Customer Reviews
We have eaten in this restaurant several times and the crab cakes and other food items are fantastic. Today is the day before the superbowl. Wanted to get steamed crabs and couldn’t find anyone with any crabs. However, I called this restaurant and they had crabs. I was totally shocked and went to order. Since I haven’t had their steamed crabs, only ordered 1/2 dozen of extra large. I was told the crabs are heavy. Now I usually steam my own crabs but decided I needed a break and enjoy what I brought. Well the crabs were done under 15 minutes and it seemed odd to me. Got home, the crabs were very light, dry and stringy. Reheated and not freshly steamed. I will never go back to get their crabs. For this if I could give them a zero I would but I have to give a one to let all know.
Been having these crabs at my mother in-laws over the years, carryout. I like the seasoning and like any time you have crabs ya never know what you are going to get depending if early season Maryland or late or from down south somewhere. She got mediums and smalls for 6 of us. Not sure if they had anything larger but she was treating.... Some were very heavy and some were very light.... The shrimp were not deveined. Dont quite understand that? But overall happy with the crabs from here.
Captain. Bobs has been a main part of our family celebration for a couple of decades now. We stopped here and got jumbo crabs, corn on the cob, and fried chicken just a ham steak away from a delmarvelous dinner, lol. As always, the crabs were awesome, big, hot, and meaty. The broasted chicken is perfect. I will say I've had better corn and wanting another Pepsi was hard to get. All in all, I love Captain Bobs to fix my crab cravings.
Our dozen crabs may have been steamed fresh, but not anytime close to my order. On a Saturday, we spent $95 on a dozen of tough, dry, stringy meat crabs. Our dozen hush puppies were mediocre at best but they were $13, so they fall to one star as well. I can honestly say that I have never had a more disappointing time eating crabs, and I was taught to pick crab in 1974… So sorry to leave this review, but I can’t let others have a similar experience.
Visiting from Dallas and had to try the crabs! Indoor and outdoor seating. BYOB. Had the all you can eat crabs; $39.95/ person. The crabs were big and the waiter just kept bringing more. Amazing service!
