Today was my first time there and I had such a great experience. There was a huge line and we were…read moreasked if we would like to sit in the lounge as there were tables available and we obliged. The service was fantastic. There was only one server and a bartender, and there were a lot of patrons however she was so great. The table had shrimp cocktail (no lemon wedge ), crab balls, prime rib, potato salad, coleslaw, a crabcake sandwich (GIGANTIC), and crab imperial. Everything was delicious! We had to get dessert to go bc the portions were gigantic and we were FULL. The rice pudding and the strawberry cheesecake were EXCELLENT! 2 things: - the shrimp cocktail did not have lemon wedges. However, the cocktail sauce had such a good flavor with the right amount of horseradish, so that made up for the lack of lemon wedge. I know I probably could have asked for one, but it was just so good either way. - the au jus that came with the prime rib tasted like A1 steak sauce. I am used to a traditional au jus. However, the prime rib as AMAZING, it didn't need sauce!!!! The lounge area was like a typical bar with sports showing and betting on screen. It was welcoming and great. Thank you, Ramonia! I hope that is her name because that is what I just saw on the receipt. Everything came out fast. The service was excellent. Food divine. I am most definitely going again.

We definitely came hungry but when I say how those Incredulous CRAB CAKES won the game?! I only ordered one crab cake that I ate on for 2 days! The green beans were yummy too lol We also had (steak) fries that were yummy and mashed potatoes (meh). We also ordered dessert to go. The GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE was delicious!!! My friend's daughter took home the coconut cake and said it was YUMMY !!! I give CINDY 5 stars for making our dining experience FANTASTIC!! Otherwise, it was SUPER LOUD in the dining room. We could barely hear each other lol Oh sorry I didn't take pics! I was so hungry when the crab cakes arrived at the table that I just dug in lol

I've seen Pier 99 for years and after our plans fell through for Cinco De Mayo and needed to pivot…read moresomewhere close, lets grab a margarita at Pier 99. I was a first timer and she's been once before. Given the name, I figured it was a seafood restaurant. Although some seafood is on the menu, Pier 99 is primarily a Sushi/Asian food restaurant. I think a name change should be in order.. Lol! I literally had to switch up my taste buds to partake in some sushi! I ordered a seafood boil because I couldn't switch them up fast enough while she ordered sushi. I actually love the concept because so many people aren't sushi fans but most folks get down with seafood! The food was actually good and they pulled off both cuisines effortlessly! My margarita was as good as any chain Mexican restaurant, so that was additional plus given the Mexican holiday. The interior is on the smaller side, however, they offer booth seating and it has a decent size bar. If I lived in the Upper Marlboro/Bowie area like I used to, I'd come here often but since I don't, I'll occasionally stop in when I'm in the area! Good job Pier 99!

I know this place offers seafood and seafood boils but let's be honest if you're coming here,…read morethere's a good chance that you're here for the AYCE sushi! It's incredible! The pricing is great and it includes apps. The crab rangoons, mozz sticks, and gyoza are my favs! I enjoy the dinosaur roll and the crunchy roll as well! I would try other rolls bit a majority of them have avocado in them and I have an avocado allergy. Either way I find ways to get my moneys worth! Like ordering a lot of the sashimi especially the mackerel, red snapper, and white tuna!

Thurs., 6/18/26 Shout out to Heather ... AWESOME bartender…read more Nice, hearty drinks. Friendly enough. Definitely efficient. (Assumed she was an owner.) Totally enjoyed my Cadillac Margarita and only needed ONE. IYKYK. I respect their pay-as-you-go routine. Pretty unique and efficient. Typical bar food. Not a crab person so can't update you on that. However, I was a fan of my parmesan garlic wings (baked, not fried). Pics attached. Prefer Virginia locations but Crofton is growing on me. Would absolutely return.

