Loved the food! Customer service was wonderful they check up on you. A little bit pricey don't get me wrong but it's worth it in my opinion. Food was delicious they deliver a good portion for you to be able to get full so in my experience Will I come back ? Yes read more

Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Seafood rolls made with old shrimp. The waiter/bar guy laughed it off. 1st time going there and I was embarrassed because I recommended it. I liked the Ambiance but the food was the real reason I went. Salty, salty, salty. Never again. I'm awake because I'm not well. Don't waste your money. Oh, before I forget, the waitress made it apoint to tell us that the tip that's 18% gets slip with everyone else soooo???? I was like there is no way I will leave anything else. It's already decided even if you had a Horrible time. I wish the bleep I would. Get a lesson on cooking/serving 1st. I'm not feeling well and will never recommend them again. read more

I visited on a Sunday afternoon post brunch rush because this place is always super busy for brunch! I knew exactly what I wanted the seafood trio salad which was so delicious I'm telling you this salad has salmon, fried shrimp, a mini crab cake with craisins and tomatoes, it was exactly what I needed in my life. The food is always seasoned well and service is top tier. Ashley is my favorite bartender, her drinks are always on point. Come visit if you're thinking about, you won't be disappointed. read more

Crab Cab - Grilled salmon and sautéed spinach with an old fashioned. - Seafood Near Me - Capitol Heights, Maryland

This was my first time and I was very impressed. The decor was wonderful. I ordered the crab dip and seafood eggrolls. The crab cab sauce was very good with eggrolls. I did expect them to be a tad bit bigger. The crab dip was excellent. Very tasty and not a lot of mayo. The flavor was robust. I ordered the shrimp basket and my sister ordered the shrimp po boy. Both were very good. I will definitely be back. I was also impressed with the manager cleaning and checking on customers. Our server was Erin, she was very nice, however one suggestion, do NOT grab customers glasses over the top. Your hands should be around the bottom of the glass. read more

I would give 3.5 stars if I could. My overall experience at Crab Cab was positive. I came for happy hour and the prices were great. It is a cute restaurant with a cozy, but chic interior. I also loved their playlist! The music was a vibe. My server was also very friendly. As for the food, I enjoyed the calamari because it was tender. The brussel sprouts were also tasty. The crab cake sliders were okay and the chips that came with the crab and shrimp dip tasted a little stale and needed salt. The drinks were strong. I have heard the Alexandria location is better and I definitely want to try that location. read more

I won't make this long, I'm too irritated with the place! First, placed an order for pick up, asked if the shrimp could be removed from the crab dip, since I'm allergic. I was told it could then when I went to pick it up the waitress said she made a mistake. Then get home and aside from food leaking all over the bag I find this metal (maybe bread tie?) piece in my food which basically cut the inside of my mouth! read more

Crab Cab - Chilling outside at the bar. #livingmybestlife - Seafood Near Me - Capitol Heights, Maryland

I've loved this spot when they were just a food truck. Salmon fries will always be my go-to! Now this location, like the VA one, is very tight space wise. It's hard to not feel like you aren't going to bump into someone's table when trying to get back. But the food was delicious. I was sad the oysters came out after our entrees but no complaints in the cook at all. Also service was a little behind because the bartender had customers at the bar and still had tables, like mine. read more

Yikes . As almost ALL the reviews state, the service was TERRIBLE. My husband and I got there around 4pm on a Wednesday with very minimal people there and left around 6:30pm. We only had three appetizers and 2 drinks. There was about four people behind the bar all of which kind of ignore the fact that you're sitting there. We ordered and the wrong food came out after an hour. By the time the right food came out I tried eating so fast I didn't take a picture. A girl was starving! Important part - Food Crab and shrimp spinach dip: 7/10 Seafood oysters: 4/10 Crab cake stacker sandwich: 6/10 per husband Drink: South Sunset: 8/10 Blue berry smash: 7/10 Ambiance: Actually a nice place. Small but cute. Unfortunately I will never be back because of service. read more

