This has become our favorite place to go enjoy crabs. Ordered a dozen mediums and they threw in 4 more. They steam them when you order, so the crabs are always served hot. Have gone here 3 times this summer and the crabs were always full and very tasty. Have not gotten a bad one or an empty one yet. Had to knock off a star due to one visit when we had an awkward server who came to our table way too often and then said the exact same thing every time. It was ... strange. Despite that, we really like this place and plan to return regularly.

It was a little hard to find, mostly because the signage wasn't very clear or obvious. Once inside, there was further confusion, because the takeout counter service portion of the restaurant was separated from the dining room by a closed door. So we thought this was takeout only. Finally, once we were seated, we ordered a dozen of large crabs to split, a mountain of fried seafoods, and the crab chowder that did not disappoint. In fact, I think the crab chowder was the standout of the meal. With that said, the crabs were not bad either. Very fresh, large, and meaty. They even threw in a few extra ones for us as well. Atmosphere could have been better - I felt like i was at a school cafeteria - but I'd still recommend this place, especially if you live in the area.

Visited last night with Mrs. P and was disappointed. We had two soft drinks, a cup of chowder, and two platters (captains catch and 1/2 crab cake, 1/2 shrimp). While the $45 total isn't terribly unrealistic for seafood for two, the serving size and quality didn't quite match up. The seafood chowder was good and worth getting. The crab cakes, which were fried rather than broiled, were significantly smaller and of far less quality than a number of other central Maryland places such as G&M, etc. (less crab, more filler). The fried shrimp were fine as were the clams. The fried oysters weren't fresh. Overall, quality and quantity really need to improve for the cost. Would've been an a three star (just 'meh') but only for the bill.

Mostly serves fried seafood (some broiled options) and crabs ($1.50 each today). We tried the catfish fingers platter and crab cake sliders. Catfish was alright with a lemon pepper breading - still bland in flavor. Onion rings were decent. Crab cake sliders were more Old Bay and less crab flavor . Buns overtook the crab cake sliders - ended up leaving half of them behind.

We went with friends tonight to Captain Dan's for crabs and shrimp. We were very pleased with the size and quality of the crabs. They charged us $100 for a dozen jumbo but gave us 14. The crabs were hot, heavy and very tasty. We will be returning.

Great little place tucked away in Eldersburg far from all the hustle and bustle of the city. Good quality crabs are hard to come by these days. Captain Dan's delivered high quality crabs that tasted great and were good sized. Prices are about what you'd expect to pay for crabs anywhere.. very reasonable. The rest of the menu is limited and I wouldn't come here for dinner unless I was planning on getting crabs. Would rate 5 stars, but I have to give 4 because our waitress was TERRIBLE. But, I can't penalize Capt's too much for that. I'll just make sure to avoid getting our lazy, lazy waitress next time I go back.

I hate to knock a crabhouse based on quality of crab, because there's a big part of me that feels like crabs are, well...a crab-shoot. Maybe I'm just woefully undereducated about the art of crab catching, but doesn't a haul kind of just depend on luck of the draw (someone with better knowledge about this is quite welcome to drop it on me)? Case in point: the three dozen blues from Captain Dan's that we picked for hours in FIL's backyard on Memorial Day. Some were sweet and juicy and succulent with lots of delicious body and claw meat; some were fine; a couple were near-hollow with pasty, fishy meat. Captain Dan's fault? I dunno. The seasoning was good, tho, so maybe that's improved since Linn G. wrote her review over a year ago. These bad boys were literally encrusted with rock salt and Old Bay. And the steamed shrimp we also ordered were perfectly opaque and tender with just the right amount of special-blend seasoning as well. Prices seem reasonable here, too. Monday through Thursday crabs are $1.50 apiece (not sure which size, however; I'd assume the smalls). Other days crabs range from $2 - 6, depending on size. And Dan's will ship just about anywhere in the country in case you'd like to gift friends and relations with a taste of our beloved Chesapeake. Like our friend who learned the hard way never to order crab cakes in Ohio.

Just okay. There were 2 servers working the dining room who looked to be 16-18, either way, our server was timid and it detracted from the experience. For those who don't know, you have to walk past the main counter through a door to get to the dining room, kind of awkward. The dining room has a great wall painting of the Maryland shore and there were shelves lining the top of the walls holding different cans of of what I presume to be the types of seafood they use in the restaurant. The highlight, while not spectacular, was the food, although, I had a salad as one of my sides and the saucer they gave me the dressing in was almost as big as my salad...lame. Bottom line: Good food and atmpsphere, a little pricey, below average service.

We order take out from here all the time. Crabs are usually good, seasoned and cooked properly. The crab dip here is awesome. We have made it a staple to take with us to cookouts or just hanging with friends. We always get the crab bowls, fresh baked bread filled with crab dip. I look forward to trying even more of the menu here.

I would have to say this is a real Crabhouse without the knowledge of what a real Crabhouse should be. However, I imagine the main classification scheme of such an establishment is based on Crabs - quality, quantity, and price. A+ for all three. We had a dozen large crabs and they gave us 6 more for a little extra. We added crab cakes and wings as an appetizer. The kids were happy, Back Fin Pale Ale flowed and the adults were happy, and the crabs were just awesome. A highlight of my trip. And I got out the door with reasonable monetary damages. The restaurant itself is nothing special, but it has a fish deli in the front so you can do it up at your own leisure at home if not at Dan's. Visit Dan's. Visit Dan's Now.

The crabs are fair, not seasoned very well. Old bay is the staple of Maryland esp when crabs are involved and these crabs are ok.... I do appreciate the deal in the summer months...$1 crabs a few days outta the week is a steal. I will be back but not as great as many other places Ive been

I recently ordered a 1/2 bushel of steamed crabs for a weekend get-together. The price was fairly decent ($119) and the crabs were delicious! Captain Dan's is much better than another local crab place we've tried in the past. Good crabs, fast, friendly service. I will definitely be going back soon!
