First time dining in and it was great. Comfortable atmosphere, service was great and all the food came incredibly fast!

Disappointed. Crab balls are tiny and mostly filler with a touch of meat. Third year in a row of ordering a catering tray of crab balls. They were packaged and on time, but they used to be twice this size with crab meat sticking out. This year, prices are high $123, for 50 crab balls, but expected that with crab prices. I get crab meat's 40 a lb, but I doubt there's 1/2 pound of crab across this whole order. They look land taste more like hushpuppies than crab.

If five people at your table order crab legs only one small platter will be brought out. On average, I hade to wait 25 minutes for the next platter.I will never return or recommend this restaurant.But the staff was friendly, I'm sure it was the manager who implemented that tactic.

Wait staff was very attentive and friendly. Atmosphere was VERY loud. Music was blasting at 5 p.m. Cream of crab soup was not hot, just warm. Tuna appetizer was okay. Seafood salad was extremely salty. Husband’s fried oysters were terrible, and his string beans were extremely salty as well. Very disappointed.

Went to Fifer's today for the all you can eat seafood to celebrate the hubby's birthday. Unfortunately they said it is not available on Wednesdays. Perhaps they should update their website which clearly says it is available daily 12-9.

For real tho. This was straight out of bar rescue. Food was actually pretty good but the overall experience was laughable. A patron (I hope it wasn't the owner) had an air cannon in the bar. Yes. You heard me right. Not only was it loud and obnoxious, but the staff found it amusing. Sorry if Im being a Debby downer but it was pretty damn loud and super annoying. When he ran out of one tank of compressed air (scuba tank size) he went to his car for another one. I had to leave.other than that, one bartender was balls deep in his cellphone the whole time. I hope the owners see this and fix it. First and last time for me. What a joke.

Had some friends (family) come to town wanting some steamed crabs and beer. We came here specifically for the crabs. It was quite an experience.First, I'll say this. The place is in need of some updates. Some of the interior wall decor were pretty cool though. I understand the layout is technically a seafood market and that's supposed to be the best part. It's not just about the cold display with of tons of fresh seafood on ice. I see you have some regulars that don't come to eat.Also, I didn't care for the cream of crab soup at all. It was warm to almost cold and lacked flavor. I believe a little sherry and a pinch of J.O. or Old Bay would have done the trick. Omit the green onions.And maybe something extra besides antibacterial soap too for sanitizing hands. I'd honestly suggest something equivalent to some barbicide and a nail brush. The potty was clean though. Big plus!Interestingly enough, my friend's and me had just discussed trying gator when I visit them down South. We were in luck! This place had gator bites on the menu and we asked for that almost immediately while giving our drink order. Didn't even need the dipping sauce, but we tried it and it was amazing!The crabs were thick, full, tasty, and absolutely amazing! However, I was a bit taken back by the price for crabs in October. It was $90 for a dozen large and $120 for a dozen jumbos. The crab population hasn't disipated or gone belly up because of COVID or the season. That's what we came here for and what we wanted more than anything else. Along side, some cold beer.Finally, a must try. I had the coconut shrimp. Definitely fresh and the dip that came with it is amazing.I asked for the gumbo first, but it wasn't in season. (I make gumbo and other items all year long.) The necessary ingredients were in the cold case upon entry. The chicken and sausage market hasn't disipated either because of COVID or the season either.No pun intended. ;)

Fantastic experience with my friends. Down home feel with pleasant and accommodating staff. Ceiling fell but the staff handled it with resilience!! Can't wait to return.

I go to Annapolis one week every month and I always eat here. Staff has always been really nice and helpful and the food is always great. Seafood is fresh. Try the soft Shell crab blt, my favorite!

Very casual. Small space with 3 TV screens (orioles and nationals, both won in extra innings). The bar got a little loud. Staff was good, we ordered grilled tuna appetizer (tasty) steam shrimp (good) huspuppies and fried class (awful). The fried foods were way overcooked and tasted like the oil had not been changed since the Os won the world series.
