We went to mike s last Friday night, and we usually love mike s, but our server hailey was absolutely horrible. Not only was she very rude and continued to roll her eyes as we ordered, but after she brought all of our food and forgot to put in my mom s order, she never came back. We are and talked for 40 minutes and did not see her once. We finally got up and ask another server to find her and when she came over 15 minutes later she said what did you all need . Clearly not a good career choice for her.

Crabs are well seasoned, drinks are good but it's takes waiters a long time to bring drinks to table. To save time go to the bar. You can sit on the water or inside. They also offer a salad buffet.

The food was decent!! Should've ordered the crabs...they smelled wonderful!! They serve adult drinks in kiddie cups. Cut it out!
We were told that the wait would be 20-25 minutes, then they sat two couples that just walked in with no wait!!! I questioned the staff about it. After blank stares from the hostess who blamed the manager, we were seated. Our waiter was cool and we met some nice people from LA!
I may give them another chance....maybe!! But I'm going early and keeping my eye open. Their beeper seating system need a little work!

The place is huge! There's a few different seating areas; most by the water. Definitely something for everyone here!
Great atmosphere, especially when it's nice outside. Wait staff were a little slow but the bar was keeping up!

Great food and service was ok for our large group. Prices are ridiculous! One dozen crabs should never cost over $100 - no matter what size they are! I don t plan to go back because I can get the same food at other restaurants for less.

Excellent place to eat and just mingle with the bartenders as well as with one of the owners Tony- we came here from Florida and we were treated like "family". We highly recommend this place! Oysters and shrimp were fantastic!!! Mike loved it too because well it's "Mike's; his name plus its right on the water.

Food is always great! We have been going here for years, we usually have an amazing experiance all the way down to the wait staff. but the server we had this time must have been new because she was pretty bad. she forgot things we asked for, took a long time bringing them after we asked a second time, and was not very knowledgeable about the menu.

The food was fantastic, my waiter couldn't have been sweeter, (Mary) every month I search out a new place to try. This one will be a regular. and the bartender is the bomb drinks where hitting, Enjoy!

The food was good WHEN IT FINALLY CAME. I ordered a draft, 1/2 dozen crabs for the Mr. & Littles and the appetizers of the buffalo shrimp and stuffed mushrooms for myself... It took about 15 minutes for the crabs to arrive and my buffalo shrimp came shortly thereafter. After the Mr.'s request, the waiter came back to drop some butter and I reminded him of my beer and after he brought that back, I settled in to wait for my second plate.. HOWEVER the mushrooms I ordered never came! I ended up having to flag down the waiter to ask about them only to be told THE KITCHEN WAS OUT.... After waiting at LEAST 45 minutes for a simple app that never came, I was FAMISHED and ordered the cod dinner while my family occupied themselves at the dock because at this point they were finished with the crabs. The waiter never offered anything other an a "sorry" in acknowledgement of the inconvenience because of his lack of communication and when I mentioned the situation to a manager standing nearby he didn't step up to compensate for his employees lack of performance either. The fish dinner was well cooked but bland for cajun and although I was hungry as hell by that time, this meal wasn't worth the experience, inconvenience or wait...

Beautiful area to sit outside, however, the food was not great. Our trip to the salad bar and the crab legs were the best part of the meal. Everything else was overbreaded and greasy. The service was just Ok. We we're sharing, but had to ask for plates to do so. Had to ask for refills, no plates were ever removed. Disappointing visit, would not recommend.

This institution is an Annapolis classic. There are basically 3 classic places to eat crabs in Naptown and this is one of them. The menu is delicious and the portions are generous. Crabs, whichbis why most go are average priced given the market value however they are just yummy! Service is awesome but be prepared to wait, and wait, and.....well wait. This place is very popular with average wait times on the weekend of an hour plus. You can't beat the view! By boat or by land, always a good time. I really like the new dock bar!

Great place to hang out for some crabs. 3 of us order one dozen and really had the intention to order another dozen! Crabs itself are fresh and tasty. Downside is to avoid the powder if you don't like it too salty.
Place has a boatyard as well which welcomes you to dock and we got off from there.
Great alfresco sitting to enjoy some cold beers and talk!

