This father and daughter trio are amazing. The fresh donuts are great while you sit and wait for your crabs. The owner is polite and friendly, the prices are amazing as well. Crabs are sweet juicy and let me not forget HEAVY. With my half of bushel I received some steamed corn as well. Drive all the way from Philadelphia and we will definitely be back soon.

We're so glad we found this spot! Honestly, I've never eaten this many crabs in my life. Super fresh, delicious, and the prices are really fair. We took the crabs home and the owner was incredibly kind--he even threw in some corn and paper to cover the table. If you're craving crabs, this is the place to go.

"We're going to need a bigger box". My first time here as a resident of Rising Sun and I'm upset at myself that I hadn't uncovered this gem earlier! A Family run business doing everything right. The owner was so friendly and brightened my day to talk to him. The donuts are huge, fresh, perfectly filled and there was a great variety to choose from. The apple fritters are delicious, with a great flavor balance, and have a wonderful crispness to them that only comes from fresh fritters. I was also lucky to have been able to try the pepperoni pretzel wrap and it was heavenly! The cheese was delicious, with that incredible fresh mozzarella cheese "pull", the pepperoni was the perfect quantity and the pretzel wrap was delicious with zero sogginess going on. Absolutely divine, if you haven't been to the classic Crabs Out Back in Rising Sun, I highly recommend you do!

The staff was awesome. I feel like they gave me a very full if not more than a bushel.The pricing was absolutely fantastic.( Best around) I looked. Number 1's were absolutely all number 1's and more then a few jumbos. They Had that sweet Maryland crab taste. I was also pleasantly surprised about the dozen sweet corn added to my order. I will definitely be getting the rest of my crabs there this summer. If you haven't tried it them Don't hesitate.

Got a half bushel for my birthday and they were soo good! Very full and flavorful for beginning of the season. The Shrimp and crabs are great as well! The corn was steamed perfectly and so sweet! So good it didn't need butter! Also while we waited for our crabs and shrimp to be done we tried a homemade Steak and cheese pretzel roll. It was amazing. So flavorful and delicious. They make them in house and are so good! The owner was so nice and enjoyed a great conversation! Had some of the freshly made donuts for dessert after dinner and oh my!!!! We will be back for more! That caramel apple filled donut was AMAZING!
