Now the crabs tasted pretty good as well as the shrimp...but these were suppose to be JUMBO! Now I've had jumbo and colossal blue crabs before and they were HUGE! These are best were maybe large because most were pretty heavy...but that doesn't mean they are jumbo. So I really didn't like that I paid 90/dz for what I thought would be huge and get home and see these tiny crabs. The owners were really nice and even provided me with some newspaper to eat my crab. But to say these are jumbo is dishonest. Especially when the price is up there in this economy.

The individuals who answer the phones and take orders are rude, and the overall quality is lacking. I saw this place on TikTok and noticed that it was located in my old neighborhood, so I decided to give it a try. The employees were kind and walked me through the menu, which led me to order catfish and fried shrimp rice. Y'all, Chinese food in the District Heights/Forestville area hasn't tasted this good since the 90's. My combo meal cost around 15 bucks, and it included a yellow drink. I won't call it lemonade, because it was old-school lemon-flavor Kool-Aid. It was sooo good, and if you put it in the freezer and added Henny, it would make a great evening. I will be back!

I…read moreusually come here during the week especially on Monday nights when there's a spades group that hosts games and it's always a good time. My usual order is the Boom Boom Shrimp, which always comes out hot, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. This past Sunday, I decided to try their bottomless seafood special, and it did not disappoint. For under $40, you can eat as much seafood as you want, and the portions are huge. They offer multiple flavor options and allow you to customize your spice level to match your palate. The drinks are great too, though they're an additional cost still reasonably priced. During football season, it can get a bit loud, so if you prefer a quiet dining environment, that's something to keep in mind. The service could be a little better, but overall, it's a great experience if you're coming for the food. Delicious seafood, generous portions, and fun vibes definitely worth a visit!

Server, too ME was very nice but VERY forgetful...like I don't require a lot Maybe because it was a Tuesday the restaurant was not very busy at all I told my server my order she sent the manager over who took my order...all I asked for was a fries shrimp basket, fried oysters - no fries, and steamed scallops in the Rock n Boss sauce - a mixture of all 3 of their sauces. Seeing as the restaurant wasn't crowded at all you would think that I would have gotten pipping hot food...nope...lukewarm at best For as long as it took me to get things last night you would have thought the restaurant was packed to capacity, nope The restaurant was clean and it is it as big as the Bowie location but we'll take it. The music was at a tasteful level...not to loud that you had to scream at other guest at your table but not so low that you would dismiss what was being played. No pics of food I'll be back because it's in my neighborhood but I hope the service is quicker

This is a hidden Carryout gem in Forrestville mall…read more You CAN'T Beat the prices I swear, for seafood less than $15 will get you right and happy! Customer Service- So nice, family owned with great service. Literally EVERYTHING takes 10 minutes lol It's a clean Carryout in a mall, hard to explain but it's different than your standard Carryout spots. No seating areas but you have the mall or car to chill and wait. If you have time, there's a barber shop literally NEXT door for a fresh cut. Definitely a must try spot for something quick to grab worth the money and taste.

Driving by this place dozens of times so, now I had to stop. The place wasn't too busy at this time…read moreof day and I'm glad I stopped in. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. I guess they could tell that this was my first time visiting. Everything smelled wonderful while I was waiting for my order and there are a couple of tables for people to sit and enjoy their meal. This is primarily a takeout establishment, but you can sit down. Space is kind of limited for an inside dining experience. I got a shrimp basket with fries and coleslaw and an order of clam strips for my wife. The orders were tasty. My wife enjoyed her clam strips and my fried shrimp with fries and Cole slaw was still hot when I got home. No pictures to share this time

