We did lunch. The crab soups- both varieties were great. The salad with crab cake was excellent. The pulled pork bbq was passable but the fries were cold and without flavor. The server acted like she wanted to be anywhere else but where she was. read more

Nice casual restaurant that has really good barbecue pork and lots of different crab items, including fresh crab that they'll throw on your table. We did a variety of things and we're pretty impressed overall, the cornbread is like cake really good and I don't even like cornbread. We thought the crabcake had a lot of good crab in it and the pork we had was very tasty. They had two kinds of crab soup so we did both. read more

From the outside the place looks like it's gonna be awesome. And it must be if you order the right thing and have the right server. We got there before the lunch rush and yet our server Kameron H. only came by our table to 1-order food, 2-bring the food(minus one dish bc she never put the order in), and 3-bring the (wrong) bill. The food was a decent 3/5- nothing special at all. The best part of the whole experience was the outdoor seating and the tartar sauce. Definitely recommend picking a different spot if you're in town or maybe just stick with the crab. 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

Our server was friendly and attentive. Our food was good. We enjoyed chicken with crab dip and the shrimp with crabcakes and scallops meals. Drinks were refreshing. We would stop back 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

1 star is missing simple because I would love a tastier mac & cheese as well as bbq sauce. Now for the yummy stuff: excellent hush puppies dipped in a great tartar sauce to start. My husband enjoyed the soup with loads of clams. Fried shrimp was enjoyed by my son, but the fish was not as good as my ribs! The ribs were perfectly cooked, crisp outside, super tender inside with a flavorful smoke ring. I tried to improve the bbq sauce with hot sauce, but it was Frank's Red Hot which has too much vinegar for my taste. The onion rings had a great coating on a thick tasty onion I dipped in a tasty ranch dressing. They just needed a bit longer in the fryer. The corn bread was sweet & moist. I left over-stuffed! read more

Always great food and service. Nice selection of both BBQ and seafood. Great view of the C&O Canal from the patio. read more

This place was great with outside dining area. We had a soft carb sandwich which was super good!!! The mozzarella sticks were just ok. They don't have crabs oysters during lunch time tho. read more

Cute little spot and good service. And I ordered the Shrimp Platter, described as 12 jumbo shrimp, I requested broiled. Very disappointed, they were not jumbo, not broiled and totally bland. They had no chicken wings on the menu as depicted in what are obviously old photos. Had good beer selection. It was just okay. read more

If you are going there for the crabs, read this review. From what the person who answers the phone, all crabs come on Fridays. And even if they are kept correctly, they should be cooked and eaten before Sunday to make sure the crab is fresh and tasty. So, I would suggest the latest to go there would be Saturday for the crab. Now here is the main reason for the 2 stars. I have been here twice in the last 3 weeks to make sure the first time was not a "bad day" at the Crabby Pig. They misrepresent the sizing of their crabs. If you are ordering XL's they are large at best. Some I wouldn't even consider them large, more of a medium. And when you bring this to their attention, they admit their sizing is different and they get real defensive. The manager even came to the table, took the largest shell to go measure it. I found this extremely insulting but whatever. And when she returned, she agreed with my assessment. Also, because you are paying a premium for the crabs, I expected for them to be nice fresh meat, I would estimate that for every dozen we ordered, at least 3 were mealy and smelled like ammonia. They did replace them but seemed a little put off to do so. So, to sum it up, if this is your only choice, don't go later than Saturday and be prepared for unsized crabs and to have some exchanged. 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

Great food. Wonderful staff eat in or out. My choice is eating out in the warm weather. It is so nice eating outside.

Best crab! It was soooooo good. Highly recommend this place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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

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

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! My tummy just wasn't big enough to enjoy it all!! read more

My first time. First I could not find the correct number. I wanted take out so I drove there to place the order. First I must say I interacted with different staff members and they were all pleasant and nice. Placed my order and watched. After 20 min. I watched something that totally turned me off from eating there again. Silver ware was not wrapped so servers were grabbing all utensils including fork end you use with bare hands. After having Covid once I certainly don't want to increase my chances again by improper handling of utensils. Foox was just okay. Chef is using way too much pepper in seasoning. Cream of Crab was awful. Had a fishy smell, heavily seasoned and too much pepper. Crab Cakes okay but again too much heat. I had a crab cake at Kocos Pub that made this look like a golf ball. I realize not all seafood restaurants are equal. Raised on the eastern shore I know my seafood. I will say the Fried fish dinner was very good. I think I would try some other seafood places before I go back. I can not comment on hard crabs but thought the prices were on point. It was a cute restaurant that you could eat in or out on a patio with covering. read more

I stopped here while traveling. This was my first experience at the Crabby Pig. Overall, very good establishment with super friendly staff, and we met the owner who came out and talked to us. The food was good and service was quick. When in doubt check it out! read more

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

Yes, Crabby Pig, I moved to WV about two years ago from SF. and have eaten their Twice. Once inside and once outside. Good food and had a nice experience both times. 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

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

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

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

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
