This is the spot. I'm always craving fried shrimp but always end up disappointed. This place has…read morethe biggest most delicious fried shrimp around, period. The seasoned wedge fries are perfection. The crab bomb is literally the . My only wish was there was an option to broil or fry the crab bomb. Calamari is also perfection! Best part, everything reheat perfectly in an air fryer for those delicious leftovers. 375 for 12 mins. Not a huge fan of the ketchup or marinara for the calamari as both have an overly sweet flavor, it's not bad. But not the typical flavor I would expect.

WOW! Do not walk...you need to run here!…read more This restaurant was right near our hotel. We wanted crab while in Maryland, so this was the place! My family and I shared the crab casino which had Swiss cheese, bacon and garlic. I hate Swiss..but all the other flavors negated the strong Swiss flavor. This appetizer was absolutely delish and set the tone for the rest of the meal. They are known for their crab bombs, and we can see why! Think crab cake but so much more! My fiancé and I share the larger crab bomb, firecracker style. It's definitely large enough to share with two people. You would think firecracker style would be spicy, but its not. It was more of a peppery taste, but not overwhelming! It's also ALL crab! No fillers! It came with two sides. We chose the veggie of the day which was string beans and fries. All delish!! The fresh rolls and butter were also yummy. My fiancé also enjoyed his soda! It described it as being very crisp. Our waitress was Mixi!! She was AMAZING!! Do NOT sleep on the crab bomb! Order it. Order it now!

Everything was fresh and delicious especially the sweet potato fries! Happy Yelping!!

Let me jump straight in... I was in the mood for crabs, but wanted to try out a different location…read moreoutside of my normal spots... That's when I ran across The Crab Galley. I was intrigued by the reviews on the Cave Monster crabs ( even though I wanted something a little less daunting to enjoy my Friday evening ) I settled on the Jumbo crabs, 30pc large shrimps, crab dip ( that I could warm up at home ) and this pineapple drink concoction that ended up changing my entire perspective on what a fruit drink should taste like. The jumbo crabs were meaty and had the right amount of juiciness to them ( A- for sure ) the shrimps had that firm texture, with a cool amount of seasoning ( B+ all day ) and the pineapple juice was everything and then more... oh my, I'll go back weekly just to taste this amazing creation ( and eating the actual fruit after I finished the drink was WOW !! ) If you haven't already you have to give this juice a try ( A+++ and more !!! ) The Crab Galley is definitely my go to for my crab cravings to close out the summer...and next weekend I'm going to give the Cave Monster a try !!!!

My order was ready when I arrived. What I found interesting was stopping at Safeway in route home, they had some king crabs on sale and so I also grabbed a few of those and shrimps as well just to compare...& it was half the price of what I spent. Anyhoo-the crabs and shrimps were pretty good! And the hush puppies I thought were a bit over cooked. My shrimp salad I ended up returning. When i opened it, the smell was terrible! Very fishy. I literally just called them back and appreciated them providing me a refund. Next time I'm in the mood for crab legs and shrimp, I think I'll just make my way to Safeway lol. Happy Yelping!

Our bartender/server, Aiesha, was fantastic! She knew the menu well and gave us great recommendations for both our meals and drinks. What I especially appreciated was how authentic and honest she was. She shared what she knew, and if she wasn't sure about something, she simply said so. That kind of genuine service goes a long way. And the drinks she made were excellent! The chef even stopped by our table to check on us, which was such a nice personal touch. From the atmosphere to the food, drinks, and especially the customer service, we really enjoyed our visit. Aiesha definitely helped make the experience memorable. We'll be back!

The turkey wings were SO good especially with the gravy. I really enjoyed it, it wasn't dry or too salty. I would definitely get them again. The sub was pretty good to, I just wish there was a little more salmon but it wasn't as full as I expected. We would get it again though. Half and half was amazing and wasn't too sweet, we finished it quickly lol. The cornbread was good but a little dry on the sides. Overall, everything was worth it! Our food was ready quickly, it was estimated to take 25-30 mins but was done in 15!! Pick up was smooth, the cashier was very welcoming, and restaurant was clean! We will be coming back soon!

Turkey wings had the perfect edible skin but that crisp sacrificed the tenderness of the meat. It ate like white meat. Cabbage was not what I expected after seeing reviews and IG videos. Everything else was not bad, not good but decent if you choose not to cook for a day. Service as described in previous is GREAT! And it is more of a to-go place but inviting. I've been wanting to try...we have! The catfish I would go back for. It was not overly breaded nor overly seasoned. And the grill still has a good crunch to it. Give them a try and let us know what you think!

Their crab seasoning dip is delicious...yes I tasted the dip to see if it resembles the sauce my daughter makes at home for her crabs...and it does. I got my granddaughter the crab legs and they also look really good. Interesting this location doesn't seem to over season the crabs; however they provide a small container of old bay on the side. Still, if you like a lot of seasoning be sure to ask for extra. The interior was clean and didn't have a fishy smell I often dread in many restaurants that sell fresh seafood.

Been to the old location…read more Been to the new location. I don't get the hype. The food is basic at best. The fish (catfish and croaker) always tastes like it's been fried in grease that needs changing. There's no flavor profile in the food which is weird for a soul-food restaurant. The mixed veggies were absolutely disgusting-- gave them back. I paid $65 for fried catfish with two sides, fried croaker with two sides, a cookie and two drinks---and sadly, the only thing that was sort of worth it was the cornbread, but it tastes like it has coconut in it. I hate coconut. The item that was the most flavorful for me was the black eyed peas/hoppin John (minus the big pieces of fatty meat in them).

For some odd reason, they put stale BBQ potato chips on the table (I'm assuming in lieu of a bread basket). Oddly enough our server went on break during the middle of our service so we had multiple servers throughout the meal. The service was actually strange - they cleared items one at a time, starting with food that we were nibbling on while leaving items that had clearly been discarded. My colleagues ordered wings and short ribs and were disappointed. We wanted mashed potatoes but when I asked about them, we learned that they were from a box. I went with the New Zealand lamb chops and asked for the sauce on the side...you can't really go wrong with lamb but we did go wrong with the broccoli. This place is clearly a hot spot but I don't think I'm the target audience.
