On the banks of the Potomac River, just a few miles west of the Chesapeake Bay, sits the iconic Captain Billy's restaurant. More like a bonifide crabhouse, selling steamed blue crabs, king crab legs, perfect hush puppies, crabcakes, along with an assortment of beverages and cocktails to wash em down. The views from the outdoor seating are awesome, the staff are competent and lovely, and it all boils down to a very pleasant experience,. ...one which we travel from Richmond to Maryland once or twice a year, many years running now. It's one of our favorite spots, ... not fancy at all, but satisfying in a very special kind of way. Authentic and satisfying on many levels.
