Everything was amazing and we would recommend anyone who can to go to a Crab & Cruise when you are in the area.

Three sailers were sitting in the Waters Edge Cafe having just finished a nice lunch of crab cake…read moresandwiches and talking about what else but where we should go for dinner, what else, right? Since it is early April, Crisfield is not quite in full swing so a lot of places are only open on the weekends. On our arrival via sailboat last night we saw a couple of places with water front decks so we we trying to figure out which places those were and whether they were open. One spot we identified was the Fishernan's Warf but our online searches indicated they were not open until Friday afternoon. The other place we identified was the Crab Pot Depot and according to the online information it was open. We left the cafe and walked down the street checking out a few shops and chatting with some friendly locals and the decided we would walk over and check out the Crap Pot Depot. When we arrived we saw that while the hours posted in the window indicated they we open, the sign and the locked door clearly indicated they were closed. While researching the place online, we could see that they had a few tables along the waterfront so we found our way along the side of the building and out to the back deck. When we got there we found the owner, Eric, busy cleaning the deck and tables. He said that he should be open but due to a few things he was not open and that he would be open tomorrow. I jokingly asked if he would be willing to serve three hungry sailors and to our surprise he said that it wouldn't be the first time he had done something like that. We chatted some more and next thing you know we had arranged for two dozen crabs and two pounds of shrimp to be prepared and ready to eat at 6:15. We hustled back to the boat and did some laundry while other crew caught a few winks. I slipped over to Big Willies and grabbed some Yingling Lagers and at 6 we headed over to the Crab Pot Depot. We settled into our private restaurant picnic table on the water and in no time at all Eric delivered crabs and shrimp to three hungry sailors. Maybe it was the setting, maybe it was the circumstances but the crabs and shrimp were absolutely outstanding. As an added bonus, Eric served us his own side dipping sauce of butter with garlic and spices that complimented both the crab meat and the shrimp to perfection. On top of the fact that the food was tremendous, and Eric was incredibly accommodating, he was also an outstanding host. One drawback was that there were a lot of biting gnats out this evening. We were doing our best to drown out their annoyance with crab, shrimp, and Yingling and we were doing a pretty good job of it but Eric could see they were bothersome. To aid in our comfort he went into his kitchen and brought out a large industrial fan and extension cords and set it up so it would blow down our table, eliminating 90% of the bug problems. If you are ever anywhere near Crisfield, do yourself a favor and look up Eric at the Crab Pot Depot. This is one guy who deserves all the business he can get! https://crabpotdepot.com/ Food ***** Location ****** Service *****

The business is family owned and operated and we could not have been more satisfied. Of course, carry out is available, seafood is seasoned to taste, and the cornbread is excellent.

It's a long drive into the middle of nowhere to a very charming beachfront town but it was a dreary and rainy day. We easily parked in the large gravel lot and walked inside and were immediately sat at a table by the water with a lovely view. Our waitress was prompt and super friendly. We chose to get the crab hush puppies and were thrilled to see they were made fresh and hot to order and tasted phenomenal. We devoured them quickly. We decided to split the fish taco meal since it was lunch for us and it came with two large-sized tacos and cole slaw. It was a nice portion for an entree and was easily enough for both of us for a lighter lunch. Really delicious sweet tea so I took some to go. Small gift shop attached and tons of seating inside and expansive views of the water with a back wall of windows all around.

Her crab and shrimp cake was very good. It was well-prepared, tasted good, and there was little filler in with the seafood. Her sides were French fries and asparagus. I tried them: I thought the fries were good, but I thought the asparagus were a little over-cooked and over-seasoned. I ordered what the menu said was an eight-ounce filet. On line, the price was $28. When the bill came, it was $34. Apparently somewhere along the line they changed cuts of meat but didn't update the menu accordingly. Regardless, the meat was delicious. My sides were mashed potatos and a side Caesar salad. Both were good. And as I asked, the server brought the salad well in advance of the entree so I had some time to digest before the steak came. Most restaurants -- even nice ones -- bring the salad or appetizer practically on top of the entree, which in my opinion automatically reduces the rating. We arrived on a mid-week late afternoon, certainly before the dinner rush, and were the only customers in the restaurant at the time. The restaurant was pleasant. The server was informative, friendly, and appropriately attentive.

I got the Coconut Shrimp special and the rest got flounder bites, Garlic Shrimp Special and a BBQ sandwich. The food itself was good. The Coconut Shrimp was perfectly fried and soooo good. I got a salad as a side and it was a generous portion with lots of fresh veggies. I tasted the macaroni salad and it was way to sweet for my taste. But the Garlic Shrimp was good and so were the Flounder Bites. Fortunately my friends shared. Don't wait on your check - go right up to the register. There is a bathroom and AC.
