The dip was not as creamy as I expected which was disappointing. I also had the calamari but unfortunately it seemed like it was just a few pieces mixed with other vegetables or food. read more

Crab Cab - Crab and shrimp dip on Happy Hour - Seafood Near Me - Capitol Heights, Maryland

This is great restaurant add for the area. The interior is beautiful. The service was great starting with the hostess to the wait staff and bartenders. I had a very good pineapple drink. I ordered fried catfish and seasoned fries. I didn't care for the taste of the catfish so I switched to the fried shrimp. I came to the conclusion that I do not like the batter used. I'm definitely going back to try something different. read more

Fantastic Unexpected Experience at CrabCab - Capitol Heights, MD I recently visited CrabCab thinking I'd get the classic Maryland crab feast--but I was pleasantly surprised to find their menu is way broader than I expected, and in the best way. From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed by the friendly staff and the neighborhood-vibe atmosphere. I ordered a pasta dish (and a few appetizers) rather than the whole crab setup. The appetizers were a great start: the seafood spring rolls and crab & shrimp spinach dip were flavorful and well-executed. The pasta was delicious--rich sauce, generous seafood, perfectly cooked. The menu really showcased how versatile the place is. (And yes, they do have amazing crab-centric items too for next time.) Highlights: *The seafood spring roll tasted fresh and crisp, a lighter appetizer choice. *The crab & shrimp spinach dip had great depth--cheesy, decadent, with the right seafood pop. *My pasta was cooked spot‐on and had a nice, comforting feel. *Staff was attentive, polite, and clearly cared about making sure we enjoyed the meal. *The space felt chill but clean and, honestly, the kind of spot you'd go to for a fun dinner out. If you're in Maryland and looking for something beyond "just crabs," I highly recommend CrabCab. They deliver the crab-house classics and more creative seafood & comfort-food options. I'll definitely be back -- next time I'll try the crab cake platter or something more "crab-centric." Go hungry, be ready for great service, and enjoy the menu's surprises! read more

One random day, I went to UPS to make a return. While I was there, I struck up a conversation with a young lady who owned next door at this amazing establishment. She spoke so highly of the place that even though I was a little nervous I decided to give it a try. Let's just say... since my first visit, I haven't stopped coming back! The atmosphere and vibe are absolutely incredible. The customer service? Out of this world. The ladies and gentlemen working here are so kind, welcoming, and genuine. The staff truly are the face of the business and I love seeing the same familiar faces every time I visit. That consistency says a lot. Please keep up the phenomenal work from the hostess to the servers, bartenders, cooks, and even the busboys. You all contribute to making this place so special, and I appreciate every one of you. I can't say it enough: I absolutely love this establishment and will always return. P.S. Do yourself a favor and try the egg rolls, lamb chops, pasta, hush puppies, crab bisque, and more. You won't be disappointed! read more

New restaurant alert! The place is beautiful inside. The decor and low lighting make it perfect for date night or a nice chill outing. The music was good. Very 90s R&B. The food was really good. I had the Colossal Stuffed Shrimp with double broccolini because they were out of mashed potatoes. For my drink I got the Triple B which was also very good. They opened recently and the place is small so I HIGHLY recommend a reservation or waiting until it dies down as people were being turned away because it was so packed! They also had to turn off to go orders so the kitchen could catch up. PG County showed up and showed out. I'll definitely be back. read more

Per the name, seafood is the charm. Located within Ritchie Marketplace, this venue pairs grown n sexy (neutral decor and 90s rnb).....with delicious food and attentive service. I ordered a fried shrimp basket with substituted broccolini , instead of fries and my drink was a Sunset Beach (similar to a tequila sunrise). Minus somewhat of a wait to receive service, the experience was pleasant . The shrimp was seasoned well and seemed to be fried in fresh grease , which provided a light crunch. Meanwhile, the drink definitely packed a punch, so I'd recommend just one. The staff was very professional and matched the overall standard to the new establishment . read more

If you like seafood for your soul I highly recommend this spot! Great food and service. We had the charcoal grilled oysters served up the New Orleans style. I followed that up with French toast. All good options and my wife really liked her crab cake sandwich. read more

I arrived at Crab Cab and took a seat at the outside bar. I waited there for over 15 minutes before Imahn, the guy with twisted cornrows, approached me--not to take my order but to ask if he could have my menu for another customer. I politely declined, but mentioned that he could take my order since I had been waiting for so long. He then took my order, which included a happy hour blueberry margarita, seafood spring rolls, crab sliders, and a to-go order of seafood quesadillas. Ten minutes later, I received my spring rolls, and five minutes after that, the sliders arrived. However, at that point, I still hadn't received a place setting, which should have been provided as soon as I sat down at the bar. Fifteen minutes later, I finally got my drink--30 minutes after placing my order--and during all this time, no one checked in to see if I was okay or needed anything. After waiting 45 minutes from when I initially placed my order, I asked Imahn about my to-go order. He went to the register to check and then walked back to the kitchen. After a few minutes, he returned, and I inquired about my food. He explained that the kitchen was backed up due to a high volume of orders. I asked why that was the case, as I thought my order had been submitted at the same time as my other food. He paused and then claimed that he hadn't put it in yet. Essentially, he lied to me. Fifteen minutes later, he finally brought out my food, but I had to wait an additional 10 minutes for a printed receipt. At this point, I am beyond disappointed. It's disheartening to feel that I need to travel to Virginia or far from PG County to receive decent customer service. It seems that when restaurants include a tip in the bill, servers feel they don't need to provide good service. For this reason, Crab Cab will not be seeing me--or my money--again! read more

