This place is a gem! Crap dip is AMAZING!! With a selection of crackers, bread, or celery!!Service was excellent! We walked in and were immediately greeted by a server with a smile! Seated ourselves and again, immediately another worker brought menus, silverware, and placemats. Within 2 minutes our server asked if we would like drinks!! Drinks were ordered and she came back almost immediately with our drinks and asked for our order. I ordered the crab cake, cole slaw and stewed tomatoes-hubby had stuffed lobster with shrimp. Crab cake was jumbo lump which was very tasty! Maybe a bit too much filler, but it did have excellent flavor! The stuffed lobster had to go back as it was undercooked. Regardless, when it did it was amazing as well!Hubby's meal came with another full loaf of bread, so we took that with us. It must be homemade, as it is some of the freshest bread ever! Pillowy soft!You must check out this place! It will definitely be on our return list!!

Love every bit of not. Came here to eat crabs, but I guess it's not quite in season yet. They said they have smaller crabs only, but I went ahead and tried it. Delicious and I was satisfied. Got a family feel atmosphere. Great place!

Que Giligans Island music because I went on a 3 hour tour to find crabs. Yes. 3 hours! We went to our normal crab place, they were having a private party so we went to another We'll know crab place and they had a power outage. Go figure! Lol. Finally we decided to try Schultz's Crab House. We were so relieved when we were immediately seated and had our drinks in 5 minutes tops. The crabs we great and can I say the most affordable price I've found this far?! They even threw in extras. Our waitress was the sweetest and kept checking on us. There's a pool table in the bar area and we watched a few entertaining games. I would definitely come back to Schultz. It's a neighborhood family owned crab house with all the feels. Til next time!

If you go here for steamed crabs and only crabs you're good to go. Prices aren't bad for crabs in this area so thumbs up there. Other foot that isn't strictly steamed crabs, steer clear. Went to dinner here with my wife and a friend that was visiting and we were all very put off by the food. They were out of crabs that night :(

OK the ambiance is local bar but the food is excellent particularly anything crab related. Nice portions. Maybe a bit expensive but everything is expensive these days. On the James Beard Classics list for a reason. (I've been to about a dozen of the places on that list and pretty much all were amazing even if half of them were random holes in the wall thst you wouldn't expect for a second to have the best food of your life in.)

Excellent, consistent food at reasonable prices. Always a pleasure coming. Never have to wait very long (if at all) but it's always been a great experience

I love Schultz's the food, atmosphere, hospitality, service is great. The best crab cakes and crab bisque I ever had. I live in cecil county and it's worth the drive to me to go to a place that I feel comfortable and can relax and enjoy myself. My waitress was awesome. I give Schultz's a 10 out 10.

We were here a year ago and rated it very highly. Was again invited to a birthday party there the day after Christmas 2023 with a party of 12. Food was mediocre at best, my crab fluff was a ball of grease. Server was new but did a great job. It's a shame the food wasn't as good as the first time we. Not worth going back for as expensive as it was.
