    Don't let the name deceive you. Capt'n Chucky's Crab Cakes has much more than crab cakes. Aside…read morefrom the fresh and frozen seafood selection and a variety of soups and sauces, they also carry Zook's pot pies, Stock's pound cake, Talluto's pasta, Maddalena's cheese cake, Chef's Key Lime pie, Pierogie Kitchen pierogie and more. If you're a fan of OTC oyster crackers, they have them, too!! The only thing missing that I'd love to see them carry is Fishwife tinned fish. (Fingers crossed). I picked up some clams casino and they did not disappoint. The name says "crab cakes" but there is so much more!! The service was excellent, too.

    Capt'n Chucky's Crab Cakes changed hands several months ago. The original owner/operators sold the…read morebusiness to a new local family; apparently just in the nick of time. A look at reviews from the last few years read of disappointment in the products available in their cold displays. A change was needed to inject new life and renewed quality into the good Capt'n. That has been accomplished. My recent visit demonstrated that management is actively engaged in rebuilding brand by focusing on returning everything that the seafood market was previously known for to their former glory, as well as expanding with high end crab adjacent goods, like packaged pastas, pierogi, sauces and Stock pound cakes. All this, and the smiling repartee from Mark, one half of the new team running the business. This shop may be small, but it is bright and friendly. Of course, the crab is excellent, especially in light of the fact that Chucky is no where near the Chesapeake and must have inventory all year, and not just in crab season. No whole live crabs in the house, but their thing is the cake that lump crabmeat can create. Several options depending on your taste are available. I purchased a quart of Cream of Roasted Corn & Crab Soup and sampled three large fresh Shrimp. The chowder was delicious, with lots of corn and shredded sweet crab. Maybe not quite as meaty as I have loved in Annapolis, the Eastern Shore or the Delaware Beaches, but compelling nonetheless. Maybe next time I will pick up some of the pierogi and pound cakes to create a full meal. 5 Crusty Stars and only five miles from home.

    We originally came here on an invitation from our financial advisor. We've been back s number of…read moretimes since. This is a fun place to go. Jean Pierre's offers several options. There are different food offerings such as Italian, tapas, Mediterranean and the like. There Baldo something called cooking with the chef. With cooking with the chef it is restricted to a specific number of couples. In cooking with the chef you actually participate in making your meal. There is typically three courses. One time we made crab stacks which were delicious The chef prepared all of the ingredients. Each ingredient is passed along to build the appetizer. In addition, you might get selected to help the chef directly. That night we had a stuffed chicken breast with root vegetables. The dinner was finished with chocolate crepes with a creme anglais sauce. You bring your own wine to drink. The cost is $65.00 per person. We ve been back numerous times and have never had a bad meal. It's a great place to go with several other couples. Be forewarned, the doors fill up fast so you often have to book months in advance.

    We went here a number of years ago for a cooking demonstration for my 40th birthday and enjoyed it…read moreso much, but kept forgetting to go back. This time we went for a Cooking Class and it was memorable again. Joan and Chef Jean Pierre are the best, what a great team. We brought a nice bottle of wine to drink, class was a mixture of instruction followed by hands-on cooking/preparing. We prepared three courses: 1. Smoked Duck and Chicken Tower Salad (wow!) 2. Crab Cakes with Mussel Sauce (who knew to put cream in with mussels to make a mussel cream sauce for crab cakes?) 3. Hot Chocolate Souffle (gluten free! my wife loved it and it was only eggs, chocolate, and sugar) We could make all three at home (I'm pretty sure) Small class (only ten people), great Chef, great atmosphere (TVs showing close-ups of Chef on wall), plus hands-on! We booked out next class for April before we left, can;t wait for "A Taste of Italy"

Tons of cheap Chinese American dishes like found in most corner take out shops, plus for dinner the addition of a few higher end items like steamed crayfish, shrimp, crab and fresh fish fillets in various spicy or sweet/sour sauces. These last ones are only available after the lunch service is over and the crowd rushes in for supper. Very large dining room accommodates several hundred people at once, and the buy in is only $13.99 for lunch and $18.99 for dinner. Price is right. Beyond all that, there is also more traditional American fare like chicken wings and fries for the cuisine challenged. Too, plenty of sushi and desserts from jello to cheesecake, not to mention a chocolate fountain when it is working. Problem is that almost everything is cool when eaten from sitting around on the serving tables so long, and the quality of the kitchen is about the same as found in most corner Chinois Americano houses; which is to say, mediocre at best. However, if you focus on the seafood and shellfish, you may feel satisfied. I saw many people with plate fulls of crab and cray or shrimp, up to their elbows in breaking shells and sucking out the meat with abandon. Those folks really got their money's worth. The rest of us, well, it was a closer proposition. But, witnessing how into it my lady was (at least three plates piled high with broken and crushed crab shells), I suspect we will be visiting this old joint with some frequency, along with the thousands of others who can't get enough of too much.

    Dinner arrived from Poke Ocean in Morrisville, PA, having survived the perilous journey from…read morekitchen to hotel lobby in a paper bag that looked as though it had seen things. Inside were shrimp shumai, gyoza, Chili Korean Bao, a two-protein poke burrito stuffed with crab meat and spicy tuna, plus a spicy tuna roll and a spicy scallop roll. This is more food than any two people strictly need, which is one of civilization's finer achievements. The good news: nothing was bad. Not a single bite asked to be forgiven. The shrimp shumai were the clear overachievers: plump, warm, and reassuring, like a friendly lecture from someone who actually did the reading. The spicy scallop roll was their equal, delivering that perfect balance of heat and sweetness that makes you briefly optimistic about the future of humankind. The poke burrito was ambitious, a bold little manifesto wrapped in rice and seaweed. Crab meat and spicy tuna got along just fine, though the whole affair leaned more toward "good" than "revelation." The spicy tuna roll was solid and dependable, like a Midwestern uncle who always shows up on time. The gyoza and Chili Korean Bao did their jobs honorably, though neither demanded a standing ovation. Everything arrived intact, flavorful, and prepared by people who seemed to care, always a comfort in an indifferent universe. Four stars, then, because perfection is suspicious and because it's nice to leave something to strive for tomorrow.
