    After visiting 3 times now and getting great food and pleasant service each time, I had to leave a review!! They always have a variety of blue crab sizes and I never have to wait long. I'll definitely be back.

    Hands down the best seafood salad I’ve ever purchased in this city!! Good crabs too. The house seasoning for the crabs is amazing. I’m hooked.

    I am a happy frequent customer here. I get the same thing every time - 6 blue crabs sauteed naked, with mild seasoning and butter on the side. It's always tasty!! But my last serving was EXCEPTIONAL because they were extra juicy and the juice they were cooked in was seasoned to perfection!! When the crabs are sauteed, it's hard to retain the juice ( since they open & clean the crabs for you). However, it happened this time, and the flavor of the juice took me back to my childhood and created such a moment that I called to compliment the chef the next day and wrote this review a week later!!

    First time trying this establishment. This was the perfect Father’s Day gift .. I was greeted by the manger/owner at the door and it felt like home soon as I walked in. Very welcoming. The crabs were some of the best crabs I ever had!!!! 10 out 10. FRESH FRESH CRABS!!! So clean and juicy. I had a dozen of sauteed crabs and a pound of crab legs. Everything was amazing. I would highly recommend this establishment!!! Monks just gained a new customer. I’ll be back soon!!
