Delicious popcorn shrimp appetizer. We've been to Crabby Maggie's previous location. This is our first time visiting their new location. We ordered takeout. Great service with a smile. Nicely decorated and more spacious interior.

This weekend we ventured north on Route 11 in Virginia through the Shenandoah Valley for the "Route 11 Yard Crawl" - a 40+ mile route of yard sales, flea markets and vendors! While there were plenty of food trucks, we found this spot on Yelp and had to go! We were not disappointed!! We got the crab dip with pretzels to start, then the Crabby Jim sandwich and the Crab Mac'n Cheese - all were exceptional!! The place was super busy, but we were able to sit pretty quickly and waitstaff were very friendly and accommodating. Cute indoor seafood restaurant decor and nice outside seating too. Menu includes a variety of seafood and non-seafood options. Many things I wanted to try! Hushpuppies were spot on too!! The owner stopped by and chatted several times. We will go back! Check this spot out! #deitzeatz

Single crab cake and double fries

This place has such good food! We came out of town from Baltimore and the food is delicious. We also had cream of crab soup that was really good! Also the employees and manager are so kind. Highly recommend!!!

Crusty Mac -- Crabcake, white cheddar, bacon, and mozzarella bake. Delicious!

Food was delicious and the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. Would recommend when visiting Strasburg!

Fried Cod
Beau A.

If I was to tell you it was wonderful it would be grossly inadequate. This was life altering. The crab is the jewell of the State of Virginia. The fried cod was what we've been looking for since we moved out to the Eastcoast from TX four years ago. This place rocks. And the staff is super friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is homey, welcoming and feels like you're over toward the coastline. AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!!

Fish and chips with green beans
Lia B.

Led here by Yelp while driving to DC. What a great find! Seating inside and outside on the patio. Felt very much like having dinner with friends in this mostly locals spot. Hubby & I had fish and chips: his with hush puppies and mine with green beans. Hushpuppies were crunchy outside and buttery smooth inside. Fish was cooked perfectly (done without being dry). Son had blackened Mahi with real onion rings and green beans (he ate too fast for a picture). Mahi was crusted with Cajun spices and was very juicy. Be aware: Portions are HUGE! Service was attentive making sure no cup was emptied. We were tickled to find sweet tea. The restaurant was playing vintage blues music which was the cherry on top of this affordable and tasty meal.

We were stuck in traffic on I81 and decided to hop off the exit at Strasburg and grab a bite to eat. We found this adorable restaurant and were greeted by Maggie herself, she was a delight. We had a fabulous time and the food was amazing. The hush puppies were the best we have ever had and the crab cakes were out of this world according to my husband. I had the gulf shrimp and onion rings, can't wait to have those again! We took the peach cheesecake home and it was delicious! We can't wait to return, we have found a new favorite restaurant!

Calamari

I wanted to like this place so bad but I was severely disappointed. The space is very small and the food is awful. I'll break this down by each item we ordered: Crab fries: overly seasoned fries with what appeared to be a mayo based sauce and COLD crab meat. This was the most unpleasant menu item that we tried. Calamari: you can tell these are premade, frozen and shipped and then they just drop them in a fryer. Small and super rubbery and served with the same super mayonnaisey Cajun sauce as the crab fries were. Burger: premade, frozen and reheated hamburger patty that was not quality at all. Shrimp Po boy: ON A HAMBURGER BUN?! Shredded lettuce and that same tired Cajun sauce (this sauce was on EVERY SINGLE ITEM WE ORDERED) White cheddar mac and cheese: watery, no flavor and probably came from a box. You could not pay me to return.

Crabby Maggie's is very quaint. They will be moving to a new location on Tuesday. The food was delicious! We loved the hush puppies. Our server was amazing. We will definitely come back.

Note: I am a crab cake connoisseur. I eat them all over the country and here is my opinion based on…read moremy tastes and experiences (I travel the country and try to find local places like this to try... I've eaten crab cakes all over including several famous MD crab cakes and I work at a fresh seafood market where we make our own crab cakes. So when I say I know my crab cakes.... I know my crab cakes. Talk of the mountain: this is a super cute and friendly small restaurant located on Main Street. It is very local friendly and the kind of place the staff/owners would know your name and your regular order. I LOVE that. The staff are warm and inviting. You can watch them breading your food and chat with them as you eat. I loved watching. We got the crab cake with fried oysters and shrimp plate with Mac n cheese and fries and hush puppies and another fried shrimp plate with their slaw. It was pretty pricey but we expected that when buying quality seafood. The fried shrimp were absolutely incredible as were the fried oysters (minus the pearl my son found in the one he ate... but again not too much of a surprise). The taste was great, the cook time was perfect, they were delicious! The fries were seasoned and tasty as were the hush puppies (nothing to scream about but definitely good!) the slaw was good (according to my son... I'm not a slaw person). The Mac n cheese was definitely different but not exactly mind blowing. I felt indifferent I didn't love it and feel like I needed it tomorrow, but it wasn't bad. I honestly didn't have an opinion either way on it but I did eat it. The crab cake. The good: this was literally packed with crab meat. Obviously we seek out places that Jam Pack their crab cakes with actual pieces of quality lump crab. Talk of the Mountain certainly does this.... In my opinion to the extreme. When they say zero fillers, they MEAN IT. So does zero fillers make a good crab cake? In my opinion not this way. It was not my cup of tea and I love crab and crab cakes (obviously). It seemed like their formula for the binder was a mustard based concoction and then it was solid crab. The flavor left a lot to be desired and it didn't feel like eating crab cake because there was no filler at all. Making crab cakes is such a delicate balance, a true art in my opinion and while TOTM most definitely is serious about ensuring you taste the crab in their "cakes" the end result was more of a pile of lump crab with a sauce. All that being said I would absolutely eat there again. They were fabulous and I truly applaud their style. This is just my personal perspective from the one visit. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area! Rating: my knee jerk is to give this a 4 because I really am not a fan of the Crabcake and would not order it again, however everything else and the people were 10 stars so I feel like a 5 star rating is deserved. If they ever modified their recipe I would try it again happily AND will def eat there again. The shrimp and oyster was phenomenal.

We've had plenty of bad experiences with Chinese buffet seafood making us feel sick--pretty sure I'm not the only one--but that has never happened here. The food is always freshly steamed and served hot when you order. I'm not a big fan of overly salty, heavy American-style seasoning, so I really appreciate that they can prepare it without all that. Also, my daughter doesn't eat much seafood, but they're flexible and let us order something simple like a mozzarella stick for her, which is a huge plus. Yes, there's an 18% gratuity for parties of 5 or more, but it feels fair for the quality and service. The gumbo you can order on the side is amazing, and the crab legs, mussels, clams, and shrimp are all fresh and delicious. It's $58.99 per person, which isn't cheap, but definitely worth it. Highly recommend.

The service was also thorough and professional, which made the experience even better. The portions are huge, so I'd recommend coming with more people to really try a variety of dishes and make the most of it. We live about 40 minutes away, so it would probably be more of an occasional treat for us, but if you're ever in the area, it's worth checking out.
