Love their crabs! We usually get large males but they ran out for Mother's Day so we had the regs and they weren't too bad! They ran pretty heavy and were very tasty! We also usually get the steamed shrimp as well which is steamed perfectly! read more

Joe's Seafood - Crabs - Restaurants Near Me - Severna Park, Maryland

Great spot to pick up a quick lunch... we got jumbo lump crab cakes with fries and slaw. They have a choice of fried or broiled for the crab cakes. Everything was delicious! Their fries seemed to be hand cut, and were perfectly seasoned. Their tartar and cocktail sauces were also very good. This is a seafood market/supplier. They have a nice selection on display, sell premade seafood salads, crabmeat, and fresh fish, scallops, oysters and shrimp. I'm sure it's a seasonal selection. For us today, this was a perfect find on our way to the airport! read more

I got a half dozen jumbos yesterday, some of the worst crabs I've ever had. They were either over cooked or re-heated crabs, I'm going with they were re-heats. In the past they've been great, but the meat was really dry, this is the second time this has happened, I didn't complain last time because I always give people a second chance, but I don't think I'll be returning as a customer this time. I'm on disability, can't get crabs as often as I used to with todays prices, so it really sucks to have something like this happen. The jumbo shrimp was good though. read more

Joe's Seafood - the remains of a dead fish - Restaurants Near Me - Severna Park, Maryland

this is the best place ever I go here once a week, the crab meat is so white and fluffy and the shrimp are so big I can't wait till they own back up in March read more

I've been going here for years. No one in SP thinks they are great but it's a convenient location. Anyhow, a few weeks ago they shorted us a half dozen crabs. No big deal, I figured we would tell them next time we returned to get more crabs. Well, I just returned and they refused to do anything about the half dozen crabs because "you should have called right away last time". No kidding. When I pressed him, he said it was an accounting issue. Haha! The guy telling me this said he was a manager and part owner. Wow. He's losing a customer over 6 crabs. SMH. read more

For Mothers Day I was trying to find reasonable priced crabs for 1/2 Bushel. They accommodated me at very short notice & the price was competitive compared to others in the area. I got 1/2 Bushel of Medium Male Crabs for $180. The seasoning was excellent & the crabs were heavy & meaty! I was very satisfied & will be going back. read more

Joes Seafood is a reliable Seafood option that is well priced for quality seafood. My family ordered enough food for a crab feast and Joe's delivered! Our crabs were delicious and so were our sides. I recommend the the large crabs - they had a ton of meat and were well seasoned with lots of Old Bay. (We got a 1/2 bushel which is 3 dozen- shown in pics) The Cream of Crab soup was ok and very thick and I could have done without. Highly recommend Joe's if you are looking for crabs in the area! read more

The other reviews indicate the staff can be rude. I did not experience this because Rockstar picked up the order. I must say these were the best crab cakes I have ever experienced and I have had some of the best. The extra large crabs were amazing. I love you people who try to buy less expensive and expect significant amounts of crab meat. Skinny cows = small steaks. Overall experience from a food quality standpoint was exceptional. read more

Called in my order for crabs in the morning and they were ready for pickup at my desired time. Cooked fresh hot and JO spiced absolutely perfectly! It was my first time buying from here. They offered to pay over the phone and have curbside pickup too! The Jumbos are fantastic! The prices are very high though, maybe because of Covid? Five stars all around! read more

Came to Joe's on a recommendation by a friend. Called in my order for later in the afternoon and it was ready on time and HOT! The staff was very friendly and provided prompt service. The prices were incredibly fair and the crabs were delicious. I maybe had one bad crab in the bunch. I would definitely go to them again for steamed crabs. read more

Crabs were delicious and ready fast and nice and full. The pricing was also really good for Anne Arundel!! They also have cold crab specials and other types of seafood. I'm sad I didn't try them until recently but this will definitely be the regular spot now. read more

We love Joe's! Always consistent with their food. I recently ordered food over Memorial weekend. Jumbo steamed shrimp, veg crab soup, hush puppies, coleslaw, macaroni salad. Everything was delicious! read more

After reading all the bad reviews I was hesitant to go in. They weren't rude, but not overly friendly. There is a bunch of kids that work there and definitely have to grab their attention, but when you do they were friendly and helpful. Hopefully the crabs are good!! Great selection of seafood to try out. I was quite impressed with the selection. read more

Amazing prices and heavy crabs. And service was amazing. Can't ask for more. Will surely be back soon.

