I don't think I've ever opened a fresh bottle of ketchup at a restaurant in my life. Can't speak about the whole menu but the crabs were great, jalapeno poppers and onion rings were also a hit. Steve served us well!

We had a delicious luncheon here. The steamed crabs were delicious as were the soft shell crabs and Maryland crab soup. Our waitress was lovely. This restaurant is so much more reasonably priced than Nick’s in Baltimore.

My wife and I decided to get carry out from you tonight. We have been there many times before to dine in and was always satisfied with our meal and service. The carry out meal that we got tonight tonight was absolutely terrible. I can honestly say we will never come back or get carry out there again.

Great food and not just the seafood. The home-made bread, slaw and mashed potatoes were great. The stuffed rockfish and lump crab cakes were terrific. Service was fast, efficient and knowledgeable on the menu.

Not what it was in it's hayday. I feel management has gotten complacent, with a we are the best still kind of attitude. Still decent but it's obvious to see the corners that are being cut. The social scene at the bar now is almost non existent. Their more focused on the dining which is what happens with age. So I guess I get it. I also feel that if you have a happy balance you can never fail. Ballance in life is everything. Don't look for a active Bar scene after 10pm any longer.

Was a great Experience. Came here with my family from out of town. Got the Stuffed Rocked fish. It was cooked perfectly. The atmosphere is kinda out dated. 60's- 70's feel. But it's a crab house so it is what it is. Prices are pretty good....fair for seafood. And the quality is worth it. ?? Everything was awesome ?

I love the food at Schultz's. Best crab pretzel ever. Way more crab than any place else. Everything I've had there has been wonderful.

The crab bisque was so thick, it was more like a dip...and was very bland..the Maryland crab soup tasted like just plain vegetable soup with crab meat...lacked seasoning, especially Old Bay. Crab cakes, however, were excellent. Kelly, our waitress, was nice, but very slow...bathrooms are not handicap friendly at all. We took my aunt there who is in a wheelchair and had a very hard time using the bathroom because it's very small size overall and very small stalls...won't go back here again...there are too many good restaurants out there to waste time and money in this old outdated place.

Love Schultz's nice atmosphere we always have a good time, laughing enjoying time with the bartender, food is great, we could go on & on & on, but we all have to go home sometime.??Thanks so much for a great time!!!

I call for female crabs at 4:08 and the male said a dozen of female crabs were $35.00 but when I called again around 4:18 a female answer saying they were $45.00 and when I told her the male said differently she put him on the phone and he said that they were $45.00. When I asked why he said differently earlier and his response was “the price changed”. frankly I believe it was because when they put me on hold they probably overheard me talking an heard I was BLACK!!! or it was because i calling around and they knew that so they want to charge more
