★★★★☆ 4.0 Andre Morrison · Feb 2026

Variety of crab sizes. Limited parking space. Shrimps are very delicious and hot. Crabs are always flavorful. I've been coming here for over 25 years now!!! Lots of good memories. A well known spot in the neighborhood for many decades.

I can not believe this place. So first it has an indoor and outdoor place to order. The customer service was amazing. I was greeted and helped as soon as I walked in because they're were several people taking orders. Not only that but the Crabs were done already. I've never seen that before. It was like all she had to do was put them in a bag. They were still warm 15 minutes later when I was able to eat them. They were so so good too. I paid $20 for 1 dozen and I swear there were like 16 in the bag. This was super convenient as I was delivering a truck to Giant and could eat on My Lunch break.

I love ruff n ready crab!!! You just gotta catch them when they got the good ones + good deals. But it totally beats going down to the wharf when you don't have the time or good transportation 😉

The service was good, no waiting [senior and mobility].I have been waiting all season for some good MD blue crabs. Took all Summer to save up to buy a doz. I went to the best crab house RR. There crabs have been the best for many, many years. I was so disappointed. The male regular crabs were cold, small, no flavor, some were dry..and some tasted as if they drown in plain water. No more to say, maybe a bad day, wrong time of day, may be new management. I don't know, I m so disappointed

This is not the place I grew up on. The crabs are trash. They are serving crabs that are cold in the inside and warm on the outside. The crabs were pre-cooked, not freshly cooked. The shrimp were over cooked. Will NOT return.
