    Seafood Trio Salad
    LaTia S.

    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.

    My shrimp basket after eat some

    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.

    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.

    The food, the service and the vibe. I will be back again. DEFINITELY! This place is a definite visit.

    Brussel sprouts with a side of metal! YUM

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    lobster thai chili noodles
    Monet H.

    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!

    Stuffed salmon & honey glazed brussel sprouts.
    Don B.

    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.

    Lamb Chops Mac & Cheese Brocolini
    Rachel B.

    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.

    Melody A.

    Everything was delicious! As soon as the food was prepared it was served immediately to the table. They have some great food and cocktail options. Plus the music is on point. They have indoor and outdoor seating and we were received as soon as we walked in. Plus the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cheesecake is a guest favorite. Enjoy!

    Crab topped salmon@ Crab Cab!
    Spencer H.

    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!

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.

    This review is for the location inside the skating rink but I'm going to share it here as well…read more First, maybe it's my fault for ordering from this location inside of a skating rink because what I got was skating rink caliber food. I thought I was ordering from the other location. My bad! I can't believe she opened another location where she apparently has not improved on her business practices. I have ordered at this location and waited over an hour for my order. The food was STAMP just like Schlim said, but the wait is just ludicrous. So the couple times I went there after I just packed my patience. This evening I needed to grab some food quickly before heading to an event. I had no idea what I wanted. Open up the app and LMG popped up. I ordered for pickup on Uber Eats. When I arrived, almost an hour after I placed the order, they said they needed a "couple minutes" after she went over and finally looked at it. They do not check the app orders. They have no business dealing with anything not right in front of them. They can barely handle that! That couple minutes turned into an hour. I had to finally go up to the counter when I saw other people getting their food quickly. That got the woman behind the counters attention. Because I think she forgot again. She apologized and said they had been swamped. Is that my problem? Then she tried to offer me a drink for compensation. Um, are we talking about the same drink I ordered and paid for. At that point I just wanted to go. Got home and opened the food. As long as it took, you would have thought it was freshly cooked. Everything looked like it had been sitting around all day. When I saw the turkey wings as a special, I knew I had screwed up. It was old. The gumbo greens were disappointing. They burned it and had the nerve to serve it to me as if I wouldn't notice. I have it sitting here with the lid on, the burnt smell keeps smacking me in the face. Here's the best part. The oxtail egg rolls did not taste freshly cooked. After I started eating the second one, I found these cooked inside. It's not edible or part of the stuffing It's definitely some kind of plastic. Disgusting. The turkey wings and Mac and cheese were barely edible. Especially the mac and cheese. I have eaten before at their other location and despite the extra long wait there too, the food was fresh and tasted great. No complaints there. So I was expecting food that would make it worth the wait. This time, they had the nerve to make me wait on barely edible food. Food that absolutely belonged inside of the bowling alley it's located in. Extremely disappointing. I won't ever be going back. I don't give my hard earned money to restaurants that waste my time and serve slop containing plastic to add insult to injury.

I stated that site isn't on the ig to place and order. I was told that if I type the business name in DoorDash or uber eats while I'm standing outside, it'll come up. I told the young gentleman to have a great day. He wasn't rude, but I won't be supporting this business. Something about this interaction didn't sit right with me. Really sucks, I've been wanting to try it out for a while, but it was further than I would drive to just pick up food and not have a seated dining experience.
