Eat outside for full enjoyment, order an orange crush , the crab dip , the snow crab legs are sweet and filling. Actually, you can't go wrong with anything you order. Parking is the only con :(

Lexi Ha

Always a great time! Get a table outside . Order a dozen to share with the family and get your hands dirty . Crabs are caught fresh daily. A must stop in spot whenever we pass through Maryland.

Loren Worsley

Omg had the crab cakes & rockfish on what happened to be most perfect day date ever. Those fish end up being the most tender perfect items I'd encountered in some time.

Marva Harris-Watson

Having the Fried Oyster Po'Boy Sandwich , which is a lunch special today. It's Crispy and flavorful. Cantler 's is an Annapolis icon and I enjoy coming here......try the Calamari !

We had the Blue Crab and a kids meal . Awesome food and service. This was our first experience enjoying Maryland blue crab and it was awesome. Our server took a lot of time to teach us the "How to"!

Alex G

Holy crabs . All you need to do is order any type of seafood to have a fantastic meal. Go look at the sail boats and live crabs on the back deck.

M Silberstein

Best crabs I've ever enjoyed. Worst wait possible. Go early. Limited parking and long waits . Totally worth the pain. Make a reservation to be safe. Off the beaten path. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

The crabs here are amazing. Locally sourced and super fresh. Everyone is really chill and the salads/sides are great too

Gabe Johnson

Worth the effort it takes to find the place. Blue Crabs meet the mallet. T-Shirt for sale at Horses Cut Shop Shirt Co. http://www.horsescutshop.com/cantlers-riverside-inn-t-shirt.html Read more

Crab cakes and blackened rockfish were great! Love sitting next to the water near the docks. Really nice to be able to see crabs/ fish from the boats to the tanks. Not many like it now

Eric Shangle

Get the jumbo or XL crabs . You are going to get dirty ...accept it and love it. Best location. Best crabs . Local favorite.

Robert Dempsey

Excellent. Arrived at 11:15 and already busy. By the time we left (1.5 hours later) there was a line of cars 20 deep waiting to get in. Both the service and food were excellent. Def going back.

Lorayne Constant

Wonderful creamy of crab soup . Delicious crabs and stuffed rockfish . I loved this place.

Cheryl Cusson

Ate at Jimmy's yesterday. The Super Crabs were delicious. Get there early, they don't take reservations and it was quite a long wait . Mind you, it was also Fathers Day. :)

Juan Llovet

Crab . Crab cakes are delicious. Crab roll is very nice, and easy to eat. Rockfish is great!

George Zinkgraf

Been coming here since 1980,,eating crabs and Rockfish always good service and foods. My soon was friends with one of the Cantlers family

Best known for its juicy Maryland blue crabs . If you come hungry, you'll want to delight in Jimmy's Crab Feast, a tasty combination of steamed crabs , mussels , and shrimp .

Behrad Eats

This waterfront restaurant is a go-to spot for mouthwatering steamed Maryland blue crabs .

Richard Revilla

You're gonna order the buckets of crab and your gonna get your hands dirty . Sit waterside enjoy the view and work those crabs .

Frank Davis

Worth the wait!! The crabs were unreal!!! I have grown up eating crabs and have eaten them everywhere, but these were simply awesome!!!

micilin odonaghue

Order a dozen blue crabs for 2... With Butter, vinegar, and an hour to spare. It's intense. Thank the crabs .????

ᴡ Johnston

Really great/fresh seafood . Crabs are their specialty but everything else ordered I great too.

Hachikaoru

Great place to eat blue crabs . Must go.

Jess B

If you have never eaten blue crab , they will show you an easy demonstration! You will be a pro in no time, and the crab is sweet and delicious!

Arrive by boat and enjoy the beautiful view while you eat some delicious crab and seafood ! Read more

Armands Kruze

Excellent soft shell crab & fried crab cake sandwich

Derek Gaskins

Great views and ambiance on the water. Crabs were ginormous and delicious!

Jen Martin

Crabs are a gamble . Tonight we had a dozen large we paid $85 for and half were carcasses of watery mashed potatoes . Highly upset. Although they gave us replacement crabs , they weren't much better.

Stephen Fraser

The steamed clams are excellent. Would recommend them to anyone accustomed to New England lobster shacks.

Ardon Gemeny

The food is great! The place is dive. The location is worth the drive.

George Zinkgraf

You can get there by car and by boat. Need to be local to get there by boat.

Marva Harris-Watson

Something or someone has changed and it's NOT a positive change;a major change in their shrimp salad seasoning, cream of crab texture and taste; fish sandwich smaller than the soggy tomatoes .

C Thompson

Great local place, hard to find, fantastic seafood !

Professor Twain ????????⚾⚾

Beautiful view and great seafood . One outdoor table allows dogs.

Jane Browne

Lovely setting an good food - a must for blue crab . Soft shell crab were fantastic .

Wendy Chen

Definitely order the cream of crab soup . best I've tried, to date. (the rest of the menu is just as amazing!)

Matrix Teaches

Don't waste your time with anything else, just get the CRAB !! The best I've ever had in the U.S?

Naptown ???? Larry

It's buried back in a residential neighborhood so it's a little hard to find, but Definitely the best crabs on the Western shore of the bay (Annapolis).

Alex G

Crabs and crab cake sandwich , can’t go wrong

Gary

Get a table outside close to the bay and enjoy the view while eating on some good grab.

George Zinkgraf

Go there,for the crabs ,all day anything made with crabs .

Sarom eO

place your crab order in before you order drinks or appetizers !

Scott Rowley

What's the difference between squid and octopus ? Who cares?!? You get them both when you order the calamari ! Yummy!

Gregg Banse

Go for the large crabs . Eat outside if you can.

Road Unraveled

The best place for authentic Maryland Crabs . A little tricky to get to, but totally worth it.

Naptown ???? Larry

The crabs are always good and it has a great atmosphere out on the elevated water side deck.

Todd Schorle

Cantler 's has the best blue crabs in the DC Metro area. Sit outside and order the medium size crabs and a can of Yuengling beer .

Raakin Roll

The lobster 's there was indeed on point.

Michael Patrick Joseph Gallagher

We have never had a bad time here. Just a real nice place to relax .

It's always crowded for good reason. Go early to get the big crabs, ask for a water side table right out on the docks, and if you've never had one, give the softshell clams a try! - Naptown ???? Larry