The place is small but beautifully decorated. It's an outdoor/indoor space and seems like a good place to go if you want to catch a little vibe in your local Upper Marlboro area. This ain't DC, so let's all tailor our expectation of vibe . This place does have potential to be a spot where the older crowd or young professionals gather just to chill or to just hang with your significant other. You are going to want to make sure they got your order correct. They messed up on my wife and I order and had to come back to use to take it again. Food: Crab & Shrimp Spinach Dip - 6/10.. it was ok but missing something to make it pop. Maybe pretzel bread would be better than the tortilla chips and the flavor of the dip was mediocre. Crab Cake Sandwich Stacker - 6/10.. this was another mediocre meal. There was nothing about it that really made it memorable. It tasted like any other crab cake that you could get from anywhere. It could have used some more old bay and they could have put more sauce on it. Drinks: Sunset Beach: 8/10.. this drink is great for those who love something sweet and not overpowered by alcohol. Blueberry Smasher: 10/10.. just the right amount of alcohol and flavor. For those who want to try something but not into the sugary drinks. Honestly, the drinks are what is making me rate this place a 3 over a 2. Overall, the experience was meh. Service was slow, we almost got double charged for a meal, and got the wrong order first. On top of getting the wrong order first, the food was so delayed that the woman who came after us, looked over and said, "dang, you all were before me and haven't ate yet." It's just starting out, so maybe they just need time to find their footing. read more

Food was good, prices were reasonable and the drinks were tasty. I had the lobster egg and cheese croissant and the French toast. My food could have been hotter (temp) wise, but it was all very tasty. The French toast didnt even need syrup. The blueberry mimosa carafe gave us like 3 drinks each! Very warm, friendly and attentive staff, clean and simplistic decor. The 90's and 2000"s RnB was a vibe. Will return! read more

The food was good and our waitress was cool, but here comes the "however." When we first walked into the restaurant, we weren't greeted or asked how many were in our party. Honestly, he didn't ask or say anything- heck I would have taken him asking us to break dance for our food or him asking us to leave lol. He looked at us, we looked at him, he looked at us, and we looked at him lol. Cue the weird "AL" version of a song, and that pretty much sums up the moment we had . Eventually, we said something first, and another staff member stepped in to help us. I genuinely don't remember if we ever even heard that first person's voice lol. The other reviews on Google and Yelp seem great, so maybe it was just an off day. Still, I probably wouldn't recommend this place based on my experience, though that's just my personal preference. Nothing really stood out, and the food felt a bit expensive for what was offered and for the level of service. I ordered the Island Pasta, fries, and mac and cheese. My total was close to $60 with a cocktail included. read more

So I recently ordered Crab Cab to go for lunch. I placed my order as soon as the restaurant opened, so when I arrived the food wasn't ready, so I grabbed a seat at the bar and waited. The inside is really nice, dim, sleek ambiance, perfect for a date night, or an intimate meal. The hostess came out from the back and informed me that one of my items would not be ready, and allowed me to pick another item to replace it. Now the food. The seafood egg rolls are tiny. But for $6 I shouldn't have had big expectations. They're simply just mini spring rolls with shrimp and I believe salmon inside. They came with a creamy sweet Thai chili sauce, which was ok. Those get a 7/10. The Mac and cheese side was enough for two people. But it was good. Creamy, seasoned, rich. 8/10 the brussel sprouts had a honey glaze on them that didn't seem to stick to the sprouts, so they lacked flavor 6/10. The stuffed salmon was cooked well. The crab stuffing on top was tasty, and I enjoyed that. 8/10. So overall I'd give this spot an overall 7.5/10. I'd like to go back for happy hour and see how that is. read more

