The pros: The crabs are fantastic...good sizes, cooked right. Many of the other food items are great as well such as the crabcakes, Maryland crab soup, calamari, and more. You really can't go wrong with the food here at Mike's. The atmosphere is very casual and laid back. About what you'd expect for a crab house. The views on the South River aren't too bad either.

The cons: Service is so-so. A lot of their serving staff seems to be on the younger, less experienced side so there's room for improvement there. I don't think we've had the same server twice in all the times we've been here...our visits to Mike's aren't terribly frequent - maybe once every other month - and I've never really noticed the same serving staff on duty from one visit to the next. And if you're trying to come here on a weekend during the summer months, you can count on a rather long wait not only to get a table but even just to get a parking space! Definitely plan ahead if you're determined to come to Mike's Crab House on a summer Saturday afternoon.
