Had a slightly annoying bartender experience at Cheddar's, so I decided to leave and head over to Diamond Crab. I'm honestly glad I did because Ebony was an amazing bartender with impeccable service. This was my first time here, and she went above and beyond to make sure I understood the menu, answered my questions, and helped me make the best choices. Her drinks were great, her food recommendations were even better, and the overall experience was such a difference. I honestly wish I would've came here first. Great service really does change the entire vibe of a night. read more

The server (Tina) was very friendly and provided good service, which I appreciated. However, I was disappointed by the restaurant's gratuity policy and overall lack of flexibility. I was unable to enjoy or finish my 90-minute meal because I did not like the sauce that was served, yet there seemed to be little willingness to accommodate or adjust the dish to my preferences. As a paying customer, I believe there should be more flexibility when a guest is dissatisfied with part of their meal. While the service was pleasant, the strict policies and unwillingness to make reasonable adjustments left me with a disappointing experience. I am not one to say this but I do not recommend this place at ALL. In response to owner: Thank you for the quick reply. I appreciate that you chose not to charge me a waste fee. However, I would like to clarify that this was only my second sauce selection change. My goal was simply to order something without sauce so I could enjoy the remainder of my 90-minute dining experience. Unfortunately, the meal did not meet my expectations and, in my opinion, was not worth the price. As a customer, I believe there should be more flexibility when someone is dissatisfied with an item, especially when reasonable alternatives are available. There are several other restaurants that offer similar dining experiences at a lower price point and without what I feel is an excessive gratuity charge. While I appreciate your response, the overall experience left me disappointed and unlikely to return. read more

Not another seafood boil restaurant? Yep!! Lol. I remember when it was just two in the DMV, Hot and Juicy Crawfish and Chasing Tails. That seems like a 100yrs ago since there's one on every corner now.. Lol! Diamond Crab isn't a chain and I like it because it's close to my house and it's never too crowded at the small bar. The food is solid but the prices are a bit more expensive than Crafty Crab, which is about 10min down the road. Also, Crafty Crab offers broiled oysters which are a favorite of mine. All and all, I visit Diamond a couple times a month, more so for the convenience and Crafty's crowd is a little young and loud for my nerves all the time. Try both for yourself and you decide! :) read more

A hidden gem in Brandywine, Maryland. At times the service can be a bit slow, but it is worth the wait. The seafood is always fresh and generously seasoned.

Diamond Crab is a wonderful local spot! The menu is small but everything is an option because they found the perfect mix of Southern MD favorites. Kate and the team does a wonderful job with service and flavor. Perfectly themed to crab perfection, with vibrant music, cute themed shirts and the food is so delicious. Whether you are a week day regular or first timer you will have a good time! #enjoygoodpeople read more

The food was pretty good. Not the greatest. But you get alot for what you pay for. They have a wide variety of sauces for your seafood. Here it's bottomless but you pay for any food you don't eat so pay attention to that. The ambiance was decent. Service was cool. I'd come here again. The only issue id say is I think some of the items didn't absorb the seasonings/sauce well. Like the potatoes and some of the seafood. Other than that it was okay. read more

I'm obsessed with Diamond Crab! The vibe is so relaxed and family-friendly, it's perfect for a night out with the crew or a family dinner. Sure, some might say the sauce isn't _quite_ on point, but honestly, I've noticed they've been tweaking the recipe and it's getting better with each visit! The seafood is always fresh, and the portions are generous. Highly recommend the all-you-can-eat crab legs - it's a Maryland staple for a reason! , the service is on point and they are quick- servers are friendly and they are respectful read more

Diamond Crab - Extra Seafood Boil Sauce - Seafood Near Me - Brandywine, Maryland

My family and I had a very uncomfortable experience at Diamond Crab. Before ordering, we asked several questions about the AYCE pricing, waste fees, and menu rules because the policies were unusually strict. We still decided to stay and ordered dinner for three people. The bill was nearly $250, which I paid in full. After dinner, my granddaughter and I went to the restroom where I noticed multiple small worm-like bugs/insects crawling behind the toilet area. I recorded video and took photos because I was disturbed by what I saw. When my daughter later tried to calmly report the restroom issue to management, the conversation escalated instead of being handled professionally. There was yelling, hostility, and threats to call police rather than addressing the sanitation concern. The issue was never about paying for the food. The issue was the condition of the restroom and the way the situation was handled afterward. Very disappointing experience overall. read more

