AYCE Crabs is What it Literally Means!

All you can eat is what it literally means!!!! It kept coming and coming.The crabs were huge and juicy and it comes with the yummiest chicken!!!!, hush puppies, corn on the cob and crinkle French fries. The service was amazingly quick and the ambience kinda took you to krusty krab lol!
Definitely worth the spend and you need to plan on hanging out for at least 2 hours. Oooouuu before I forget, I had probably the best Moscow mule here.

Great Selection of Seafood

Excellent food, excellent staff. Great selection of seafood, but a menu to suit all tastes. Great service. In a nice area to take a walk by the water after dinner. Highly recommended.

Food Was Perfection

First time visiting and have to say it’s amazing! The service and food was perfection! Kudos to the chef!! Hope was very sweet, courteous and super attentive. Definitely in our top 3 go to places now for seafood! Nice atmosphere too!

This is Where We Celebrate

We eat here whenever we want to celebrate something! The staff is always great, and the first or second time we went, even gave a small tour of the rooms to us and told us the history of the building. Really cool. Food is always good and drinks are always good too!

Fried Chicken and Hush Puppies On Point!

Great experience for me, my mom, and sister’s first time. We’re definitely going back. Food was great. Drink’s we’re delicious. Fried chicken and hush puppies were on point!!!! Mom had ALL YOU CAN EAT CRABS for 59.99$. That included the fried chicken, hush puppies, and french fries. Thick fries not shoe laces. I’m excited to go back to be able to eat outside in warmer weather. This isn’t off the water but close enough.

Can’t Wait to Go Back

This was our first time there. It is a beautiful historical building and was decorated perfectly for the holiday season. The staff was knowledgeable and polite. The server Diana we had did an outstanding job explaining anything we asked. The atmosphere was very enjoyable and the meal was outstanding. Lots of food for your money. Would recommend 100%. Can’t wait to go back.

Nice Place for Cecil County Harvest Festival

Really nice place for the Cecil County Harvest Festival.

Parking was a bit tight.

The owner and staff were gracious and helpful at every turn. AND he promised to work in more local fare to his menu.

The chicken they served came from the Cecil County School of Technology Ag department. It was good.

We also liked the local wine.

Fun night with good food and entertainment.

From the Crab Bisque… Seafood Platter … Delicious

Thanks Paul Campbell for being a great server! From the crab bisque, fried green tomatoes with crab and corn salsa to the main course of apple-garlic rotisserie chicken, crab cakes, seafood platter…delicious 😋 Ambience was all that!!

Had AYCE Crabs, Corn, Chicken Hush Puppies

My first time there. Had the all you can eat crabs, corn, chicken, hush puppies. Best crabs I have had all season. Nice and full seasoned just right. My friend had as she said the best bloody Marys. Desert was peach cobbler awesome, bananas Wellwood she said they were delicious. The waitress was just the best, the manager also made sure he went to every table.

BEST CRABS ON THE NORTHEAST RIVER IN MARYLAND

Don't miss The River Shack, where you can put your toes in the sand at the Shack beach. The River Shack has been cheerfully described as the 'ideal hidden local spot' and a 'crab hunter's dream come true'. It is open during the warmer months, May through October. The River Shack is our 'traditional Maryland Crab House atmosphere' featuring steamed crab specials and famous fried chicken. It's a great place when you want a delicious meal without the fine dining setting. Watch for our "All You Can Eat" crab specials!
