Very disappointed to have driven 40 minutes to eat there when their website says they are open till 9:00 PM on Wednesday night only to find out that they close at 8 PM. Please update your website with the correct hours as it was extremely disappointing to get there and have you be closed. read more

This is supposedly the best place to get crabs in Harford County. It is an old little restaurant that has two sides, a dining room and a little fish market. They are located in a little shopping center with a parking lot. The dining area is a little small but a bunch of tables. The staff is friendly and attentive. Some meals come with a side salad which was nice, they had plenty of dressings to choose from. They serve soup of the day as well. They had little fried crab wontons my friend said was really good. They looked crispy and you know the meat is fresh. I had the shrimp scampi and it may have been one of my top 5 favorite shrimp scampis I have ever had. The shrimp was fresh and not over cooked. It was not chewy and it was easy to cut into. I am not usually crazy about angel hair pasta but the flavors with it made it so good. The garlic bread on the side was a great touch to this dish. I loved it. My boyfriend had a burger and really liked it, the fries were cooked just right. It was an enjoyable dinner! read more

As the saying goes, "when in Rome" and so we just had to try crabs while in Maryland. And we sure got the experience here! This is a small venue but was able to accommodate our large group of 9, including two kids. TWe were immediately seated and the table was draped in brown paper. I had never eaten at a seafood restaurant so I didn't know what to expect, and I was concerned about table manners. But I quickly learned that essentially goes out the door here. Seriously, everyone is there to dig in, literally, and just have a good time. The kids entertained themselves with the mallets while we feasted. We started with calamari and a dozen+ hard shell crabs for the table. A perfect way to pass the time as we waited for our main course. Speaking of, I had a fried crab cake with a side of fries and onion rings. I'd recommend ordering a side of butter for dipping the crab. Overall everything was good and glad I can finally check the MD crab experience off the food bucket list! read more

The shrimp bisque has excellent flavor. It's a shame that it wasn't hot, it was warm at best. Of course the waitress wasn't very attentive to our needs or personable at all. read more

We love Madonnas Seafood! Hands down one of the best restaurants for All You Can Eat crabs. The staff is great, and the restaurant is super clean. They have a full menu with tons of choices and even sell pizza next door as part of their business. If they have the shrimp and asparagus soup, we highly recommended it! read more

Excellent place for crabs. Highly recommend. Very good service and in a nice spot.

Great food, no waiting, goes the extra mile. Fresh ingredients and takes the time to do it right. Good service. Will be back.

Friendly server with a nice smile and very attentive. No oysters and clams which was a bummer being a seafood restaurant an no to go cups ? May or may not be back after traveling an hour an a half read more

Madonna has amazing food and a great selection There is something for everyone. We usually get Crabs on Sundays and they are the best ever and worth the 28 minute drive to get there. read more

We have visited Madonna Seafood several times over the past three years and have never been disappointed with the meals nor the service. We have also purchased gift cards to give to our friends at Christmas. That changed Wednesday afternoon when we stopped by to get a quart of Cream of Crab Soup. When we arrived home we ate it and were greatly disappointed. There was virtually NO crab meat in it. We do not mind spending $19 for a quart of Cream of Crab Soup but please, add some crab meat to the broth. It was basically a salty broth. Disappointed. Sam read more

Our party of two arrived a little after 430pm on a July Saturday afternoon. We were told a 10-15 minute wait which turned out to be about 20 minutes. I opted for the AYCE crabs for $39.99. I was the only one eating crabs at my table. Our server brought out 8 crabs for me to start. Then halfway through, she offered me another tray. I asked her for just four crabs. They seasoning was probably the beat I've ever had. Loved the loaded Old Bay and coarse salt flavor. The AYCE crab special comes with a bowl of soup (a $6.00 value.) There are three soups from which to choose: Maryland Crab, Cream of Crab and Creamy Asparagus. I opted for Maryland Crab. It did not disappoint. Full of vegetables and great crab seasoning. Two hour time limit on AYCE crabs. Lots of great menu items too. Would like to come back another time to try something different. By 630pm, there were plenty of seats available and no wait. Highly recommend. read more

I had the ayce crabs. They were very, very small. And I had a couple that were inedible. The service was the best, Sophia was a gem. And this wasn't my first rodeo there. But this trip will be the one I think about when deciding to come back again.. read more

Great food. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. I enjoyed the seafood tortellini and house salad very much. We'll be back the next time we're in the area. read more

They definitely cut down on the amount of steak on steak subs.and the fries are not eatable.i will stick with strapastas 10 minutes away.