I had no idea this hidden gem was in Capitol heights. The vibe gave Bohemian/ minimalism and I LOVED it. It felt as if we were on vacation. The indoor/ outdoor bar was an added bonus. We ordered two dishes-Fried catfish with Mac and Brussels and lamb chops with Mac and broccolini. The fried fish was great! Flavorful and a healthy serving. The lamb chops could have used more seasoning. I think the Brussels had more of a sweet component than savory. I prefer a balance, but delectable nonetheless. The max was tasty but there was a bed of butter seeping through after my first fork pull. A little les butter and the Mac and cheese is a great side dish. Overall, the food was fair- the fried fish really was the star of the show. I also ordered crab egg rolls (not pictured) because I ate them too fast. But there wasn't much crab in there . Literally would not have known it was in there had I not pulled it apart. Lastly, the service. Our guy was kind. It just seemed like the drinks and Oreo cheesecake took a while to come out. The manager comped it for us, so there were no complaints there. They were checking in on us to make sure we were ok which is why I will definitely be returning for a date night. Drinks were tasty. read more

You walk in and you're a little surprised on how nice looking this modest sized seafood restaurant is, given its somewhat random location. I'm a light guy and this spot has the coolest lights. It's like they used me to pick them out.. Lol. The rest of the decor matched perfectly. Crab Cab did all they could do with this small space, it even has a decent sized bar, so two thumbs up to the architect! This particular day and unfortunately it was our first time here, service was a bit off. It took forever for our server to greet us. It was busy but it wasn't THAT busy if you know what I mean. If I'm the owner I'm PISSED because you know what they say.. You never get a second chance to make a first impression!! :) On to the food. Other than the charbroiled oysters which were amazing, my lamb chops and her crab topped salmon were both underwhelming. My chops were the 4 smallest chops that I can ever remember having and they weren't that good. Came out luke warm and the taste was just ok. The crab on top of her salmon was I guess their crab cake which had just as much cake as crab. Just add crab meat when topping off the salmon.. Trust me, you'll get a better response. I'm always looking for new spots to try in the DMV, and if I were a stakeholder, I'd head to Krab King in Upper Marlboro. It's very similar in size and style, not quite as attractive but the food is OUTSTANDING! Steal their recipes when they're not looking, I won't tell.. Lol. You're welcome! read more

Out for a bit of Sunday globe trotting...Brunch at the Crab Cab. We saw when the place first opened and said then, we will have to try the place out. We were surprised they had a brunch menu. Everything from Burgers to Lamb chops. The place is mid size, not very huge inside...actually quite intimate. Variety of drinks from yhe bar and a broad array of mimosas to compliment lunch. I had the lamb chops as my main meal I requested the chops which came with eggs and potatoes. No egg whites were available, the potatoes were ok...seem like they may have been pre cooked and left on a heater to stay warm...lukenwarm when they arrived. I requested the lamb medium cooked...overall, there 5/6 chops on the plate....the cooking of the chops were uneven, I ate two which were ok, I had to leave the others on the plate ...rare versus medium. The service was outstanding with the waitress offering to redo the lamb. The ambience was light banter with soft background music. The Bronzini was the winning dish, it was well presented and tasted fantastic. read more

Grabs Sign, Holds it High! Customer Service is Important! My best friend is a restaurateur in Miami and the restaurant business is HARD! I know this first hand. When I go into any restaurant, I want to feel appreciated, loved, and welcomed. Crab Cab is in a shopping center in a random, location in Capital Heights, Maryland. For this to be so small, it's stunningly gorgeous! Host upon arrival was sweet! Very welcoming personality! That is where the personality ended, right at the door! With at least 4 employees standing around at the bar, we sat for a good 5 minutes just observing the beauty of the restaurant. It wasn't until a gentleman yelled to the bartender's and yelled out our table number. He gave eye contact and stated someone would be with us. As we sat waiting, my significant other noticed a female with long hair in the kitchen touching food. That was off putting, sanitation people! Ew! When the bartender finally came over she was scripted. You know when you can tell people love their jobs and want to be there, yeah, this was not the feeling! Let's Get Into It! Charbroiled Oysters - Met Expectations- Good! Lamb Chops - Met Expectations- Good! Salmon topped with Crab - Met expectations but the topping of crab was more like a crab cake. The salad that came with it was drenched in dressing, I literally had to dab my napkin on lettuce to get someone if off. It was too much. Overall, it's good. Glad I came but with every other restaurant in the DMV with a similar menu it will be a one and done for me! I came, I saw, I conquered! read more