Diamond Crab - Small crawling bugs - Seafood Near Me - Brandywine, Maryland

Hubby & I making this virgin vidit. We opted for the AYCE menue. Great idea..bring your appetite. Appetizers: Hubby got fried clams & hus puppes...won't be ordering those again. I got coconut shrimp (not really...juzt fried shrimp with icing & white coconut sprinkled on top) & honey cajun wings (Delicious!). The ayce platters were ok. I had shrimp fried rice as a side.... that was The Best Fried Rice EVER! The Garlic sauce in the boil platters was way TOO salty. Hubby said his lemon pepper sauce was very salty too. We told our server...she shrugged and said "ok". My beverage.-The Henny Passion punch - was on point. I would definitrly order wings to go from here.. not sure I would be back any time soon for the seafood boil. read more

Diamond Crab - Seafood Near Me - Brandywine, Maryland

I like what they have going on here! The all you can eat concept, decor is cool and the drinks are pretty good. While the portion sizes are small, our eyes are usually bigger than our stomachs. Tread lightly. A star is deducted because before we even sat down, we were faced with a bunch of restrictions and we were told they had blue crabs. We made an order for crabs for each person at our table first. One crab came out and they said they ran out. That was quite annoying as we wanted crab mostly. The ramen is good and the crab balls were tasty. A return visit is in my future. read more

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, Diamond Crab has some good ole "Catfish"! Believe it or not, my Big Spoon and I came for dinner and I was blown away! He's a snob and got a whole seafood boil and I chose the Catfish. Ooooooooooooooooooh LAWD I am glad I did. (Saying that in a country slur.) Here is the thing, I wasn't particularly hungry and when you're not really hungry food sometimes isn't good. A hungry belly always adds flavor that may or may not be there! The owner sat with us at the bar, cool guy! Bartender can slay a drink like an expert bartender! Overall, I'm sold! I know they have a good seafood boil but I'm getting Catfish every single time I come! Score! A dinner spot in Brandywine that I LOVE! Ambiance is chill, come as you are! read more

Airi (Anna) was the best. I visited for a belated bday celebration that I didn't disclose and her service was well above Parr. My mother has a serious food allergyh and always says this when we go out. she didn't just pass it off like others do she added it to our order and the manager immediately came out to explain what safe options my mom had. This was a life saver. Ari's service continued to be amazing. Her follow through. attentiveness and too notch catering made me feel really special and I come her allllll the time. I pray she stays. read more

This place is awesome! The seafood boils are worth my 50 min trip. The best I have had since I moved up this way in 2024. Soooo much food I had to tap out. My server, Selenia was the best! Her smile, her service, and her attentiveness was awesome. Good conversation and service goes along way. Love this place! I will definitely be back. read more

Not going to lie, I've been here twice now. I actually came here twice in a very short amount of time. I've actually had the same server twice, too. She's super sweet. She's not necessarily outgoing, but she is friendly, knowledgeable, and very detail oriented. She's got glasses and she provides great service every time I am there. She's very helpful when it comes to acknowledging portion sizes and making recommendations. Now for the food: the first time I came, I came with my best friend and we got there Labor Day weekend bottomless lobster deal. Well, that was OK. We only ended up getting two lobsters. There was only one lobster allowed at the table at a time. So, between rotating through Maryland blue crabs (which they do not have all the time, so call ahead and ask if that's what you're looking for), crab legs, mussels, and other things, we didn't necessarily benefit the way that we could have if we've been allowed to order, say 2 to 3 at a time. In my opinion, what you get with the all you can eat deal is a really good value, but you really have to sit there for all the time. They have really great crab leg offerings, so you're able to get full legs of meat with simple cracks and pulls. The crab balls are good. The shrimp fried rice (included with AYCE is good AF). My only real critique would be that the all you can eat seafood boils are served in the pan, but not in the bag. I feel like when they're served in the bag, they stew in the juices more. I like that. But I understand them, not doing that with bags. I look forward to my next visit. I hope they're running a sangria deal then, too. read more

