The shop is in a charming small historic building. We found parking behind the building. There was a steady stream of people going into the market. They sell fresh seafood to go and a selection of dine-in options. Many of the seafood prices are listed as Market Price. The crab sandwich was $23 with tax and there is an up-charge for use of credit card. The crabcake is thick with lump crabmeat. My sandwich was perfectly seasoned and prepared in authentic Maryland style. The bun with lettuce and tomato fresh were and tasty, too. The sandwich was perfection. The service was efficient. The clerk didn't waste time with pleasantries. The food takes awhile to prepare. I waited about 15 minutes after I ordered as they fresh bake the crab cakes. A tip jar sits by the cash register. The place is cute inside decorated in a harbor/seafood theme. There are 5 tables inside and 2 counters that seat 4 people each. It's the kind of place that you'd meet a friend for lunch and a beer and hang out. There are a couple of Adirondack chairs out front. A tv monitor was playing basketball reruns. The crab cakes can be purchased unbaked to go (along with a host of other seafood). There is a small full bar and coke products. They also serve ice cream, which is what many of the families were stopping for on this hot summer day. I will make JB's a regular stop on my way through Maryland. Well worth a visit.

So I've been to J&T very often through the years but never had a chance to go to the Woodbine Inn…read moreacross the street. I know these two businesses collaborate with crabs. Perhaps the same owner? One thing you should be aware of is the traffic pattern is a bit janky so be cautious around here. So when you order crabs from here, it gets hand delivered across the street from J&T. It takes about 20 minutes so if you want to eat right away, call Woodbine Inn and place the order so that it is ready when you get there. Another bit of advice: call several days in advance and pre-order the largest crabs they have available for the day you are coming. We came on a Saturday at 1pm and only mediums were available. We were waited on by Jenn who was very attentive and friendly. She explained how things worked around there. We ordered a pitcher of Yuengling, 1/2 fried chicken, side salad, onion rings, 1lb of shrimp, 4 cups of half and half- 1/2 Md crab soup and 1/2 cream crab soup, and 2 dozen medium crabs. The beer came out really cold and refreshing. So much so that a fly decided to take a plunge in one of the cups. Jenn replaced the cup of beer without hesitation. I was looking forward to the fried chicken but was a bit disappointed. Chicken and crab combo is awesome but this chicken, although piping hot, was somewhat dry. I have a phobia about dry food and could not finish the thigh. Just needed to be a little bit more moist and juicy. The salad was fresh and the vinaigrette dressing was on point. The onion rings were huge but only 4 pieces came out. It was a side to the chicken so that was fine. The shrimp was ok. I would have preferred a little more seasoning but that is just me. Now the soup... when I hear half and half, I was thinking possibly a 2section bowl with half Md crab soup and 1/2 cream of crab soup. Nope. It just came out mixed together. But it kind of worked! I enjoyed every last drop of it and so did everyone else at the table. Now the crabs. I saw a young man trekking across that dangerous street playing frogger and dodging traffic to get us those crabs and surprisingly, they stayed hot the entire meal! Even though they were medium, they were all fully packed! For the 4 of us, 2 dozen was more than enough. We had couple of pieces left over so we took that home. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience here today. Definitely would have been a 5 star if the chicken was moist!

Spiced shrimp came in 3 different size shrimp for you to choose and they were also great. I sat in the parking area while waiting for it to all be ready as the shop is big enough to accommodate folks ordering but if you stay you'll be in the way.

They have their top combos or you can build your own. They also have blue crab of course and make sure you place orders in advance as they sell out especially on holidays. There is nowhere to eat inside or sit so you can order to go prior or stop in and get yours to go as well. The staff is wonderful and it was nice to talk with the other customers as we waited for ours. It's not big inside just a couple counters with food options to choose from and you take with you to go. They have all the seasoning and sides for sale also, along with frozen items and even paper for your crabs if you need it.

We were not disappointed at all, plus we were happily surprised over the unexpected value our experience represented. The crabs were more than fairly priced ($110 per dozen of heavy-for-their-size "large" crabs, served hot and fresh with very little water. These crabs certainty were local, steamed (not boiled) and fresh. The seasoning seemed perhaps a proprietary J&O blend and was adequately salty and spicy but (happily) less overpowering than Old Bay might be. The remainder of the menu, which we perused but avoided this time, would have been at home at a Chesapeake waterfront venue - all of the predictable shellfish-based traditional choices were here. Service was more than adequate; the super-cheerful Kelsey took good care of us and we took care of her (nearly a 25% tip). All told, including a draft beer for each of us and a shared slice of Smith Island Cake (a Maryland delicacy pretty hard to find), we dropped $157. Money well spent. Visit Emmert's for a messy ding hall trayful pile of Maryland summer delight. You won't be disappointed!
