Passing through not necessarily expecting a excellent meal. Sure I only got a single thing but while it was good getting chance to sample the house special seafood boil was a welcome surprise. The service for my food was actually faster than my tables other orders which I must commend. The drinks are not at all nastyand compliments to the bartender; You pour a nice poison friend. Our waitress is pretty fast also 🤣 zooming but keeping it all in view, she's pretty good. Thanks for not complaining about my longboard🤙

If you’re planning a family outing at this place…DO NOT GO . First of all they had music playing “I’ll beat you’re a$$” , followed by men staring at and trying to talk to my minor daughters. The waitress was sweet , but once our food was delivered at our table she did not come once to check on us , I had to get up to look for someone multiple times to get us more water , lemons, to go bag , and even to pay our tab. Mind you they charge an %18 tip for parties over 6. One of the staff even came to tell all the waitresses that even though she was not the manager to focus on their job and to stop entertaining those that were at the bar .I forgot to mention that upon my entry I was not greeted or asked how many of us would be there . I had to “interrupt “ a personal conversation and let them k

This was by far the worst Crafty Crab location I have ever visited. A group of friends and I came in after work and ended up having a larger party than originally planned. The cashier (a dark-skinned woman with blonde braids) was extremely kind, patient, and accommodating. I wish I had gotten her name because she was the only employee who showed professionalism, and she deserves recognition. Unfortunately, the waiter assigned to our table was very rude from the beginning. She was a brown-skinned older woman with a short 27-piece style hairstyle. She approached our table asking if the cashier had spoken with us, and when we said no, she stormed back to the register and complained loudly about having to take our table saying “yall need to get these people” or something to that nature.

We visited Crafty Crab at 5644 Silver Hill Rd, in District Heights, MD, as first-time customers and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience due to poor service. Our waitress, Dimee, approached our table and abruptly said, “You ready to order?” As we began placing our order, she unexpectedly walked away to talk to the bartender. After we finally placed our order, and I even pointed to the exact item, we waited quite a while for drinks. She brought our food first and only later returned with our drinks, without straws. When she dropped the food off, she placed it on the table without saying anything and walked away. I then informed her that my order was incorrect. She took the plate back without any acknowledgment or apology and still did not bring straws for our drinks. Due to

No where on the website it states 21+ to DINE IN. Was refused service immediately with attitude by a light skinned black female with a uncountable amount of piercings & tattoos. Which is funny because it was two parties in front of my and my colleague and the lady didn’t bother to ask for any identification from them. If you’re gonna pick and choose when to reinforce a policy you shouldn’t be at the front as a hostess, especially with a nasty attitude like hers. That should be questioned by a higher up and that employee should be eligible for termination. Maybe try to keep it 21+ at the BAR instead of loosing business from a crowd under 21 who just wants a spicy 1/2 crab & 1/2 shrimp boil..Unfortunately, this location will never receive my money again or my business again🙏🏿.
