NOT HORRIBLE, BUT WON'T GO BACK 6/15/2009

When in the Baltimore area on business, I usually look for a crab/seafood restaurant to have dinner. I will not seek out this restaurant again. First impression on entering was gloomy and a little greasy. Was ready to forgive this for a good meal. Unfortunately, that's not what I got. The Maryland Crab Soup was not fresh tasting at all. It was ""mushy"" as if it had been on the burner too long. The baked potato tasted ""old"". The slaw was ""decent, the scallops were very nice, though there were not very many. The taste and texture of the scallops, saved what would have otherwise been a disaster. Pros: SCALLOPS WERE VERY GOOD Cons: REST OF THE MEAL WAS YUCK. ATMOSPHERE WAS DEPRESSING. more

Not what it was cracked up to be! 9/4/2006

The long awaited Bel Air location is a flop. This has got to be the worst seafood restaurant I have experienced since moving to the Bel Air/Baltimore area. The only good thing I can say about this place is the service was great. If the hamburger is as bad as the fish, please...go to Wendy's. Of three dishes we tried to order at first, they had none is stock. I selected the Shrimp chowder soup (the special) and it was COLD!. My steamed Shrimp was the typical Old Bay encrusted entree, totally hiding any favor the shrimp might have had. It is sad, with opening what was earmarked as a ""first class"" seafood place in Bel Air, only to find it is the same old ""Long John Silver's"" with a nicer decor. Avoid this place by all means, save your money and time for any thing else. Pros: Service / Decor Cons: Food, Value more

Not sure who goes to this place and enjoys spending the amount of money on seafood that is equal to a fish sandwich from McDonalds 8/26/2006

I just spent over $200 for 6 people (no alcohol) at the Bel Air location. The food was very disappointing. Way over priced, no flavor other than lots of butter on whatever you ordered. Waiter was nice but the service was very slooooow. Not impressed at all. Not sure who goes to this place and enjoys spending the amount of money on seafood that is equal to a fish sandwich from McDonalds. Not me, ever again!! Wish the Bel Air location had a website so I could share this with them! Pros: Beautifil restaurant. People spaced nicely. Cons: Food was horrible. Need to separate families with little kids away from others. more

Great Place! 5/9/2005

Great place for food, drinks, and fun! I would highly recommend the Crack Pot. There is some type of crabcake for everyone....With 10 different styles to choose from. There is the crusie missle, the hawaiian, and blackened in addition to many many more. My favorite is still the regular maryland crabcake. The wings and the burgers are excellent too! Bring your friends and family and I promise you will have a great time! more