$10 for a dozen cold crabs with the seasoning! Come on! You can't beat that price! Easy for picking to make the best crab cakes, as long as I don't eat all the meat first. read more

Always the friendliest employees from order phone call to pick up! Fresh seafood and the county's BEST take out crab prices. Crabs are always steaming hot and seasoned well! Look for their specials on FB. I just wish they had a presence elsewhere. read more

they can remove light weight crabs instead of selling them... the choice to sell light crabs is the decision the managers make! The spice on the crabs and the shrimps was very good. I'm paying a lot of money for light and empty crabs! Time to look at another local vendor! This weekend the price was way over the top.. I bet, no that the 4th is over, the prices will fall back down.. now if they can just get rid of the light crabs!!! read more

After having a minor yet less than stellar customer service experience on the phone I called back and spoke with Joe himself. I explained what happened and explained that I had been a customer for over ten years. When he refused to explain his employee's actions or apologize for them, I informed him that I would no longer be a customer. His response? "That's fine. That is okay by me." I have been a chef for nearly 20 years folks. Joe is over priced and the quality is meh at best. I shopped here for convience and to support a local business. Apparently Joe thinks he has too many customers so I will help him out and never shop there again. Cheaper better crabs at Rey's and the other place right before 10. read more

Ordered 3 of the crabcake super meals for New Year Eve. Person on phone was friendly and helpful. The crabcakes were horrible. 1/4 pound of filler. Seems to be frozen box product. Can get better ones from the grocery store. $100 wasted. read more

This place a great secret for out of town visitors for lunch. Looks like a very clean fresh seafood market, and they offer prepared options like a fantastic crab cake sandwich! Go in and tell them what you want such as hush puppies instead of French Fries! Then go to your car and have a rest until they bring your lunch to you there. Perfect! Look forward to returning! read more

Decided to try this place after a community Facebook page raved about it. After getting the lightest crabs I've ever had here, I'm not sure what the fuss was about. Ordered medium crabs and some were so light, they weren't worth picking and some looked illegally small and definitely not medium. We won't be back. read more

Joe's continues to deliver a great meal..crabs today were GREAT. People are very friendly and helpful.

Just had some extra large crabs. We wanted some before the weather cooled down. They were big and full last-of-the-season crabs. The unbelievable buy one any dozen, get one free deal made them even sweeter! read more

I have been going here for many years and I am never disappointed. Quality crabs and their shrimp products are second to none. Prepared foods are very good as well. read more

I was very disappointed by the crabs I got on the 4th of July this year. I got larges and everyone of the crabs were over cooked . Also they were hollow and very little meat inside them. I would have gotten more meat if I had just got the already pick lump crab meat then in 2dozen crabs I had gotten from Joe's. This will be the last time I buy crabs from Joe's. read more

Have been coming here with my family since I was a kid. Now I've been bringing my family. The last two experiences have been HORRIBLE. Between the crabs and the staff, I can't recommend this place. They're lucky they don't have much competition in the immediate area but if you're in SP and looking for crabs, be forewarned of an awful experience. I guess if you get the $10 cold crabs that are females or paper thin light you can't complain but when you spend good money on crabs for the family you have an expectation. I recommend Shoreline Seafood or if you get lucky and catch the guy by the Severna Park Lanes bowling alley. read more

Great Crabs and Great prices. Always go to get my Crabs from this place. Recommend if you love seafood. Worth the trip

I've purchased crabs from Joe's for the last two years and have never had a bad experience with size or quality of crab. They clearly tell you where the crabs are from -- some from the Chesapeake others from the Carolinas (unlike other places that simply say "chesapeake bay crabs"). Anyone who knows anything about crabs knows that if you have a good variety of sizes, males and females, they are probably from a variety of locations. read more

