Well, this is my last review of 2025 and what a better place to conclude this year than Big Mikes…read moreCrabhouse ! We decided to stop in here as it's been a while since we last started here and the seafood is simply outstanding. The staff is very welcoming helpful and they will answer any questions that you may have and they make sure you're well taken care of. We had a pound and a half of the steam shrimp which are an extremely nice size and done to perfection and we also had the crabcake and two fried shrimp which were butterfly and the flavor is just incredible and the crabcake all crab and it was just amazing . The location is very easy. It's right next to the Hanover post office on the corner. There's plenty of parking along the street and in the back in their small parking lot and they are known for their crabs and there were people coming and left and right picking up their orders and they do a really nice business here. The inside is always very clean. Tables are clean and it's a small place but it's very relaxing and you can bring your own bottle as well. So if you're in the area and you're looking for some good crabs, shrimp and seafood give this place a try you will not be disappointed . Happy New Year !

Happy New Year's Eve at Big Mike's Crabhouse!!! The food was absolutely amazing! From the onion…read morerings, crabcake, that is full of crab meat, the fried shrimp, and the fresh freshly steamed shrimp, were just all so very delicious!!! This place in Hanover is very well known for their seafood, and by the pictures, you can see why. Everyone there is so very nice and accommodating. This is not a fancy place, you can go dressed very casually and enjoy all kinds of seafood. If you wish to, you can take your own adult beverage to enjoy with your meal. We saw a couple sitting next to us that brought their own beer. They could enjoy while they were cracking their crabs! my husband ordered a pound and a half of the large steamed shrimp that are served to you hot and with their own cocktail sauce, they were so big we could not even finish all of them, so we brought them home to enjoy today. We will be returning soon as we really enjoy the seafood here!!!!!!

You'd be hard pressed to find bartenders like these who support each other without undermining the other, these two acted as a united, professional team. Best bartenders in town, by far. Food from the kitchen was also excellent, and they quickly corrected a minor error when one of our orders didn't get communicated. The lighting at night with candles provides a relaxing ambiance combined with live music, I highly recommended this place for anyone seeking a quality experience. It's not cheap, but the experience is top tier because the employees who work there give a damn.

Just an okay experience. Went with a chicken burger, which was serviceable. The brussel sprouts I…read morehad as a side were also alright. Quite a good selection of drinks. Definitely a solid meal, but Avalon didn't do anything to impress me.

It was not. Crab cake had a sour taste, old crab scent. Meatloaf, was thinking it would be like Appalachian Brewery, it was not. Small slice with a smoked bbq sauce and melted mozzarella. It just wasn't good. The website is not updated so the menu doesn't match. I had high hopes as it was an anniversary for my wife and I. Both of us were sorely disappointed.

I didn't get any drinks, but my friends really enjoyed the beers here. Food was not the best. I personally enjoyed my coconut curry chicken, but my friends weren't impressed with their food, notably the sourdough bread on the sandwiches and the chicken pot pie being particularly unimpressive. If you come, stay clear of the sourdough and pot pie but the beer is good!

It was such a bad experience. I can't give them another try if the bathroom bad I imagine what the kitchen looks like. My next letter is to the handover health department simply trying to save a life my suggestion you know come here no more.!

When we walked in we discovered they're were two dinning rooms, the one in the front was a 1970ish country diner like ambience while I back was a much larger rrom with a more folksy contemporary ambience. The service was prompt and friendly. Thecoz was very good. I got the liver which was smothered in a rich flavorful beef gravy with lots of chopped onion and bacon. The mashed potatoes were made fresh , not instant, and delicious. My wife got the roasted chicken which she said was really juicy and delicious. We both got broccoli salad with was finely chopper broccoli florets with a nice tangy mayo based dressing...really tasty. The prices are very reasonable. Lots of parking. Overall a very pleasant experience.

We got some tiramisu to go and it was out of this world. I will definitely go back again for another dinner night!

Chef Tony prepared our meals quickly and to our liking with speedy precision. He takes his time but his time is short. He cares about giving you the highest quality meal you have ever had. Every time I eat at a restaurant I think: this isn't as good as Chef Tony's. I still talk about this place to friends and family almost a year later. That is the effect it will have on you. Place was clean other than the men's bathroom, But, what can you expect from people constantly exploding ( insert bodily fluids here) in there. If I was president this is where I would be coming to eat. But listen yall. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the Life. He will never give up on you. Put your 100% faith in him and you will not be disappointed. Have a good day chef Tony. Good Alfredo
