Mike's Crab House
Mike's Bar and Crab House has been serving seafood to the people of Maryland since 1958. Its friendly atmosphere and adherence to tradition has made the restaurant a household name. All of its tables are adorned with "old bay" seasoning to provide the seafood taste that has made the Chesapeake Bay famous. While known for the steamed crabs, that is not the only dish that keeps customers coming back. Mike's warm-water lobster tail stuffed with crab has also made heads turn. They have a fully stocked wine menu, and a waiter will be glad to suggest one should you be in doubt.
