Got steamed clams....well ..I'm still waiting on them. My partner ordered fish & chips which he has almost finished. I got the crab soup.....no flavor, shells in it and lukewarm at best. The atmosphere reminds me of my school cafeteria.....only dirtier. THIS PLACE SUCKS!!! More

I go for the steak, but my wife loves the crabs. King Crabs all year round and Blue Crabs in Season. Get a hammer and clear the table. Great fun!! More

Rural Pennsylvania is the LAST PLACE I expected to find a crabhouse.....but the only thing that surprised me more about a seafood restaurant on the Pennsylvania/Maryland line was that the food was great, the service was good, and a place I would definitely return to the next time I am "in town." Well worth the trip! More

The food has gone downhill. The crabcakes have gotten really small, a serving of fries consisted of 10 soggy fries. Really disappointed. Will never, ever go back. More

When you pull in the parking lot you lose your appetite, The sewer runs over about every weekend and it STINKS! The 1/2 doz. med. crabbs tasted dry & warmed over. Not a good place to take the wife for our 39th wedding anniversary! Never again. More

Have been eating here once a year for the last 10 years. D&J is a really relaxed atmosphere and not a BAD place to eat. Food is slightly above average with all-you-can-eat snow crab. Don't waste your time with the chicken. Rest of the food is normal pub-style fair. Waitresses have alway been fun and efficient. Hasn't anyone on the... More

Service was fast. Food was ok, noting to make it stand out for others. Waitress spoke quite loudly, but was polite. Not the best seafood, but acceptable. More

Was in Emmittsburg, MD for work training. Some folks who had been to the training before raved about this place, so a group of us headed over. For a large group, I guess it was an ok spot. Most of the folks I was with ate crab. I’m not a crab person so I just go some fried shrimp. They... More