Crab Cab - Fried Oysters In Shell - Seafood Near Me - Capitol Heights, Maryland

I am a fan of nice places being added to my neighborhood. This place is located in a fairly popular shopping center (with limited parking). The parking and some of the table placements inside are odd. They are making a small space work for them. Outside of parking and a few odd table placements, I LOVE this place. I ordered the lamb chops, brussle sprouts, and mac & cheese and it was GOOD. I came here with my bestie since we both live close and wanted to grab dinner. We shared an order of seafood egg rolls as well. I was impressed with it all. This place isn't cheap so it's not an every day occurrence for me, but I will be frequenting the establishment. Perfect intimate dinner date spot. No complaints on the service either, but nothing overwhelming either. read more

Crab cab has a lot of potential - glad there another option for dining and drinks in the Ritchie Station area. Overall, the spot is fairly small but I appreciate how they have both indoor and outdoor seating options with a bar that spans both the interior and exterior seating. Really nice touch and just about doubles the number of available bar seats in total. The restaurant has a sleek and modern feel; the decor and styling elevate the space. The good: 1) The food was awesome; I had the seafood spring rolls + shrimp po boy. The spring rolls, along the accompanying dipping sauce, were the starts of the day - I'd get those again for sure. The po boy had good flavor but they do see to do a "deconstructed" po boy. The flavor and cook of the shrimp was good but I wish they had build it as a more traditional sandwich. The seasoned fries that came with the po boy were PERFECT. 2) Ambiance and atmosphere. Great spot for small families, couples, or singles of all ages to grab a bite. They had some nice RnB playing and I appreciated the elevated feel of the spot 3) They offer brunch! Several options on a weekend brunch menu (11-3p Saturday/Sunday). Could totally see myself trying that. Could improve: 1) The outside seating area was a little stuffy (on a sunny Saturday afternoon). The weather was pleasant out, but we could've used a ceiling or standing fan to create some airflow. 2) Service was a little on the slower side. The restaurant was semi crowded, maybe 70% full, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt - but we did notice a couple times that we were waiting to see our server or receive our food. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday evening as we were staying at a nearby hotel. Immediately got 2 seats at the lovely bar area. Restaurant is small and very nicely decorated. Had a delicious glass of their house cab and ordered several apps to share. They were delivered to us one at a time so we could enjoy each one as it was hot from the kitchen. They were perfectly cooked and delicious. We had the seafood spring rolls, the crab puffs and the blackened scallops. I would highly recommend all of them. Music was a bit loud at the bar area for my taste but not loud enough to distract from a wonderful experience. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely eat here again read more

Okay so first things first, the parking lot. I'm going to just go ahead and say it... it sucks. Crab Cab is located in the middle of a shopping center, including a Starbucks, with a fairly heavy drive-thru, and other stores including USPS and Mezah - spots that typically only need 10-15 minute parking. So upon arriving, parking is a little hassle. My friend, her son and I arrived around noon on Saturday and were seated immediately. Within the hour and a half that we were there, seating FOR SURE changed to a heavier amount. This weekend in particular must've been a hot weekend because there was at least 2-3 different birthday parties (tables of more than about 6). And understandably, the music/vibe in here also give very much... celebration. Now, again.. the place is cute. The server's are fairly attentive. But let's also mention that "fairly attentive" is a loose-statement because that 18% gratutity, is included in your bill. Not really sure if I can blame the numerous birthday tables present, or if the restaurant was just that slow, but it did indeed that our table of two and a child, nearly 45 minutes to get our order of fries, salmon lunch special with two sides (her broccolini was wilted), and catfish lunch special with also, two sides. For the wait, the food was not worth it. The spinach seafood dip came with some pretty impressive chips that I think are made in house. But overall, I don't think I would return to Crab Cab. There are plenty of various crab houses in the surrounding DMV area, you can pick another one with quicker service, making that 18% tip a little bit more palpable, and.... save the parking hassle. read more

