This place has the most amazing crab cakes I have ever tasked and the artichoke and crab dip was to die for.

Allen E. - Tysons Corner, VA
This restaurant has been under new ownership for about 4 months now. This place has made some of the most amazing improvements in food quality, service, cleanliness, and atmosphere I have ever seen in such a short time.

Tina D. Washington, DC
This isn't a crab shack and actually had a very homely vibe with a down to earth, nice servers. We're definitely returning for the crab feast.

Lauren B. - Province, RI
I really liked the casual atmosphere of the restaurant. Outdoor seating is available and there are cozy booths inside. In the dining room, there is only one TV so this is not a place to go during a big game.
