We sat for a bit reviewing the menu which was kind of confusing to understand. We decided to get to boils one with shrimp, sausage and snow crabs with the house blend. The other had shrimp, snow crabs and boiled eggs in the house blend We were offered a complimentary appetizer so we went with hush puppies. I ordered a Chardonnay and vodka soda. It took awhile to get our drinks and the appetizer came out with the food. The crab boil came with the full setup (bucket, gloves, and bibs) and paper covered table. The flavors were bursting and the house blend was delightful, the shrimp were large and the boil came with 2 potatoes and a small ear of corn. We had to ask few times for the cracker for our snow crabs. The food was plentiful and I couldn't finish it all. The restaurant was large with a front bar and they played hip hop and r&b music which made it a vibe. I would return again and hope the service is a little faster and we get everything we need in time for our meal. Definitely check Red Crab out if you're ever nearby.

I ordered one of the seafood broil options that included a half pound of crab legs, headless shrimp, sausage, corn on the cob, and potatoes in the house spice blend medium. They usually have a DJ on Friday evenings in the back lounge with food and drink discounts, but unfortunately he/she didn't show up. At any rate the vibe was inviting and relaxed and the food was good. If you want to enjoy good tasting seafood broil in an inviting restaurant that rocks nice music Red Crab House in Laurel, MD is the spot!

Everything was great. The salmon entree is two salmon steaks with a thick layer of crab filling in between. The top salmon steak was thick, but remarkably moist and cooked perfectly. Each of the veggies was good. Huge portion of everything. My partner and I shared everything and ate about 1/4 of the food, taking the rest home for lunch/dinner tomorrow.

Customers who ordered after me were receiving their food first, and my order was never even called. My friend eventually had to go up and ask where my food was before it was brought out. The ladies' restroom was clean, which I appreciated, but there were no paper towels, only one hand dryer, and surprisingly no mirror at all. That was especially odd considering there were several large mirrors in the bar area. If you have plenty of time, the food may be worth it, but I would not recommend going there during a lunch break unless you order well ahead. The food was good, but the overall experience was too slow and inconvenient for me to return for lunch.

It was a bummer they ran out of cod, so we will have to come back earlier in the day next time.

My sandwich usually comes with pure crabmeat, no fillers, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions. This sandwich is filling. If you pay cash the sandwich is $24.

This time was no different. We decided to share the crabmeat cheesesteak and the lobster melt. Both were delicious. The crab cheesesteak was flavorful and filled with crab (not just that filler stuff). It's Maryland, come with it! My only ick was the over salty flavor that lingered after each bite. Half of the sandwich was more than enough for that reason. Maybe tone down the old bay?! The lobster melt was a yummy follow-up. It was juicy and buttery, and the squeeze of a lemon wedge was a chef's kiss accoutrement. I'd definitely go here again when I'm in the area! Service was friendly; we ordered to-go. I honestly do not remember anything re: seating/tables. We were too busy snapping silly photos with the giant, colorful crab outside lol

I was licking my fingers and getting sauce everywhere. Worth it. The House sauce is amazing. Parking is directly out front, located on a small strip by Los Primos. You're in for a treat.

We waited quite a while to be seated despite the restaurant not seeming overly crowded. Our server was friendly, though a few requests had to be repeated. The food was just okay. My fettuccine Alfredo was mediocre, my mom wasn't impressed with her meal, and my daughter didn't eat much of hers either. I also ordered a margarita with tajín on the rim, which completely overpowered the drink for me. The highlight of the visit was the complimentary Mother's Day stemless wine glass, which was a thoughtful touch and a nice keepsake. Overall, BJ's remains about where I remember it--perfectly fine, but nothing that has me rushing back.

We were celebrating my dad's birthday and our server brought out a sign that said "Happy Birthday Dad" for the occasion. He was kind and courteous throughout the meal despite also bartending at the time. The food was rich, but quite tasty. Everyone loved everything we tried - from the spinach dip appetizer to the various entrees. Everything was seasoned really well and cooked to perfection. My partner commented that the roast chicken was really moist and juicy. My sister got the fried chicken which was sooo crispy and packed with flavor. My salmon (pictured) was a hefty portion and really flavorful. Nearly everyone had leftovers, which definitely justified the pricing. If you like bread pudding, don't skip dessert! That dessert was one of the best I've had.

She said"the kitchen" messed up packing my order but instead of sending it back, she "fixed it". Honestly it seemed like she was trying to get me my food on time, but management should have been called to solve this problem and ensure I didnt leave the restaurant with collard greens missing all their juices. I didnt know what exactly happened with tje packaging, so since I was told the problem was "fixed", I took my food and left. The worst part was the deviled egg appetizer. Another casualty of the kitchen, apparently. It looked unappetizing when I got home and opened it, and the crab topping that I paid an extra $3 for gave off a very strong smell (reminiscent of the kitchen of a seafood restaurent) and also appeared wet. I'd guess they took crab straight from a can, put it on top of the eggs, and covered it with old bay seasoning. Very disappointing. Sadly these were not the only issues, as the collard greens themselves were bland and a little tough. There was also a wooden stick in my greens?? Not sure why. Although the catfish was fried well, that's the only satisfactory thing about this experience, and everything else ruined it.
