    SUPPOSED TO BE A MEDIUM CRAB, BUT LOOK LIKE A SMALL

    attention please don't spend your money here if you work gard for it.. but if you want to waste your money by all means.. but this place have went down to the ground... it is all about a dollar not good quality.. why are they selling extra small crabs for mediums... and look at you wild and crazy when you question them of why they are soooo small..

    ~~Update~~ With the winter firmly here, crab options are slight. Never fear, Don's is here! They keep an awesome crab selections and offers during these cold long months. These Large females were a hit. Oh! We also got a half dozen free with our dozen purchase! Stop in. Ps. They've even spruced up their wait time. You can call your order in, to shorten your wait.

    I stumbled across this Phenomenal Crab Business from word of mouth by hubbies coworker late last year I'm an addicted crab lover, I don't eat any business crabs lol only huge tasty males lol so my hubby brought home Dons crabs I asked where did you get these delicious crabs and when he told me, I was hooked! Crabhouse go figure why didn't I think of that all these years of living in MD that a crabhouse would always have crabs smh no matter what day I call that have big delicious Crabs. The service is impeccable! So clean too love it usually when i find a great spot I keep on a low so won't have to be last in line but I'm sharing this review because I'm so overly impressed with food, service and ambiance. Plus they have great special during the week. It's worth traveling for!!! Phenomenal job guys please continue with amazing crabs and everything else you serve and ect. Can't get enough!!

    Nice size but, watery crabs. Not good at all.

    I called myself trying Don's because they were having a special. It was two dozen cold crabs for $50.00. Before I walked into the store I didn't care too much for the outside smell. Stepped inside and it did smell better. The female cashier was friendly and attentive. It didn't take long for me to get my order. I also chose to get some garlic butter. I was excited to get home to enjoy my crabs. Boy was I disappointed. The crabs were a nice size however, they were watery. I forced down one dozen but, didn't even partake in eating the rest. It was truly a waste. I don't think I will return to this spot. I love crabs and as a first impression this simply didn't do it for me. I will stick to what I know is good from now on. I can't even blame it on being cold crabs because I get cold crabs from another nearby spot and they are delicious and have never been watery. I say this place is enter at your own risk. Maybe your experience will be better than mine.

    Ordered (2) dozens of the large male crabs for $130 and enjoyed them very much! Appreciated the size and amount of meat in each crab. The seasoning wasn't too salty either! The prices weren't bad either - a dozen for $75 and two dozens for $130 (a special). They do not give you complimentary paper though which I was thrown off by. Other places definitely do. Thought they would especially because we bought a good amount of crabs from them!

    I used to come here all the time and stopped past since they were one of the only places in the area which had crabs. We chose the medium females which were 42 a dozen. They were buy 1 dozen get a half free. So for 84, we got 3 dozen. I liked the taste of the crabs. The seasoning was pretty food ( a little light on some of the crabs) but they tasted good. Some of the crabs were over cooked. So while I thought the taste was 4 star, just the inconsistency in the cooking knocked it down a star for me. If it was just one or 2 that would be different. My mom and sister had bigger issue with them. I'm torn about whether i would give them another shot but think i would potentially.

    Size comparison: Entire crab fit into condiment cup.

There is however a dress code which comes as a surprise given it's not a super fancy restaurant imo. Granted I have never seen anyone come dressed short of nice and presentable so I'm unsure how strict they are about it. Food wise, we got calamari for the table and this time I got the crab imperial. I was skeptical because I always get the crab cakes and I was unsure how I would like it given how heavy it sounded but it was delicious! I have to say I preferred it over the crab cakes 1) price point 2) quantity of lump crab meat 3) enjoyable throughout as it was not dry so it paired nicely with the sides.

We ordered two pounds of king crab leg and three pounds of crawfish, and it was not good. The quality of the seafood was not consistent. 1/8 pieces of crayfish we're excellent, but the rest were either freezer burned or super overcooked and mushy. We asked for the crafty cajun spice with the spice level at the hottest, which is fire and it was nowhere near spicy at all. It was $110 for 2 lbs of king crab legs which is a deal but the quality was just okay. Not amazing or packed with meat and a bit flimsy. Tips: 1. They do not have a liquor license at the location so I recommend BYOB! Pick up whatever you want to drink for your meal at the total wine, which is right around the corner and bring it with you! 2. Order your fried sides at the end e.g french fries. The service here is really great, and they'll bring out the fries really quickly once they're ready

Menu is online so we called ahead of time to place our orders - we both got 1 crab cake which comes with two sides (mac n cheese, potato salad, french fries, etc). Unassuming place - I knew nothing about the establishment so was a bit surprised to see it mostly as a takeout place (restaurant across the street). Fairly popular as there were people ahead and after me in line. Was a bit disappointed at first that the amount of food seemed little! The sides at least could have been more generous (tip: they are more generous with the fries). However, paired with a salad I tossed at home and slowly savoring helped me realize that the amount of food is decent. For sides, potato salad and macaroni salad were also very good; the Mac n cheese not so much so. The crab cake was delicious though - every bite was full of flavor with lots of crab meat. Definitely satisfied my crab cake craving!

Our order was taken as soon as we walked up to the counter. We order the small crab & shrimp seafood tray to go which comes with 2 snow crab clusters, 10 shrimp, 1 sausage, 1 piece of corn, 1 egg, and potatoes. We substituted the sausage for an extra egg and got the house special as our sauce flavor. Their trays also come in a size large which will be a $5-$8 difference depending on which tray you order. We waited about 20 minutes for our food which we were told that's about long it would take. I could already smell the seafood aroma when we got our food. The container was so packed they put a rubber band around it to keep it closed. When I tell this crab and shrimp tray is off the charts! Everything was prepared and seasoned to perfection. The house special sauce just topped it all the way off.....just absolutely delicious!

Finally the happy couple joined us and we could order for real! I doubled down ordering both hot crab dip and crab cakes. Hot rolls. Yes and they were fantastic. The dip was good. Our servers brought out to go containers almost immediately. It wasn't possible to eat all the food available. I ordered a blue margarita. Strong and yummy.
