I really liked the food here. The atmosphere is nice. The service is wonderful. It is located at a great spot in historic downtown. It's worth stopping into this place at least once. read more

After checking into the worst AirBnB I've ever experienced care of "Maybel" I came over here looking for a good meal and alas failed at that endeavor as well. I'm not big on fried foods that often so I ordered the Captains Platter broiled. It was $41.49 and came with a crab cake, three shrimp, three scallops, a piece of unidentifiable fish and some steamed broccoli. It was absolutely not worth the price paid. The fish was practically inedible, awful flavor and texture. The shrimp were standard and the scallops were small. The crab cake really didn't have much crab in it. I wouldn't get it again. My second mistake was ordering steamed clams for $14.99...I doubt it was even half a pound. They tasted boiled. The bread that came with it was the best part of the meal and sopped up the juices pretty well. You get better clams from a Chinese buffet on a weekend where you get a meal for the same price as the clams. The salad I got with the platter was also pretty good, very standard. Hard to mess up a salad. The place is very tiny inside and not great for groups. We waited a couple hours to seat six people. It's decorated like an old Hooters and has that kind of feel. Service was 3 stars. It's super loud and noisy inside and she was trying to take our orders from across the table at the other end and I couldn't hear a word she said and she seemed offended when I asked her to come closer. Either talk louder or move closer, not sure what the problem is with that. Would not return again. read more

I come here about once a year and I always get the soft shell crab sandwich. The fried one is the best. It is so hard to find soft shell crabs where I live so this is always a treat for me. They make it nice and crispy on the outside and juicy inside. read more

We stopped here before making it to our hotel this past weekend. We arrived ~7:15 pm, and it took some time but eventually drink orders were taken. And shortly after the drinks arrived we ordered appetizers and dinner. Overall the restaurant was not very crowded 2-3 tables were seated before us and got their food in the time we waited for ours. Two additional tables came in subsequent to us and were both served dinner prior to us, one even finishing and leaving before we were served dinner. Staff even began cleaning for the night around 8:15 as they close at 9:00. While we had been served our appetizers, there was a significant wait between this and receiving dinner. We clearly were looking around, stunned, and I wondered if we would end up being rushed out. Luckily, food came out around 8:35. Even more lucky, we were starving and managed to finish our meals and pay in time for the staff to leave on time which was abundantly clear that they were eager to do. I only am critical of this as it was very clear that service and hospitality were low on the priority list. I get it, we may have arrived after the dinner rush, but nonetheless it was strange to wait so long and receive our food after tables who arrived after us did. The food was nothing special. We ordered crab dip and calamari. I wasn't impressed by the microwaved/clearly frozen taste of both items. The marinara for the calamari even was served in the plastic container it was clearly packaged and microwaved in. Seems odd to flaunt being a seafood restaurant (regardless of being a decent bit from the ocean) and not serve food free from freezer taste. Given the reviews I had higher expectations, and apparently that's on me. I had the grilled chicken sandwich, which is a pick your own toppings. The waitress seemed shocked when I inquired which toppings I had to choose from when none were listed on the menu. But I asked for lettuce, tomato, onion, and bacon. Overall it seemed fresh and flavorful. For the price, I did find it silly that fries would have come at an up charge. My boyfriend ordered the cheese steak which ended up being ground beef and more lettuce than meat. Luckily I don't have much business in Cumberland, and I don't foresee any special visits for the Crabby Pig after it left me feeling pretty crabby... read more

The Crabby Pig - Soft shell crab sandwich was yummy! - Seafood Near Me - Cumberland, Maryland

The Crabby Pig serves classic American BBQ and seafood. I had their ribs with corn bread and broccoli. My friend ordered their piggyback burger which consisted of a cheeseburger with pulled pork on top! The quality of the food isn't anything special, but that doesn't mean it's bad. I enjoyed my meal and experienced quality service here. This was also one of the only food locations open on a Sunday. read more

great food , great waitress cozy place and reasonable priced. We were waited on right away. Served fairly quickly.