OMG! I think I found my #2 fresh seafood spot because the Wharf/Captain White's will always be #1!…read more BUT...Lucas is the bomb and because they are literally 8 minutes from my house. So I've only being in PG County for about 5-months so I'm trying to find all the spots. And everybody knows that the hood spots usually slap! And this place did not disappoint me at all! So getting into the parking lot is a little tricky because it is on a very busy road. But I had a nice person who let me in so I didn't have to wait in the middle of the street to turn in. I backed in and got out because I was really intrigued in how high this post has got in the Yelp! And when I walked in I could tell this was certified hood spot because the Asian guy in there had the swag. I ended up getting 2.5lbs crab legs, a lb of jumbo shrimp, and 2lbs of large shrimp. I got everything steamed expect the large shrimp to keep for home for another day. He was really cool and even threw in (2) sides of extra seasoning and even a carrot cake for free. Which I thought was really nice. He did ask me if I wanted butter which I said yes, but he must forgot because I didn't get any melted butter...maybe next time. The menu is extensive so you will find something you want fried, steamed, and a combination of both. The seafood was steamed perfectly and I can't wait to come back! PSA: next door is a convenience store which I would not recommend because the guy behind the counter acted like he couldn't speak. Mofo was silent as if he was mute. So 0/10 for that place. But Old Lucas 10/10 will recommend all day long!

Period…read more I've been seeing this place all over social media, so when I found myself in the area, I had to see what the hype was about. First off, parking is easy. It's in a shopping center, so nothing stressful there, and the restaurant itself is easy to spot. Walking in, the first thing I noticed was how clean, polished, and classy everything looked. Even though it was busy, it didn't feel chaotic. The staff immediately greeted me and asked if it was my first time which I appreciated. They didn't just rush me through the line; they actually took time to explain the menu, how the bowls are built, and offered samples. That alone made the experience feel welcoming and intentional. Now let's get into the FOOD. Everything looked fresh. They have about four rice options (which is already a win), and I went with the pineapple coconut rice. For my protein, I chose grilled chicken, but they also offer shrimp, salmon, and even a mushroom option for vegetarians and honestly, the mushrooms looked so good I almost switched. For my added sides, I kept it simple because I really wanted to taste everything. Collard greens and sweet potatoes. But they also had plantains, and okra....real deal soul food options. Then you get into the fresh toppings. Slaws, carrots, pickled veggies. I kept it light. I finished my bowl with collard green pesto (which intrigued me, and I'm glad I tried it) and added an étouffée sauce over my rice... and listen!!!!! That combo? Chef's kiss. I grabbed a tropical punch juice, and just like everything else, it tasted fresh and well-made. Let me say this clearly: the food is a 10/10. If you're someone who will give Chipotle chance after chance, then you absolutely owe it to yourself to try Spice Black. 10/10. Worth your money. Worth the hype. Worth the experience.

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and I'm so glad I did. We were immediately…read moregreeted and seated right away. Now, I wasn't really happy about our seat but I couldn't see behind the wall to know if there was another table to request to move to. We were sat in the front corner I guess directly under a vent and it was already chilly outside. I didn't let it bother me because I really wanted to try ERRTHANG on the menu. Now, this is where I was about to get up and leave. We sat for a good while and NO ONE came to greet, take a drink order, or even ask have we been helped. I want to say it's because we were somewhat out of sight. Because it was freezing I got up and asked for another table, which was on the other side of the wall with all the other customers and much warmer even with the patio bar doors open. No, I don't remember my waiters name, but he came over immediately and apologized for us being stranded in the back. We went on to order our drinks which came fairly quickly and we ordered our food. I was kind of disappointed because he said they no longer served fried crab legs and should be taken off the menu, but that's OK. I was ready to order something else. I had Chef Mo's Shrimp & Grits and when I say it's the best shrimp and grits I've ever had in my life. It was amazing. The grits were three cheese grits with crawfish, étouffée, and large perfectly shrimp with some BOMB jalapeño beef sausage, which I would have removed, but I said let's do it. Best decision I've ever made. I cannot stop thinking about the grits. My friend ordered the Cajun fried fish and grits with a side of eggs (no pic). We both raved the entire time about how creamy and delicious the grits were. I didn't need to add anything, no butter, no salt, no sugar. They were absolutely amazing and I'm not even a huge grits fan. Now, the fish, the menu stated half a pound, which came out to be one small piece of whiting. I guess I was expecting a bigger piece or maybe two pieces because it was so tiny but that baby filet was seasoned to the gods, I mean perfect. The breading was so flavorful but not overpowering or salty. The eggs tasted like the eggs I had in the marines out of a bag, but he mix them with the grits and was fine. Everything was so good that we thought about coming back later that night to try something else. Please bring back the deep-fried crab legs
