Why drive to MD to have best whole Blue Crabs  done MD-style or in a garlic  sauté + MD Crabcakes when u can come here?! MD Crab  & NE Clam chowdas  (altho' watery) are tasty. Order drinks & wait it out!

ZenFoodster

Know what ur getting...ask waitress to bring #1 (larger) vs #2 (smaller) Blue Claw crabs to compare sizes - varies daily! I eat 'em Shanghainese way-simply steamed-w/ Chiangkang Black Vinegar sauce !

Alaskan King Crab @$42/lb (1 jumbo leg) supplier is frm CA & was fresh but meat was brinier than sweet. Blackened Grouper-fresh, tasty & not too oily-good find! Potato salad was bland & starchy today.

Jeanne Mauermeyer

Looking for the best seafood place in town ? Come here. I've been coming to Mud City for many years with my family. Enjoy. *Award-Winning Crab Cakes are the best!*

Even if U don’t leave room for dessert after this sumptuous seafood meal, get the Key Lime pie to go..it’s the best 1 I’ve had in a while!

Brad Bennett

Awesome food and a whole dining experience. Be prepared to wait because their isnt a large seating area but its BYOB and they have picnic tables you can order apps outside while you wait.

Kathleen Creelman

I love the garlic mussels - they are to die for- my husband loves the garlic clams . You can't go wrong with the jumbo lump crab cakes - all crab meat . ( tie breaker )!

ZenFoodster

Not a fan of Ipswich clam w/ a siphon (gross foot/tail). I go 4 smaller Littlenecks or medium-sized Topnecks / Middlenecks but wish MC’s steamed 1’s weren’t gritty. No Manila & Razor Clams found here

Brett Hughes

Just had a family dinner here everything people had was excellent. Butterfly shrimp salmon and calamari . Excellent.

Joseph Romano

Do yourself a favor-pick out a nice fat dungeness crab from the tank and have them serve it to you "garlic style" its insanely delicious. Then come on here and thank me. Your welcome in advance

Jennifer Ciszewski-Murphy

Great place. Fresh seafood . They have a limited micro brew selection but still allow byob - the mussels were to die for

Best seafood bisque I ever had. Food was delicious. The best hidden treasure around.
