We love Captain Pells Fairfax Crab House. The staff and service is great! The food is outstanding, especially the steamed blue crabs!!!

I tried this restaurant because I heard it was a decent place to get crabs. they had made extra big cockroaches available so I was a happy camper after I put my order for picking up. the restaurant is large. many seats are available, but on a crowded day they can be near their neighbours. the crabs did not seem x-big, but I suppose they are x-large based on this season. they tasted good. only two of the bought dozen had muddy meat. the season was not overwhelming. if the restaurant was closer, I would try it again.

Fantastic family style seafood restaurant, very spacious environment with tvs that play sport over the restaurant. great bar and fresh seafood. parking was simply the time I went, was on a Saturday night, so it was quite busy when they stopped and eat every other day on the afternoon the wait is very short
