Stevensville Crab Shack

Finally made the stop. With so many great choices on the Island of Kent, it took me a while to finally try this gem. It’s a unique establishment located next to the airfield of the Bay Bridge Airport. It features a homey quality and friendly staff, outside tables are perfect for the fair weather days and a sizable menu with local favorites.

Little Mom & Pop type shop with decent seafood. Only has outdoor seating (picnic tables) a few are covered by umbrellas or trees. If you aren't a fan of dogs, beware! Most of the folks with dogs didn't pay attention to them or keep them on short lines. We left our 2 home, so we didn't bother other diners. The man at the counter - assuming he is one of the owners - could have been a little more helpful for someone coming 1st time. We did say we were here for the first-time and not much of a response 🤷‍♀️ Got the shrimp salad sandwich, Steamed Shrimp platter (2 sides come with and I got vegetable crab soup which was super spicy and cucumber onion in sweet vinegar), we both got medium drinks and it was under $32 for both meals. I'd come back again!!!

One of the best restaurants for lunch on Kent Island. The crab shack has easily become one of my go to spots for seafood. The fish and shrimp always taste very fresh along with many options for sides. The service is always welcoming and happy to serve us.

The food was sooooo good! Like seriously delicious! If I hadn't been full, I'd have turned around to get more! We're always going to stop here coming to and going from the Eastern Shore!

I hadn't eaten here in a couple of years until tonight and OMG...it was so good!!!! Better than I ever remember it being! I had the crab cake, sautéed scallops, cucumber onion salad and deviled eggs. Delicious!! ANNDDD OMG I just learned they sell light crabs!!! I thought I was the only one who actually like light crabs!!! I'm so excited! 🥰🥰 Can't wait to go back. Tomorrow :0)

My wife is from GA and had never had fresh crab before. She had some crab legs in FL on vacation a few years ago, but being from the DC area, I needed her to experience what it’s like to have crab right out of the bay. We planned a trip to DMV for her birthday, and this is one of the places that popped up on our radar. We got a half dozen large crabs and a crab cake meal with potato salad, deviled eggs, and hush puppies. I think we spent around $85 after tip, but we ended up with way more food than we really needed (our fault). She really wanted to eat on the water, and while there’s no waterside seating here, there’s a public beach with some benches around 7 minutes away. The lady working the counter was kind enough to show my wife how to open and clean the crabs, and even lent us a few hammers on the condition that we brought them back. The food was incredible. No flash. No tricks. Just super solid, perfectly executed chesapeake staples. Thanks for helping make her birthday trip special - We will be back!

It was a Friday evening and I simply didn’t feel like fighting the traffic to go to the Narrows so I looked up someplace that would have a soft crab platter. The Stevensville crab shack popped up, so I called in an order. Absolutely stellar! Soft, crab, perfect coleslaw, and enough rockfish tenders to feed my entire family! I strongly recommend this fabulously local and delicious eatery !

Really delicious! We had crab cake with macaroni salad and the crab soup, and fried rockfish with potato salad and cucumber salad. Quick service, reasonable prices, and generous portions.
