48. Captain Pell's Crab House

Place is a dump, but food is money.

The best crabs I've ever eaten. Always meaty.

We've never had a bad time in all the years of dining at Capt.Pell's. The wait staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome. All the crabs we've ever eaten were above reproach.

As for crab houses in Northern Virginia, Captain Pells is consistently the best. Their crabs are always good, and their service is too. While other crab houses may have a nicer atmosphere with outdoor seating and water views, they do not consistently provide good service and great quality crabs, as Pell's does. No need to order 24 hrs in advance!

Great crabs. Call 24 hours ahead to order a dozen of large crabs. Not cheap but well worth it!
