    1 Dozen Crabs, 2 very happy customers!
    Kaitlin H.

    My mother & I are in town for a figure skating competition from Pittsburgh & since we are in Maryland we wanted crab for dinner! So the search started! We came across Pit Boys & called to double check to see if the did have crab, they did! When we arrived the owner asked what we were planning on eating & we told her we were interested in having crabs! Turns out they usually close on Sundays at 7pm but they made an exception for us, thank goodness! We ordered a dozen crabs & enjoyed every single one! They were cooked perfectly, the meat was sweet & juicy, & the old bay seasoning was just the right amount! There was plenty of seating complete with wooden picnic style benches, a bar, & $1 homemade cookies for dessert! If you're in the mood for some amazing crab with a chill atmosphere & kind people, look no further than Pit Boys! You can thank me later! Cheers!

    The crabs were very tasty and meaty. The service was quick and friendly. I highly recommend.

    It was my first time trying Pit Boys for crabs. I called ahead for a half dozen of large male crabs which were $80/dozen. When I arrived, I paid and was told to wait in my car and someone would bring them out. The crabs were well seasoned but I was upset with the size and weight of the crabs for the price. They were very light and most of the legs were off of them. I'm on a mission to try at least 10 new crab spots this season and this is number 2. It was okay, but I'm not that impressed.

    Purchased sliced turkey today, and was disappointed by it being thickly cut and very dry. Don't buy it. Ken in Annapolis

Recently I went with a group of family, some from out of the area, as it is convenient, the food is good, and is a good introduction to Bay life. While my out of town family thought it was great, I was honestly a little disappointed with the food. First, however, the entire staff were incredible and it is hard to beat the setting. Everyone was friendly, authentic and helpful. One of our group was celebrating a big birthday and the Cantler's team made him feel very special. Second, some of the food was very good such as the fresh oysters, oyster chowder and the hush puppies. Unfortunately, a lot of the food wasn't great, especially the seafood sampler and the crab cake. Maybe we should have asked for the crab cake and sampler to be broiled rather than fried, and that may have been why we were disappointed. The crab cake was particularly disappointing as it seemed mostly leg and backfill meat with a fair amount of filler and then deep fried. Will I go back, mostly like because of the staff and the gorgeous setting, but will only order steamed crabs to pick.

I started with the steak wedge salad, which was really tasty--the bacon had a slightly sweet flavor that stood out and complemented the dish nicely. For my entrée, I went with the tomahawk pork chop and a loaded baked potato. The pork chop was cooked well and had great flavor overall, though it leaned just slightly on the salty side. Still very enjoyable, especially paired with the potato. Where things really took off was dessert. Our table ordered a few to share--the brownie, chocolate cake, and crème brûlée cheesecake. The brownie was easily my favorite: rich, soft, and topped with caramel sauce alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Definitely the standout of the night. Service from Eli was good--friendly and helpful. I would have appreciated a bit more check-ins throughout the meal, but nothing that took away from the experience. Overall, a solid visit with great flavors and a few standout dishes. I'd definitely come back, especially for that brownie.

During a visit about a over a month ago, I observed an interaction between a manager and an employee that felt uncomfortable to witness. From a customer perspective, the tone came across as harsh and seemed more appropriate for a private conversation rather than one happening in front of staff and guests. On a more recent visit, I became concerned after overhearing multiple staff members discussing cleanliness-related issues while I was dining. As a customer, hearing those types of conversations during a meal was unsettling and raised concerns for me about overall food safety and sanitation. I want to be clear that I am only sharing what I personally experienced and overheard during my visits. However, as someone with severe allergies, trust in food handling and cleanliness is extremely important to me, and these experiences made me uncomfortable. Because of this, I felt it was appropriate to bring these concerns to the attention of the appropriate authorities so they can be properly reviewed. I hope management takes the opportunity to evaluate both customer experience and internal practices moving forward, as both staff and guests deserve a safe and respectful environment.

It was my birthday--so the waiter brought myself and wife a small pour of champagne but none for my 24 year old daughter. Hmmm. Next, I had perused their website's wine menu since I hate trying to choose a good wine while at the table. Alas, the didn't have my choice any longer. I was able to find a good wine--at the expense of being Mr. Boring while researching the list. We ordered dinner and our entrees were served in reasonable order. The lobster and halibut were very good--but my medium rare Delmonico steak was overcooked to medium well. It was a shame to waste a $100 steak--but was not even close to order. We notified the waiter who had the steak replaced. Something came to the table 30 minutes later--but it was a chewy rump end of what was previously ruined. It seemed like the chef was determined to get even for sending the first steak back. I chewed through half of the steak before boxing the rest (to take home for our pet). The waiter was nice enough to offer free dessert for the error--but noted that they were out of Key Line pie and chocolate brownie--so we had our choice of Tres Leches, bread pudding, or butterscotch pudding. I felt bad for laughing--but those choices were worse than over cooking the steak. Not impressed for a $400 meal and not going back. I hope my review saves you the same pain.

That restlessness works in its favor. The space is compact, almost disarming at first. Then it settles around you. There is a quiet intimacy to the room, the kind that feels less designed and more lived in. It leans closer to a welcoming home than a polished dining room, without losing its sense of purpose. The food carries that same balance. Thoughtful, seasonal, and just unpredictable enough to keep you paying attention. Cocktails follow suit, measured and deliberate, never an afterthought. For Annapolis, where good options are not exactly rare, this place still manages to separate itself. It belongs firmly in the top tier of the city's dining scene, and it earns that position every time it changes the menu and starts over again.

Their cocktail menu has the spirit and then a description under of the drink. No actual names. Lots of interesting drinks. We grabbed a couple of apps. Got the pork bites and smoked fish dip. Both were tasty and had interesting flavors that worked. The portions were great. You can tell that great care and thought is put into to the menu.

Truly crafty food and drinks. Highly recommend trying them out. Would come back again.