This place was one of my favorite places until I had to return cold crabs. The manager was really nice over the phone, but when I showed up in person, it was a total different story. He was really rude and asked me not to come back. I told him that I really like this place and just got a bad batch of crabs. He told me that I'm going to give you your money back and he suggested that i never come back. How racist is thatwe have to make a difference in this world one day. So on that note.. I'll never eat at this place again....... read more

Last Mother's Day, I called in an order for 2 dozen large males, paying their premium price (expensive but don't recall exactly how much at the time). When I got home, a lot of the "large" crabs were at best medium sizes. When I called they told me what constituted a large in their minds. I was very upset since this to me "constituted" false advertisement. I've never come back to Joe's since. There's a place in Glen Burnie, SeaSide carry-out, whose mediums are bigger than Joe's larges. Live and learn. read more

I had crabs in 2014 and they tasted like tar. Some of the shells were void of meat. Some of the crabs were undersized. In other words, the worst crab experience I have had. Not sure where they got their tarry, undersized, sometimes crabless crabs. I wish there were more reviews of this place. read more

Ordered crabs this morning for afternoon pickup. They were ready when I arrived. I was promptly greeted by a polite young lady and she quickly rang up my purchase. The crabs were hot and tasty and their price was slightly less than other local crab houses! Would not hesitate to recommend them! read more

Had crabs last week. They were seasoned perfectly. The shrimp salad was amazing. Cream of crab was awesome

They were good for a while then the last few times I went they kept screwing up my orders. I suppose that's what you get with a bunch of kids goofing off when they should be working. Sure hate they've gone downhill.... read more

This is by far the worst place to go to I called about reserving crabs for tomorrow and also asked if they had corn they said they were sold out I then asked if I could bring corn and was told yes over the phone but when I got the the owner Joe was completely rude and said he didn't care that I could purchase my crabs elsewhere I would of had no problem buying there 2 dozen corn if they would of had them read more

Been coming here for years. Great crabs at a great price. Also the shrimp are great along with the md vegetable crab. If you want to save the money of restaurant prices but get the same great taste. Come here. read more

We felt like having crab cakes after talking to a friend who said they had Joe's delicious crab cakes for dinner. We decided to give Joe's a try. We were not disappointed. The staffer who answered the phone could not have been more helpful. He said the order would be ready in 30 minutes and it was ready. I changed my order at Joe's to add two items. No problem the staffer said--they made me feel very at ease. Problem with my credit card --me trying to tap would not work--no problem, he said again and showed me how to get it to read immediately. Very pleased with the customer service. The food--best lump crab cakes we have had in a long time. We had them broiled They were chock full of lump crab meat. Very little filler. I thought they were totally perfect. My husband thought they could have had more Old Bay but said he still considered it a great crab cake as served. We will be ordering again, soon. read more

Love Joes! I am never disappointed with the size or price! Cannot wait to order some soon!

I have been coming here for the past two years and never disappointed. The prices are almost always the best for crabs. I usually call around and they beat most prices by the dozen by about 10-15 dollars. Usually the have specials on the regulars - three dozen for around 35-40 which puts the crabs at a little more then a dollar a piece. Shrimp are also good. For less then 50 dollars you can get three dozen crabs and a pound of shrimp. Not sure why other reviewers have said their experience with the staff was bad - I have never been treated less then great. It can be hard to find a work force for only the summer so you can't expect the staff to be very old. If you are looking for Maryland crabs only you should call first as in the off season they are usually from Louisiana. But hey they are all blue crabs in the end. Also they have a great deal if you are looking to make crab soup or crab cakes as they have dozens mixed cold for only 10 dollars! read more

I've been coming to Joe's Seafood for over two years now for crabs and all I can say is wow! Great prices, great deals... Especially in the winter. Only one time I had a problem with the size of the crabs I ordered so I brought them back and the Owner personally steamed me up some new crabs! The staff is friendly and helpful and on the weekends they are open early enough for a full day crab feast! read more
