I've only been to this location and for happy hour so I can only speak on my experience from those two things. The happy hour food and drink options are great. The food comes out fast. There's so many options where you can actually leave full. Now the service that's another story. It is slow! The manager who has been there every time I have went is great. He understands he has a shortage of staff and jumps right into help. We know what we're getting when we go.

Grilled Lamb Chops

A wonderful evening at Crab Cab for dinner. We had a large party and the staff went above and beyond to take care of us. All the apps we ordered, entrees, and desserts had great flavors. The restaurant itself is cozy and they have a great outdoor seating area. Highly recommend visiting this location. Their brussel sprouts and mac and cheese were my favorite sides.

Island Pasta

We decided to check out this location prior to the R&B tour. The location was prime because it is close to the stadium. Also. I wanted to check out the brick and mortar after eating from the food truck for years. The brick and mortar did not disappoint. The food was truly delicious. I ordered the fried catfish with the sautéed spinach and mashed potatoes. The food was seasoned to perfection and the cocktails were definitely potent also the service was top tier. Very attentive staff and great customer service. The ambiance is a really dim vibe, laid back and chill. In addition to the catfish, we tried other delights such as gumbo, seafood spring rolls, island, pasta, and the charbroiled oysters. You should definitely check this place out, but because it is not very big you should make a reservation to ensure seating. You won't be disappointed.

It's a really quaint and cozy spot in the area. The server was fairly good but it did take awhile for food to be ready. The best thing was the share spinach dip. My pasta dish needed more seasoning.

Great suburban meet up and hang out spot! I was surprised to stumble on this place and meet up with some friends for a happy hour. I came here to meet up with some friends for a quick happy hour and a few appetizers. The drinks were strong, and the food was really fresh, good! I tried the crab balls and the blackened scallops. I was quite impressed on how fresh everything was and how the food was prepared, including the presentation. The food was on point, great, and the drinks are top-notch..... a winner! Well seasoned seafood eats, and the like...like chicken tenders and main big dishes....like grilled salmon plates, broiled fished and salads. I tried the crab balls and blackened scallops. Both dishes were super fresh and really good...most of all seasoned. The crab balls alone was loaded with lump crab meat. I only wish that they included 3 crab balls instead of two considering the price. Other than this, I highly recommend a stop or visit here. Looking forward to trying more dishes and a return visit.

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.

Honey-Glazed Brussels Sprouts
Breanne R.

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.

My shrimp basket after eat some
Tamara S.

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.

Menu

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.

Blue Berry Smash
Jessica U.

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.

Crab & Shrimp Spinach Dip
Dominique M.

My and a couple of friends were looking for a spot in the area that had crab dip so we tried here. The place is very cute but is super small. The staff was very friendly. I had the lamb chops Oscar style. They were pretty good. My friend had the lobster pasta, it was like an Asian Lo mein style pasta , but it was really delicious. The spring rolls were pretty good as well. The star of the show was the crab dip. It was so good that we got a total of three orders of it. I also had the triple b cocktail, if u like lavender I will love it. For dessert I got the strawberry crunch cheesecake and that was really good as well. Overall this is a great choice.

Homeboys Seafood - XL crabs ( so meaty and fresh ) and than sauce is definitely rated #1 in the area hands down !!!

" Where would I be without my Homeboys !!" High pace, good vibes and great crabs... Homeboys…read moreSeafood may not WOW some people, but trust me when I tell you, the XL and Large Male crabs can hold their own with anybody. The size matches the weight class and the meat is fresh and truly represents crab season ( crab lovers understand the difference fresh crabs makes ) And if you're more of a crab legs over crabs type person.... No problem, Homeboys got you covered. You can pick your own crab legs and they'll do the rest. Now make sure against all odds that you grab their crab sauce.... They hands down have the best crab sauce in the DMV area and beyond. It's absolutely impossible to find good crab sauce, but Homeboys have perfected the mix !!!!

We were craving a quick bite before dinner, and my partner suggested this spot since he knows I…read morelove fried foods and seafood. Walking in, the big-screen menus and a slideshow of menu items had me wanting to try everything. The place was clean, and it was clear that employees are there to work. I had to hold back from ordering what my heart desired. I ordered lemon pepper wings and popcorn shrimp. While waiting, I noticed all the crab legs and fresh fish, and I found myself thinking, "Forget dinner plans--let's get a family feast!" The staff were very kind and patient, and they followed my request for extra crispy chicken. My only gripe was that I couldn't pay extra to get all flats. When our food arrived, we wasted no time digging in. The flavors were on point, and the popcorn shrimp exceeded my expectations. I was thoroughly pleased. Next time I'm visiting from Cali, this will be one of my first stops.

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.

So I tried to order today because of a review on IG. According to the IG, they are open at the…read moreBaltimore and temple hills locations... ALL DAY EVERYDAY. The page only has links for you to online order from the Baltimore locations though. Once I arrive, the door is locked with a sign to call for pick up order. I call and am greeted with "Hello" and that's it. So I ask if this is Lula Mae's stating that I'd like to place an order. I was then told they only do DoorDash or uber eats orders. 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.
