***Check your bag before leaving!!!! I asked for extra seasoning and my crabs had no seasoning on them, this visit. I did get a bag of seasoning before leaving, thankfully.*** Worth a try!! The staff is very professional and attentive. The service is fast; I ordered when I arrived and waited only about 10 minutes. The prices are reasonable for the area and the taste is pretty good. I ordered a dozen of the medium males and they were a good size. Most of them were very meaty; I only had one that was light and empty. The seasoning is very tasty! It’s not too salty and has some kick to it. It is not a rock salt blend. The seasoning did not reach the inside of the crab well, so the meat and “mustard” were bland. Being a Baltimore native, my expectations may be higher than most. All in all, great place to try. The restaurant is large and offers dine-in with an all-you-can-eat option. There is ample parking as well.

My family and me traveled to Washington DC area to visit family and attend a wedding. We wanted fresh seafood, my family recommended this place. At first I was think someplace on the waterfront but glad we came here. My daughter who never tried seafood before loved it.

Good seafood for a reasonable price. We got a dozen female medium crabs and a crab leg combo. The fried shrimp was just ok but the crab cake was good. Overall the seafood was fresh. Big dining room and quick, polite service

My boyfriend and i wanted a good seafood dinner so we visited this place for the first time. He got the all you can eat crabs (not pictured) and i got the fried soft shell crab with fries and corn. We shared a plate of oysters as an appetizer. The soft shell crabs were just okay for me. They were a bit too greasy for my preference. I wouldn't order them again. The all you can eat crabs, oysters, and sides were all very good. We also had a great waiter! I would come back again.

Fantastic family style seafood restaurant, very spacey environment with tvs that play sports all over the restaurant. Great bar and fresh seafood. Parking was easy the time I went was on a Saturday evening so it was pretty busy, if you stop and eat any other day during the afternoon the wait is very short

The food was good and we got seated right away. However, the server we had tells lies! He said he didn't take a gratuity off my card. My bill was 176.06. When I got home and checked, he had swiped my card for 202.47. That's an extra 26.41. I gave him a 20.00 bill for a tip. I hope his manager reads this because I manage a law firm and I might just get petty about that and cause them some financial problems. I hate people that lie.

I’ve been at Captain Pell’s couple of times and was happy with their crabs and beer. I usually go with “all you can eat” spices and sauce are delicious. Recommend!
