Online ordering was simple. They have specials on crabs during the middle of the week. Place is clean and neat inside. There is no where to sit and eat. Carry out only. Displays show different seafoods, salads and desserts. Crabs were very fully and meaty. Seasoned very well. read more

My first time visiting here in person. Saturday afternoon, not crowded at all, 2 other guests ahead of us. We ordered 2 dozen mixed crabs and a pound of mussels. The crabs took longer than I expected, mussels came out first. They have a decent variety of seafood outside of crabs, such as crab cakes, seafood boil bags, down to shrimp salad, pretty good deals and specials written on the outside glass. I don't eat crabs do I can't comment on the crabs that were purchased but my family tore them up! I think this location in a win in my book. read more

The service is always friendly. They try and give the best estimated time for your seafood, but are always pleasant and update you if it's taking longer. The crabs and shrimp have always been quality! Consistent every time. Be sure to look for the $6 large males on Fridays! read more

Mediocre establishment if you want crab meat / other seafood in a pinch. Their customer service is decent - no complaints after a few visits during the years, but I wish their grab and go options were better. For example, sometimes you just want a crab pretzel. They aren't good at all here. I just go to Wegmans and pray they have some. read more

Blue Point Crab House - Platter pick 4 - Seafood Markets Near Me - Owings Mills, Maryland

** le sigh ** Where do I begin... I was a faithful customer of Blue Point a little less than 10 years ago and bad customer service happened repeatedly and ran me into the arms of another crab place. Well 10 years later, I decided to try again. I heard mixed reviews but one of the positives were from a good friend. I went and ordered1/2 dozen of medium male crabs but was told that the small/ medium/ large crabs were mixed together for $2 each. Great! I was most delightfully surprised when I saw they have a full menu of seafood as well as poultry items. This must be great right? I called in order half dozen of crabs is well as a catfish sandwich. The food was ready on time as promised. That's a plus, the atmosphere was much better than I remembered it being. Someone did a great job with their vision for how this place should look and it looks great. They have all types of cold salads, fresh seafood, etc. I get home and eat my catfish sandwich and crabs. It was ok, plentiful. Ohhh the catfish sandwich, I swear they put 2 - 3 pieces on top each other, it was so large and good. Cooked very well and seasoned perfectly. It came with a bag of chips. Next I went to eat my crabs. They looked ok, the seasoning was good. The crabs tasted a little old and smelled kind of fishy. I would say the crabs were bad, edible I guess. There were a good size. For them to be mixed, I feel like I definitely received more of the larger crabs than small. Although it's been awhile since I last visited, the crabs were better back then. Customer service is much better now, so I will revisit because I want to try more of their food items. That's all I got for this review. read more

There are no smiles from servers, it's not the same as it was a few years ago. I ordered a platter and received 3 different containers? When is that a platter? I had to beg for a fork, no napkins, no crackers, no condiments offered. It's ridiculous young people have these positions w/o skills or interest. read more

Worst crabs ever. I normally don't do reviews but i wanna save people the trip and the money. Crabs were light, had a rotten smell and seemed to have been reheated. Also service was awful (should have been my sign to not purchase anything) the guy that took my order was rude and texting on his phone. I'll never support this establishment again. I wish i could give zero stars read more

It has taken me a while to write this post. But all I can say is if you visit this place please be careful. The owner needs to pay more attention to making sure this place stays clean so that the food is safe for all to eat. read more

We've been eating crabs all year, our regular place had only small yesterday so we took a chance. NEVER again! No wonder they were so darn cheap cause you get what you pay for! It was the most disappointing crab experience ever and if this was a person's first experience eating crabs this would make them stop eating them. Rather than sell trashy mushy crabs at any price just doesn't sell them because you have to be losing customers. read more

never even tried the food. place the phone order for the next day. Was told I had to come in and pay. They couldn't take payment over the phone when I got there. They said I couldn't pay for the order. They said the prices were going up the next day so they couldn't honor the price if I paid. And they were quite rude about it read more

Blue Point Crab House - Blue Crabs - Seafood Markets Near Me - Owings Mills, Maryland

