Stay away....stay very far away. If I could give it less than 1 star, I would.
A poorly run restaurant that clearly does not care about its customers and only cares about the bottom line.
The service was bad, really, really bad. Then there's the old bait and switch. They advertise $2 crabs on Monday night. What they don't tell you, and what you don't find out until the end, is that first of all, they tack on a 2-drink minimum, then they AUTOMATICALLY add 18% gratuity, AND they include the tax before they compute the gratuity.
In addition, they claim on their menu that they serve the "best steamed crabs in Baltimore." If these are the best steamed crabs, boys and girls, Baltimore is in real trouble. First of all, they do not serve Maryland crabs, but crabs from the Gulf. The crabs were very light, and one was mushy.
My waitress, you should excuse the expression, tried to charge me for 6 crabs. I had initially ordered 6, but because she was not around, I sent 1 back with one of the other waitresses and decided to keep that $2.
I could go on, but suffice it to say that this was one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had. I will never go back there and suggest that no one else give them any business.
Don't stop here....read all of the other poor reviews in this listing. I am sorry that I did not read them before I went. Clearly, the new management does not care about its customers.

Black people stay away from this place!!!, they will make you feel very uncomfortable and charge you regular price during happy hour. My coworker and I stopped in for Tuesday wing special after work. we ordered 30 wings and some drinks. when the wings came out the waitress gave us 1 small to go tube of blue cheese for 30 wings, we had to keep asking for more. asked about free refills on soda, the waitress told us, once we order two a piece afterwards would be free refills. (never heard that one before) . I ordered a beer, keep in mind its happy hour. The waitress said the beer will not be happy hour price because we didn't sit at the bar. (that was something we should have been told from the start) we decided to leave and asked for a box to put the rest of the winds in. the waitress said that we could not take the wings out, (again, something that should have been told to us in the beginning) when we got the bill she charged us regular price for everything, even charge 30 cents more for each extra blue cheese sauce we ordered. Have I never, Will I never visit this place again
