This is a regular weekend stop for us for lunch or dinner. Broiled crabcakes, crab imperial, shrimp salad, and hamburgers are our regular meals. The ice cream sundaes and pie are great too. When sports are on, we typically eat in the bar area. Love...this place!More

I had a sudden yearning for hard shell steeped in Old Bay seasoning so on an impulse, I drove out to Kent Island and went to the crab deck which a friend recommended. Totally fine experience, water views from the deck. Before, I had always...gone to Jimmy Cantler’s Riverside Inn, a wonderful place, but its one downside is a winding road to its parking lot when at busy times can result in a logjam. The Crab Deck is much bigger than Cantler’s and has a huge parking lot and is just off Route 50. I had a half-dozen of the mediums for $29 and 4 of 5 were heavy.More

I love this place!!! My favorite place to eat yummy crabs with a view of the water. This place is always crowded but they have a waitlist system via Yelp so you can add yourself before arriving. Came here this past Saturday afternoon—we got a...table on their outdoor patio deck right by the water! Got the Large Crabs for $88/dozen—so delicious and lots of meat! For appetizers, the Cream of Crab and Fried Calamari were good. For sides, we got French Fries, Hush Puppies and Corn on the Cob—the corn is so sweet! Also, the Crabcake Sandwich was great. For drinks, they are pretty generous with the alcohol. My friends love the Malibu Caribbean Rum Bucket—it’s served in a cute bucket with four different flavors of Malibu rums with juices. Key Lime Crush is good too if you like sour drinks—we found out you can also order the crushes in a “pitcher” size for $33. Service is always great here too!More

We ordered several dishes including the crab cakes and crab 🦀 rolls. Unless you put enough tartar sauce, it was tasteless. Some people told us that it really wasn’t 🦀 season because they are shedding. It will take several weeks before they are ready to...harvest. Oh, boy what a complete disappointment😖. The location and service was great so it wasn’t a total loss. One of the cherry stone clams seemed bad based on taste.More

The Crab Deck has long been our family’s favorite go-to crab place — good quality crabs, solid hushpuppies and other dishes, and a fun breezy waterfront location with a great view. Definitely five-star quality in our book, but this last weekend though we just threw...an event with them for the first time — and they were *fabulous.* Again, the food was great, as were the drinks, the hosting space was superb, and the service was friendly and on point (they even stopped a couple kids from trying to tumble into the water in between teaching a bunch of crab neophytes how to pick). They made our anniversary party really special and fun!More

Total waste of money! Be prepared to be served on plastic dishware with paper cups for the drinks. The window sills have about an inch of dirt and grime on them...probably need a power washer to come thru at this point. And the gnats! Don't...get me started. The crab dip and the the crab cakes are good, but tiny in comparison to other restaurants. For $40 a plate this place just doesn't cut it. And they want $2 extra to get a side salad in place of one of the side dishes. Not bad...until they brought the side salad to the table. The cucumbers should have been thrown away (soggy and on their way to rotting) on top of arugula that was wilted and the one piece of tomato that was on it's way to the garbage pail as well. The "jumbo" shrimp was barely as big as regular shrimp, definitely not enough to butterfly. Apparently even the locals don't enjoy this place. No problem getting a table at dinnertime...hmmm...that should have been my first clue. Save your money!! I wish I would have!More

The crabs are so amazing here that we ate here 6 times in four days. We had many, many jumbos, and they all were heavy, fresh, cooked perfectly, moist, and delicious. The Maryland vegetable crab soup is loaded with crab and veggies. So good. Drinks...are ice cold and refilled often. Frozen drinks are so fruity and luscious. Also enjoyed clams, flounder, soft crabs, and fish tacos. Garden salads were crisp, cold, and fresh. All the staff are pleasant, helpful, and kind. And the bathrooms are immaculate. On top of it all, the views are amazing. Thanks to everyone at the Crab Deck.More

This restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating on the water with lovely views especially at sunset when we were there. The food was fabulous: I had flounder stuffed with crab imperial and my husband had the broiled seafood platter, both were delicious. Our waitress, Rachel,...was great, as well… even made a special effort to take a really good picture of us with the sunset outside on the pier.More

We have stopped here before, but we hadn’t stopped in a while. We like the location with the open air seating alongside the water. Our server was excellent and checked in with us on a regular basis. We started by ordering the fried calamari that...was delicious with the draft Blue Moon beer. The crabcake on mixed green salad was just right with the honey mustard dressing. Unfortunately the flounder platter was bland and tasted more poached and simply seasoned with paprika rather than broiled with white wine butter. Despite the flounder, we’re definitely coming back as a this is a good spot for a meal on the way to the beach!More

I have never had a reservation, however, with 10 people, I probably would give them a heads up. That way they could have a larger table ready and you could all sit together.
