Captain John's Crab House - Newburg

The oysters on the half shell were delicious and full of flavor. The server was friendly and knowledgeable. The mozzarella sticks were typical frozen ones, but cooked perfectly.

The restaurant is good and I enjoy its location. It seems to be a favorite among locals, although I noticed many cars with DC plates in the parking lot. The ambiance is fairly casual, with an old-fashioned feel.

Seafood Platter: Crab cakes: I decided to splurge an extra $5 for the crab imperial topping. The imperial consisted of generous chunks of lump crab meat. When I received my crab imperial...

? Oh, my... I don't know if it's the fact that I didn't get my crabs all summer, but when I finally sat down, it was a celebration? and we ordered snow crabs, blue crabs, hush puppies, shrimps and fries. Was it? amazing, the crabs were not as feathered as they were normally as if it was the beginning of the season, but you must expect that it is at the end of the season. But it was a wonderful place to sit. The family and I went there for my birthday and it was a very nice time. My only concern was that there was not much help, there was, I think, three waiters all over the place and it was pretty busy. So our drinks would be low or down to nothing and we had to look for a refill. The atmosphere was a bit cold so that the butter for the crabs hardens very quickly, so there were a few times we had to ask for additional butter. It seemed as though all waiters worked together, so we didn't have the same waitress all the time, but we tipped after three waitresses, so instead of 20% we gave a tip about 40% Cuz it was a very pleasant atmosphere, they were all very friendly. It was very alive. It was a pleasant atmosphere, was not stressed. It was a very relaxed dinner. I would recommend this restaurant for a great crab festival?

I love the view of the water and enjoy the company of the family and enjoy great food.
