Ordered to go crabs yesterday for Memorial Day weekend. Prices were compatible to all other crab places. We ordered larges and they were fantastic. Watermen Chris gave us vinegar, paper, old bay, and knives to go which was awesome! Crabs were delicious! I would highly recommend!
The perfect place to feast on some crab. The owner (also our server) couldn’t have been nicer and was not only attentive but shared some fun knowledge of crabbing. Looking forward to going back!
Best food I've had on the shore outside of Chincoteague. This place is down home, no frills decor. Love that the walls are papered with kids coloring pages. Nicest folks you could ever meet. Love it!!
Can’t say enough good things about this place. Came down on a 4 day vacation and wanted the Delaware/Maryland crab experience and got it. Crabs were cooked perfectly and caught fresh that day. My fiance got crab cakes and corn bread that was great also. The owner was incredibly friendly and has a great story for his business. If you want great seafood in a feel good atmosphere, go here.
The owner Chris is the coolest man ever, real generous and nice guy. All food fresh and caught that day. Entertaining staff and all around down to earth, lowkey, good price place for crabs. Everyone needs at least one family trip here as soon as possible.
Rusty Jimmies is a gem in Fenwick! The crab cakes are huge and delicious. We also enjoyed all of the sides. Definitely order the cornbread and banana bread! They have an extensive menu and everything is super fresh! The soft crab special and the tacos were also great! Captain Chris is so nice and friendly. Definitely stop here if you are near Fenwick!
Fun place. Talking to owner Chris is interesting and he was our waiter. Takes time to talk if that's something you like to do . Food was very good. We got a big variety platter and shared it for the 2 of us Crabcake and Flounder was very good.
We had a great experience here with our large group. The crabs and all of the food was tasty. The staff was accomodating and really kind. I will definitely come back when I return to Fenwick Island.