I'll start by saying I am an out of towner and come around here a couple times a year to visit family. Every time we come, we HAVE to get some authentic Maryland steamed crabs! We came here to Blue Point last October and we're very pleased with everything! It's not April and even though crabs are not in season at this time, these crabs were super delicious! Definitely worth the price we paid! No complaints here! read more

Blue Point Crab House - Steamed whole medium male crabs - Seafood Markets Near Me - Owings Mills, Maryland

I was on reisterstown rd in Owings mills and decided to get some crabs. I called all of my usual crab spots and no one had crabs. This place only had small males for $35/doz.. I ordered 2 doz and 1lb of steamed shrimp. The customer service was awesome. I dealt with a Caucasian guy, stocky with a beard. The other guy was older and bald with glasses. They both were nice and helpful while I was undecided on what I wanted to order. The crabs were flavorful and big for smalls. They even threw in some bigger ones. The steamed shrimp was amazing! My mother got some seafood salad. It was delicious. My overall experience was great, I will be back. I will add this place to my list of favorites. read more

Blue Point Crab House - Super large crab inside the bag of size small male crabs. Thanks!! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Owings Mills, Maryland

Ordered a bushel of large males (around $320) here for Mother's Day and they were great! They were meaty and the flavor was really good (not too much seasoning but not too little). Of course because of COVID their ordering process is different than usual, but I really appreciated how efficient they were. The service is always good when I come here, so I will continue to support them. read more

Blue Point Crab House - crabs in a pan - Seafood Markets Near Me - Owings Mills, Maryland

I really wanted my first crab picking event of the season to be good. I signed up for store promotions the day before and received a text for a Monday special ($3 mediums). I did my due diligence and called another crab house near by and this was indeed a great deal. I called and asked if I could place an order over the phone (for steamed crabs) and was told no. I think this is a fair practice bc if someone doesn't show then crabs have been steamed w/out a buyer. I live nearby so less than a 10 min drive and I was in the store requesting the special. I over hear the young lady ask the male worker if the mediums were still available. He responded yes and said something like "she's not coming." To me this means maybe someone inquired but hadn't arrived. I would estimate about 5-7 minutes after ordering my 2 dozen were ready. The bag was hot but this seemed super quick and I wondered if they were reheated. I had 4 of the 24 and my BF ate the rest. 3/4 were good and 1/4 was meh, all the claw meat was black. This was odd to me and again I questioned how fresh they actually were. I am a straight up "mustard" girl. The more the better. By the time I made it home (roughly 15 mins from pickup) my beloved mustard was firm, not runny. Again I questioned how fresh they were. All in all, inflation is real and I believe the deal fair. I can't say they are the best mediums I've had but this deal satisfied my crab craving. read more

Blue Point Crab House - Large males - Seafood Markets Near Me - Owings Mills, Maryland

Let me say that I understand the pandemic has made customer service and quality challenging because getting anyone to work is a miracle itself. However, at some point- an establishments reputation and quality is going to be irreparably tarnished if they do not step up. I ordered several dozen steamed crabs and shrimp salad. There were exceptional issues with all. The shrimp salad may have had more shells than actual shrimp. However, the flavor was decent enough. The crabs on the other hand were unacceptable. Firstly, steamed crabs should never be steamed to the point the apron of the crab is open. This is either a sign the crab is bad or way over cooked. Out of three dozen crabs over half had the aprons already open. The shells were so soft they just feel apart. Sure enough when opening the crabs as least six had that strong tell tale smell of being bad. These should have never made it into the pot or bag. These crabs had to have been dead for a while prior to being cooked. Other crabs had next to no meet inside of them with others made of mush. Out of the crabs ordered maybe 6 were acceptable. I highly recommend you do not order from this establishment for the foreseeable future until they get their act together. It is a health hazard. Eating a bad crab/seafood can cause serious illness. Additionally, as expensive as crabs are and to only get a half a dozen decent ones is unacceptable. read more

Ordered a dozen of female crabs and more than half of the dozen were old. The "crab meat" wasn't even meat, it was mush. I called to inform them of the matter and I was told "There's nothing I can do." As expensive as crabs are that's unacceptable. They didn't even try to compensate me. I was just flat out told "There's nothing I can do." If you're looking for a place to purchase crabs that are dead and not on ice before they're cooked then you'll love this place. I highly would not recommend this place. They only received a star because I had to put one. The service is sorry just like the crabs. You're better off eating imitation crab meat rather than this. read more