This is my first time at Diamond Crab - I was honestly more familiar with the business prior, which I think was specifically Crab Shack (I may be wrong on the same but it was indeed, a similar seafood spot). My friends and I had such a good time. They were in town from Los Angeles, craved seafood (of course - what does the west coast have on Maryland seafood?) - and they were so so pleased with this place! The Old Fashioned drinks were not on the menu but the server took care of us! Tina, our server was great! read more

I visited on Thursday August 6 and ordered one dozen large crabs. They brought out and one small met tray. I asked for another tray and a crab cracker. They came out with a plastic tray and a broken crab cracker. We then requested another crab cracker and was told they didn't have any more in the restaurant!!! Once trying the crabs they were mush and tasted bad like they were spoiled. My date and I opened a second crab to check and be sure it wasn't just the first crab we tried same results. We sent the crabs back and were charged $104 for the 4 crabs we opened not ate and two drinks. I will NEVER step foot in there again. Another table had the same experience and sent theirs back as well and was charged as well. Customer service is the pits as is the food. read more

Friday (5/10/24). Randomly stopped in to a neighborhood spot for lunch about 10 min after 12pm. I had not visited since Urban Crab left & Diamond Crab took over. I like the look of the restaurant and it felt lively with the R&B music playing. Noticed a couple folks were already seated & the front desk employee looking down perhaps addressing last minute admin stuff. While still looking down, he advised to seat ourselves. A team member came to take our drink orders. She communicated the limited beer & soft drink offerings and mentioned the bartender hadn't arrived yet. They also don't offer Diet Pepsi. It was an unseasonably chilly day. We both ordered Cream of Crab soup. She quickly returned with our soup. The flavor was decent although my soup lacked much crab & was served in disposable cups. Our server returned at the appropriate time to take food orders then the wait began. We noticed a party that arrived after us received their food. About 25 min later the front desk guy came over & said the printer in back did not print our ticket soooo our order was not submitted. He apologized for the delay. The analyst in me wanted to discuss the order submission process and printer issue further to identify & fix future problems, but I remained quiet. Our food came about 15 min later. It was hot & flavorful. I just found service disjointed. I'll return with my friends and neighbors because we support our community establishments, however I think more time should be spent preparing before the restaurant opens for the day. read more

There seem to be a lot of misunderstandings with Diamond Crab about the $15 fee for excess food. I'm not even going to lie, my wife and I kind of over did it, and left about half a boil on the table, but the staff never checked and we left it at that. $50 for all you can eat boils is just about the best deal in town, but it's a slippery slope. It's clear from being there, and from seeing post on their IG that the rules hear are kind of vague and not fully understood by customers or staff. It may end up not being worth it for the owners in the long run. Other spots are charging 50+ or 1 boil. This may be the deal we don't deserve, especially with all the drama it seems to be bringing. The limit is supposed to be 3 appetizers and 3 seafood choices in the boil, but our waitress was letting us order 4-5 seafoods in the boil and we hadn't even asked, and the kitchen was bringing it out with no delay. I thought the boils were excellent, but you really have to let your food sit in the sauce. I typically peel all the seafood and drop it into the sauce before I eat it, because other wise cracking crab legs out of the shell and eating them doesn't give time for the flavors to marry. The Medium Cajun style was hittin, and so was the signature diamond club. I like that they didn't drown the food in the sauce, and I could've sat there forever eating. The crab balls and bang bang shrimp were awesome. I wasn't crazy about the chicken, but I asked for honey old bay and they gave me like a thai chili. The drinks from the bar weren't my favorite, the Cadillac Marg was weak, and the Paloma just taste like alcohol. Our waitress was nice, but she got a big party and 2 other tables at the same time and quickly became swamped. Shortly after the lady at the table got mad and stormed out, and things got back in order. Be prepared for them not to have tools to crack the crab claws. The waitress said that a lot of them get stolen. Overall the service was good, the food was good, and most importantly my wife had a good time. Hopefully this spot can work out the kinks and flourish, but they have to set clear boundaries and stick to them. I real live feel like this is almost to good of a deal to be maintained, but I really wish them the best and hope everything works out. I would still come here for a $35 - $50 boil if they just started offering all signature boils. IJS read more

