Ernie's Crab House Lanham

Service has always been superb for decades. The crab sizes competes with anyone in the DMV. In summer, I suggest you order the larger crab sizes over the phone- they go really quick. The medium size crabs usually are other establishments large. Extra large or Jumbo sizes will be hard to eat a dozen by yourself at one sitting.

These crab were not FRESH! Injection wholes in EVERY CRAB, )$220 for 2 crabs. 1 dozen XL & 1 dozen Large MALES. Ate 14/24 crabs the rest were spoiled. The people who sold the crabs were nice but we won’t be back 🫤

I had a pretty good impression overall of checking out this seafood restaurant. It is a family-run business. A quaint 2nd-3rd generation Asian family who has been running this gem 💎. Good for them! I went with the crab cake platter which included 2 sides. I picked the coleslaw and french fries. The crab cake was good 👍🏾. I loved the crinkle cut fries! The cashier, the daughter of the owner I presume, was uber friendly and knowledgeable about things. We talked for a bit. One of the things, I talked with her about was the newly instituted 'Better Bag Bill' in Prince George's County 👑 (since January 1, 2024.) The new law has enacted that applicable restaurants/businesses are allowed charge a minimum of 10 cents/ paper bag or reusable bag bought by a customer at checkout. I am for the bill ✅

I LOVE GOING TO THIS LOCATION. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AWESOME. THEY KNOW THEIR REGULAR CUSTOMERS BY NAME. CRABS ARE ALWAYS MEATY AND GOOD. THEIR PLATTERS ARE GOOD TOO. THEY HAVE NEVER DISAPPOINTED ME. I GOT XL MALES AND THEY WERE HEAVY AND MEATY!

First time here and was not disappointed with my order of fried perfectly butterfly shrimps and the collard greens were nice and warm. It was a take out for me to my liking. I made a last minute change to my order with ease. Greeted warmly by the person behind the counter. They had my food ready with my last minute change. They used a paper bag instead of the plastic ones and that is a plus. Only bcuz you can fold it close and the food is still warm and delicious.
