Obrycki's Crab House

The food is terrible!

by suntacat at Citysearch

I has been sent to Obrycki's on the advice of a friend of a friend. We were on our way to a concert and needed a restaurant near the venue. We didn't have time to deal with the hardshells, so we ordered other items from the menu. I had a crab cake (for a whopping $19) and my husband had a salad with steak on top. The crab cake was shockingly bland. It was like eating air. The accompanying vegetables were cold, and the soup was thick, lumpy, cold, and slimy. My husband's salad had bacon on it that had obviously been cooked hours earlier. It was cold and chewy. He said the steak strips were "ok". I feel really depressed we wasted so much money on such a horrible dinner. It was literally one of the top five worst dinners of my life. It seems like if you go for the hardshells only, it's fine, but don't even think about ordering anything else on the menu.

• Pros: none
• Cons: Flavorless, cold, bland, disgusting food

Dishonor Business

by Derrickl at Citysearch

we paid dine in by cash, and carry out by credit card

the waitress took the cash, and only one credit card charged invoice

but end up showing a total of $190 on my credit card

and they took our $170 cash

while we call back after credit card shown online

every single staff answer my call claimed they are the store owner, and clearly they are laying

• Pros: Crab is good
• Cons: Waitress stool the cash, then overcharged the credit cards

GREAT crabs!

by kodjo at Citysearch

Crabs were outstanding (cannot comment on anything else because we didn't eat anything else).

Personally, I like Obrycki's seasoning far better than the Old Bay that usually encrusts Baltimore crabs, so this was a wonderful find. There were six of us and zero complaints.

Service was great. Atmosphere good.

• Pros: Obrycki's pepper seasoning

Crabs were well worth the drive from "JERSEY "

My family and i recently dined at your restaurant and the atmosphere was great. area wasn't the greatest but took a taxi. i wanted to submit this. we had the crabs ,small, i would have liked the larger size but im sure its first come first serve. Our server was ERIC and he is most definitely a PROFESSIONAL. He didnt miss a thing and provided us with the best service that we had encountered in the restaurants we visited. we will be returning in the future. thank you so much for a wonderful and memorable experience.

• Pros: food was excellent
• Cons: not enough of the big guys

Avoid...

The service was HORRIBLE....it's pretty bad when we heard the waitress serving the table next to us apologizing to the customers for bad service. It wasn't busy either, 330 in the afternoon and maybe there were 4 tables in the entire place! The food was awful as well, my husbands crabs were cold and it took forever to get drinks to the table. The neighborhood is VERY sketchy and we were very nervous walking to it. Reccomendation to anyone thinking about this place other than don't go - TAKE A CAB!

• Pros: Large Dining Area
• Cons: Service, Food, Value, Neighborhood
