If you know, you know. Same cook over 50 years. Food and atmosphere is the same since I made my first visit 45 years ago. It’s a shame some of the reviewers did not care for it. I could not imagine delivery or take out. Got to eat in. Parking out front free on weekends. Seafood Bisque and Combo Norfolk are the best! Great coleslaw also. Keep going strong guys!

This was the worse experience ever. I live 60 miles away from this place. I just happened to be in Silver Spring so I stopped there before heading home. I order 3 dinners (1 Lite Fare Fried Flounder, 1 Fried Flounderand 1 Fried Combination for a total of $92. I should have tried it before driving home. By the time I got home and was able try the food they were closed. I called no answering machine. The refund policy is call the same day and return the items with receipt. Not possible. The flounder was NOT flounder. The fries were actually fries but a greasy mess and the baked potato was hard(ly) baked. So I wasted $92. This place sells you whatever so called fish they want to. This unacceptable!

I went to Crisfield's for the first time in many years to get a takeout clam chowder. I was stunned by how grungy it has become

We've been going to Crisfield's for about 25 years. We always loved their seafood bisque and stuffed shrimp. Had a late birthday celebration for my husband last night and I'm sorry to say will probably be our last visit. The seafood bisque has lost the bit of a bite to it. The bisque used to have a wonderful after taste but is no longer there. Tasted as though it was canned. The shrimp used were the some of the smallest shrimp I had ever seen. My husband and I both ordered the crab stuffed shrimp. His was served perfectly cooked; mine was burnt. The cocktail sauce was terrible. Was very runny and I all I could taste was a bland watered down ketchup. I realize everything has gone up in price and it's more expensive these days to operate and restaurant but one cannot-should not sacrifice the quality of food in a long standing establishment. We would have gladly paid more for the taste that we used to enjoy.

I miss your wonderful lobster salad and hope it'll be back with soon - otherwise everything about Crisfield's is just right! Don't change a thing!

Down town Silver Spring is a cool area with many different restaurants… I recommend trying one of those other options. I have been to the restaurant 2 times and both time the food was decent. I tried the fried option and the broiled option. The broiled option is better than the fried but both were nothing I recommend. Service is not the best, our server was not friendly and did not check in often although the restaurant was practically empty. The server had to be reminded of things we ordered and reached over our meal multiple times. We visited on a weekend for lunch and the spot was not busy at all. Food lacks seasonings/spice/flavor. Food looks better than it taste. Tomatoes were the best part of my meal. Crab cake is decent.

Catherine the cashier and hostess is fantastic, she's so nice as a greeter and when checking out. Her conversation was enlightening and interesting and it was a delight to talk to her. Can't wait to go
