I went to this location today for the snow crab legs boil to go. Before purchasing I asked if they were a good size today and was told yes. We'll here's what I got, just a little bigger than my hand, which is small. I could've gotten bigger legs from Giant food store. Very disappointed. I gave them a 3 because of the shrimp fried rice and hush puppies. read more

Diamond Crab - Seafood Near Me - Brandywine, Maryland

This seafood restaurant has a fun, upbeat vibe and serves delicious food. You can choose between à la carte items or an all-you-can-eat option for $53, plus a fountain drink, making the total around $65. The food is incredibly fresh, with three items served per round, and you can order as much as you want for two hours. If you don't eat a lot, ordering à la carte might be more economical, as I found one round of appetizers and main dishes to be sufficient. Our server, Tina, was excellent--she frequently checked on us, refilled our drinks without needing to be asked, and made our experience enjoyable. The atmosphere is great, the food is tasty (don't miss the bang bang shrimp and wings), and they play wonderful music. I will definitely return. read more

UPDATED TO A 1 star since the owner felt the need to only reply to my comment since I didn't speak to my experience and instead paid my tab and left an honest review. **This may be a biased review as I was really only coming for drinks and girl tea time** The restaurant is really cute and the lights and music make it attractive. The bar is small, it may have a total of 10 seats. Their drink menu is cute and creative. I ordered a strawberry lemon drop and it was cool. Now I ordered the wings and hush puppies and I'm sorry both sucked. The food came out in about 10 minutes which had me nervous but the chicken still has a little pink and the "honey old bay" flavor was baaaaaad! I expected a dry rub and it was very wet...the sauce at the bottom was horrid. The hush puppies were hard and the taste was basic. The place specializes in seafood boils...so that maybe better than the bar food. Kudos for the price point which is low. read more

DO NOT GO I DO NOT RECOMMEND LACKLUSTER THIS ESTABLISHMENT DOESNT EVEN DESERVE A STAR Let me tell you about this place and the lack of professionalism and the absolute lack of customer service skills. I came in with a party of 6 adults and one infant. When we were seated 3 adults decided that they wanted to do the all you can eat seafood and the other 3 adults did not want to do that so we were trying to oblige by the restaurant and have our party of three sit at another table but somewhere where it was relatively close so that we could mingle with the other 3 woman. The sever Jasmine took our drink order. She came back and we tried to explain to her "hey can we separate our table to make it TWO SEPARATE TABLES" so that all patrons can be serviced accordingly. Well she caught a slight attitude went to the manager to try and solve the slight inconvenience. In the meantime our alcohol beverage come. 3 woman ordered Cadillac margaritas, this drink was supposed to have Patron, Lime Juice and Grand Marnier. What was made was a tequila martini!!! I'm a Sever and a bartender and i was truly disappointed with how service was being ran. We asked to speak to the manager and when the manager came she was NOTHING BUT NASTY, RUDE, BELITTLING, CONDESCENDING. She was never apologetic, she wasn't warm she was just NASTY in all honesty. I've been in the food and beverage industry for over 10 + years. The request we were making wasn't too much they were actually very simple and accommodations could have been met. Needless to say i will NEVER eat in that establishment again The food was nothing but SUBPAR read more

We decided to drive out and try Diamond Crab after learning they also offered an AYCE menu. They are a bit different from others in the area, where you order appetizers to share and then the seafood boil is actually an individual bag for each person. I liked this a lot compared to other AYCE spots because this allowed us to order items the other person doesn't eat. They have a 2 hour limit and there is a waste fee so be sure to only order what you can eat. The price of the AYCE is $49.99 and is a good price pending how much you plan to eat. If you aren't looking to really go all out, it can actually be cheaper to order a la carte versus the AYCE. I will also mention their alcoholic drinks are STRONG! Everything came out promptly and everything was beyond fresh and flavorful. I loved that I was able to have the seafood steamed plain and just have sauce on the side. This is the first place that has allowed me to do that and as someone who prefers the natural flavor of seafood it's a huge plus. We will definitely be back, and highly recommend. read more

I enjoyed my experience at DC and my waiter was amazing. The only downfall for me was the Cajun garlic sauce was salty......really salty. Other than that, everything else was Dee-lush. I will return but will specifically request a salt free base. read more

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

We came here on a Saturday night. They were busy. It took forever for us to put our name on the waitlist. They were on an hour wait. When I checked back after and hour, it became and hour and half because it was just an estimate. But they never asked what my name was. The hostess didn't seem to have system. The food was good. We had the diamond special which you can chose up to 3 seafood combo. We choose the crab legs, shrimp and clams in a garlic butter sauce medium spiced. It was seasoned perfectly and delicious. It came with corn (sweet and crisp) , potatoes and sausage. We tried to order wings but they were all sold out. My son got the chicken tenders. They were tiny and not very good. The bathroom was not cleaned or maintained. The service was okay. They were very busy so she didn't even check on us. Another server checked on us and gave our check. read more

this place is great!! Food is good, comes out fast. Ask for Tina for good service, she's right on time

