Parking was a bit of a challenge (they have a very small parking lot) and the wait was quite long (about 30-40 minutes) but it was totally worth it. I ordered Nick's Crab Dip and the Flash Fried Shrimp Platter. Both items were DELICIOUS! Paired with a refreshing cocktail, this was the perfect place for a Sunday Funday in Baltimore.

The crabs are hot and seasoned well. Only disappointment was the size. We wanted X-large crabs but they only had large and mediums. Unfortunately, the large crabs looked like medium sized crabs. Also, we tried the calamari and fish n chips however neither were seasoned. We also had some cocktails but they were watered down. So, if you decide to order a cocktail you may want to stick with something bottled. The only cocktail that was tasty was the Rum Punch.

I ate here a few times and had some of the best wings I ever had. They were fresh and crispy, and had this Old Bay Honey sauce which was quite amazing. The wings stayed crispy the entire time too. I would have loved to try the buffalo too just because the wings themselves were so good. The Creamy Crab Soup was also wonderful. A bowl was $13 but it was a good size, piping hot, and loaded with chunks of crab! So good... and something I wanted to be crabby! The Crab Cake was great too. It wasn't lump crab (nor did it claim to be), but the exterior was crispy and the inside was moist and delicious. It was even better with the orange sauce (color, not flavor) that was brought out after. It might be the onion ring sauce, but the waitress wasn't sure. It needed it! I wanted to go to the bar a few times, but during the week, it was kinda packed without an open seat. Bummer! I'll guess it's a popular place with guests.

They did send out a dessert, on the house, since we did have to wait past our reservation time which was a nice gesture.

Luckily, there was an open bar pub table that just vacated so the crab Gods were working in our favor!! Lol :)) The pub tables are attached to the bar so you have to order from the bar.. No big deal for me but she didn't care for it.. Lol. I was amazed at how reasonable the prices were for XL Crabs and was wondering if they really were XL for $140 a dozen?

We used to buy our crabs at a placer in Arbutus who have now closed. We looked on the internet and found Cravin' Crabs and thought we might give them a try. A little further from home, but a telephone call to the most helpful and courteous gentleman (who turned out to be the owner) "Barry", convinced us to give them a try. We were able to reserve the crabs we wanted for the next day. When we arrived at the appointed times the crabs were hot and ready. They even carried the crabs to my car. Upon arriving home we spread the crabs on the table and enjoyed them thoroughly. They were heavy and the size that we had been promised. We will definitely be going back. RAS/ read more

I ordered half a dozen jumbo male, unseasoned (on the side) and they were so on point. The staff was friendly and very sweet. My order was a little wrong. They came out seasoned and unfortunately my wife doesn't do spice and salt. I was given a sincere and kind apology and ask if I would be willing to to wait another 25 minutes while the corrected the mistake. I was given a nice cold bottle water and some pleasant conversation. I have a fractured food and there was laughter about breaking my foot in somebody's... you know! . But back to the crabs. I received my unseasoned crabs and for my trouble they gave me the seasoned ones as well. This was such a pleasant surprise. Acknowledging the mistake and the water was fine with me.

While not as peppery as my beloved Conrad's of Parkville's crab seasoning, Corner Crab House's crab seasoning was tasty. I especially enjoyed that they only lightly seasoned the crabs because I prefer light seasoning unlike HubBae & most of our friends and family. Their location is LITERALLY on a street corner, so be prepared to find parking and stroll up to plant yourself in the line of people waiting for their call ahead orders. Don't be discouraged by the back to back busy signal when you call for orders because they're............. well............. always pretty busy, I guess. LOL. When they sell out of crabs, there's a recording that plays letting you know it when you call. I appreciate that kind of efficiency and up to the hour attentiveness but would rate them 4.5 stars because some of their large sized crabs were true mediums and some mediums were more "smedium" sized. None were light and all were steamed great, but I like crab shacks to align size pretty accurately with price point. The people working at The Corner were nice and helpful, too.

Customer service is fantastic. All of the staff is very pleasant and helpful. Love the iced-down display case so you can see what they have and prices are plainly listed.

Bob is an awesome guy who goes above and beyond for his customers and actually supplies quite a few crab houses in the area which speaks volumes. This will be the only place we purchase crabs from in the future. I actually got full after eating 3 crabs so I had the rest of them for lunch and I am already dying for more. **Sidenote: Pretty suspicious that the couple of bad reviews are written by people who clearly set up a Yelp account to disparage the business, the sense of entitlement shines loud & clear ***