The onlyyyyy reason Crab Shack cannot get 5 stars is because I can't find the logical reason as to…read morewhy I have to get up to order my food. For the amount of money that a party could spend on crabs, drinks, you name it, I think it is highly inappropriate for a server to not be attentive to the table as a whole - just not when they are dropping and leaving items at the table. A $100+ priced table I'm talking about. But aside from that, the food itself was delicious. Their calamari might be one of the best I've had in the state. Their grilled wings were delicious too, actually giving that named grilled flavor. 5 stars would've been great, but... come to my table to get your 5 stars. I would also think, that if someone is not coming to my table and ultimately looking for a tip to leave with, if there is nothing to tip for... I would think that the business as a whole, would lose traction - from server employment and satisfaction, to the overall Crab Shack income.

Their crab seasoning dip is delicious...yes I tasted the dip to see if it resembles the sauce my daughter makes at home for her crabs...and it does. I got my granddaughter the crab legs and they also look really good. Interesting this location doesn't seem to over season the crabs; however they provide a small container of old bay on the side. Still, if you like a lot of seasoning be sure to ask for extra. The interior was clean and didn't have a fishy smell I often dread in many restaurants that sell fresh seafood.

We walked in and felt welcomed immediately. The restaurant is unassuming from the exterior but when you walk in, you're in for a treat. We decided to sit at the bar, and it was just the vibe we needed. Low-key but friendly. Drinks: We arrived at the tail end of happy hour, which is two dollars off select drinks. We got two glasses of wine. Food: My husband got a Caesar salad and I got a house salad for starters. They were both good. I ordered the bacon and crab pasta, which was hearty. My husband got the salmon, which he also enjoyed. It's definitely a cute date spot or place to eat with the family. There's something for everyone.

The restaurant has been here for over a year, so it should be in full swing. It is NOT! The front of the house seemed disorganized in terms of greeting and seating. It appears that everyone pitched to seat and serve folks or everyone took turns on giving a newly arrived guest the side-eye for five to ten minutes before making any effort to do anything. As for the back of the house, I was informed that the kitchen had been overwhelmed by two large parties. But good cooks navigate through the rush. Additionally, tables remained full of dirty dishes for far too long, impacting seating opportunities for new patrons. Although, I suppose that was to deter further impact on a kichen that was overwhelmed. Often, the problem begins and ends with lack of good or simply sufficient staff. But with 20% gratuity included, perhaps there isn't any need to elevate their game. I'll leave it there. Now onto my personal saga, upon our arrival, the large parties that apparently wore out the kitchen were well into their entrees or desserts. We arrived at 7:10, for 7:15 reservation (making a reservation is stongly suggested, BTW). We had heard about the food and were happy to try it. But after waiting ten minutes to be given water and an additional five minutes to have our order taken, I am giving the side-eye to everything moving. Once the ordering was done I had "a whole thirty minutes" to take it all in. I only ordered an appetizer, jerk chicken eggrolls. And they were not very tasty--definitely not after thirty minutes of anticipation. Others in my family ordered catfish, cajun pasta and gumbo. All are popular dishes for this establishment. But each dish was presented in five minute increments, beginning at 7:45, which absolutely blew my mind. Everyone was pleased with their order though. Again, my thought is staffing isn't up to par in quantity or quality. Being advised of the kitchen being slowed by two large parties is common in a full restaurant. But there were only four additional tables being served after our arrival. Miss Toya's food may be wonderful, but if it takes a whole hour to get your meal, the piss-tivity due to the long wait takes your positive outlook away. I will not return.

WOW! Do not walk...you need to run here!…read more This restaurant was right near our hotel. We wanted crab while in Maryland, so this was the place! My family and I shared the crab casino which had Swiss cheese, bacon and garlic. I hate Swiss..but all the other flavors negated the strong Swiss flavor. This appetizer was absolutely delish and set the tone for the rest of the meal. They are known for their crab bombs, and we can see why! Think crab cake but so much more! My fiancé and I share the larger crab bomb, firecracker style. It's definitely large enough to share with two people. You would think firecracker style would be spicy, but its not. It was more of a peppery taste, but not overwhelming! It's also ALL crab! No fillers! It came with two sides. We chose the veggie of the day which was string beans and fries. All delish!! The fresh rolls and butter were also yummy. My fiancé also enjoyed his soda! It described it as being very crisp. Our waitress was Mixi!! She was AMAZING!! Do NOT sleep on the crab bomb! Order it.