Greetings, Let me start off by saying that the service was excellent. Ashley M served our dinner and she was delightful, friendly, prompt and made a fresh pot of coffee for my enjoyment. We have always had good service at Madonna's and yesterday was no exception. Thank You Ashley M. We have been dining at Madonna's Seafood Restaurant for several years and have always had a tasty meal and good service. Yesterday was an exception. We dined late in the afternoon and had a late lunch. My wife had prime rib, which in the past has always been good. Yesterday's Prime Rib was overly salted and peppered plus it was chewy. A lower quality than usual. She had Brussels Sprouts as a side and they were overcooked and bitter. I had the mea tloaf which is usually very good and satisfying. Yesterday it was different. The flavor was strong but I am not sure if it was the gravy or the meat. I hope that Madonna's has not started using prepared Sysco food. We certainly plan on returning. These two meals may have just been an anomaly. It is a seafood restaurant so perhaps we should choose something from their variety of tasty seafood next time. Regards, Sam read more

We got there at a good time and we're seated immediately. We both got AUCE crabs with the Cream of Crab soup. I personally am very picky when it comes to Cream of Crab soup and it just didn't do it for me. Barely any meat and the taste was off. My friend loved it though. The crabs weren't bad persay they were just very very tiny. Tbh not worth the work to get all the meat out to make it worth the price. I told my friend I'd rather go elsewhere and buy 6 each medium/large crabs for a few bucks more. That would've been better for me personally. The waitress was nice but you could tell she was busy. The restaurant itself got very busy soon after we were seated so we arrived at a great time. I think it was like 1 or 2pm. I don't think I'll be going back but it's only been a week and my friends already gone back a second time so she obviously enjoyed it. read more

Food is very good. The specials are good! I'm looking forward to visiting again! This is one of my favorite places!

Waste of $100.00 Food was cat food. Cream of crab soup tastes like raw flour. Imported crab meat. . I had rock fish said it was broiled tasted like it was boiled. No seasoning at all. Please save your money go to Wawa or 7-11. Use to be really good last time I will go. read more

Restaurant was very clean, hostess and waitress were very kind. Wait was only approximately 10 minutes even with them being very busy. The cream of crab soup was over spiced with Old Bay or what ever seasoning they use to the point it should have been called cream Old Bay. My wife had a chicken dinner which she said was good. I had the two Crab cakes which were a good size for the price. I had sides of macaroni and cheese and stewed tomatoes. Neither of which were hot more like warm at best. The Mac & cheese was over cooked(pasta soft) and flavor was rancid! wife tried it as well and did not like. I ate one crab cake of the two with the tartar sauce. It was gross tasting like blue cheese and maybe a hint of dill. At that point I was not feeling well! I was very surprised and a bit disappointed in the flavor of the food. I ate the remaining Crab Cake the next day and it was good ( with my own tarter.) read more

The best crabcakes made without any filler! The place was packed for dinner but we were there early and seated quickly. I can imagine the wait to be longer as many others we're picking their own crabs in the company of friends and family! read more

we got crabs from Madonna ,Mothers day..It WAS the last dozen large males in Harford n Baltimore Co.They were the BEST we have had,everyone heavy n delish !!This is where we will be getting our from now on ..... thank you Pattsie Gordon!!! read more

Was driving back to PA from visiting family and ordered ahead for takeout. They are still on point with their crab cakes, lots of lump crab meat. I also ordered scallops, jumbo shrimp with mac n cheese. The shrimp were good, scallops were just ok and mac n cheese was mediocre. The chocolate chip cookies are a whole vibe *chef's kiss* Will make it a point to stop and get the cookies anytime I'm driving by read more

We had the best AYCE crabs, waitress was amazing. Location in a small mall but the food is great, don't let the looks turn you off, highly recommended. read more

Great food. Best price for crabs that we could find nearby. It is always busy on the weekends.

Crabs are the best of anywhere!' Service and servers are amazing. Also love that you can buy fishers popcorn ! read more

Always got crab cake platters here. Were consistently great until today. The broiled crab cake was way too salty, it had lump meat on the top but the rest of the crab cake was cheaper crabmeat. For $40 it was a disappointment. read more

Run away! Go somewhere else. J-ville grill for pizza, and Wargos for seafood and crab cakes. Hell, I would even pick Highs in stead of this place, and actually did at the advice of their own staff. I generally don't write reviews unless its awesome or atrocious. This place has become the latter. I'm a physician, it's not like I can't go anywhere I choose, and I'll never go back here; and the department of health needs to come place cameras in the back and see what goes on. Seriously, run somewhere else! Over priced and under quality! Rude to customers. Sadly I grew up in the area, Like 40 years, 4 miles away, been here a while. This place was always a bit on the pricey side, but it was local. Now, it's overpriced, and under quality. The manager is a jackass, and the owners son who runs the place has no sense of ownership. Mistreatment and abuse of the waitstaff by management and borderline sexual harassment is apparently par for the course there. I'm by no means some bleeding heart liberal, but I wouldn't let my daughter work there. They do not care about their customers, and I would not be surprised if they are spitting on your food. It's a small town, and word gets around fast. I will never go back to this place ever again. read more