Crab Cab - Receipt - Seafood Near Me - Capitol Heights, Maryland

The restaurant and nicely decorated. I like that you can enjoy a drink in or outside the bar especially in summer weather. I selected my order to go in which the host takes your order. I was greeted fine. Regarding the food. Ordered the crab cake and disappointed. Just looked like a heap of mess on a grilled old bun. I paid $4 extra for broiled which overall was underwhelming in presentation as well as taste. read more

Was really looking forward to dining here. I made reservations a month in advance for my friend and I to catch up Friday 1/17 at 7:30pm. Walking in the energy was off. The restaurant appeared to be over capacity. The two women at the hostess stand faces were frowned up and rolling their eyes at everyone entering. I let them know I had a reservation and was told "oh well we ain't got not tables right now". I said even though I have a reservation. She replied "Yeah everyone in here had a reservation for either 6:30 or 7:30. If you want your reservation the wait is 45 mins". Totally unacceptable. I cancelled my reservation and went elsewhere. This encounter completely turned me off from this establishment. read more

I'm from California, and whenever my boyfriend and I travel, we love trying different restaurants. This one is by far some of the best food in town! We had the crab bisque and it's hard to find a good bisque but I absolutely loved it. We also ordered the seafood spring rolls (bomb!) and the crab & shrimp spinach dip, which was also GREAT. The drinks were on point, and last but definitely not least, the lamb chops... hands down the best I've ever had. And I can't forget the amazing service provided by Ashley truly outstanding. Amazing all around. 10 STARS! read more

Food was good. Drinks were good. Atmosphere is great. It's a nice cozy spot. Good fora date night.

my go to local spot for a good meal & cocktail. the food quality & service are both excellent.

I'm torn. A buddy and I went on a Friday evening out of curiosity and hunger. The space is nice. Both great for the fellas to congregate at the bar or to sit and enjoy a night out. The music is an added bonus. Kudos to the cook. The food presentation was dope and it tasted good. We ordered the seafood egg-rolls for an app, then the catfish and the stackanator dinners. Both delicious (but the crab cake was pretty small for the oversized bun). I did appreciate the cook checking on us more than once. The challenge was that our waitress seemed great at first. However, multiple times we looked up and she was seated with other customers which led us to have to either wait or ask someone else for assistance. The two tables beside us seemed to encounter the same issue. One table actually did not like any of their food. At one point, the manager assisted us because he could see that our waitress was not attentive. Then in another moment, the chef and the waitress approached the table at the same time. The waitress started a convo with the table next to us which forced the chef to help us. The biggest issue is that no one seemed bothered by her lack of service and it was never corrected. I believe this could be a good spot, but just needs better service. I hope this is fixed. read more

Loved it! The decor was beautiful. Food was good. A bit pricey but worth it. I felt comfortable in my overalls but would come in with my Easter Sunday best too!

Will definitely be back to sit at that outside bar for happy hour. Loved it!!! read more

If the pic doesn't show, trust me when I say this place is a hidden gem. Kinda wish it stays like it but I want them to have all the success they deserve.

Crab Cab - Seafood Near Me - Capitol Heights, Maryland

I went to try this place last night and LOVED IT!! The service was great, friendly and fast. Our server Britt gave us great recommendations on what to try when we couldn't decide. The ambiance of the restaurant was very inviting! Had us feeling as if we were in tulum And the playlist was amazinggggg. I had the shrimp and crab spinach dip for an appetizer and the shrimp basket for my entree. Probably the best fried shrimp I've had in a while. It was seasoned well and was not salty (I despise the taste of salt). My only recommendation for those going is to get a reservation!!! The space isn't as large as your average restaurant so wait times can get lengthy if they are busy, which they were when we went for dinner. read more

The area is very tight however, they have some of the best crab dip Ive ever had in my life, PERIOD.

