I bought a dozen get a dozen "cold crabs" for $1.50 and they were delicious. If you warm them up they taste like they were right out of the steamer!! There was the right amount of seasoning and the meat was not mushy. read more

I ordered a crab pretzel. Size was worth the price. It was pretty good (a few shells). It is very good pricing on Thursdays because they run a special. Inside is a small carryout fisherman type of look read more

i thought they lost their touch but i was sadly mistaken. great service crabs and shrimp forever a customer read more

They had a special, buy a dozen crabs and get half a dozen free. We ordered 2 dozen large males so we ended up getting 3 dozen with the special. They were very well seasoned and they were true to size. I was able to call my order in ahead and they didn't require a deposit, but they did verify the information on your ID at pickup / when you paid. Which is a good thing in my opinion. $186 for 3 dozen actually large males isn't bad in my book! read more

This place has a problem with including condiments in the bag. I didn't miss the chili sauce that comes with the seafood egg rolls because it really doesn't belong on the side of seafood egg rolls but COME ON!!! Every body knows that cocktail sauce goes with shrimp!! I even specifically asked for cocktail sauce in the comments. This was y'all 2nd chance to get it right and you blew it. P.S thanks for the butt load of mustard packs that does not go on anything that I ordered read more

I was online looking for a place to pick up some shrimp salad for my wife, and this was the first place to pop up. I used the company's website to place an order online. I also decided to get myself a soft crab sandwich. The only option on the website was a "Soft Crab Sub" and that's what I selected. There were several options for bread, such as sub roll, wheat, white, rye, and I assumed that selecting "rye" would mean I was ordering a sandwich and not a sub. I received a phone call from the restaurant. Here is roughly how the conversation went: Restaurant: we do not have rye sub rolls Me: that's fine. I actually want a sandwich. Restaurant: but you ordered a sub Me: that's because it was the only option on the website Restaurant: we have been having issues with the website Me: yeah, I could only select sub, but then it gave me the option to have rye bread Restaurant: we do not have rye sub rolls. The online menu is incorrect Me: it's ok, because I actually do not want a sub, I want a sandwich Restaurant: but you ordered a sub Me: it was the only way to get a sandwich Restaurant: Hold on please Then a second staff member gets on the phone Restaurant: sir, we do not have rye sub rolls Me: that's fine, cancel the order Restaurant: you want to cancel the entire order? *Click read more

Waterman's Pride Seafood - Seems pretty self-explanatory. - Seafood Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Just so so. My crab cake sandwich was dry and the crab cake platter was average, fries were good. I would have given it 3 stars but took 1 off because it's too expensive for the quality of food you get given it's so easy to find good crab dishes in Maryland. This is a takeout place only, no tables. I probably will not order again. Important** don't forget your ID because if you're paying with a credit card they will not sell unless you show your ID and it has to match the credit card being used. read more

The crabs are always heavy and delicious! They have the best crab feast ever!! Waterman's Pride is the best!

This review is based on carryout dinner only, not the crabs. This little spot is in a shopping center on my way home from work, right by our go-to Chinese carryout and the DBF's fave chain Carrabba's. It is carryout only. I bought a Groupon for Waterman's Pride the other day and decided to check out their seafood combo appetizer platter when I had a jones for some fried goodness. For $14 you get four fried shrimp, four crab balls and some fried clams. I also got an order of onion rings ($2.50). I enjoyed everything I ordered and it totally satisfied my craving, especially the shrimp and onion rings. I was surprised by the shrimp, nice large butterflied shrimp. Tasty. The crab balls were decently sized, smaller than a ping pong ball but they did contain some lump meat in each. The clams were good, not as crispy as I would have liked but I blame that on the nice steam they received in the box on the drive home in rush hour traffic. The onion rings were just right, crispy and yummy. Service was great too; while my order was being assembled, the super nice girl behind the counter offered me some coleslaw, pasta or macaroni salad on the house. She said that they had had an event and it was leftover and they were trying to get rid of it. So I got to try their coleslaw for free, and as a bonus it was really good! Note to Yelpers looking for crabs, when you check in here you can get a free roll of paper. This place has good food and a convenient location for me. I plan to come back to try other items on their menu in the near future. read more

Very poor customer service. Young lady had a very nasty attitude. crabs was ok corn was bad and smushy shrimp and potatoes was ver bland

This used to be one of our go to crab spots. However, the last two times we visited we were disappointed. Both times we got Large Crabs and I've had more meat in smaller crabs from other places. More than half of the crabs were very light. I don't know what's been going on but I'm gonna lay off of them for awhile. read more

Crabs were really good and the service was wonderful! This is now my go to place for crabs. read more

Waterman's Pride Seafood - a view of the counter area - Seafood Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Good country seafood sold in a city setting. The portions are good. And the food is good. I ordered steamed muscles and it was enough for two people. I highly recommend for fresh food read more

Called and was told crabs were heavy spent 300 dollars on them brought them home to Anne arundel county and come to find out they were paper shells and extremely light very disappointed then called and they want me to bring them back and hold them in my fridge till I can get back up there which is 45 mins from my house. Completely unacceptable I will never eat there again and will be sure to tell my family and friends that live in the area to not eat there as well and when I lived in the area I used to go there all the time not anymore read more

Gave 2 star because I've had them before so I know they're sometimes good But man these crabs were BAD, smelled & tasted weird. And overcharged for my taco read more

Waterman's Pride Seafood - I got six crabs. Picked thru two and rest was horrible. - Seafood Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

We called in for carry out this past Sunday. We saw they were about to close, so I asked if they could still take the order. They accepted. My daughter has an onion/garlic allergy and they were very accommodating. When I arrived, they confirmed with me about not using onion or garlic. They kept me informed on the status of my order. Everything turned out great and everyone was happy with their food. I appreciate them fitting our order in despite it being large and close to closing time. We will definitely order from here in the future! read more

Seasoning on steamed crabs is excellent! However I have not always been pleased with size and price.