Another day, another seafood boil lol. I'm on a mission to try all of them in the DMV area, and that mission brought me to Diamond crab. This spot offers an AYCE option for $49.99, which does not include any soft drinks, but does include appetizers. The AYCE menu consists of your standard seafood boil offerings, with your choose of spice level and seasoning. I thoroughly enjoyed the appetizers that I ordered. The crab balls were tasty, the wings were crispy, and the shrimp po boy was extremely filling and tasty. The po boy could have been a meal in itself. The main star of the show, the boil, fell extremely flat for me. The spice wasn't there at all, and there was barely any sauce included in the boil bags. The service was also chaotic - they kept bringing orders to the wrong table, and we had to flag down several different people to get refills, order more food, get the bill, etc. If I ever went back, it would be for the apps and for drinks. Otherwise, there are much better options if you're in the mood for a boil. read more

The server was excellent, very helpful, explained everything clearly; and actually listened when I told her not to give me so much food per order because I wanted to try a little bit of everything (I couldn't try everything, too much food). The host SUCK! I asked to sit in one of the two tables by the windows, away from people because i was by myself, he sat me between a family of four and a couple. The sweet potato fries and the boom boom shrimps were super hot, crispy, lightly seasoned so good. The seafood boiled was okay I didn't like the gritty spices on my tongue but the shrimps were huge, plump; and juicy. read more

The decor is nice but not conducive to a long sit the chairs and benches have no padding and are made of a hard wood that tells you that you won't be sitting long the food was overcooked and tasteless no seafood flavor at all especially snow crab none of the items were seasoned at all and the oily sauce at the bottom of the serving pan never showed any signs of real butter the hush puppies were crispy on the outside but mushy and uncooked on the inside the calamari was tender and a little chewy but the little bit of dipping sauce that accompanies it is not nearly enough to last the selection scallops had no taste whatsoever and left me wondering if they were scallops at all the saving grace was the server she was knowledgeable about the menu and was glad to answer any questions but like any restaurant the food is the gage and this one fails if I go back it will be because someone else is paying not on my dime read more

I keep hearing wonderful things about this place in Brandywine, MD. The all you can eat for $60 per person, is a big draw. I was here for lunch and opted to order the crab cake basket with Cajun fries and a side order of hush puppies. The hush puppies have sweet corn inside are served with honey and they are amazing. I was disappointed to get 5 hush puppies for $ 5.99. The fries were well seasoned without being too salty. The crab cakes are so so. I would likely order the shrimp or the catfish basket when I return. Our server was on point with answering questions and keeping us updated on the status of our order. I was disappointed to see that the gratuity, for a party of 4, was added to the check. Their menu stated that gratuity is included for parties of 6 or more. So, double check your receipt for what you are charged. All in all. I will check them out again. read more

Our bartender, Brooke was good! We started with drinks at the bar as we waited for our table. Lauryn was our sever and was super friendly and made some good suggestions for food. Our appetizers came out hot and fresh. The lemon pepper and honey old bay wings were delicious. The crab balls had lots of crab and the boom boom shrimp was delicious. The seafood boil was great as well. I left stuffed and satisfied. The ambiance was amazing as well. They played R&B all night and had various games on the tv. read more

Service was excellent! Food was OK but I will definitely give it another try. We were in a but of a hurry so I think and feel it will be better next time. Only things I would recommended is lighten up on the breading on the fried oysters and mayby turn your fire down a little ( food was a little over cooked) otherwise an enjoyable experience. read more

The restaurant/ambiance was chill...great music (a little loud), good for groups (but majority of your party must be there to be seated), and parking is good. I shared the shrimp fried rice, lemon pepper wings, and catfish basket with someone in my group and neither of us were impressed. The food was medicore. Everything was under seasoned. My sister created a boil bag with shrimp and mussels, and she chose mild garlic butter for the "flavor"--- same issue. Lacked seasoning/flavor. Service was good. No complaints there but the food left a lot to be desired. read more

