Fairfax City ReporterDecember 8, 2016Best place for best crabs, located on Route 50 in Fairfax, they're dedicated in serving the freshest, meatiest steamed blue crabs in the area. I especially liked the snow crab legs and fried oysters.
Everything, crabs, clams, shrimp it’s all great order everything on the menu. Get one of the all you can eat deals- Tom FoltzJuly 2, 2012All you can eat crabs are the best deal. Even the regulars are decent size and will fill you up. A cryin shame they don't have beer on tap a pitcher would go great with a hot dozen!
LyssNovember 8, 2010PLACE IS AWESOME. Had 4 large blue crab apiece and we were stuffed. EXCELLENT quality! and fun to eat with the mallets :D very chills and a great place to hang out. great service!!!
Ashley ParkerAugust 11, 2013Fish and crabs were quite good. Place is always busy so be prepared to wait or call ahead for take out!
Audrey AJune 23, 2011Very friendly service. Carry out orders prepared quickly. Table service even faster. Wish they had an outdoor patio...nothing beats crab picking outside!
Mimi RothwellDecember 30, 2011They never heard of foursquare and they do NOT accept American Express.
