Honestly, I'm in love with this place! For $40, you can get two dozen regular-sized crabs that are fully packed. It's cheaper than the wharf, and I was impressed by how full the crabs were. They have a nice spice that really lingers in your mouth after a few bites, which I personally enjoy—I'm a fan of this seasoning. My only complaint is the wait time; it can be quite long, so I recommend calling in your order if you want to avoid waiting 30 minutes to an hour. However, when the crabs do arrive, they come out steaming hot and fresh. The crab sauce is delicious, and the half-and-half is great too. I would visit here all the time if my fiancé loved it as much as I do!
Let’s be honest; they’re not the best crab spot in the DMV. However, I decided to order large female crabs because I figured if the crab was good, then the rest would be too. They were a bit pricey, but they were meaty and not cooked in anything too bland, so they could be enjoyed without dipping sauce, which was still acceptable. I also ordered a pound of spiced shrimp, and they turned out to be surprisingly delicious, especially with their excellent cocktail sauce! While I wouldn’t make this place a regular stop, it's definitely worth a visit.
At first glance, this restaurant might not seem like a seafood destination or a place you’d want to eat at, but the crabs are surprisingly meaty and reasonably priced. It’s a well-known spot, especially famous for their buy-one-get-one-free crab deal. For instance, you can purchase a dozen crabs and receive another dozen at no extra cost. Don’t be deceived by the exterior; the food is worth a try!
I will say that the regulars I got from the Continental were smaller than I usually prefer, but they were incredibly delicious. Plus, they actually gave me two dozen for the price of one, so now I have crabs for days and even had to freeze some! Overall, it's a good backup spot, but the Crab Line is definitely my favorite place!

At first glance, the exterior may not seem impressive, but remember that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. This place has some of the best crabs, crab legs, and shrimp in the area. The prices and wait are always worth it!
The health department shut them down, and the chicken you all ate was actually rat. Sorry to break the news! But hey, look on the bright side: they’re from Sri Lanka, so they probably know how to cook it well. Lol!
Great atmosphere and very attentive service. The dishes were fresh and delicious. I’ll definitely suggest this place to everyone. The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. Keep up the good work!
The food is outstanding, the staff is extremely friendly, and the atmosphere is always delightful. They provide good value for money, and the quality of the dishes is remarkable. Keep up the fantastic work!

What happened to Continental? They've been closed for quite some time now— is this permanent? Who will take over their crab supply? I really need to know because I want some crabs!
The crab is always cooked to perfection and is incredibly tender. I truly love it!
