Jeff!!! read more

Small place. Fishy smell. Black spotted crabs. They were suppose to be XL and not at all. Maybe size is based on the size of the crabs versus a universal measurement of XL= 10"claw to claw. IDK, what i do know is these were not XL and they had plenty of black spots and marks on them. Not bruising or fights, old. Seasoning was good, taste was OK. The look wasn't right and i can't go back. Service was fast and helpful. I was the only one there... that's always a bad sign. Le sigh. read more

Exceptional fried oysters and fried shrimp. Very good coleslaw (not too sweet and very fresh), fries, and sweet potato fries as well! Arrived at 6:10 on a Sunday and was well taken care of despite it being near closing time. Picnic table outside for dining in. Extremely friendly owner who checked in on us several times. Recommended. read more

The soft crab sandwich is a 5-star choice, however, the extra large crabs we had for a dozen came with 3 very light weight crabs which weren't that good. read more

The worst crabs I've ever had! Extremely overpriced crabs. Purchased 1 bushel of large crabs for $500! Needed for a family event but our usual seafood store was closed due to the Fair being in town. Almost every crab was light, in fact several had no meat at all. Disappointed is an understatement. I wouldn't have even given 1 star, but it's required for review. read more

Never disappoints! Crabs are great! Wish I could have them more often but then they would not be special anymore. read more

Westpointe Crab House - Yummy Greatness! - Seafood Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

The large size crabs I got this weekend were meaty and generously spiced. Nicely packed and no missing legs! Very pleased!

First time, but I love this place. My daughter came to visit. We both love crabs. We grew up in Maryland so we know a good crab. These were the biggest heaviest crabs we have ever had. Cooked to perfection and tasted awesome. I think I was dealing with the owner on the phone making my order.One of the nicest people I have ever met I think I was dealing with the owner on the phone making my order. One of the nicest people I ever met. It is a little farther then what we are used to but I will go here every time from now on. For my crabs, I suggest everyone give them a try. read more

Not sure on the actual steamed crabs, a definite no for the jumbo lump crab meat. I purchased a pound of jumbo lump for Maryland Style crab cakes only to get the stuff home and find out it is imported from Alabama. WTF? We live in Maryland, you sell steamed crabs yet you import Alabama crab meat, not cool bruh. Now I must question, are you using Maryland Chesapeake blue crabs or are you importing those as well? read more

Westpointe is under new ownership and it's TERRIBLE!! We spent $170 on 1 1/2 "extra LG crabs" today. They were NOT extra LG crabs, had absolutely NO FLAVOR, barely any old bay seasoning, actually close to none. I called to explain our experience being the worse in years with them. The manager said he understood my frustration & my complaint was not the first today, but was unable to refund our money, which was the right thing to do with an unhappy customer. Instead, he offered us a dz "REALLY GOOD" crabs!!! Unbelievable!!! I said we should have received "REALLY good crabs" to begin with!! I declined and promised to include that my review. So incredibly DISAPPOINTING!!! Never again, they have lost us as a customer. Shame on you Westpointe!!! read more

I've ordered the steamed crabs here a few times and had no issues. I found them to be heavier and more flavorful than I've had at other local seafood spots. If you're set on a specific size, I highly recommend calling ahead to ask what's available since it can vary daily no matter where you order from. I haven't purchased anything else from Westpointe but again, never been disappointed. read more

Westpointe Crab House - Steamed blue crabs - Seafood Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I came here on Sunday and was immediately greeted. The service was very nice and friendly. I asked what is the difference between the medium and large crab and they brought out one of each so I can compare. They were more than happy to answer my questions and when I ordered a dozen mediums they said my order will be out in about 10-15 mins. The crabs itself was sweet and delicious, the seasoning was on point. We love to dip the crab meat in salt and pepper w a squeeze of lime juice but the crab was so well cooked and seasoned I didn't feel the need for any sauce. The crabs was very fresh, did not find a dead one in my bag. 100% recommend getting the steamed crabs from here! read more

