Here's a sample of the Awesome that is Gaffney's. Two thumbs up.

The crabs were a hit.Before driving to my family in-laws, we picked up some crabs at Gaffney's. The staff was super nice when helping us pick choice the best options - we ended up with a 1/2 bushel of medium to large size. Not only that, but they were able to steam and season just before their closing time.The price was good. The service was good. The crabs were good. That's all you can really ask for.

All I can really say is fantastic, my daughter went to Maryland and it was a must she bring me back crabs. They found this spot and I am amazed they were bigger than I expected and fully loaded, I will take my own road trip for these.

I've never tried Gaffney's Back Fin, nor have I heard of them but thank you Yelp - yet again! I stopped in on a Thursday evening around 7:50. They were running a special $30 for a dozen of medium male crabs. That's perfect because that's exactly what I came to get. As others have mentioned I would recommend calling ahead because the crabs are steamed to order. When I got there around 7:50 the really nice lady behind the counter told me they were getting ready to shut down a little earlier because business was slow that day. She told me it'll take about 15-20 minutes for my crabs and was kind enough to throw a few extra in for the wait. I didn't mind the wait at all anyway. While waiting I walked across the street to grab some Peruvian style chicken.The minute I picked up my crabs I noticed how heavy the bag was. Score! I couldn't wait to get home. Pulling them out the bag I noticed they didn't look at big as I imagined from the weight of the bag BUT once I pulled one leg off and got a load of a chunk of meat I was in HEAVEN! They were some of the meatiest, juiciest and tastiest crabs I've had God knows how long. My mom agreed. Graffney's Back Fin has 2 new loyal fans for life.

As a faithful customer, today's customer service was very unprofessional. The cashiers (children) were very rude. I've never experienced the disorganization that took place today. Called my order in, for a 5:15pm pick up, arrived and because the wait was unreal, I cancelled my order at 5:50pm. There was a lack of communication between staff and the many customers waiting in the lobby for their order. The owners should consider employees who can better handle the front line of their business which is greeting customers, being professional and always remembering the customers is always right; even when they are wrong. I hope for a better experience than what I had today.Scott

Finally decided to give Gaffney's a try the other day after only hearing great things. Half a bushel of male crabs were steamed and ready about 45 mins after ordering, and the price was very fair. Staff members were courteous, professional and friendly. They provided paper free of charge, so need to worry about getting newspapers! The crabs -- absolutely the best I have had in years. Though they were an order of smalls, they were heavy and filled with meat. Texture of the meat was perfect and bursting with flavor. I highly recommend Gaffney's. 5 stars, all around!

Recently discovered Gaffney's and I'm sad that I didn't know about this place earlier! It's sometimes a bit hard to place an order (phone line is super busy because of its popularity), but the crabs are great. I particularly love their $1 picking crab special on Wednesday....so delicious!

This was the first time I have ordered steamed crabs. We got a bushel ($200) for a party of approximately 20 people, and ate them on my rooftop deck.I called the order in the day before and they noted the pick-up time. Customer service was excellent, and they mentioned several deals that were going on. The order was on-time and ready when we arrived, packed in a water-resistant box, steaming hot. They provided a few mallets for us when we asked.The crabs were exceptional--large males, meaty, expertly spiced. I had feedback from the guests of the party about the crabs, and it was universally positive. Praise came from life-long Maryland folks well-versed in crabs, as well as from people who were trying them for the first time.Lastly, I have not ordered crabs from other places in town, so I don't know how they compare. However, I would recommend Gaffney's without hesitation!

I order a bushel in a half of what was supposed to be large females for Mother's Day we eat a bushel almost and when we got good into the second box the crab were mushy so I called to notify the establishment about my issue it seemed to be a problem. I paid almost 400 dollars for this experience and I was very disappointed. fast forward to today i received a credit for what I thought was going to be large or medium crabs only to be giving smalls they will not get anymore over my busines. cause this is very disappointing

We called the day before and ordered XLs, which was all they had available. Upon pickup, we learned that they subbed in a few jumbos since they had some around, at no extra charge. They were the best crabs we've had all season-- good size, heavy, seasoned and prepared well-- even better than a feast at Quarterdeck in Arlington from earlier in the summer. Looking forward to our next visit. Thank you, Gaffney's!
