Question 1

Do your Maryland crab cakes contain fillers?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. We believe the biggest crime in seafood is a crab cake that looks and tastes like a biscuit. Our signature Colossal Twin Platter features pure, 8-ounce colossal lump crab meat held together with a traditional, gentle fold and zero breadcrumb fillers.

Question 2

Does Fat Boys Crab House have a Happy Hour?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and we don't make you watch the clock! We offer an All-Day Happy Hour that includes local favorites like our heavily seasoned $4.99 steamed shrimps and our famous crab pretzels. You get the best deals on fresh seafood no matter what time you walk through the door.

Question 3

What is the atmosphere like at the restaurant?

Accepted Answer

Fat Boys is a place to crack shells, get messy, and have fun. We are not a luxury, white-tablecloth establishment—we are an authentic Maryland crab house. Expect brown butcher paper on the tables, wooden mallets in your hands, and a lively, high-energy environment perfect for families, weekend parties, and game days.

Question 4

Are your blue crabs sourced locally?

Yes, we take our Maryland roots seriously. We serve authentic blue crabs heavily seasoned with traditional Old Bay. Our steamed crabs are sorted by size and steamed to order to ensure that perfect, sweet Chesapeake flavor every single time.

Question 5

Do you offer catering or space for large groups?

Yes! Fat Boys is built for a crowd. We have a dedicated Party Hall that accommodates up to 150 people, making it the perfect venue for birthdays, corporate events, and large family gatherings in Crofton. We also offer custom catering packages to bring the crab feast directly to your backyard.

What if someone in my group doesn’t eat seafood?
