What People Are Saying About Bo Brooks Restaurant

The Scene – Once the quintessential Bawlmer crab house, this high-end restaurant's new home in the heart of Canton's urban renewal is a long way from its old Belair Road location. Despite the fancy digs and the upscale menu, steamed crabs are still king--as the brown paper on the tables and booths with vinyl seats attest. With stunning harbor views all year and outdoor dining in season, the time to go is just as sunset gives way to the city lights. – – The Food – Even in the off-season, steamed crabs are meaty, and the spicing doesn't overpower. While the velvety cream…

WORST DECISION EVER! WASTE OF MONEY!!
by c5394
Do not waste your time going to Bo Brooks! Planning a girls night out, I called at 11:30 am to see if they had crabs and if a reservation would be required. They said "oh yes, we always have crabs and no reservation required", it was Thursday. Upon arrival at 4:30 pm, the same day, we asked for outdoor seating. They sat us at a table next to 2 screaming kids and parents that obivously didn't care. We asked to move. They then seated us at a table that had a broken leg and got "upset" when we asked to move again. We placed our order, a round of drinks, which took 20 minutes to arrive, even after asking 3 times. We then ordered crabs and were told they didn't have them "yet", they were being sorted and it would take about an hour, then we could order "based on sizes they had after being sorted" and it would take an additional 30 minutes to cook. At 7:00, when we received our "JUMBO" dozen of crabs for $93, the shells were burned, the crabs barely looked legal in size. We each ate one and left. We did ask for the Manager, after 20 minutes he showed up and gave us some sort of appetizer "for free". It was horrible as well. So needless to say, I will never go back and have been telling EVERYONE I know as well that this place is not worth the time or money! Total bill, excluding the free appetizer, was $164.57. Of course we had some adult beverages, hence the additional cost. They went back at times as well because the beer was warm.
- Pros: VALIDATED PARKING!
- Cons: EVERYTHING BUT PARKING VALIDATION!

Best Crabs Around!
by blndeblu
I recently had the privilege of going to Bo Brooks Restaurant for Dinner. Being a true Marylander I wanted to have the best crabs around and had heard very good things about Bo Brooks. I am so glad that I went because I had an amazing time. The crabs were steaming hot and fresh with just enough spice to sting your lips. The service was amazing everyone was smiling and they all looked so happy to be working there. The half and half soup was to die for I have never tasted anything so delicious before. The menu was extremely diverse in selection and prices and it was money well spent because the crabs were huge! The view is spectacular too right on the water so we made sure to get a table outside. I am so excited to find out that they deliver crabs just about anywhere so my next party is going to be a crab feast for sure. And after hearing about their fabulous happy hour I am definitely going to go back with a group of friends. I can't say enough about this fantastic restaurant so make sure that you check it out!
