As a DMV foodie, I’ve been to Jerry's Seafood multiple times and it never disappoints. Home of the legendary Crab Bomb, this spot is a seafood lover’s dream. This time we ordered the Baby Crab Bomb and it was 10/10. Packed with jumbo lump crab meat and seasoned perfectly. If you love crab, this is a must order. We also had the crab dip topped with jumbo lump crab meat, and it was incredible. Rich, creamy, and loaded with real crab. The cream of crab soup and the half & half soup were both excellent. We even added extra jumbo lump crab on top. Funny story — we accidentally left both soups in the to-go containers before leaving and we were sick about it because they were that good. One of the kids ordered the chicken tenders and it came out looking like a full grown man’s plate — about

Nice place for fresh seafood! I went for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon and it was very crowded! Everybody's dishes looked magnificent! My food came out super quick and was worth every penny!

I had the pleasure of eating the infamous Crab Bomb circa 2016 and I never forgot how great it was. While in the area I detoured over to have it again and it didn’t disappoint! The creamy crab soup is decadent and very heavy, but delicious. I also had the opportunity to try some of the crab dip, and it was tremendously comforting.

I’ve visited Jerry’s Seafood numerous times, and the Crab Bomb continues to deliver. It’s consistently well prepared, generously portioned, and packed with quality crab meat. It remains the standout item and the primary reason to return. The restaurant has a casual, lively atmosphere that accommodates both family gatherings and group outings. Service has generally been efficient, especially considering how popular the location can be. While the Crab Bomb is consistently strong, some of the other menu items can vary in comparison. That said, when it comes to their signature dish, they execute it very well. Overall, Jerry’s remains a dependable destination for quality crab dishes and a Maryland classic experience.

🙋🏾‍♀️🦀Jerry’s located in Bowie was my favorite seafood restaurant in the DMV. I normally dined in at the restaurant. I always got the entree every time I ate there. I would normally eat at a table or at the bar on the bar side of the restaurant which was typically the more casual side. The other side of the restaurant was large and was more for a formal dine in experience. My go to there was the crab bomb entree and it never disappointed me. I had never had lump cramp meat like that before. It normally came with some sort of creamy house made sauce. The outer portion of the crab bomb was lightly breaded. I believe they baked not fried this lump crab meat. I believe it’s with the infamous delicious Maryland blue crab. 🦀 Nothing imitation about it at all. Period. It had just the right
