The Crab Shack Edgewater

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for The Crab Shack – Edgewater, MD After a disappointing experience at The Crab Shack in Crofton—which ended with the manager issuing us a gift card for the entire meal—we decided to give the Edgewater location a try since it’s closer to home. And we are so glad we did. From start to finish, the experience at the Edgewater location was excellent. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. Everything from the taste to the presentation was 100 percent on point. The staff was professional, friendly, and welcoming, and the restaurant itself was clean, well-kept, and inviting. We are beyond pleased and truly impressed. This location has completely restored our trust in the brand, and we’ll definitely be coming to the Edgewater location from now on

Nice spacious restaurant with prompt and pleasant service. The crab cakes were 98% lump crab and so delightful. The crabs were sweet and fairly priced. Would love to come back next season!

Only complaint we (my son) have is the claw machine isn’t a guaranteed win. Legendary staff, great food (MUCH improved since opening years), outdoor seating with tiki umbrellas and a solid vibe at an affordable price. $5 tall boys and legit crushes (I’m an expert) means you can’t lose supporting this amazing small business!!

Orders are taken at the counter and can be brought to the table or to go. The boiled shrimp was excellent even though it is a self-peel; however, the restaurant makes it for easy peeling. The hush puppies were very tasty. Sadly, the Maryland Crab Soup with "lump" crab was very disappointing. There were no lumps of crab, in fact it was difficult to find crab. The soup should have been called Vegetable Soup with Hints of Crab" or "Tomato Soup with Vegetables and Maybe Some Crab if You are Lucky" since there were a LOT of tomato chunks and other vegetables and just a few slivers of crab. Over all, it is a good place to eat. The service was prompt and very good with friendly personnel. 09/09/2025 - I returned to give this restaurant a second chance, and I am glad I did!! This time I had a cup

My girlfriend and I were out last Friday night and decided on crabcakes so we went to our favorite spot. We were pleasantly surprised. The gentlemen in the front let us know they were hosting a comedy night for $20 a ticket so we decided to stay. Best decision ever!! Professional stand up comedians who were very funny and appropriate comedy for everyone. It started around 8 PM and finished around 10 PM. This included happy hour priced drinks during the show. I was amazed at the level and experience of this show. It was right around the corner from home so can't beat it! The gentlemen in the front let me know this is a once a month on the 3rd Friday of each month. I already have tickets for the next show. I hope more support this comedy night. Its a perfect night out!
