Crisfield Seafood

"Down town Silver Spring is a cool area with many different restaurants… I recommend trying one of those other options. I have been to the restaurant 2 times and both time the food was decent. I tried the fried option and the broiled option. The broiled option is better than the fried but both were nothing I recommend. Service is not the best, our server was not friendly and did not check in often although the restaurant was practically empty. The server had to be reminded of things we ordered and reached over our meal multiple times. We visited on a weekend for lunch and the spot was not busy at all. Food lacks seasonings/spice/flavor. Food looks better than it taste. Tomatoes were the best part of my meal. Crab cake is decent."

"Best crab cakes I’ve ever had. I had my fill and then some. Their homemade sauces (especially the tartar) are all top notch. As per Jay’s fantastic recommendation and with Dennis’ service, I had the platter of the shrimp and flounder stuffed with crab cake, with the side of lobster tail. It was the best seafood I’ve ever had in the DMV area. This family-owned restaurant has apparently been in it’s same place since the ‘40s— it’s one of the gems of Silver Spring, and more people need to know about them!"

"Cool ambiance brought us in. We both ordered fried combo plates and a beer. We were both disappointed in the meals as they were quite bland. The shrimp were good but the other fish were lacking. Beer was expensive. Sadly would not recommend. There are many other decent restaurants nearby with better food at lower prices just missing the 1945 vibe."

"This place was like a step back in time and very nostalgic. Loved that the interior has kept the original decor. It was very clean and well kept. We had the crab cocktail, fried crab cakes and seafood bisque. They all tasted good. Staff was very friendly and attentive."

"10 stars. It's been 20 years since I last visited, I no longer live in the area. OMG, better than any lump crab cake I have ever had. I wonder if they will rent a room to me in the back? I could easily live on this food."
