Bethesda Crab House

Welcome to the Bethesda Crab House.

Bethesda Crab House restaurant is the best place in the Washington area to enjoy one of the Chesapeake Bay area's -- blue crabs steamed with Old Bay seasoning. Order as many crabs as you want; when they're ready, they'll be dumped on your paper-covered table. That's your cue to pick up a mallet and knife and attack the crustaceans. (The waiters gladly give instructions.) Then settle back with a beer for some serious crab pickin'. The price varies with the time of year. It's a good idea to call in advance to reserve your crabs -- the restaurant sometimes runs out.
