We stopped at Costas Inn tonight on our way north, hoping to find some great Maryland crab dishes,…read moreand we were not disappointed! Right from the start, our server, Chuck, made us feel welcome. We mentioned a food allergy, and while he wanted to make sure he understood everything correctly, he quickly brought over his manager, Maria, to assist. Maria was incredibly thorough and went above and beyond, even showing me ingredient information to ensure everything was safe. That level of care and attention was greatly appreciated. For dinner, we ordered the Maryland crab soup, which was hearty, thick, and packed with flavor--not watered down at all. We also shared a side salad that was surprisingly huge and fresh. The crab cakes were outstanding, loaded with lump crab meat and served with delicious sides. We also tried the rockfish special, which was almost like a crab cake made with fish--unique, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, we were too full for dessert, but the desserts we saw being served to other tables looked amazing and definitely worth trying on a future visit. Both Chuck and Maria were attentive throughout our meal, and Chuck's friendly, kind personality made the experience even better. Excellent food, outstanding service, and great attention to customer needs. We will absolutely be back the next time we're in Baltimore!

We didn't have time for dessert. An assortment of beers on tap and by the bottle. Friendly and attentive service from Stephanie. Nice atmosphere. Traditional wood paneling. Ample street parking

From the interior vibe and the quick and fast service we received everything is great . No complaints. However mixed emotions about the food .

I will say the shade wasn't the best in the section that we were seated in and it was very HOT! The service was absolutely terrible! We had to ask for everything at least 3 times. We never received water refills and a lady from another table brought us her napkins. It was BAD! The food was also terrible!!! I will say the crabs were heavy and they used a lot of seasoning. Other items that we received but weren't liked by the table were the fries, onion rings, Cesar salad, wings and rockfish bites. We originally said we would never order food again and just come for the drinks and ambiance BUT the drinks were horrible as well! I wouldn't recommend the Paloma or Margarita. I didn't finish either :(

So we looked it up, and GPS'd it. It is not far from where we live, a few miles. I called in an order for 1/2 doz, xl's. They were ready in 20 min. My husband picked up the bag, and it was heavy for that amount. When we got home, I was very anxious to enjoy these crabs. The table was ready for them, all set up. They were seasoned just right and WOW, really meaty, consistently in each and every one. The cashier was so sweet and friendly. Looking around, it is not too heavy on the decor side of things, very plain and simple. Actually, the front room is very small, with a cold seafood stocked deli and a refrigerator for drinks and salads. Certainly no room for seating and eating. Can't wait to return! They really have it going on there. Closed Mondays.

Waited over 20 mins for after we sat for someone to acknowledge us. We ordered cocktails and water, took a while for the cocktails, no water came. Then we put in apps and our entrees.

Overall, the vibe is fun as it's all outdoors but hopefully these were just growing pains early in the season. I'd still consider returning but not if I was in a rush!

They have a phone option if you want to call in your order. Or you can walk in to pick up your order . If you use credit they charge 3% extra (so bring cash to save money). To me there were a little prouder than other locations I went to but the food is good so I guess that makes up for the extra couple of bucks spent. Can't wait to come back and try there crabs.

We waited over half an hour even though all we ordered were sandwiches. My sandwich, a grilled cheese with crab dip was actually not heated at all, not the bread or even the crab dip, so it wasn't very tasty and being cold on top of that kind of sunk it. I didn't get a chance to even ask if they could heat it because our server never came back to check on us after that, unfortunately. Several other items we ordered were missing ingredients, like the cucumber in a mixed drink and the salsa on a veggie burger, so that was disappointing. Overall, a pretty view and I might come back just based on that but not because I was impressed at all with the food or service. Oh and ps-that yelp check-in special is not a free dessert as stated, but a free dish of ice cream, not of your choosing. Lame