I'm not sure why this shop isn't rated. And although I'm giving it a 2 stars, it's definitely worth a trip. So, this is why it's getting 2 stars....the $1 crabs. Having just moved to the Balt area, we are becoming crab addicts. Not just the meat, but the whole shebang of deconstructing the crab and beating the hell out of it with the crab hammer. But here's the thing...we can't afford $75 every few days for a dozen crabs. So after my sashimi lunch, I ventured over to this shop to see what the deal was. The deal was $1 crabs. They're small crabs. And I couldn't figure out the size difference between them and the 12/$18 crabs. But I decided I'd blow $10 on 10 of these chumpies and if I didn't get a lot of crab meat I'd at least get the pleasure/pain of hot moist crab spice getting into unknown cuts on my hands. So I order them and wait....and wait....and wait. Seriously, I wait about 30 mins for these crabs. At about minute 20 I happen to ask if they're cooked with spice or if I had to ask for it (because I note the 12/$18 crabs are cooked with no spice). Oh, yeah, she tells me. They're cooked with spice. Sweet. I'm doing 70mph on Rt43 to get home and tear into these crabs. I. Am. Jonesin. What an effin disappointment!! I could have gotten a ticket for this BS. They're small, sure. I don't care about that. But I wait 30 mins for luke warm pre-cooked crabs that they threw dry spice onto. They were so bad, I wasn't sure if they threw the crabs into a steamer or into the microwave. The meat was mushy and the crab spice didn't stick to the crab. I NO UNDERSTAND! So, that made me think...is this what their other crabs taste like? read more

I ordered 2 fried fish platers and 1 cod platter. It was bland and had no flavor. Never again. The texture of cod tasted like I was chewing on wool. The trout was over fried and the steam veggies were cold. I do not recommend, unless you're into bland food. read more

My friend always gets crabs from this place. I thought Id give them a try. I must say Im very picky about where I get my crabs from. The crabs here were good! Very flavorful! Just the right amount of seasoning. I couldn't stop eating them. Definitely adding this place to my list of getting crabs. read more

This place has improved drastically since the last time we were there. We had crabs, steamed shrimp, and corn. The crabs were steamed nicely and seasoned well. The steamed shrimp were also steamed nicely and seasoned well. The corn on the cob was perfect! The service was also much better than my first experience. I would recommend that you give them a try! read more

Walked in walked out I saw the crab cakes I mean 2 for $24 isn't bad I guess but when they look like little fried burnt pieces of crap you really don't want to buy nothing I mean you call yourself a seafood place but can't do a single piece of seafood right read more

The steamed crabs were very good! We bought a bunch! They were very fresh and not overly seasoned#

Saved all my crab cravings for my recent DMV trip and the fresh crabs from Waterman's definitely hit the mark. My family didn't want to limit ourselves to 2 hrs max of all you can eat crab deals at local restaurants and opted to have our own crab fest at home. Ordered half a bushel of medium male crabs and the box was an endless joy of yummy quality crabs! Looking forward to my next DMV visit simply to feast on more Maryland blue crabs!!! read more

So I got the $1 crabs and they were very tasty small but delicious. I will make sure to call my order in next week for the specials. read more

I've been to Waterman's before and if not for my experience yesterday they would get a good 3.5 stars. They have pretty good crabs so I can't give 1 star! I've been here many times for crabs and will probably be here again. They aren't too far from where I live and have crabs year round. The food is normally ok. Yesterday I had the fish tacos...NEVER AGAIN!! It's been over 24 hours and I can't keep anything down! The tacos didn't taste good and had a pungent fish order as if it wasn't cleaned well. We ordered fish tacos(2), fried clam strips, backfin crab platter with macaroni salad and onions rings as the sides. This is not the 1st we've eaten from waterman's but the tacos ruined me eating food here for a LONG time! The crab cakes smelled fishy too! So much so I couldn't finish it! Like I said I'm not giving 1 star because this is my 1st bad experience. Normally the food is ok and will give a decent seafood fix. read more

I never get anything smaller than large males. They truly be the size that are advertised. With some XL males being others jumbos. Great tasting seasoning as well read more

After my previous experience, the owner sent me a message personally apologizing for our experience and offering to give us another try. It seems as if she made some changes with her staff. We gave them a shot and were much more pleased with the results this time. Just the way Baltimore crabs should be. :-) read more

Went to their crab feast. Had to wait for crabs and they didn't taste like the stores. Long lines for food and drinks. The food lacked flavor. One side of the room was like we were the step children, could barely here the music and didn't here the raffle drawing at all. read more

Waterman's Pride catered a crab feast on 8/21/15 at the Seven Oaks Senior Center. While the crabs were on the small side, they were full and heavy. The staff was attentive and kept the crabs coming. They did a great job clearing the shells and worked in a very professional manner. The additional food provided was rated delicious by everyone at our table. read more

I usually I'm pretty happy with Watermans however today there was a fill in from the Towson office named Emma H and she was disgusting. The worst attitude ever. Not only is her customer service awful and she was extremely rude, I witnessed her dropping someone's order on the ground and put the crabs back in the bag and gave it to the customer. What the heck kind of professionalism is that? I am extremely upset with the service that I received today. It was so bad I'm not sure I will be back. Please handle this issue. ASAP . God Bless read more
