Reviews
Of course crabs are served here. It's a crab house. But the oysters were GREAT! I didn't know what to expect but they were so sweet and delicious. And as it turns out, although the crabs were ok, it was the oysters that was the tables' favorite. We were a group of 9 folks, with 7 from Europe. We were trying to give them something unique to Maryland so crabs was the obvious choice! Like I said, the crabs were good, but it was the oysters that carried the day . Service was great as was the food. Perfect place to bring friends, family, and guess who have never been to Maryland.
Crabs were cooked well. They put a ton of rock salt on the crabs after they were cooked. Too much. Made it harder to enjoy the crab. I saw other tables that did not have as much salt on their crab. I think they knew to ask for no salt. Service was ok but our server only checked on us three or four times over 1.5 hours. They could have sold more beers if they visited more. : It was late on a Sunday though so they may have been wrapping up the day. Overall it was a lovely evening on the water watching a sunset.
A bit out of the way...but worth the trip!!! We were with close friends and REALLY had a taste for blue crabs...and Captains John's absolutely satisfied the itch! They were running a special, 3 dozen mediums for $99. They were decently sized mediums and tasted great. The service was friendly, but a bit under-staffed, so wait time for a table for four took about 15 minutes. However, once we sat down and ordered, the crabs came out quickly. The restaurant sits right off the boat docks at the marina. The building could use some renovations ceiling had some water drips...not enough to worry, but enough to be irritating. Overall, relaxed atmosphere and great place to sit and enjoy some tasty blue crabs!
Oh My... I don't know if it's the fact that I didn't get my crabs all summer but when I finally sat down, it was a celebration and we ordered snow crabs, blue crabs, hush puppies, shrimp and fries. It was amazing, the crabs weren't as plumped as they normally were than as if it was the beginning of the season but you have to expect that, it's at the end of the season. But it was a wonderful place to sit at. The family and I went there for my birthday and it was a very nice time. My only concern was there was not much help, there were, I think three waitresses for the whole place and it was pretty busy. So our drinks would be low or down to nothing and we had to seek out to get a refill. The atmosphere was a little cold so the butter for the crabs hardened up very quickly, so there was a couple times we had to ask for extra butter. It seemed like all the waitresses worked together so we may not have had the same waitress the whole time but we tipped according to three waitresses so instead of giving 20% we gave a tip about 40% cuz it was a very pleasant atmosphere, they were all very friendly. It was very lively. It was a comfortable atmosphere, wasn't stressed out. It was a very laid-back relaxed dinner. I would recommend this restaurant for a great crab feast
Four days ago, August 29, 2023, we had lunch at Captain John’s Crab House. We ordered 3 dozen of medium steamed crabs. While eating the first few crabs we found out the crabs were not really fresh but we kept eating until we found out that many crabs 10 of them under the first layer were rotten and smelled terrible. Instead of requesting a refund, we gave the restaurant a second chance by accepting replacements for the stinky and rotten crabs. However, some of the replacement crabs are also rotten. Thus, we decided to stop eating and brought home some of the non-rotten crabs. However, we never ate them after getting home because, in the evening, four out of six of us had stomach aches and diarrhea. The symptoms last until two days after that meal. We have been sending two messages directly to the restaurant. Until now, we have not received any response from the restaurant. Our mistake was not requesting a refund as soon as we had the experience with the stinky and rotten crabs. Instead, we were very nice to give them a second chance. Now, Captain John’s Crab just ignores our complaint. This is the information from our receipt on August 29, 2023. Check number: 12. Table: 67. Party of 6. SvrCK: 7. Total: $224.68.
We rode up from Richmond to eat at this restaurant. It was 9 of us. They seated us very quickly, but failed to tell us they had only one cook and a party of 50 ahead of us. We ordered food and drinks,the drinks came, but no food. The waitresses was very informative l, stating that they knew we would have a long wait, but the owner told him/her not inform the customers. We waited for 2 hours to get our food. By then we were over this restaurant. The waitress was good,but overall, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant for anyone. Very bad experience and wouldn't come back!!!
Captain John's is truly a crab house. Table after table had piles of beautiful blue crabs piled up with diners clearly enjoying them. My companions and I chose to have the fried shrimp basket and the fried oyster baskets. Both were plentiful with succulent shrimp and oysters with crispy fries. Tarter and cocktail sauces served with both and tasty as well. Captain John's is worth the trip.
I have reviewed this place before, and given it high ratings. I deleted that review because this last time it seems like the food has not been up to par. Edit review: we returned so my boyfriend could have the all you can eat crabs. He was really working trying to get a crab big enough to find some meat. When he asked to get some crab with meat he was asked if he ordered the all you can eat crabs. He answered yes to which the server replied that all you can eat gets the smaller crabs. So just putting it out there to anybody that’s going to be getting the all you can eat crabs here at this place be expecting to get the smaller ones with less meat. My boyfriend said it’s not even worth picking and that they are bordering on illegal. He also has come to this place so many times. Is the go to place in Maryland for him and this is very disappointing. He said the crabs used to never be served like this. I’m vegan and I got the salad bar. The salad bar was not maintained. There were lots of spills. The pasta salad was warm. The coleslaw was warm. The salad lettuce was Wilty.. I definitely do not think we will ever return.
I had more guests to come the following week. I decided to give Capt. John's a second chance. I spoke to the manager. She must have put her best waitress on. We were treated with care and professional , awesome service it was my son's birthday he was very pleased, as was I. Thanks also to a manager who believes in customer service. Thank you, Daniella,for making my son's birthday a hit. Kid-friendliness: Different options for pickyeaters,
Let me say this thanks for ruining my birthday!!! Walked in wanted a table outside so we can enjoy some crabs on the water that's it. Instead we was greeted with a nasty waitress saying the outside is closed we asked why she then turned and said it's hot..it's 90 degrees shouldn't that be our decision racial overtones is what did it for me tho spend your money wear you are wanted just saying!!!