This was our first time there for a belated birthday lunch with Family. All of us got a boil and it was so delicious. We didn't have time to take good photos because we were so busy eating. And the choice of seasonings was great. The hush puppies were so delicious. I got the boil with scallops, shrimp, and crab legs without the corn. We all thoroughly enjoyed our boils. My family has already returned. I will be returning soon. read more

Lovely bartenders! Cute date night. The wings are yummy. We happen to enjoy the scallop/shrimp fried rice which you don't expect for a crab venue. read more

This place is amazing. Great service , great food. The sauces were delicious and the offered dungenees and snow crab as part of the all you can eat. The crab legs were cooked perfectly. I also got the crab balls and the fried catfish which was also excellent. I was also impressed that they use really catfish instead of the Asian swai fish that many people call catfish. The servers made you feel right at home and there is no 90 min time limit like hook and reel , ocean crab, crazy crab or rock and toss. This is my new favorite all you can eat seafood spot and I wouldn't change a thing. read more

Update response to owner please don't get on here and try to play, I clearly said that we were seated at another table therefore like I said it was me and my husband at one table however the bill reflected 5 ppl. I have no problem paying for any service which was paid in full it's the slickness your establishment played at the end might I add your staff apologized for however you on the other hand were very rude. So that I am clear you were a younger short Asian or Thai female with a lot of mouth and rude disposition not sure who this picture is claiming to be the owner. If the patrons knew how your establishment really behaved and after to speaking to quite a few ppl I'm. It the only one who has encountered your behavior. Your right that you have the right to refuse service just know that we also can be the downfall of your business not thriving as well. read more

The food at Diamond Crab is the best seafoods in the area hands down. You get up to 2 hours to have all you can eat seafood at $49.99!!! If you are pressed for time please do not go to the establishment on the weekends because it's busiest then and everyone seated does get up to two hours. Everyone is treated with respect and food taste great so most people take advantage of the allotted time. The best time to go is during lunch during the week. I can without a doubt tell you that their boom boom strimp is a go to as well as their seafood boil bags! I have been here 4 times now and they have consistently gave me hot and flavorful food but I go during lunch time. The best food from the seafood boil in my opinion are the Dungeon Crabs. If you see reviews that make you second guess going here you'll be sadly mistaken. This place is a hidden gym and if you take heed to my advice you'll thank me later! read more

Gave this spot a try on a recent work trip. Really enjoyed it and it's one of the best AYCE seafood experiences I've had. Seafood is pricey but when compared to what most similar establishments charge for a la carte seafood boils, there's definitely value. The seafood itself was very high quality. I didn't get a shell cracker, which I'm not sure whether or not was an oversight but I was pleasantly surprised to find I barely needed it. Crablegs were cooked perfect so meat came right out with one well placed snap. I see a lot of complaints about adding the tip to the check, but they make it very obvious by putting "extra tip" next to the tip line so it's really not deceitful. It's also only 15%. This is not a buffet, orders are cooked to order and brought by servers so they deserve their tips. If people can't afford a 15% tip, seafood probably shouldn't be in the budget. I mean that as non-judgmentally as possible because seafood is always a rare splurge for me and I definitely can't afford it on a regular basis! Anyway, I don't review places much these days unless I have something nice to say and I enjoyed this place a lot. read more

Ok ok ok! I wanna give it 4.5 because we had a few service issues (didn't get our appetizers after asking 3 times). OTHERWISE THEY WERE GREAT! SO ILL GO WITH 5. The music was nice and the ambiance left nothing to be desired. NOW THE FOOD! OH THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS!! Well cooked, well seasoned and well worth the money. read more

Diamond Crab - By the bar area it's disgusting - Seafood Near Me - Brandywine, Maryland

This is the old Urban Crab which I liked as well. Diamond Crab was good. The food came out fast and was flavorful. The server was nice and knowledgeable about the menu. A few things to note. We went on a Tuesday and the restaurant was nearly empty. I had a problem with the two ladies, one who seemed to be the manager sitting and eating at the bar. Often the cooking staff came from the kitchen to take phone calls in the dining area. There should be a break room for the staff. There was a bathroom cleaning cart sitting in the dining area. And for some reason in the bathroom there was a paper towel rack and soap dispenser mounted on the wall, but there was this huge bottle of liquid soap and tissue( not paper towel) sitting on the sink. Not a big deal but not aesthetically pleasing. Please please get rid of the little kids plastic forks!! Grown adults need flatware! There are not a lot of all you can eat options in southern Maryland so I wish this place well, it has alot of potential!! read more

