    This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the servers are also great and always efficient, happy and polite. If you have a chance to sit in Crystal’s section she makes the experience 10x’s better. She is so knowledgeable and will always make great recommendations for our family when it is their first time visiting. She knows what she is doing and what she is talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is her main priority. We always go to LP Steamer's when we have family in town. Everyone truly has the best time and always raves about the food. We are so fortunate to have this place just a block away from our home. Food is always on point, both the Maryland blue crabs and snow crabs are amazing. Wine selection is great and awesome selection of beers. Love this place and will continue to visit.

    Fabulous place for New Year's Day dinner. Wonderful staff and tasty seafood. Steamed crabs, cream of crab soup, crab cake and onion rings all were delicious. I learned how to pick a crab. Fun fun! The entire vibe was relaxed and chill. Will be back.

    You cant beat the price!! For three drinks, a half dozen extra large crabs, 1lb of crab legs, corn, and hush puppies all came out to less than $120. What a steal, especially if you're familiar with the price of crab nowadays. Hands down one of the best tasting crab’s I’ve ever had. Probably should have ordered large as I was full after eating three because they were so full of crab meat. The staff is extremely kind and very attentive to their patrons. I had a wonderful experience and already planning my next trip back.

    Ordered and finished 4 Large Crab orders with family. I love how they cooked it with Old Bay Seasoning. When they say it's large, it is really what it is. Definitely going back. Served with wooden mallet and knife. And they let us eat it with our owned cooked rice from home and homemade Filipino Sauces.

    The hush puppies was amazing! The shrimp dish was great too. The only reason for four stars was the unasked up-charge. I asked for a the fried shrimp plate with just shrimp and fries. It came with coleslaw. We asked the waitress and were told it comes with it. Actually, it doesn’t come with it unless you add $3. So $6 was added to my husband and I meals without permission. I ate half of mines and my husband didn’t touch his coleslaw. I found out after looking at the menu online. Double check what you order. I walked from a hotel nearby so I can’t attest to parking.

    Crabs were fresh, and steamed to perfection, although it would be hard to mess that up. We also ordered fried pickles, which had a thicker breading than the last time I was here, and the fried calamari were slightly overcooked. Otherwise the restaurant is clean and well lighted, and the server was very attentive. Little on the pricy side, but quality is worth it.

    Great flavor on everything. Started with the local oysters, they were clean bright flavor, really cold and delicious. We got the large steam crabs and both types of crab cakes. The old bay on the steamed crabs was amazing, great texture, perfect size. If I came again I'd get the steamed crab cakes, they had more flavor although both were really good. 100% recommend.

    We first came here in 2016 and loved it so much we had to come back when we came to Baltimore again. Casual, comfortable atmosphere with great food. Everything we got was fresh and delicious. Service was quick and very friendly. So glad we came back!

    This was my 1st time here. I'm from Maryland, I love shellfish and all types of seafood. In my opinion, they have mediocre service and tight seating but it's not the worst place to get really good seafood. Our crabs came out hot, juicy and fresh. The crab soup was flavorful although it could have used more crab. Delish though 😋 I do wish their was a way to cut down on the flys.

    This is definitely an experience and a good one at that! It’s great for hanging out with friends and family. There’s a rooftop deck too if you’d like to be outside with a view, and plenty of indoor seating. Tucked away into a quiet neighborhood of baltimore the view was great and the seafood was delicious! The hush puppies are a MUST! While the majority of the menu is seafood there are some options for non-seafood lovers too. Definitely worth a try especially if you love crab!

    One of our favorite places to eat in Baltimore. Blue claws are good. Crab dip the pretzel sticks are excellent. We tried the oysters for the 1st and now we're a fan of them. Service always been good also. We live in Jersey and drive 2 hours just to eat here

    This spot is a nice local spot offering really good seafood. Ordered the boat load which is shareable and comes with a pitcher and was beyond satisfied. The staff are friendly and accommodating too. Definitely will come back for the shrimp and beer.

    Love the crabs here! The crabs were juicy and spicy with the old bay seasoning. We also got the fried platter and I got the fried soft shell crab but I don’t think I would get either again. The fried platter was so tiny for $28 and only the fried shrimps were good or memorable. The rest I couldn’t tell what was fried at all. The soft shell crab was nice in that you could eat everything but I would rather get the steamed jumbo crab instead at the same price which would mean more crab meat!!! So next time, I would get like 8 jumbo crabs 🦀

    My first time here and my server was friendly and very attentive, didn’t miss anything. The food was exactly how I thought it would be, got the ginormous blue crab and the old bay seasoning was perfect to use on the crab meat. The crab cake was very filling, loved that it’s mostly meat and not breading. The fries are great, this is a must try place to go if you’re visiting the area.

    What an amazing place. The food was fresh, the service was very quick and attentive. We had the hush puppies, crab soup, crab dip with the pretzels and of course 🦀!!! It was worth my 4hour drive from NY to have dinner. I will definitely be back. They earned all of their 🌟

  • 5/5 Monne D. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is fairly small. Only about 7 tables on the inside. This is definitely a happening place so be prepared for a small wait. Street parking is available. The food is great here. The service is good. We really enjoyed the stuffed soft shell! Highly recommend it. The steamed crabs were meaty and delicious. If you're in the mood for steamed or raw seafood, this is the place.

    I regret to share our recent experience with the crab house fell far below expectations. Despite purchasing a dozen medium crabs for $80, the quality was severely lacking. Upon picking up our order just before closing time, around 815-830pm; ordered placed around 730pm, we discovered the crabs were nearly hollow, burnt, and dry, as if they had been precooked and then reheated. We contacted the establishment but they were already closed. We picked through all of them, trying to make the best of it bc we did just spend $80 and only 2 were salvageable. I'm not sure if this was bc we purchased close to closing but I wouldn't have sold these crabs to my worst enemy. After encountering this issue, I promptly contacted the establishment on Wednesday, only to be informed the owner was out of town until after Thanksgiving. Despite taking photos and expressing our concerns, we were advised to call back post-holiday. At that time, no one told me I would need to keep the crabs to return. When I reached out today, Monday, November 27th, I was informed nothing could be done as they did not physically have the crabs in question. This lack of accountability left me puzzled – should I have stored subpar crabs in my fridge for days until the owner's return? It's disheartening to report a few of the crabs even tasted spoiled. I had hoped for some resolution, especially considering the evidence provided with photos and the receipt. To add to the disappointment, when seeking accommodation, I was met with a dismissive response from L.P. Steamers, indicating a refusal to make any adjustments. This entire experience has left a lasting negative impression, and I cannot fathom returning to an establishment that not only delivers poor-quality food but also fails to address customer concerns in a satisfactory manner.
