The oysters were smallish (which I think are the best!), and fried just right and were very tasty. I think he said there were 9. It came with fries, as well. We've also been there for Sunday brunch, and the crab cake Benedict is a real treat! Staff is friendly, as well. The young man who served us this time even recognized us! But, all staff members there have been excellent.

Not really authentic at all. Rice was plain and there was no Cajun flavor profile. I also had the cream of crab soup and that was ok. Unfortunately for them, I just had that at Fisherman's Crabdeck near Annapolis as well and that totally smashed the soup at Ragin by comparison. Our server was good though and attentive. I just wished the food was a little better.

Did local boy Joey Madrones open his own joint? I know there is beer involved so I grab my co workers and we head on over to Madrones. We're here during the week and the place is jumpin'! I did not make a reservation and was able to snag a table with no wait. The beer selection is quite substantial with 24 beers on tap. I ordered a Hefeweizen to get the dinner party started. I started with the Fried Chesapeake Oysters. I mean, we're in Maryland so seafood is a must. The fried oysters were plump and quite tasty. Madrones is known for their Prime Rib so I ordered a small cut to start. The Au Jus along with the steak was a perfect cut for me. Served with the right cook on the steak, I recommend Madrones when you're in the mood for Prime Rib. I finished with Madrones Peanut Butter Pie, Mmm mm! Madrones, great meal! I will return the next time I'm in Frederick MD

I would like an original tartar sauce with the fish. I am not a fan of the packets (we did have it delivered they may have tartar sauce in the restaurant). Overall it is on our list of places to visit again!

Maryland crab cakes are my favorite meal. I never miss a chance to indulge when I travel through…read moreMaryland. I was excited to see great reviews for JB Seafood, located only a mile off US70. The shop is in a charming small historic building. We found parking behind the building. There was a steady stream of people going into the market. They sell fresh seafood to go and a selection of dine-in options. Many of the seafood prices are listed as Market Price. The crab sandwich was $23 with tax and there is an up-charge for use of credit card. The crabcake is thick with lump crabmeat. My sandwich was perfectly seasoned and prepared in authentic Maryland style. The bun with lettuce and tomato fresh were and tasty, too. The sandwich was perfection. The service was efficient. The clerk didn't waste time with pleasantries. The food takes awhile to prepare. I waited about 15 minutes after I ordered as they fresh bake the crab cakes. A tip jar sits by the cash register. The place is cute inside decorated in a harbor/seafood theme. There are 5 tables inside and 2 counters that seat 4 people each. It's the kind of place that you'd meet a friend for lunch and a beer and hang out. There are a couple of Adirondack chairs out front. A tv monitor was playing basketball reruns. The crab cakes can be purchased unbaked to go (along with a host of other seafood). There is a small full bar and coke products. They also serve ice cream, which is what many of the families were stopping for on this hot summer day. I will make JB's a regular stop on my way through Maryland. Well worth a visit.

Very old school dark banquet hall type. Not for me today. The hostess got me to my table, it wasn't cleaned so she cleaned it off and explained they could offer both lunch and some dinner options. The server came over immediately and stayed connected. Even when i didn't notice a gnat in my beer, he did and quickly got me another. The little muffins were delicious! I ate both immediately. Then came the fried oysters. They were OK. Better than most, however not the best. A little harder fry would be nice and better cleaning, a few bits of sand wasn't expected. Caesar salad good. I came for the crab cakes and they were delicious! Truly meaty like they said, very little filler. Twice baked potato met expectations. The bread pudding.... WOW!! They should tell people it will feed the table. The sauce is perfect, or just slice it and toast with bread. I was full from dinner so note my warm up recommendation. I'd come back for sure. Expensive for solid quality

The building is beautifully decorated and the atmosphere appealing. I ordered stuffed mushrooms and a cup of crab soup as an appetizer and they were both delicious. For the main course, I ordered Filet Oscar. Once again, the crab stuffing was excellent. However, the filet (9oz) was so salty, I couldn't finish it. That said, the food is so overpriced that I would not recommend it. I had heard such wonderful things about it, but "wonderful" was not my experience.

I'm sorry to say it was a tremendous disappointment and do not recommend it. We sent back two of three items ordered, and the one that we kept was not that good. The cream of crab soup was a cup of a thick mixture of flour and milk...it would have made good plaster of Paris. Out of curiosity, I did take a taste of the unpleasant looking cup of soup...it tasted as awful as it looked...flour and milk. I never saw a spoonful of soup sit so high on a spoon without spilling over. The crab topped pretzel was a fat pretzel with little crab dip on it...so dry. We ate a crab quesadilla, but it was lackluster. The paper plates, plastic forks and cups topped off our unpleasant experience. The server was lovely. The ambiance was so-so...the sticky floors should have been our first giveaway. Next try Liberty Road
