Smoked Wings
Larry M.

So this spot has been showing up on my timeline ALL WEEK!! I HAD to go (pressed)!! But let me tell you...I'm glad I went. Smoked bbq, smoked, & fried seafood is what's on their menu. They sell out quickly, so GET THERE!! . Where I am: @thesmokingcrabdmv . Location Reviewed: 11064 Cornett St., Ft. Washington M.D. . Menu Includes: Brisket, Smoked Beef or Pork Ribs, Jumbo Crab Clusters, Smoked Wings, Fries Shrimp, Salmon Nuggets, Whiting, Smoked Turkey Wings, Stuffed Crab Cakes, Smoked Mac n Cheese, Potato Salad, Vegetable Medley, Fries, & More! . Items Reviewed: Their 1/2 pound Brisket ($14). STAMP!! Plentiful, tender, & super juicy!! Their Smoked Wings (6 for $12). STAMP!! Meaty, well done, & you tasted the smokiness!! Their Bay Bomb (a 10 Oz. jumbo lump crab cake, with shrimp & salmon inside & a side of 7 jumbo fried shrimp $40). STAMP!! Sooo good, smoky, no filler, with Old Bay goodness!! Their fried shrimp...LIKE THAT!! A well seasoned cornmeal batter, & fried to perfection!! Their Vegetable Medley ($5). DELICIOUS. Savory, & garlicky. Their Potato Salad (with red skinned potatoes $5). LIKE THAT!! This caught me off guard...hearty, creamy, with sweet relish!! Their Fried Whiting (2 large pieces $15). STAMP!! Huge, seasoned cornmeal coated goodness!! Their Pork Ribs ($15). STAMP!! Tender, aromatic, & simply tasty!! Their G.A.S. "Good Ass Sauce"...STAMP!! It was a sweet n spicy BBQ/Mumbo sauce. Their "Thank Me later" sauce...STAMP!! This was a Old Bay'ish aioli!! . Customer Service: On Point, & Welcoming!! It's Like you're at your family cookout!! . Online Navigation: N/A, however they have a Social media presence. . Parking: Plentiful. . Recommendations: That Bay Bomb...Get EVERYTHING!! =STAMP =LIKE THAT =DELICIOUS =DECENT =PASS =NAH #Bigschlimsreviews

Shrimp Po Boy and Pulled Lamb Sandwich
Paige J.

If you're looking for something different with a GREAT taste... go online and order your dinner from the Smoking Crab DMV. This was our first visit and we're sold. Pulled Lamb sandwich, Shrimp Poboy, and a Brisket meal with garlic mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. Outstanding! #HappyEating

Found this place on Yelp and was looking for a good fish sandwhich (whiting) and based on the…read morereviews left here... decided to try them out. Glad I did. My husband and I both ordered a whiting po' boy sandwich and it was perfect. Great price for the size sandwhich it is! I have no complaints with the amount of fish on that sandwhich Fresh lettuce, tomatoes... fish was perfectly fried hard as requested. Good batter! Flour based. Because that matters. The bread was the perfect compliment as it was soft and the perfect size for this sandwhich! The customer service was good and a pleasant change. The young ladies were welcoming, helpful, and professional! It's a very welcoming environment. I will definetly go back and try some more whiting.

Yo girl been trying to eat a little healthier and was looking for some baked or grill fish. This restaurant did deliver. The grill tilapia and broccoli was pretty good. The portion size was on point. My son wanted their crab cake burger which I had to taste and it was delicious. They offer mumbo sauce with their fries and it is banging. Got a nice little kick to it. The corn on the cob is so so. Its not bad but I just had better. Its too greasy for corn on the cob too. So confused about that. Any who, I spent $40 for everything which was reasonable for 2 meals. I will definitely be back to try other menu items. The cashiers here are super friendly which is always appreciated because its seems like people are losing basic manners. So thanks ladies for your kindness it didnt go unnoticed. Would I recommend this restaurant, yeah I would. Its not spectacular but its pretty good and you get enough food for the price. That itself is worth it. So go and visit so we can keep restaurants like this open in our community.

We went here bright and early Monday morning. But the thing is you cannot park in their parking lot…read moretoo early. There is security that will come after you if you parked way too early, so just be aware to wait a little bit before parking in the spot. Like probably 10 minutes before they open. I had a lot of fun looking at all the seafoods that they have there. For a Monday morning it was semi busy. My husband and i got a bushel of the female crabs. Remember prices may very so make sure to check their instagram or facebook for updates. We lovedddddd the crabs, we also got shrimp and some fillets of fishes. It was all great. But the crabs were phenomenal. I would come back again because it was great experience. And if you want them to steam your crabs it will only be $5.00

I was NOT ready for the full seafood operation happening at Captain White's Seafood City. This…read moreplace was PACKED, but they had it moving and were surprisingly efficient. And the seafood is FRESH fresh. I even got a live performance from one of the crabs trying to make an escape. I vaguely remember Captain White's from the old Wharf days, so it was nice finally checking out the newer setup. If I were big on cooking seafood at home, I could definitely see myself stopping here whenever I'm in the area. I picked up shrimp and a whole Dungeness crab. Very expensive, in my opinion, but I wanted to try it. This was actually my first time eating Dungeness crab. It had a LOT of meat, which I appreciated. The flavor was a little different for me--definitely an acquired taste--but it was good. The shrimp was tasty too. I cooked it at home in a light Old Bay butter and THAT was the move. Overall, quite the seafood experience. Come prepared for crowds, plenty of choices...and apparently live entertainment from the crabs.

There are many options to choose from and all of your dishes come with rice. The restaurant has a very laid-back vibe and homey feel. There is indoor seating available for dining Inn as well as outdoor seating and what looks like a former home off of Livingston Road The food is very flavorful and most importantly, seasoned The pancit canton (filipino stir-fry noodles), barbecue on a stick, fried fish, dinuguan, menudo, and my favorite.....fresh lumpia transports me back to a trip I was able to experience in Manila years ago. They also have a market with packaged foods, refrigerated meals and grocery goods like chips, Asian/Filipino snacks, candy and baked goods like....steamed buns and ube cake to go. I grabbed an order of the frozen 7 Lumpia rolls to go to cook at home later this week during one of pretend to be Food Network "Next Top Chef" nights after work...lol. They offered them in a set of 7, 18 , and even larger. Both the chicken and pork lumpia options, are delicious! In all, this place is an outstanding family owned small business with a great selection of both prepared and grocery type . The dishes are authentic and very well prepared. The price point is great too and the servings are generous. I highly recommend you give this place a try when in the area.
