The Crackpot Seafood Restaurant 8102 Loch Raven Boulevard, Towson, MD 21286

"New atmosphere. It used to have bar vibes, but now it is a full-blown lounge/ club—loud music with a good DJ."

"This place is no longer a seafood restaurant! Do not go if you are looking for seafood. My family made that mistake tonight. It was Indian food. Tasty, but not what we wanted. I'm not sure as to why they're still using Crackpot Seafood as their name....."

"The food and service are okay. The catfish and fries are good. They give a nice portion size. The pepper jack cheese bites are good. The drinks are good depending on the bartender."

"Was somewhat worried seeing reviews especially the most recent ones. A Friend treated me to birthday dinner here after we went to our usual for Crab Cakes and it was closed. On a whim wind up @ The Crackpot. We were seated quickly. Staff was very polite & friendly. Very Casual, Homey Spot located on a strip mall type area. Restaurant was clean. AC was up kinda high/cold. Lots of TV's around. Not loud. Just a handful of us in there Labor Day Sept 4, 2023 around 5pm. Food did not take that long. Nothing was hot but very warm which was alright. I got the 2 Crabcake Dinner; friend had Steak & Crabcake, Broccoli, & Mashed Potatoes. Also Sierra Mist + a great homeade unsweetened iced tea (used Sweet & Low on the table.) The Crab Cakes were a nice size, looked good & fried beautifully, and had plenty crabmeat + a few small backfin pieces along with filler; they needed SOME FLAVOR though; particularly seasoning of any kind, or Old Bay BUT they weren't bad...not sure why their crabcakes were garnished with CILANTRO tho. Crispy fries. Coleslaw was good & fresh but very oniony tasting. Steak was delicious & mostly tender but came well-done instead of medium- rare as asked for. Mashed Pot were tasty too. Broccoli ok. Portions for Dinners were OK. Staff was attentive but not obtrusive. Only seemed to be 2 staff & 1 Bartender @ empty bar. Overall not exactly THE Best ...but definitely not terrible either. Food was pretty good. Reasonable prices. Reheated my leftover 2nd Crabcake @ home, added some Old Bay it was Delicious AFTER BEING SEASONED."

"Negative: large crabs were cold, light, mushy, and not good on flavor(where is the seasoning?). The margaritas tasted like sour mix. So bitter you clench your teeth. Positive: waitress was attentive, clean environment and vibe. Requested some honey lemon pepper wings which were not a normal menu item. They made them and they were really good. I would do take out on wings for sure but not returning for crabs or drinks"