We have been picking up steamed crabs at West Pointe Crab House for many years and have always been impressed with the quality, size and impressive tastiness of their crabs. Just for the fun of it I looked up what was the largest blue crab ever caught on the Chesapeake Bay and it said 10. 2 inches, point to point of the shell. The last time we got our "six extra large crabs" home, I measured them from point to point and consistently they measured 8.5 inches! We found that the two of us could not finish them all at one sitting. Dave and Rose Mclean Posted, November, 2022 read more

Great first experience with Westpointe Crab House! I ordered 2 dozen medium (they were out of large) and they didn't disappoint. I think there were actually a few large ones in there. Very meaty and flavorful. I drove 45 minutes to get them and would do it again without thinking twice. Great service too; I ordered ahead of time and they were ready on time - no waiting! read more

This place is freaking unbelievable!! I give it 7 stars !! First of all the customer service is fantastic. Everyone there is very friendly and outgoing. It had a very down home feel. Now to the crabs. The prices are very reasonable and the quantity and quality of the crabs are over the top. They are really large and heavy. I hate when you get a bushel of " large " jimmies and the top of the box are large and the rest are barely mediums. This is not the case at West Pointe. They started large and stayed large, in fact I swear they got bigger as we went through each of the 2 bushels I ordered ! They use their own house made seasoning which is awesome. Its definitely old bay based with their own added spices ( spicy goodness) . Not much else to say but...run don't walk to West Pointe Crab House. Can't wait to try the shrimp they looked amazing. read more

I picked up a couple of dozen steamed crabs at West Pointe for the 1st time here on vacation. They were nice & heavy, besides being hot. The crabs were DELICIOUS! This time I wanted to try a different place. They are a carryout so you have to take the food home. The crabs were the BEST we've ever had - even better than Ocean City. Everyone raved about them. The crabs were all very meaty and seasoned perfectly. Steamed crabs are not cheap, no matter what restaurant or carry out you go to, but West Pointe had the best price around that I could find... read more

We called late in the morning on Sunday everywhere looking for jumbo crabs. West Point had them.My wife ordered them and asked if they would be full.They told her they would be. About 20 minutes later someone called us back and explained they would not steam up as heavy as West Point had expected. Although we drove almost an hour that kind of customer service will keep us coming back! Recommend them without reservation!!! read more

Had some Extra Large Crabs tonight. Fat, heavy, awesome crabs & great price! I have been going to Westpointe Crab House for several years. Always good. read more

West Point Crab House is the Best place in town to get crabs!! They are always consistent- crabs are full, spiced right! I am sooooo happy Frederick finally has a place to get good crabs!!! read more

Would suggest this business get a bell for the counter. Came in today needing a few pounds of lump crab meat for Mother's Day tomorrow and after not being helped for 5-7 minutes decided to leave. I could hear people in the back and I said hello to no luck. Wanted to support local but ended up having to go to Wegmens. Won't write this place off yet but will have to wait until another time to give them business. read more

Due to surgery, there is very little I can eat in terms of solid food. But I can eat Cream of Crab soup and I came here specifically for that. This is a carry out place, and the Cream of Crab soup was frozen. That's OK because I live 60 miles away. When I decided to have it and thaw it out, it was almost ALL CRAB. I mean, where's the "Cream of..." I did add some milk and would recommend light cream. Nicely seasoned, too. Definitely will stop in for more every time I pass by this area. read more

Ordered half a dozen of crabs, and a soft shell crab sandwich. The crabs were a decent size (despite having ordered small), and seemed pretty fresh. I just didn't prefer the seasoning they put on it, since the crabs were salty enough to my tasting anyway. I was surprised to see that the soft shell crab was steamed instead of fried, but it was a different taste.. maybe even more preferable. Only downside was that it was served on wonderbread. lol. Overall decent, but wouldn't be back. read more

The one star which now that I think about it should actually should be NO STARs for their lack of professionalism and customer service. For starters I bought close to $200 worth of food, so you would figure since I bought so much food they would offer to help me bring live crabs to my car, right? NOPE Instead I witnessed the Caucasian lady who was assisted before me who bought a mere $50 worth of COOKED crabs get offered assistance and even was made sure she was ok. When it came to me I was told I should be alright ( even after I ASKED FOR SOMEONE TO HELP ME) to take it to my car with NO assistance and while I was being serviced was even offered some not so great looks while I was there that I am pretty sure was not apart of my $200 order. So fair warning to future minority patrons the food was decent but not worth that type of treatment. Sidenote: I went to a far better crab place a week later in Southern Maryland (Crab knockers) and ordered the same amount at a better price and was not offered to have the live crabs taken to my car without having to ask. read more