Wait staff was super friendly. Service was fast. I am always drawn to the seafood platter at seafood restaurants. This was probably one of the best I have ever had. Crab cake was superior jumbo lump. Everything was cooked perfectly and not drowning in butter. We also got fried oysters wrapped in bacon. I'd never had them before, and I can't say I am a fan. They were cooked and seasoned very well, nice a crispy, but just too heavy for me. It's in a strip mall, and the vibe is very casual, which is just my style. Prices were reasonable for the quality. Wide selection of seafood, american fare, and italian. read more

In this time of COVID-19, with all the craziness and closures, this place is handlin it's business with a full on carry-out only service that is working like a well oiled machine. This stomach is superbly impressed with the pizza at this "seafood" shop. Yes, that's right... I growled out about their pizza. Oh, and the deviled eggs are da bomb too. I have also tasted the fried soft shell crab sandwich, the cheesesteak sub, and the Maryland crab soup in a bread bowl (all totally awesome too), but the best kept secret at this joint is THE PIZZA! Don't forget that they always have a running special where two large pizzas are just $15.99 (plus toppings). It's a killer deal for two big "steaming hot" pizzas, and it's just plain killer pizza at that! Listen to what your stomach says, and call in a carry out pizza order today! read more

We had a very good meal. Crab pretzel was solid. My fried flounder sandwich was fresh and crisp. Daughters' crab soup in bread bowl was perfect: not too thick and a very fresh, light bread bowl. Look forward to going back. read more

Had the best service from John! Food was awesome! Highly recommend. The stuffed mushrooms are the best and my fav.

Cannot give it more than three stars because it wasn't open on a Monday even though the website said it would be open. Not a holiday Monday. Something must have come up. Will have to visit it some other time. It has a decent reputation for steamed crabs. read more

Very good Food ,our server Sophia was excellent ,very affable and very friendly and very attentive.We will definitely came back. read more

Madonna Seafood Restaurant - Calamari very good. - Seafood Near Me - White Hall, Maryland

Overpriced for what you get, and for God's sake, make sure you verify your phone order with whatever young ditz that answers the phone, otherwise you may not get what you thought you ordered. Not sure why they have such a problem with the young people that work here, but wow, knuckleheads..... pay more and get better staff; it will make for happier customers. read more

Love Madonna Seafood! Great kids menu and expansive seafood menu for the adults. I try to visit every time I am home.

All you can eat crab night. Overpriced for the crab qual. Party of 4. Soups way to salty. First tray of crabs were fine, Mediums. Second tray smalls, light weight and pretty grungy looking. Taste on second tray I rejected as the appeal and fullness were definitely lacking. I would head to Conrad's Crabs in Jacksonville. Brought my husband home 2 broiled crab cakes. He gave them a 4 out of 10. He loved the ones from The Local so much better. Will not be returning to Madonna Seafood. Just an update, I vomited and had stomach pains the next day. read more

Madonna seafood has great crab dip but one thing that bothers me if you get the cream of crab soup with your meal they won't let you take it with you if you don't finish it. If it came with the meal I ordered then why can't I take it? When I asked that question the server got nasty and said we can't do that. I then asked what do you do with the soup I didn't finish and she said throw it away! If that's true then why can't I take my soup?! That seems weird to me and I'm almost scared that they put it back in the pot back there so I won't be going back. It's a shame. read more

One of my absolute favorites! Super friendly staff, amazing all you can eat crabs! They are nice sized and seasoned perfectly! Their cream Of crab soup is very good, and their shrimp salad is the best! I wish I lived closer, but when I am in town I could go everyday! Very casual and relaxed! Oh, and what an amazing crab pretzel;) read more

A great local restaurant with outstanding seafood dishes and steamed crabs! We haven't had a bad meal here... my favorite is the sour beef and dumplings house special. read more

Was there last night after nearly 2 years in covid lockdown...and what a treat! Food was awesome... my party each had the prime rib special which I had to sample and it was fantastic! Tender and tasty! I had the shrimp and pasta Diablo and it was equally great. Very tasty with just the right amount of spice. So happy they are open for dining and I'll definitely be back... and for those worried about cleanliness, they did an awesome job of keeping things clean with lots of table and chair Cleaning. read more