Came here with a friend for his birthday. The business has some shady practices and the servers are rude. My friend is the type who like to eat 1 thing at buffets. I was eating a variety of food while he only wanted snow crab legs. This place isn't truly AYCE. They bring out one leg at a time, and the pace slows down more and more as you keep ordering.Then my friend said something about it, and thats when they started bringing out the food out faster again. I feel sorry for people who are too shy to speak up. That made the experience so much worse. We were twiddling our thumbs with sauced-filled gloves instead of eating and enjoying our time. I have been to hundreds of AYCE places in my lifetime, and this was the only place that actually enforced the time limit so aggressively. We still had 2-3 minutes left when the server shoved the check in our faces to rush us out. If you're going to enforce time limits, at least don't waste our time dragging your feet with the food service. If you are only here for snow crabs, you will probably get 7-8 clusters max. They also charge auto-gratuity no matter the party size. Was $70/person. So many better places with that price. read more

When they say all you can eat, it's really all you eat. No jokes about it. You can start off with 3 appetizers or you can get straight into the seafood boil. I recommend not stuffing yourself with the appetizers as by time the boil comes you'll be too full to eat anything and then it's like you paid $53 for apps unless you want to spend additional $15 per pound to take your boil home. It's quite loud inside with the music and different groups. I asked for shrimp with the head ON (if you know you know) however my waiter didn't hear me due to the noise level and I was presented with shrimp with the head off. Also, I ordered wings as one of my apps and didn't get it until my boil came. - lots of confusion, might have been due to larger party nearby and supervisor kept asking all of the servers to help instead of tending to their individual tables. I'm interested to see how their happy hour is. If I go back in skipping the appetizers (jk I'll prob get 1 instead of 3)..but seriously PACE YOURSELF ! read more

The owner was very rude and disrespectful. Very racist. Treated me and my husband as if we were criminals. All we did was order all you can eat. She would delay our food coming out because there was a 2-hour limit. Would serve one cluster at a time. Then accused us of stealing crab legs. I asked to speak to her, but she would not come out. I had a small purse and a tennis skirt on. I was so insulted. The waitress was so embarrassed that she started to cry. I told her, Why would I steal? You have the debit card. You removed our trays. Where did you get the idea that I am stealing anything!!! I almost lost it. This is the last time I'm eating here. The food was not even worth the cost. I will be making a formal complaint. The person answering this comment is lying. Please ask the servers. The waitress was in tears. I did not dispute my food bill. Only when they wanted to charge me extra for something I did not do. The waitress walked up to us and stated that the female asian person in charge, working on 05/21/202,5 accused us of stealing. I ask to speak to a manager or someone who was in charge. I was professional. Stop stereotyping people, please. I have never been treated so poorly. Run the camera back. I am a professional. Please don't do that. You failed last night, and I was taken aback by how I was treated. The bill was over $100 dollars. Not even a problem. The dispute was $12.50. Please tell the truth. No worries.

First review of the new year and boy is it going to be a good one! Stumbled across Diamond Crab while randomly scrolling on IG one day. I'm not sure how the algorithm brought it to me on IG but I'm so happy that it did. If you're a fan of good drinks, great service and seafood/seafood boil's Diamond Crab is the place you want to be. The cherry on top is I don't have to travel far to get it! Diamond Crab is located Brandywine Crossing right next to the Starbucks. Once we walked in we were greeted by a friendly face and we opted to sit at the bar to watch one of the games that were on. They offer a variety of drink options and seafood options. The main selling point is all you can eat seafood boils for $39.99. Yes that's right I said all you can eat for $39.99!! The only catch is to get this amazing deal everyone in your party has to participate. This visit we tried the fresh raw oysters and seafood boils. The seafood was cooked well and the flavor that I went with medium lemon pepper garlic butter was delicious. The right amount of heat and flavor. My friend tried medium old bay and garlic butter style and said the same thing. I will definitely be back to try some of their other menu options and I think you should too. read more

Everyone is forced to tip. Not worth it. Tips should not be forced. Are you guaranteeing outstanding service (not standard)?

