Crabby Pig - Cumberland

My family and I recently dined at the Crabby Pig in Cumberland Maryland. The restaurant is located in beautiful downtown Cumberland, and has an ideal location! It is located right near the railroad and the canal. It has abundant outdoor seating. Wewere hoping to sit outside but it was raining over the weekend. The inside of the restaurant was spacious and accommodating. Weordered a variety of things. I ordered the crab soup which was very good. There was a fair amount of real crab meat in it. Ithad a good flavor and was very hearty. My children ordered the shrimp and grilled cheese. They thought everything was delicious.My wife ordered the chicken Chesapeake and said it was very good also. I ordered a captain's platter which included two sideswhich consisted of a baked potato and baked beans. The entrees included broiled fish, scallops, shrimp, and a crab cake. Theshrimp was a bit skimpy and the crab cake did not have a very good flavor to it. For being a broiled crab cake it had zerocrust. It was extremely mushy and almost sour/bitter. The restaurant was not particularly busy the day we were there but thestaff was not involved at our table. We went long periods of times without getting refills. While they were far from rude theywere also very disconnected from our table. The only other word of caution is the price. It is a bit steep for the amount offood you get. The price did not balance out with the quantity nor quality. Would most definitely try this place again in thefuture though.

Update 5/1/22: another excellent meal in a laid back atmosphere! The patio is by the water and a playground which is clutch for folks with young kids. Husb loved the chicken with crab on top and kiddo enjoyed the hot dog. Wait staff is super attentivetoo! Delicious crab cakes, my hubs liked the lunch steak a lot, and the kids chicken tenders were good too. Nice patio andlocated by the locks but also a bit noisy near a freeway overpass.

Nice local resturant. We had to wait about 20 minutes; but not too bad for a Friday night. The waitress were doing a great job. The food was excellent and priced well. We had mussels, salad, chicken fettuccine, and all you can eat fried frish. Highlyrecommend. A lot of good choices it was hard to decied.

Was visiting my Mom in Cumberland from San Diego. Ate one night, food was so good we came back the next day. Service was excellent. Sever was super friendly. Blue crabs were super tasty. Will definitely be back next time we visit. Thank you CrabbyPig!