Tight little spot. Nice decor, but the service is iffy. Had a reservation for 2pm, they said they were running behind and we'd have to wait, so we sat at the bar. Took almost 15-17 minutes until we got the 1 bartender's attention to ask for a glass of water and a cocktail. The food was decent.. the catfish was decently seasoned but the Brussel sprouts were possibly the best part of the meal. They sure enough lied about them "seasoned fries".. wasn't not a lick of any seasoning on them bland potato sticks..I even asked the bartender if these were the "seasoned" fries, she told me "yes, they're seasoned." They definitely seemed to be short staffed and overwhelmed with the amount of patrons coming in. For those prices, they need to step their service and seasoning game up. read more

The food was very good. I had the shrimp Poboy. I loved that it was seasoned well and filled to the brim with shrimp. The special sauce for the shrimp and the fries was excellent. The restaurant has a nice vibe, but it is quite small inside. The drinks are pretty pricy. Our waitress was very nice; however, it took awhile to bring out waters and we had a few mixups with drinks. I had a good experience overall until the end when a manager or owner rushed us off the table. I understand the need to flip tables especially for incoming reservations, but there is a way to communicate that to customers without coming off rude and rushing us out. She could have alerted us of the time limit when we initially sat down or gave us a 15min heads up before we had to get up. That last interaction left a bad impression on my entire party and I most likely won't be back. However, I encourage others to try this place out for themselves. read more

Hubby and I were looking for somewhere local to eat for a quick and casual date night. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by the hostess who asked if we had a reservation. We informed her that we did not, however, she was still able to seat us in less than 5 minutes. For a Friday night, that was a plus! Once seated, it took about 10-15 minutes for anyone to come and offer us water and take our drink orders. I ordered a mango lemonade, and it was honestly way too sweet. I didn't even finish it. We skipped appetizers, and for our main courses, I ordered The Stacker which is a no filler crab cake, with 2 sides. I chose broccolini and mashed potatoes as my sides. The potatoes were good, but the broccolini was undercooked and unseasoned. The crab cake itself looked good, but was entirely too salty, and was difficult to enjoy given the amount of crab shells in it. My husband ordered a medium rare ribeye steak with a double portion of broccolini. Instead, he received mashed potatoes with his order, and his steak was undercooked and more on the rare side. Luckily, he didn't mind, but other patrons may. The wait staff was semi-attentive. Our waitress checked on us periodically and asked if we wanted more water, but when we said yes, the water never came. Service is veryyy slow, so if you're in a hurry or just don't feel like waiting, I would try somewhere else, or go on a less busy night. We also both noticed that the owner (or manager) looked displeased the entire time. She was an older woman, and every time we saw her, she had a scowl on her face. The space is very small, but we loved the decor. Overall, I don't think that I would return to try other menu items. Service was very lackluster, and the food wasn't that good. For the price point, I expected better. read more

Food was amazing. Service was good as well. The place is pretty small on the inside but bigger than the one in Alexandria for sure. However, it's still nice and they built a bar on the outside. I will be back for sure! I always get the fried catfish with brussels sprouts and fries and it's always a hit! read more

Do not go!!! Don't waste your money or time. Worst service ever, staff rude, no personality. waited 1.5 hour for a pasta dish to come out. Waitress was unapologetic and unprofessional. Manager tried to remedy the situation but claimed his hands were tied and had no authorization to do much. Drinks took forever to come to the table. Will never return or recommend to anyone. I only gave a star because it required it to post review. Services is pure dog shit!!! read more

This place is nice, it's just too small inside. The first time my husband & I went together. We were able to get seated early but they sat us at a half booth/half table. The tables were super close together as if we were with the party next to us. When the waitress came to take their order, she squeezed in between the tables & her butt was resting on our table. My husband was like, "Let's go!" I agreed. They should have chosen a bigger location or a different layout for the restaurant. The second time I just ordered my food to go. I had a drink at the bar & that was amazing. Once I got home, the food was decent except the macaroni was dry & flavorless & they forgot to add my "Oscar style" topping to my lampchops. I would suggest going early to grab a seat at the bar & enjoy those good drinks made by Ashley (I think that's her name). That's it, that's all. read more

I was really disappointed with my experience at Crab Cab. The appetizers were good, but everything went downhill from there. My seafood quesadilla was terrible -- definitely not worth the money. On top of that, the service was awful. Our waiter never came to check on us, and I ordered an iced tea that I never even received. For the prices they charge, I expected much better. I won't be returning!! read more

All though the staff was nice the food is a different story. I ordered online and got to work just to throw the crabcake in the trash. Over seasoned with old bay and left me wondering where was the crab? I warmed it up a little in my own bowl so this picture is from my bowl not there container. Me i don't recommend. You can't advertise crab what you are known for and not have that perfected. read more

OMG NO don't do it... I have seen the reviews and said let me try it. Friday night called and they said we don't take orders over the phone. Placed my order online ordered lamb chops, steak and pasta. I ordered and paid a up charge for Mac and cheese and Mash potatoes. Arrived to pick my order up the host said we are out of mash potatoes and Mac and cheese and so I asked what happen to my up charge since those items cost more " we can't refund you did it online". So basically brought food paid for food I didn't get and to top it off it was gross. Steak was okay, pasta no sauce, and lamb chops were gamey. See pictures save your money they won't last in PG county especially with that service and taste and charging people For something they didn't get. One and done!! read more

Went here back in April ( 2025) Seafood egg rolls were really good! Everyone enjoyed their food, my island pasta coulda been better if it was seasoned a bit better, kinda bland even though visually looks very good. Service was good and music was GREAT, if you're 90's,2000's and today's r&b fan you'll definitely catch a vibe. The inside is cute, i really love how they designed their bar. read more