We visited this restaurant after our train ride. The ambiance was okay but the outside seating area needs better conditions to keep the area cooler and to keep the flies away from the food. The customer service was terrible and I believe in my heart that waiter we had was racist towards us. We noticed how half of the people that were there was served before us and if we did not ask for our food it would have never been served and to my surprise the server was eating out fries out our tray but she did not notice we saw her. When we got the food the soup was cold and the rest of the food was warm. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

I thought this place was decent! We wanted some lunch on our road trip back home. The inside was kind of dark so opted to sit outside. Was a bit busy but found a shade table when some people were leaving. The food took a bit but I enjoyed my soft shell crab sandwich. It's usually super pricey in other restaurants so I think the price was good for what I got! It's in a cute tourist area for Cumberland which I didn't even know existed. Definitely a cool place to check out. read more

Very busy spot. So thats a good sign that it's delicious! We waited (back at the hotel) for just half an hour, since we didn't have reservations. Nice large booth. Waitress was ON IT! Very attentive despite being very busy! Good wine for me, Kendall Jackson Chardonnay. A definite would love to visit again. Some items not photographed coconut shrimp and ribs!

Beer, food and service were all very good. We regret not ordering a tray of crabs as they looked great.

Great atmosphere and staff. Food was very good and the menu was not excessive. Parking was hard until you asked the staff how and where to park then simple. Will be going back everytime we hit the area. Cole slaw was excellent and so was the crab soup. Cannot get any better fish than haddock for sandwiches but I think the broiled was better than the fried. read more

The bbq sandwich comes with a creamy cold slaw and fries. But for an up charge of $2.50, you can also get a salad with their homemade dressing (which as it turned out was pretty good). They have a good variety of beers on tap. read more

This place is very kitschy. The staff was friendly and the food was decent. I tried one cup of the Chesapeake Bay Crab Soup and one cup of the cream of crab soup. Both were delicious. The Bay soup had a nice tomatoey broth. It'd be perfect when you're not feeling well or on a cold day. The cream soup was my favorite. Super comforting. read more

Food, service and atmosphere were great. We got crab dip and the BBQ chicken dinner. Both were on point. My only complaint was that they could use a couple of additional televisions so we could watch the WVU basketball game. Can't wait to return when I'm back in town! read more

Ordered online from Caviar link on website. Got email confirming order. My credit card was charged for $53. When I went to restaurant to pick up they said we don't use that carrier. When I showed the manager the confirmation email and pointed out I used link from their website she became rude and combative and said it was my problem and refused to help!!! . read more

Always our "go to" when we have a hankering for crabs. It's a bit of a distance and out of the way, but it is always good. I'm not a huge fan of the cream of crab soup because it's to rich for me. But the last time I was there I tried their "mixture" of both soups. Cream of crab and Maryland crab. It was great! We also usually get the steamed shrimp and it is always good. Not a very big place, but they have plenty of seating inside and also some on the patio. Lovely area/location. The service is ok, it has been a bit slow on a few occasions. The only complaint I have is their phone system. We have always had a terrible time getting through to talk to someone. We travel a couple hours to get there and call ahead to make sure they have crabs and if so, what sizes and prices they are beforehand. Long way to travel if they don't have what you want. read more

Cute little spot in Canal Place. We tried the crab dip and it did not disappoint. Creamy and hot with a great flavor. Came with toasted parmasean bread.