I know this restaurant has JUST opened; and by that, I mean theyre currently having their "soft opening." So this review will be based solely on my first (and only) experience so far. **Long story short: don't come here during soft opening- wait for their grand opening and give them a few months to get everything in order.** I really wanted to give this place 1 to 2 stars but since the owner/manager was very apologetic at the end of our meal; I decided to bump it up to 3 stars. My friends and I arrived around 7pm on a Saturday night so we knew it would be extremely busy. We drove over an hour to try this new place; we saw the amazing reels with the soft opening price of $40 per person/ ayce on instagram and wanted to try it. When we arrived, we had to wait in line for over 20 minutes..just to get our name on the waitlist. There were multiple families who said they waited over an hour and a half and still havent been seated; they mentioned that the restaurant was so chaotic that the bartender even walked out. That being said, they had multiple sections of the restaurant that were empty since they didn't have enough man power to serve all their guests. -The customers who were leaving, said there was a bunch of food sitting at the expo line waiting to be served. Once we got our name on the list, they gave us a link to where you could check your place in line. When you checked the link, it said "you missed your place" - a lot of people asked why that was and the manager said that the link wasn't working correctly. Let's skip to the part where we actually get seated.. a server comes by to take our drink orders & our first ayce order. The Starry soda tasted absolutely disgusting, like it was made with mop water. The orange soda tasted almost similar to starry as well. The only thing slightly better was their pepsi, but even then it was still not great. --[Food: 3 of 5] -- The eggs were overcooked, -Soup was bland but then tasted really good after eating all the seafood -Snowcrabs were extremely hard to get meat from- I had to use my teeth to break apart the legs and felt like I was going to chip a tooth -Dungeness Crab was sweet and good -Cocktail Shrimp: the shrimp was large but didn't taste that fresh -Hush Puppies: ok these were the best thing of the whole meal, it's light and has corn in it - tasted great with melted butter. -Corn was crunchy and sweet, so we really enjoyed that -Sausages are pork and the texture was nice and chewy --[Service: 1 of 5]-- I'm only giving this a 1 of 5 rating because (as mentioned above) the manager was extremely apologetic and tried to make us leave happy. Our server only stopped by 2 times the whole meal service. (1) During the greeting and drink order, (2) Dropping off our first food order. When our table finished half of the seafood boil, we waved down our server multiple times and she ignored us EVERY time. One time, we asked a busser to help us grab our server and when he did- she still ignored us. He said "they would like to order more, I can take their order" You know what she said? She said no. She said I'll come back to them later. Guess what? She didn't. 15-20 more minutes went by, our trash piled up on our table and still no one stopped by. Finally a different server stopped by to ask if we wanted anything but by that time we were so over this place and just wanted to leave so we asked for the manager to help us. We explained to the manager that we were being ignored by our server and the manager just kept apologizing and said that she was busy and didn't mean to ignore us on purpose. ...Well, another table that was being served by her... also complained about her and asked to check out with some one else. Their service ended up being so bad, that their table actually ran out on the check. I felt extremely bad that they did that. We were at the restaurant for over 2 hours and was served basically only once; we got served a second time only because the manager offered us another tray. I appreciate the manager being apologetic and I understand her frustration and she has a lot going on her plate. She discounted 1 ayce off our check, which was nice of her to do. [Ambiance] Not much to say about the ambiance, just your typical crab shack. --------- Tip: A restaurant should not have customers wait over 5 minutes to be waitlisted.. no matter how busy they are. I have worked in the food industry for over 10 years and this would not fly any where. They should have everyone trained on how to use the waitlist and should assist every customer who comes through the door. It's not a good look when we're waiting over 20 minutes... just to be put on a waitlist that's over 1.5 hours. Tip: Find experience servers & make them take accountability for their tables --------- For now my rating for them is 3 out of 5 stars; but I'll try them again in a few months to a year. O read more

Be aware this restaurant is serving during their soft opening so if you come during an expected busy time, especially during the weekend, be ready to wait between 1 and 2 hours. The staff was friendly but obviously tired. I saw tons of people during my wait time and dining time. They had run off items by the time we were sat and much more by the time we were done eating. The food was excellent, with vast and fresh portions. They served us family style and placed the sauces on the side, which was not the best cause you want your seafood to sit on the sauce, but a good solution when different people want the same thing with different sauces. In all, I would come again, maybe with a smaller party read more
