Once again an excellent experience at Conrad's seafood restaurant. Visited Conrad's on Saturday night for crabs. The host stated it was a 25-30 minute wait for a seat of four people; however we were seated within 4 or 5 minutes after working to the door. I waited Brittany (Britt) was awesome. She ran down everything we needed to know we're going to the food menu or any specials that were taking place. She was friendly and engaging conversation with me and my family. We ended up ordering two dozen of medium crabs which were heavy. We also ordered the hush puppies and the rockfish bites which are delicious, and some deviled eggs. You might want to consider booking a reservation as it does get crowded.

Great spot for Maryland crabs! Service amazing - Alex our server made sure to explain how to eat the crabs like a real local (we’re visiting from NYC). Great drinks too. Can not recommend highly enough.
