JC Crab House

Very good customer service. Yao was our server. We ordered snow crab legs and they were the juiciest tasting crab legs I've ever had. Fried jumbo shrimp and scallops are also so good.Decor is very nautical cute in the dining area. This place is pricey but does not cut on quality. I was very satisfied I chose this as it was recommended by a friend all the way in Rockville. I will come back to get large blue crabs as that was the recommendation from friends. Cannot wait to try! I will be back.

I am giving 5 Stars for the quality of the Steamed Male Crabs that are tasty and excellent! The Fried Croaker and French Fries are very good also. The tartar sauce is home made. I don't recommend the Fried Whiting which has a strange breading/coating. The Cole Slaw needs help, not tasty. The Fried Jumbo Shrimp is fresh and has good flavor, but the batter is thick and overwhelming. I dislike that AMEX is not accepted. We know that AMEX costs more to operate, but why are you so inflexible to make that extra cost a priority over customer satisfaction?

Giving this 5 stars. We had the crab combo B (1 doz large blue crabs, 2 king crab clusters, 1lb steamed shrimp) plus a bucket of 5 beers (+2 extra bees) plus hush puppies. Everything was awesome. The blue crabs were heavy and sweet, hush puppies were yummy. A++. Just what we wanted on Labor Day weekend here in MoCo when we're not at the beach. One comment .... Usually at crab snacks they give butter and/or vinegar on request. Here they do... but $5 for melted butter and $2 for vinegar. My advice to the shop is this.... Charging for vinegar and butter at a crab shack in MD is culturally unusual when dining in the restaurant and may put off some customers. I'd say just add $0.50 to each order of crabs and include the condiments, and you don't need to give quite so much quantity. In any event we will be back. FYI. I read some of the few negative comments here and they are somewhat bizarre. One guy complains that $80 is too much for 1doz crabs ... he expected to get 18 for that price (what????)Others sound like they just don't really get the crab thing.

Crabs and seafood is fine for the area. Only place you can eat year round. Wish you could have a traditional crawfish boil. Medium crabs are more like small. I get you measure point to point but when the points are long and skinny, and the body is maybe 3 oz.... Math don't math

This is one of the better crab spots in the Silver Spring area. They have a large area where you can eat your crabs there or you can take them to go.They also have a menu of other items on the menu, like shrimp platters, hush puppies, fried oysters etc. But I have not tried them. Their crabs are pretty good, it's rare that I will have a bad crab. Naturally crabs can be on the pricey side but this place doesn't take advantage. Their customer service is always great, no complaints there.

Was in the area and saw good reviews for this place. Definitely exceeded our expectations, we've eaten at a lot of seafood boil places before. We got: - Steamed crabs with old bay - Crab sauce which has like ten different ingredients (this is a separate charge but they give you the container to take home as well)- crawfish - Fries- onion rings The Fries came out first and I have to say it was perfectly cooked. Someone knows how to deep fry back there (not dripping oil and perfect crisp. We had to order the onion ring since the fries were done so well. Crabs were tasty. Service was great, our discard container was changed out 3 times.

Diner beware! Stopped in for lunch. The place is cute, but NOBODY was there. Now we know why. Had two lunch sandwiches, hush puppies, and sodas. The total was $63 - which is insane for what we got, but it's not the worst part! I went to add the tip (she checked on us one time and didn't even bother to come to the table to do it), they had added 18% tip! I usually give 20%, but if it's not that great, I may give 15%, which is what I was planning on doing. She explained "it's on the sign" when I challenged her. I understand if there's a party of 6+, but we were TWO people. Absolutely awful policy, and the crab cake sandwich was not good. Avoid.

Horrible customer service and very overpriced. Seafood in the Buff is better. Not sure how this place is still in business.

Yummy steamed crabs & shrimp! If you can't do it at home with live crabs, let JC do it for you

A very disappointing lunch experience. We wanted to switch out fried shrimp for grilled. No, can't do that. The crab cake tasted old and fishy. The clam strips were basically fried dough without clams.The homemade lemonade was made with a mix.In the end we left most of the meal and left hungry.
