The all-you-can-eat shrimp exceeded expectations with juicy, perfectly cooked bites arriving hot and fresh, complemented by a flavorful Maryland crab soup that set the tone for the meal. Every dish-from crab cakes bursting with lump crab meat to massive, flavorful steaks-showcased a dedication to hearty, satisfying seafood fare, all served with attentive and friendly service despite the bustling, lively atmosphere. Though the ambiance leaned casual and a bit noisy with occasional flies, the genuine flavors and generous portions made it a memorable celebration and a place I'm eager to return to.

We were craving crabs, but they were sold out, so we opted for the all-you-can-eat shrimp instead, and they were absolutely delicious. The waitress was attentive, ensuring our plates were always filled with piping hot food, and the soup was particularly tasty. Despite the outdated decor, the fantastic variety of dishes we tried, including crab cakes, new york strip, and crab dip, were all flavorful and satisfying.