I have been coming to West Pointe for years and they have the best crabs in my opinion in Frederick, Maryland. The crabs are heavy and cooked just right...never watery or too soft. They are fresh and larger than the average sizes at other crab restaurants in the area. Also, try the mac and/or potato salads which are homemade and delicious. Customer service was excellent too!! read more

I picked up a few dozen steamed crabs at West Pointe for the 1st time a few days ago. They were nice & heavy, besides being hot. The crabs were DELICIOUS! I always get crabs for my daughter's birthday. This time I wanted to try someplace other than the local crab truck. After seeing reviews, I decided to try them. They are a carryout so you have to take the food home. The crabs were the BEST we've ever had - even better than Ocean City. Everyone raved about them. The crabs were all very meaty and seasoned perfectly. Steamed crabs are not cheap, no matter what restaurant or carry out you go to, but West Pointe had the best price around that I could find. I will definitely go back for more crabs. read more

I ordered a soft shell crab sandwich here and it was mostly inedible. It was not fried. Might have been steamed but it was chewy and most of it was too tough to chew and swallow. It came with chips and 2 slices of pickle on white bread with 1 packet of tartar sauce. Waste of money. The pickle was the best part. read more

We picked up a half bushel of small, medium and larges on Sunday afternoon. They were ready on arrival and the staff was super friendly! The crabs were great! Not overcooked, nice and sweet and a good variety of sizes. A lot of them were packed full of meat too. We will definitely be back! read more

I did not enjoy the crabs here at all. I ordered a 1/2 bushel of mixed crabs. This should have included small, medium, and large. My order was only small, medium and 1 large. The crabs seemed to be over cooked or old. They were not fresh at all. Very disappointed for spending $115 for old crabs. read more

BEST place to get fresh steamed crab! They have size options from small to jumbo. Call ahead early for availability. The jumbo sell out quick. They also sell bushels which you order ahead of time. Great for parties! read more

Spectacular! If you are carrying out crabs steamed or want to steam them yourself this is by far the best place in Frederick or anywhere I've tried for that matter. We picked up a bushel of live mixed yesterday and they did not disappoint. I counted roughly 85-90 in the bushel and a grand total of 1 did not make it to the steamer. They of course varied in size but almost each and everyone was packed. Their quality has not changed in the 7 or so years we've been purchasing crabs from them and I will continue to recommend West Pointe to everyone. Best kept secret in Frederick! read more

Steamed crabs are well prepared. They are not over cooked and always ready at the scheduled pick-up time. Even assortment of sizes in 1/2 bushel. Well seasoned as a Maryland crab should be. Very much enjoy every time! read more

Crabs have been good all year except last time I got them September 16 weekend ordered a bushel of a large medium mixed 9O% of crabs were the same size of a beer can somewhere even smaller which I believe is illegal like I said earlier crabs were good the previous four times not sure what happened this time around but one thing I can say the lady was very polite asked me to bring them back and she would make them all right but who feels like driving back outthere when you have friends over entertaining and a few hours worth of beer drinking involved.for what the price was I don't think I'll be trying them again anytime soon just not sure what happen with Great crabs all year read more

The....Best.....Crabs......Ever! Could not believe my good luck at calling West Point Crab House on a holiday weekend at the last minute and being able to order 3 dozen large crabs that were ready for pick up in just a few hours! (I think I actually got the last 3 dozen large they had. By the time I arrived 2.5 hours later they were sold out!) Even though they were slamming busy, the lady who answered the phone and took my order was extremely patient, friendly and helpful. My order was ready when she said it would be, and the crabs were steaming hot when I picked them up. My family loved them! They were seasoned perfectly and very meaty. Absolutely delicious! I am so delighted with the wonderful, friendly courteous service and delicious steamed crabs. As a first time customer, I won't hesitate to order again! Highly recommend West Point Crab House!! They made our Memorial Day weekend perfect! **This is a seafood carryout restaurant only, not a sit down restaurant. www.westpointecrabhouse.com read more