Superb crab cake sandwich but a well rounded food snd beer menu plus its proximity to the canal snd gap trail mike it a must stop for cyclists riding through Cumberland. Try worstesehire sauce on the crab cakes. Kinda weird but works really great either way dill pickles. A dive bar serving serving style back in the day I'm told read more

Great service Great food the broiled seafood captain platter was my favorite .I definitely will be back

Interesting local spot. Passed through and gave it a go. The prices are fair and the food is decently fresh. Tried raw oysters for the first time and while they weren't my cup of tea, the waitress was very kind about showing me the best ways to eat them. We also got calamari (it was okay/breaded like chicken tenders) and the Captains Platter. Great atmosphere and the service was awesome even though the place was packed. read more

The Crabby Pig - Raw Oysters on the half shell - Seafood Near Me - Cumberland, Maryland

Pleasantly surprised. Looked at the other reviews and second guessed going here. BUT IT WAS AWESOME! We are uber hungry cyclists. We seen the captain's platter but alas it was only lunch. The waitress made the extra effort to ask the chef if we could order off the dinner menu. Since they were not busy, it was oked. We ordered the broiled captain's platter with cottage cheese and sweet slaw. While waiting to sipped on our unsweetened iced tea. The unsweetened iced tea was fresh and non bitter. The platter came out in average time. Hey it's fresh food and boy did it taste like it. The scallops melted in my mouth with just enough seasoning. The shrimp were excellent. The haddock was a nice meaty filet. The crab cake had minimal filler and was a good size. The sweet slaw was homemade, fresh, and crispy. The cottage cheese was great too. Definitely would get again and return to this establishment. read more

My family stopped in two weeks ago on a saturday. Atmosphere was nice, place was very clean. The hostess that sat us was very friendly. Our server wasnt very attentive. We ordered the calamari appetizer and it was a very small portion for the price and heavily breaded, kids ordered burgers and fries. One pork sandwich which looked old and reheated. Food was not what we expected for $100 for 4 people to eat lunch. read more

Read some mixed reviews but after riding the C&O from Hancock we were starving and location is very convenient. Split steamed clam appetizer and it was great. Small clams but tasty. I had crab soup and the crab cake platter and it was very good. Friends had jambalaya and captains platter and chicken/rib combo. Everything was great including our server. Even left with a t shirt read more

Really good food, great outdoor seating, a little loud right below the highway, but I can live with that. It was a gorgeous evening outside and I was ready to enjoy some seafood. I ordered an 8 oz cup of the Chesapeake Bay crab soup and it was good and larger than expected and very filling. I also ordered the soft shell crabs sauteed with garlic and onions. I got broccoli and french fries for my sides. The description said jumbo soft shell crabs and I inquired if they even had them this time of year. The waitress indicated they did and I figured, great. I usually prefer them deep-fried, but have been on a diet and staying away from fried food. Sauteed was okay, but not the same as a deep-fried delicious soft shell crab!! However, my gripe with the crabs was that they were super small, the two together may be made up a large. Very disappointing in the size for the price. If I had known they weren't going to be jumbo I probably would have gotten something else for my entree. I considered ordering dessert, but there wasn't anything I really wanted, so opted to pay my bill and walk off dinner. A good meal will be back when in the area, but will likely have MD steamed blue crabs if they are available at the right time of the year. Highly recommend! Good food, great service, nice outdoor patio!!! Give this great restaurant a try!! read more

Came here for my birthday yesterday and left terribly disappointed. My mother and grandmother ordered fried shrimp and they brought out terribly over cooked broiled shrimp. We asked for them to be replaced only to be told that because of food waste the only option for remedy would be to put the already overcooked broiled shrimp into the frier, no breading. It was honestly insulting that that would even be offered as an option. I am never one to leave a business a negative review however this experience has definitely been an outlier for me. Very disappointed. read more

I had the bay crab soup and cream of crab soup mixed together ( offered as individual or mixed together)! It was the best soup I've ever had!! Each spoonful had a heaping amount of crab on it!! I've never had so much crab in a soup, usually you are looking for some in the bowl. Highly recommended restaurant! read more

Horrible service waited 30 minutes for the food and when it arrived crab cakes and corn bread were cold.. NEVER AGAIN! Flies in the area and the fish at McDonald's tastes better! Overpriced garbage! Do not waste your money on this place! A crab dip with day old bread to dip was so bad. read more
