I’ve visited this establishment multiple times and enjoyed the atmosphere while waiting for my takeout order. I tried the honey old bay thighs for the first time and I’m pissed. I waited 30 minutes and paid $20 for 2 toddler size thighs and some mashed potatoes! I asked the server if this is the typical size of the thighs and he said yes. I feel ripped off and disappointed I’ve gone twice a week for a few weeks now, I’m going to fall all the way back. It’s unacceptable to charge that much for what looks like 1 thigh cut into 2. The flavor of the thighs is lacking and they are dry, like breast dry. Absolutely disgusting. Mashed potatoes are lacking flavor as well.

I was surprised the steak actually was a nice size and cooked perfectly how I asked but the Brussels sprouts was just a lil too sweet ,mash potatoes was amazing & the crabs was a good size but the flavor wasn’t flavoring it neeed real crab seasoning instead of just old bay

The Crackpot offered basic appetizers and bar food offerings. The prices were reasonable and the serving sizes good. The karaoke and games night also made it an enjoyable experience.

Was visiting Maryland and realized that nobody sold alcohol on Sunday so I had to visit this place. It was still selling alcohol. Food was nothing to write home about. I got the calamari which was very bready and slightly chewy but they only had a nice touch to it, which added a lot of flavor. Definitely enjoyed happy hour from 4 PM to 7 PM every single day great prices and great drinks. The staff was very friendly and very welcoming. A great little bar spots that anyone can go to also family, friendly and not very pricey and very easy to get to in the town of Towson.

THE AMOUNT OF FOOD RECIEVED WAS GREAT AND IT WAS DELICIOUS. I ORDERED THE Bacon wrapped bbq shrimp over maple glazed Brussel sprouts and orange rice. Yummy. It was slow and so was the service. Atmosphere is ok, but doable. Ordered a whiskey sour that was good as well. Prices are pretty good.

I went with my brother for his birthday. We tried calamari, sw egg roll, seafood pasta and bacon wrap shrimp and crab dip It was so awesome experience. I love the food , crab dip was so creamy and bread with that was so soft. and southwest egg roll were best and sea food pasta with Alfredo sauce was full of shrimp, mussels and crab meat

UPDATE**2/16/2025**
The ownership has changed as evident by the new sign and staff. The feel is a bit different. The crabcakes or shrimp salad aren’t as good. The Brussel sprouts were really good, the ribs were average. The staff was ok but not as professional as they could have been. Pics are from the updated review.

It’s a good restaurant with a homey feel. The food ( especially wings, shrimp salad, crabcakes) and service is always good. I’ve never seen it crowded even on Moms Day. Pricing is good also. The crabs look good however I haven’t had them . The parking is in a shopping center.

So. After dining here, this really wouldn’t be my 1st or even 2nd or 3rd Choice for a meal out. Pretty underwhelming Experience. (Actually 2 1/2-3 stars for the food.) Was somewhat worried seeing reviews especially the most recent ones. A Friend treated me to birthday dinner here after we went to our usual for Crab Cakes and it was closed. On a whim wind up @ The Crackpot.
We were seated quickly with no wait because there was only around 8 of us in there, honestly, if that. Staff was very polite & friendly. Casual, Homey Spot located within a strip mall type area. Restaurant was clean. A few Sketchy Type Folk were hanging out in front of the store but nothing too bad. AC was up kinda high/cold. Lots of TV’s around; only 1 on. Not loud but then again place was not even half full. Just a handful of us in there on a Labor Day Weekday around 5pm.
Food took like, 25-30 min to come out. Nothing was hot but very warm which was alright. I got the 2 Crabcake Dinner; friend had Steak & Crabcake, Broccoli, & Mashed Potatoes. Also Sierra Mist + a great homeade unsweetened iced tea (used Sweet & Low on the table.) The Crab Cakes were a nice size, looked good & fried beautifully, and had plenty crabmeat + more than a few backfin pieces/chunks along with minimal filler; they needed SOME type of *FLAVOR* though; particularly seasoning of any kind, or Old Bay BUT they weren’t bad just Extremely Bland…not sure why their crabcakes were garnished with CILANTRO though. Crispy fries. Coleslaw was good & fresh but VERY oniony tasting.
Steak was alright & mostly tender but came well-done instead of medium- rare as asked for. Mashed Pot were tasty. Broccoli OK. Portions for Dinners were OK. Staff was attentive but not intrusive. Only seemed to be 1 Waitress, 1 Cook, & 1 Bartender standing @ an empty bar on this particular day. Overall Not THE Best but definitely Not Terrible either. Food wasn’t the Worst I’ve ever had and I didn’t get sick. Reasonable prices I guess.
Reheated my leftover 2nd Crabcake @ home, added some Old Bay; it was pretty gud AFTER BEING SEASONED. Honestly, prolly would not go back again. Was told they switched ownership and food USED to be WAY Better. Can’t say I Recommend BUT if you find yourself winding up here With No Other Real Options You Should Be Alright Depending Upon WHEN U Come and What U Order.