Order (hamburger) was overcooked (ordered MR/delivered very well done). Wait staff largely inattentive. Bartender ignored friend and me for 10 minutes in favor of apparent regulars who came in well after.

I ve heard great things about this place. It was raining and a little chilly when I went so I didn t have to wait. Our waiter wasn t friendly and needs training on reaching over your food with his hands in your face but otherwise I enjoyed myself and would like to go again. My food was hot fresh and tasty! My drinks were good too.

My wife loves this restaurant so do I. Level of service is excellent and the food is amazing. This restaurant is highly recommended. I also wanted to specially thank Joanna Smith, the manager, for finding and keeping my wallet. You are the best.

Mike's has some of the best cream of crab soup that I have ever had! Beautiful views of the river, with outdoor seating available. Great service, delicious food, and cold drinks make this spot a perfect fit for all!

I was completely unimpressed. Got a tasteless - and I mean no flavor at all - soft shell crab sandwich in April which should be a perfect time for them. One star because the fries were good and so was the bottle of wine I bought in their store. But I would not recommend the food at all. How on earth it got a 4 plus rating is beyond me.

Delicious and a wonderful view just make sure you're in the mood to relax and not be in a hurry. Went on a busy, beautiful Saturday afternoon and was told it would be an hour and 45 minute wait which we weren't surprised to hear but was pleasantly surprised that we only ended up waiting for 40 min before a table was available. I got the jumbo crabs and my Mom got the cream of crab soup and the crab cake platter. Rochelle gave us wonderful service and was really sweet! If you don't want to wait to dine-in they have a wonderful market as well!

Food was good, good drinks. Nice crowd of people. Live music which was a nice surprise. Wonderful view from the patio, that we were forced off, of due to enormous spiders with very large webbing. all over the place.

The best crabcakes on earth and the owner drove us back to our hotel. What more can you ask for in a restaurant and a restaurant owner. I would make a special trip back to this restaurant any time I am in the area. You should stop by, but get there early because there is a long wait but well worth it because the food and the atmosphere is so good.

Periodically a medium to large group of us meet for lunch. We were a little disappointed to find out that we could not receive individual checks; however, we understood and made the best of it. We were celebrating a birthday and brought our own cake - to our surprise, WE WERE CHARGED $20 and told this upon entering the restaurant. Not only were we charged the $20, we were taxed and the gratuity of 18% reflected as well. We have never had this happen before at any other restaurant. If you will be celebrating a special event, do NOT go to Mike's - find a more accommodating restaurant - there are lots around.

Best crab house in the Annapolis area. On Riva Road just over bridge. If ur on the Riva Bridge u cant miss it.
Seafood house with the usuals but they have a great salad bar, really good pizza, burgers, MD crabs all year, full bar separate from tables with at least 15 flatscreen. Outside seating, a separate new bar outside with rooftop seating.
Locally owned and the owners are awesome. Always nice and talkative.
Right now a dozen large male crabs $65. They r good. Summer time get there early on weekends like 1130 for lunch cuz it gets packed.
They bought old Paul's so they can have huge receptions there and smaller ones in the main building upstairs.
Docks and plenty of boatslips. Great for weddings and big corporate events.
Been there for at least 40 plus years.
Riva!!!!

My wife and I were passing through when the sign caught our attention. The place is rustic and HUGE inside. I'll bet when crab season opens, this place will be packed. Looked like a well established business. Food was good, staff was pleasant.

One of my personal favorite restaurants in the Annapolis area. Great food, and a lovely view, it also has good access to eating crabs. The wait is usually super long however due to its popularity, which can be a big hassle. So I reccomend if you want to eat crabs, or if it's a rainy day and you want to sit outside under a covering, but other than that the wait might be too long for someone looking to just stop buy for a bite to eat and then carry on

Mike's Crab House is a great place to go when you're in the mood for crabs. Big, family friendly, with seating both indoors and out. Reservations are not accepted, so be prepared to wait, especially if there are a lot of you. Thankfully the tiki bar out back makes terrific tropical drinks (don't miss the orange crush) and there are plenty of picnic tables to hang out; the time goes by quickly. Crabs are fresh and delicious. Sides are average and nothing special: salad bar, fried calamari, chicken fingers all meh. Service is friendly and efficient; they're accustomed to handling crowds here. A fun must-visit in the summertime.
