Okay, I don't give out five stars that often but this place truly deserves it! I discovered this place about three years ago by a co-worker who was telling me about this place. By her recommendation, I went one day with my husband to try it out. We ordered three dozen extra large males to share with my entire family. When we got home, the crabs were still steaming hot. The crabs were really descent size and we were all just blown away by the taste. It was really flavorful, juicy, and there was A LOT of meat in those crabs! After that one one try, I have not been able to go anywhere else to get crabs. We have yet to be disappointed and everyone that we recommended to this place, has yet to be either. Great customer service too! FYI- they steam your crabs when you order. Expect a freshly steamed crabs upon ordering! Yummy!

I will admit that the crabs and corn were good. That is as far as my kind words go. The service was terrible! Got there 20 minutes prior to my order time and paid. Hoped our food world be ready by my order time. It was not. However, other people came in and had the same order time as we did. Difference was that they were clearly friends of the employees, because the went behind the counter and into the kitchen. And wouldn't ya know it, they got their food within 5 minutes, whereas we had been waiting for 15 minutes. And it was not one group of people, but three or four. We still didn't get our food til 10 minutes after our order time. Other patrons were complaining too, but the employees didn't seem to care. Especially the short portly red-headed girl, who was rude when asked about our food. Then I bought table paper and when I got home and unrolled it, it barely covered enough space on the table to sit my bags on. It's a shame too, because the food was good and the homemade stuff in the cooler looked good as well. I will warn everyone I know to avoid that place, unless they enjoy shitty customer service.

I have never had any issues with Vince's. They sell their crabs right off the boat, so they're fresh and not picked over like you find at more inland establishments. They have an amazing crab pretzel which is only $5 on Wednesdays. The seasoning for the steamed crabs is perfect and I won't go anywhere else.

Just had a bushel delivered last weekend, and they were fantastic, not a light one in the bunch, heaviest bushel I have seen in a while! Thanks Brenda and Vince, you've earned my business going forward!!!

Thank God for Groupon, otherwise hubby and I would have never happened upon this awesome seafood carry out. We picked up dinner for the family last night and as soon as we walked in we were warmly greeted by Britney. The stuffed shrimp were phenomenal, actually the best I've ever had. Neither my sister or myself couldn't get over all the jumbo lumps of crabmeat and the imperial sauce was perfection and for $13.99 you can't go wrong. Hubby ordered the seafood quesadilla which he clearly enjoyed because by the time I got around to asking him for a bite it was gone. My mom loved the crab fluff, lots of lumps of crabmeat with no filler, ensconced in a perfectly fried "shell". The cream of crab had lots of crab meat and just the right amount of seasoning without overwhelming the rich cream base and the crab balls were a perfect starter for the meal. For sides I got the Sweet Tater Puffs, dipping them in a honey mustard sauce I had at home, first time I've ever tried them but it definitely won't be the last and the broccoli was steamed and tender. I had hoped to try the steamed corn but clearly that's a big hit because they ran out but that's okay, we already planned on going back. As we were waiting for our order several people left with boxes, overflowing with crabs that smelled heavenly so we'll be trying those on our next visit. Even my sister who is a self proclaimed foodie was impressed, she actually sent me a text an hour after dinner thanking me for finding this awesome restaurant. Lots of great daily specials that are some of the best deals I've ever seen and contrary to the review I saw complaining about the service, our order was taken quickly and the time we had to wait for our orders to be prepared was not long at all, perhaps the person complaining didn't take into consideration that every meal is cooked to order, if waiting for their meal was an inconvenience perhaps they should hit Long John Silvers in the future.

Solid three. Came here with a Groupon which made for a very good deal. The food was reasonably priced to begin with. The food they offer is pretty good if you're getting something standard. Decent fried shrimp, crab dip, crab soup, and fried zucchini. Not rock my world delicious but quick and good. I wouldn't recommend more exotic options like the sweet Thai chili shrimp lettuce wraps. It wasn't good at all. Shrimp awkwardly tossed on romaine and drenched in an overly sweet sauce. It was bad. The staff is efficient and friendly which is always valued by me.

As far as steamed crabs go, this is the best place in Baltimore county to get them. They come in fresh off of the boat, and are steamed perfectly. The seasoning they use is perfectly balanced. If you love steamed crabs, this is the place to go. This is a carry out only location, so plan on grabbing a cold brew and cracking them on your deck when you get home!

Been a fan of Vince's since inception. Call ahead to check out their daily specials... I like the dozen crabs, pound of shrimp & 4 ears of corn special on Tuesdays. I heard their cold crabs are pretty good too. Oh year- the crab imperial is awesome- they come in little shells you can take home and bake yourself for a special date night ;)
