Madonna Seafood Restaurant

This place was always our go to. It has gone down hill over the years. Just a shame.

This is supposedly the best place to get crabs in Harford County. It is an old little restaurant that has two sides, a dining room and a little fish market. They are located in a little shopping center with a parking lot. The dining area is a little small but a bunch of tables. The staff is friendly and attentive. Some meals come with a side salad which was nice, they had plenty of dressings to choose from. They serve soup of the day as well. They had little fried crab wontons my friend said was really good. They looked crispy and you know the meat is fresh. I had the shrimp scampi and it may have been one of my top 5 favorite shrimp scampis I have ever had. The shrimp was fresh and not over cooked. It was not chewy and it was easy to cut into. I am not usually crazy about angel hair pasta but the flavors with it made it so good. The garlic bread on the side was a great touch to this dish. I loved it. My boyfriend had a burger and really liked it, the fries were cooked just right. It was an enjoyable dinner!

As the saying goes, "when in Rome" and so we just had to try crabs while in Maryland. And we sure got the experience here! This is a small venue but was able to accommodate our large group of 9, including two kids. TWe were immediately seated and the table was draped in brown paper. I had never eaten at a seafood restaurant so I didn't know what to expect, and I was concerned about table manners. But I quickly learned that essentially goes out the door here. Seriously, everyone is there to dig in, literally, and just have a good time. The kids entertained themselves with the mallets while we feasted. We started with calamari and a dozen+ hard shell crabs for the table. A perfect way to pass the time as we waited for our main course. Speaking of, I had a fried crab cake with a side of fries and onion rings. I'd recommend ordering a side of butter for dipping the crab. Overall everything was good and glad I can finally check the MD crab experience off the food bucket list!

We love Madonnas Seafood! Hands down one of the best restaurants for All You Can Eat crabs. The staff is great, and the restaurant is super clean. They have a full menu with tons of choices and even sell pizza next door as part of their business. If they have the shrimp and asparagus soup, we highly recommended it!

Madonna has amazing food and a great selection There is something for everyone. We usually get Crabs on Sundays and they are the best ever and worth the 28 minute drive to get there.

I had the ayce crabs. They were very, very small. And I had a couple that were inedible. The service was the best, Sophia was a gem. And this wasn't my first rodeo there. But this trip will be the one I think about when deciding to come back again..

Greetings, Let me start off by saying that the service was excellent. Ashley M served our dinner and she was delightful, friendly, prompt and made a fresh pot of coffee for my enjoyment. We have always had good service at Madonna's and yesterday was no exception. Thank You Ashley M. We have been dining at Madonna's Seafood Restaurant for several years and have always had a tasty meal and good service. Yesterday was an exception. We dined late in the afternoon and had a late lunch. My wife had prime rib, which in the past has always been good. Yesterday's Prime Rib was overly salted and peppered plus it was chewy. A lower quality than usual. She had Brussels Sprouts as a side and they were overcooked and bitter. I had the mea tloaf which is usually very good and satisfying. Yesterday it was different. The flavor was strong but I am not sure if it was the gravy or the meat. I hope that Madonna's has not started using prepared Sysco food. We certainly plan on returning. These two meals may have just been an anomaly. It is a seafood restaurant so perhaps we should choose something from their variety of tasty seafood next time.Regards,Sam

They definitely cut down on the amount of steak on steak subs.and the fries are not eatable.i will stick with strapastas 10 minutes away.

Restaurant was very clean, hostess and waitress were very kind. Wait was only approximately 10 minutes even with them being very busy. The cream of crab soup was over spiced with Old Bay or what ever seasoning they use to the point it should have been called cream Old Bay. My wife had a chicken dinner which she said was good. I had the two Crab cakes which were a good size for the price. I had sides of macaroni and cheese and stewed tomatoes. Neither of which were hot more like warm at best. The Mac & cheese was over cooked(pasta soft) and flavor was rancid! wife tried it as well and did not like. I ate one crab cake of the two with the tartar sauce. It was gross tasting like blue cheese and maybe a hint of dill. At that point I was not feeling well! I was very surprised and a bit disappointed in the flavor of the food. I ate the remaining Crab Cake the next day and it was good ( with my own tarter.)

We have visited Madonna Seafood several times over the past three years and have never been disappointed with the meals nor the service. We have also purchased gift cards to give to our friends at Christmas. That changed Wednesday afternoon when we stopped by to get a quart of Cream of Crab Soup. When we arrived home we ate it and were greatly disappointed. There was virtually NO crab meat in it. We do not mind spending $19 for a quart of Cream of Crab Soup but please, add some crab meat to the broth. It was basically a salty broth. Disappointed.Sam