I will start by saying the restaurant is beautifully decorated! The parking lot can be a little tight depending on the time you go. I had two experiences so I'll discuss both. I went in on a weekday, and was able to check out the restaurant it wasn't too busy, staff was friendly and the food came out in about 15 mins. The food was great. I went back a second and ordered carry out and the portions were definitely smaller than what you get when you eat in. Almost like they were just throwing the food in the box because it was busy. Personally whether I am ending in or not I expect the same service and definitely the same amount of food because the price does not change. Overall, the food was pretty good but this is a place I would only eat in at if I go back. I do encourage you check your food prior to leaving. read more

Where do I start? Everything was tasty. It was a beautiful day and we sat outside at the bar to enjoy Happy Hour. We started with drinks, both delicious and well balanced. (S/O our bartender). The manager also saw me recording content and offered me some of their shrimp & grits and OMG...it was the best. I'm not a fan of shrimp & grits at all but I'd go there and order that as a meal, delicious. Then we ordered a bunch of food from the HH menu. Faves: The seafood oysters were delicious. They were cheesy and full of seafood pieces. We ordered the full order and not from the HH menu and I'm so glad we did! We also ordered the crabcake sliders & the crab spinach dip which were both good! Not so faves: The shrimp basket & catfish bites were fried nicely but weren't anything special. They tasted how you'd expect them too. I wasn't a fan of the fries at all (I consider myself a fry connoisseur) but they tasted air fried. All in all, I can't wait to go back for maybe brunch next time or HH again. read more

One of the few places in PG with outside seating to the bar. The drink was delicious and the food was pretty good. The jerk wings didn't taste like jerk but I enjoyed the spinach dip. The second time I came here I was really disappointed because they arbitrarily closed the kitchen an hour early. It was only 8pm and they mentioned they close early when it's slow. For that, I went down a star. I'll definitely be back though. read more

Crab Cab - Triple B cocktail - Seafood Near Me - Capitol Heights, Maryland

I've tried the Alexandria location but somehow I forgot there was a Maryland location and when I was reminded I couldn't wait to check it out. Visited on a Friday and the place was jumping. I was hoping to take advantage of happy hour, but by the time I arrived, the bar was packed. Definitely need a reservation because of the size. I was seated as soon as I arrived. There was an upbeat atmosphere... music playing, and the servers were very friendly. While I waited for a friend, I ordered the triple B cocktail and water. To my surprise, I had the option of Saratoga bottled still water which is one of my faves. Both were quite refreshing. Once my friend arrived, we ordered the crab and shrimp spinach dip and the charbroiled oysters. The oysters were tasty, and the dip was out of this world. It was so good we thought about getting another order but then felt we were being little piggish. Although we were stuffed, we had to try something else so we thought we could share the seafood quesadilla with the salmon removed (because of my fish allergy) but it became a to-go order. One of the things I enjoy about dining experiences is when my leftovers reheat well the next day and this was the case for the seafood quesadilla. So yes, I will be returning and planning to take advantage of happy hour which means to either try a less busy afternoon or arrive at the very start of happy hour. I just love strategic planning. read more

I have been eyeing this place for quite a bit. I tried to go with my parents one night, and it was completely packed. And on our way out, a security guy showed up... it gets like that huh? Anyways, I returned the next day during the afternoon... it was right after brunch ended, and would you believe it was still full in there? That place is tight! I was on the way to a friend's house and I was early, so I decided to make a stop for food. I literally got the last seat at the bar, where I received a menu fairly quickly. I decided to try a crab quesadilla and the crab bisque to go, while I sipped on a margarita (in honor of the day, of course). They didn't have any special deals for the day -- they don't even have margaritas on the menu (that I saw lol), but they were able to make one. It was quite delicious! I received my food in a reasonable time, and then I headed to my friend's. I absolutely loved the quesadilla... hefty and delicious. I even dipped it in the crab bisque -- which was supposed to come with a butter roll that was nowhere to be found :(. If I didn't have the quesadilla I would've been unhappy, but it was fine... but come on haha. I plan to return soon -- but seriously it's TIGHT in there. Be wary if you have a large party. read more