Too damn expensive. I had 4 drinks. The all you can eat for 2 ppl and one kids meal. The bill $252.00. No way in hell is this a $252 meal. How? Why are drinks $21.00? Tax $14. Gratuity included for 2 adults at $38. Why? Don't waist your time. Go to rock and toss and save the money. They literally said that we had a party of 4 all you can eat when we had two adults and one kids meal and another 2 year old. HOW is that a party of 4 18% gratuity? I forgot they tried to charge $18 if we wanted to take home the remainder of the food we had left. Go down the street to Waldorf rock in toss. The food is better (not over cooked corn) and you get to take home your food without additional charges and bogus charges of 4. read more

Sorry forgot to take pictures but I was here June 9 2024 and I cannot say a bad word about this place. As soon as we were seated which was right away,the apps came out. Enjoying everything we had. The Crabs balls were way better than I expected,the boom boom shrimp was also a hit. The all u can eat is the way to go always. Will b back within the next 2 weeks. Also meet the Manager,or owner I forgot but she was nice and the place was very clean read more

The food was good. I opt for the All U Can Eat option which was the better option (cost wise) for my party. As soon as the server put the order in, the food was coming out. Everything had good flavor, the service was great. The only issue was the menus did need some cleaning prior to use. read more

This place sucks and the one before this place also sucked. We came today a Tuesday and had a new waiter who told us he was new. His name is Sunny and he suck...he didn't know Joe to do anything. We all opted for all you can eat and barely got the first round. The stuff didn't come out right. The manager did not really helped they suck I will not be back only offer to take 10% off. If I could give it 0 stars I would give it to them. I'm afraid how they are during the weekend because for a slow Tuesday this was not it. Once again TikTok has lied again. read more

I love everything about the place food was good server was Good food came out fast they sat us down fast the only thing I didn't like was I was told what I had to tip and I'm a great tipper $34 was a bit much that's the only draw back I had read more

I heard they was going back-and-forth with my family with no apology on this review page. How rude.? & unprofessional ! no apology or any solution for our discuss of this place while bickering over the 18% gratuity that they charge a large party each person in the party might I add. The seafood was horrible. I would not recommend this place to a dog!! read more

Ordered a pound of shrimp and a pound of clam boil for take out. Received 6 shrimp and half pound of crabs with a bag if oil. I was supposed to receive Cajun fire and got garlic butter with Cajun spice added. There was confusion with my order and whe. I asked, I was told that I received 6 shrimp because head on shrimp weighed more. I know it is all you can eat but even the taste wasn't great and oddly sweet. Waste of 30 dollars. Might be better when you sit in but take out sucks. Never again. read more

For the price, you get little food. I get more for my buck at Rock and Toss. As for the all you can eat, the WHOLE party has to order this, not just you. So if you go on date night, make sure you both are hungry. One and done for me. read more

So this is my 2nd time coming here and the experiences were night and day literally. I came here last weekend on a Sat pretty much when the store opened and the customer service was on point. We had so many waitresses and waiters drop by to see if we needed anything. This time around I came with my husband on a Friday night. The waiters and waitresses kept walking past us at the door looking at us but not saying a word. Finally I went up to a waiter and was like hey no one has said anything to us how do we get on a list for a table. He thanked told me it would be a 50 min wait, mind you we stood there for 30 min just waiting to be acknowledged. So we just left and probably will not be coming back here again. read more

They are a new restaurant so they do have a few things to work through however, they give you huge portions and the service was very good. You get your money's woth. read more

To say TRIED TO TAKE FOOD is an understatement I DID!!! It was paid for and mines regardless. in order to keep customers you have to accommodate, especially when it's a big party. only having 1 server was crazy the food wasn't good and I will be posting on every social media about it. There's a reason you want reviews so people can voice how they felt in your establishment. But you just tried to discredit how I felt about my service I received and the food. Everyone paid their gratuity, but to have my niece sitting at a table by herself and still have to pay 18% is insane. read more

fraud credit card charge!! management will not resolve!! be careful! only use cash if you go. read more

The food was actually really good. Enjoyed a boil bag and the seasonings didn't disappoint at all. The service was pretty nice once we got it. I believe that the place is so new that they just weren't equipped for the amount of people in the restaurant. As a business owner I understand this so I hope people read this honest review. If there were more hands on deck I do believe that the experience would have been much nicer. The ambiance was enjoyable as there was music of all types playing. The bathrooms could have been much cleaner and the soap was watered down. So just some things that can be improved. read more

Food and service were great! I thought that the selection and quality was amazing. I will definitely be returning.

So there are a lot of these "crab boil" type places in the area. This one is close to my house. I will be back. It's a nice laid back spot. The food was flavorful the service was good and our server/bartender Brooke, we sat at the bar, was awesome. This place is DEFINITELY going to see my face again. read more
