Best Steamed Crabs in Baltimore?
As a local, I'm attaching a link for you to access to the "best" crabhouses in Baltimore, since there are a LOT of good crabs in Baltimore. Hope it helps. And if you really like crabs, have some crabcakes and buy some Old Bay to take home with you. Then you can keep the good taste of Balto. with you all the time!
Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'
Rotini with sliced mushrooms and onions, lightly sauteed in olive oil, mixed with parmesan and a blend of other Italian cheeses, ground black pepper and pesto. My family loves it, and it's so easy to make. When I have it, I throw some sausage in there too, summer sausage actually works great.

Five Guys. Not so much.
I've been to 5 Guys in PA and MD, and I wasn't overly impressed. Better than fast food ANY DAY, but I don't like the fries either. I did find one place in MD that serves the best burgers and condiments I've ever had, Burger Bros. in Towson, MD. Their baconcheeseburger is big, very juicy, and perfectly cooked. I top mine with mayo, sauteed mushrooms, raw onions and feta cheese, and it's to die for! They also have chicken sandwiches, onion rings, salads, and a nice selection of sodas. Next time you're in Baltimore, look them up. It's worth the trip.

Maggie, u could always order delivery crab from Maryland. There are several firms that deliver nationwide.
A New Look at Old Bay with Classic Shrimp Scampi
Yes, I'm from MD, and Old Bay is the best! I use it in our omelets, on our fries, on corn on the cob, in chicken divan...and of course, in any type of seafood. Our crabcakes are the best because of the Old Bay. I wouldn't eat one anywhere else anymore because that's the missing ingredient.
Five Guys. Not so much.
Try, try again. I have found Five Guys to be consistently excellent.
Five Guys. Not so much.
Pittsburgh: 5 Guys burgers are good but hot fries are incredible. Don't attempt to take them home. They don't travel well. Anymore,after reading NYTimes article, I'm trying to avoid beef. Home beef, maybe Cosco..
Five Guys. Not so much.
If you want a consistent, well-made burger that satisfies on every level, I've found that "Islands" is a great chain. The fries are twice-fried (and endless...just keep asking for more) and the quality is superb. I've never tried 5 Guys...are there any in LA? I thought I knew every burger purveyor in Southern California!!!
Five Guys. Not so much.
We've eaten in 5 Guys in Raleigh NC a few times - the experience was pretty good but after reading the article about ground meat in the NY Times I will never eat hamburger again unless it is made from meat that I have ground at home.

I'm the Baltimore Sun restaurant critic who made up the list that warmfood linked to. (Thanks, warmfood!) I want to add that if you're around on a Tuesday, Ryleigh's Oyster Bar in Federal Hill has $2 steamed crabs. You'll see that's a deal when you find out what they regularly cost.

Cantler's in Annoplis is the best EVER

Hey, Raiders757: Baltimore has enough trouble, lay off our claim to Steamed Crabs. When ya'll Virginians invent something as tasty as Old Bay (yeah, I know, it's not technically made *in* Baltimore..) then you can challenge us. (I say, in a lighthearted tone not meaning any actual offense.)
Best Steamed Crabs in Baltimore?
No offense meant towards the OP. Just an observation.
It's funny how everyone forgets that Baltimore is only a small part of "The Bay", and equates it as the best place on "The Bay:" for crabs and such. In reality, Virginia is where it's at for bay seafood. Not that Baltimore isn't great for it as well, but I just think it's rather sad that the rest of the shoreline doesn't get it's due credit, as Baltimore is far from having the best that can be found along it's shores.
Best Steamed Crabs in Baltimore?
Cantler's in Naptown is the only way to go. I know its not B'more but you really cant beat Cantlers.
Best Steamed Crabs in Baltimore?
I agree with L.P. Steamers. Especially the rooftop deck when the weather is nice.
Best Steamed Crabs in Baltimore?
my go-to spot is L.P. Steamers in Locust Point. No need to look at a menu, just ask what size crabs they have (the price will vary), order a dozen that fits your budget; and a pitcher of beer. done. if you feel fancy, start off with some oysters on the half shell.

If you need confirmation of my crab knowledge and adoration, check out this post where I entered a pie contest (Martha Stewart as judge) and made MD CRAB SOUP POT PIE...mmmmmmmm
Best Steamed Crabs in Baltimore?
Cantler's in Annapolis is a long-time favorite.
For right in Baltimore, I'd vote for Gunning's: old-fashioned, delicious, and fun...
Definitely avoid Obrycki's - touristy and sub-par.

My Vote is for Cantler's in Annapolis!!!
