Random detour from road trip // highway- didn’t have high expectations but the food was delicious, sea food fresh and service nice. Thumbs up!! And reasonably priced. We will be coming by again if passing through in the future.

We were visiting from out of town and Courtney made us feel at home! Excellent service all around - I appreciated the bartender stopping by and giving his personal recommendation on what flavor of crush I should order next. The catfish and mashed potatoes was very comforting on a rainy day.

Conrad’s has the hardest working staff! This is my family’s go-to place for steamed crabs, fish, crab cakes, and crabby snacks. Love the new layout in the store too!

My husband and I were honeymooning in Maryland and were recommended this place by a friend. Even though we didnt get the steamed crabs they are most famous for, the sandwiches were amazing. The oysters on the half shell were a perfect little appetizer to start us off. The Mainland is like a blackened salmon reuben and it was so juicy and delicious. I got the Baltimore Clipper sandwich and talk about crab bomb! Lisa, our server, was also very sweet and gave us a lil honeymoon cupcake to go. If we are back this way, we will be sure to come back.
