Crab Barn Restaurant and Lounge

Visiting area and wanted to enjoy a special Birthday meal outing for my husband. The bar atmosphere is great. Local art work up on walls.Some for sale. The service was fantastic. We went at 1130 am on 7/26./25 Greeted by a very welcoming staff. Drinks were Great. Nice selection. Menu excellent choices. Got Apps - stuff mushroom and Alaskan snow crabs yum.

We did take-out & they were busy with sit downs. If you like Old Bay seasoning on your food, the crabcakes have plenty. They are delicious. The Maryland Crab soup is hearty but a bit too much tomato for my taste buds. The soft shell crab sandwich is flavorful & crunchy. Give this place a try!

Our server was very accommodating but everything else was a mixed bag. Cream of Crab Soup was lousy. Maryland Crab Soup was good. Peel and Eat shrimp was excellent. Hush puppies were mid. NY Strip very good. Prime Rib not so much. Flounder Sandwich was good. Fries on the side were terrible! We ordered some from one dozen blue crabs. Overall 5/10. They came 20 min after other food and without mallets. After we asked they found one mallet. A few minutes later they found a second and a few minutes after that a third. There were 4 of us at the table. The butter was butter flavored corn oil. I asked the food runner to bring me apple cider vinegar, he brought me balsamic dressing. The upside was they sold us mediums but the were definitely large. Unfortunately, they were very mushy and many empty shells. Our waitress was quick to replace half a dozen but it took another ten minutes to get them and by then we were ready to leave. I also hated that they sprayed a very chemical smelling table cleaner on the tables around us. I definitely would not go back.
