The AYCE seafood buffet stands out as a top attraction, particularly praised for its hot, delicious crab legs. Diners appreciate the chance to fill their plates high for a reasonable price, typically around $29.99, making it a fantastic value for seafood lovers.
The expansive soup and salad bar with over 50 items garners rave reviews as well, with fresh items that create a feast suitable for any palate. Guests enjoy the prime rib and unique sandwiches, like the crab cake sandwich and BBQ bacon burger, consistently recognized for their taste and generous portions.

Most Disliked
Some guests have noted inconsistencies in the seafood quality, particularly during the AYCE buffet. Complaints have arisen regarding the steaming and flavor of the crab, with some feeling the quality doesn't meet their expectations as crab enthusiasts.
While the atmosphere is often commended, a few patrons have remarked on missed opportunities in advertising the buffet, suggesting that more visibility could increase awareness and reduce the number of empty tables during prime hours.
Additionally, a handful of diners have expressed a desire for more robust flavors in some dishes, particularly the crab soup, which was described as lacking the intensity they hoped for. However, these critiques tend to be in the minority, overshadowed by the restaurant's strengths.

Quality is excellent here. They do a great job. I was surprised with the pizza being as good as it was at a "non-pizza place" the bottom was nice and crisp, just as it should be. I also recommend the chesapeake burger. You can almost pick anything on the menu- it's surprising how well they can cook things properly, consistently. They must have strict recipe rules

I give the restraunt an overall 5. I am from the bay and I eat crabs alot, we went here for the AYCE and was very displeased at the quality of steaming, flavor and size. I dont think I cracked a medium the entire time. Now I still give them a 5 because I know I am picky but ill share photos so you can judge. Service was great, price is amazing, and atmosphere is perfect for singles, or families. Crab soup was tomato soup with some crab meat in it and no Crab flavor. This place could benefit from better advertising also, AYCE had many empty tables which is very shocking. Try them, for the price of 29.99 for ayce, cant hurt.

First time in the establishment and I cannot recommend this place so much! The food alone was way more than expected portion wise and you definitely get your money’s worth and the staff is great!

Soup and salad bar was really good. The chicken vegetable soup was really good as well. It seems like it’s hard to find a salad bar anymore. The crab pretzel was awesome! Along with the crab cake sandwich. It wasn’t crowded for a Saturday afternoon. They had some great lunch specials until 2 I believe!

Tried their new Mexican night today. It was very good...chicken, beef, shrimp, taco shells soft and hard, lime cilantro rice, queso, black beans, refried beans, enchilada. They made us a cheese shrimp quesadilla. All you can eat at a reasonable price 15.99....$2 Margarita

We had all you can eat AYCE seafood 😋 it was wonderful! I know the crab legs are the hit of the show, but the Brussels sprouts with bacon were very good along with the other sides.
