Yummy and seasoned to the utmost ! Service was perfecto, answered all questions with a smile. Colorful location not dark and dreary like some I've been to. Maryland crabs not Louisiana. read more

My first time buying and eating cooked crabs outside of a restaurant. Yellow cottage on US40. The owner was helpful and guided me to light crabs that are easier to eat. He showed me how to open them and discard the gills. I bought a dozen crabs with a sweet corn plus a roll of crab paper. He took about ten minutes to steam them and then brought them to my car. My first time opening my own steamed crabs! Not the easiest thing I have done. Tasty seasoning but a lot of it. If I do this again, I will ask for half a dozen crabs, with seasoning on the side. There are discounts for military, first responders, nurses, and union members read more

Got crabs from Jacs Crabs on Saturday 10/10/26 & was very disappoointed. Crabs tasted like fish & amonia! I have bought crabs from Jacs for many years, but this batch on Saturday were disgusting! Tasted like they were "re-heated"! Had relatives visiting from out of town and they wanted crabs, so glad that I did not send them there!! Also, crabs had way too much seasoning on them. I will continue to get crabs from Jacs, but please, please, please do better! read more

The gentleman that handed me my crabs was very nice. I would go back. Trying to make an online order for tomorrow

So this is a mixed review. This is my 2nd time here and I had recalled having a good experience last year. I was eating crabs by myself so went with a dozen of the mixed small/medium female crabs . At my normal crab spot this is usually fine for me. I was very very disappointed with the size of these small crabs. In fact I've never had crabs this small. And if it was a true mix, perhaps i wouldn't be as disappointed , however i had 2 medium and 10 small crabs. The flavor was great. I love their flavor. My review is an overall 4 because their crabs do taste good but I'm rather disappointed with the size and makeup of their mixed dozen. I will try them again to experience another size crab some point this summer. read more

I know they're called Jac's crabs, but I was more in a shrimp mood today haha. I got a half pound of jumbo steamed shrimp and honestly I could have eaten an entire pound by myself. Seasoning was impeccable! Service was quick, although I called to order ahead. I'll definitely have to try their crabs one day! read more

Got a pound of shrimp and wish I had gotten two! Flavorful and cooked just right! Wish I had gotten at least one crab; will definitely do it next time! Phone your order in before you go, so you won't have to wait. read more

Delicious crabs! Great service and great seasoning. Will continue to go back. I want to try other things on the menu.

This place is not anything like the former Kent Island. Miss Kent Island The seasoning was great. Crabs cooked perfectly. The crabs were very small. I ordered 2dozen medium and if they were medium, I'd hate to see the smalls. I probably wont go back read more

Jac's Crabs - Medium? - Seafood Near Me - Abingdon, Maryland

The crabs were delicious and the price was just right. I was hopeful to find a crab place, close to my house that had crabs during Independence Day weekend read more

I have gotten food here multiple times and normally good quality but the food on my last trip was not good. The shrimp were rubbery and inedible. The "large"crabs I ordered were not large and barely full. Highly disappointed and a waste of money. read more

Received crabs from them many times. They were always known to have heavy good crabs! My last visit was yesterday 7/18/21 my Daughter-in-law brought me some lrg male crabs for $70 as a gift and we received sm/med light weight crabs. She only ate 2 and gave up. I was so embarrassed bc I highly recommended them. I will rather put miles on my car to travel to Blake's for now on... they never disappoint!! read more

I hadn't had Maryland crabs in decades. I grew up 1/2 mile from Jac's when it was "Jackies" (Long Bar Harbor). Living in Boston now (Go Sox). Jac's only had mediums and smalls left . I got a dozen of mediums $42 and shared them with my 92 year old mother. She pounded down 4 of them! Kudos to Jacs! Crabs were well seasoned and heavy. A must return when I visit my mother for as many crab seasons as she has left. read more

The few places that I usually get crabs from were sold out so I stumbled upon Jac's via google search....now I wish I would of just got a bag of crab chips and saved myself $120. Out of a dozen crabs "jumbos" 4 of them were completely empty...the remaining 8 were very light to say the least. The seasoning was spot on and that is the only reason I gave 2 stars. read more

Small place not far from the interstate, so we decided to stop for some crab cakes on our road trip. We are so glad we did! The cakes are large and have no filler - so delicious! Stop by - you won't be sorry! read more

First time customer. Extremely small, light, over seasoned and over cooked. Super disappointing. We won't make this mistake twice!