Purchased steamed crabs here in summer of 2023. They were paper thin, light weight, very little meat. The person at the counter was very disgruntled and not friendly at all. Called the store And talked to the owner. That was also a disappointment. I felt that he understood my experience but didn't know what to do about it himself. Will not return. read more

Love Blue Point crabs. I usually go when they have the $1/$2 specials. Even when they're on the small size the flavor is good. They also have frozen soft shell crabs which can be hard to find. My aunt usually likes their deviled eggs but this time the were ridiculously sweet (and she likes a little sweetness) as was the pasta salad. She threw them both away. I just stick with the crabs lol and don't forget the butter! read more

I purchased two crabs cakes from this establishment yesterday and I was very very disappointed. I called Trent, store manager, and without hesitation told me to bring the one back that I had left in and he would make it right. What a great guy. When I arrived we briefly spoke and he made me whole with two very large and freshly cooked crab cakes. Trent is the man. I really appreciate him. Will forever be a loyal customer. Thank you Trent. read more

This location has a new group of employees I have been patronizing this location for years but normally I just purchase crabs. I wanted to get try there for ounce specialty crab cake on Friday but upon driving over here through traffic only to find out the kitchen closes at 7:30 the restaurant or this take out carry out location closes at 8:00 I've never heard of such normally the kitchen stays open until 8:00 and the last order is taken at quarter of specially since it is a special that they're having on Friday with the flounder the crab pretzel the crab cake and something else but this is ridiculous you're closing at 8:00 on a Friday and you guys shut down the kitchen at 7:30 no wonder restaurants are losing so much business they have crappy staff I need to do a better job of people that they hire and then maybe they will get more customers coming in to their location but close in the kitchen is 7:30 never heard of such, and in the restaurants want to know why they can't make any money you close at 8:00 on a Friday night yet you shut your kitchen down at 7:30 I think if you took the last order at 10 of 8:00 people could still clean prepare the restaurant for tomorrow and tidy up as they should be doing but closing the kitchen at 8:00 I don't understand because don't you still have the steam people's crabs read more

management is trash. walked in ask the price of crabs. was giving 1 option. 1/2 dozen $30 dollars. proceed to look around the store, multiple advertisements for dozen crabs $30. asked the "manager" to explain, she proceeds to argue with me instead of listening to what i was expressing. why would i buy 6 for $30 when u have 12 for $30 options that u didn't even tell me? she wanted to be smart and sarcastic which i found intriguing bc I'm not the one working the 9 to 5. so at what point do ppl who work for the establishment understand that explaining the options are apart of the job? to make matters worse the entire staff proceeded to be noisy and ignorant as if my logic didn't make sense. if i ask you the options don't tell me one option as if it's the only option then get mad when i feel like u playing with my funds. will see all of u very soon tho. a manager like that doesn't need a job and ima push the issue til we get to corporate. read more

I am thankful for the little local seafood store. I read the poor reviews. My experience with this business has been very good. The crab cakes are good enough to keep me coming back.

Health department will be notified. read more

Blue Point Crab House - Seafood Markets Near Me - Owings Mills, Maryland

Blue Point Crab House is a no frills carryout joint serving seafood, but specifically freshly steamed blue crabs. They always carry several sizes of crabs ranging from small to jumbo with reasonable prices. The crabs are always very good quality - nothing but full/heavy male crabs. Even their medium crabs are pretty meaty for their size. Also, the seasoning is just right. Blue Point seems to use an old bay base with a few additional spices to permeate the crabs - not too salty or spicy. Blue Point is the best for carry-out crabs because of their Tuesday through Thursday $2 crab special. They offer a mixed bag of crabs, consisting of primarily medium with some small and large crabs for only $2 per crab. Some places around town may offer a comparable or better deal, but as described above, the quality is better than almost every other carry-out place I have tried. Get your blue crabs from here, you won't be disappointed. If you want to avoid the wait just call ahead and place the order. read more