I live in Camp Springs, MD, so over an hour away and these crabs are worth the drive. I try to get the jumbos or XL males when they have them. Last weekend I could only get medium males and they were soooooo ridiculously meaty. When I die, bury me in their crab seasoning. read more

We recently ordered a bushel for a family gathering and we were not disappointed. The mediums were seasoned well and were heavy with crab meat. Everyone complimented us on the crabs and asked where we got them. read more

We were taking US 40 as an alternate route to I-95 and looking for something to eat. The usual fast food places in the commercial strip of Aberdeen looked very unappetizing. Once we left the strip, the bright red and yellow colors of the crab shack caught our attention. We are glad that we stopped. This was the best crab cake that we have ever had in a long time! We have been to a number of other top rated places (Faidleys, G&M, etc.) and this place is right up there and maybe better, but way cheaper - $10 per cake. It was made of pure, sweet, succulent, crab meat and didn't contain any fillers (breadcrumbs, etc.) and seasonings (mustard, etc.). I forgot to ask about the source of the crabs. On the other hand, the fries that came with it weren't crispy and hard a cardboard texture to them. Although we didn't get any steamed crabs, the prices were 30-40% cheaper than DC and quality seemed better. In conclusion, we are always stopping here for a meal when we drive up to NYC. read more

Was very disappointed with the dinners. The dinners all tasted the same. Cooked in the same oil. Hush puppies, crab balls and deviled egg crab were very tasteless. Maybe the steamed crabs are good but I think I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

Early crabs (May) ... so they were light ... excellent seasoning ... fresh cooked and hot ... corn was outstanding ! Will go back for hopefully heavier crabs next time ... had success here in the past so looking forward to the next time ! read more

I downloaded this app just to make sure people know that Jac's Crabs is HANDS DOWN the best crab place I've ever dealt with. Tried them for the first time tonight, Got the $1 crab special, which were some of the FULLEST, MOST FLAVORFUL crabs I've ever had. These crabs filled me up, and we all know crabs hardly EVER do that. Some of the best seasoning I've personally ever had. A+ customer service and hardly any wait time. These guys are the pinnacle of service for seafood in Harford County. I'll never go anywhere else. Way to go! read more

We have gotten carry out here before . Shrimp salad good , crab cake was a little dry . The biggest disappointment was the crabs . They were very small and some were empty . We will go to our usual place from now on to get crabs . Not here. The crabs were tiny and most were empty . We should of got our money back . Never again will we get anything from here . read more

This was our first time getting crabs here, and they were very good. Service was good, the place was clean inside, and the people were friendly. We'll come back for certain. read more

We got four dozen crabs here for some guests that were from out of town. We wanted to show them how Maryland does crabs. They were delicious, well seasoned and true to their size. They also threw in a few extra. We also got their shrimp. You're better off going to shoprite and having them steam some for you. We'll definitely be back for the crabs, but we'll pass on the shrimp! read more

I was craving some seafood and my search led me here. I got the steamed jumbo shrimp and Maryland Crab soup. I was surprised to find that they take the raw shrimp straight from the case and steam it up for you as you order. That was an excellent touch, fresh hot food that was still steaming when I got back to the hotel. The seasoning on the shrimp was note perfect and the coctail sauce wotked with it well. Not too strong and matched up with the seasoning perfectly. The soup was really good too. The only draw back was that there really wasn't much crab in the soup and because it's not really crab based it was more like a tomato based veggie soup. Still really good, just not quite up to expectations. Definitely worth going back and working my way down the menu! read more

First time customer today. Ordered a dozen XL, the only size of males left. They were pretty small, mostly medium sized and horribly light. Ordered a side of slaw and it smelled awful, most certainly the mayonnaise was bad. Was really hoping for a better experience. read more
