Good food and service was good. Good bartender didn't have much of a cocktail list, I sit at the bar most times best service. Rustic like a lot of the seafood places that sell crabs
It was a bit weird walking through the bar to an area that is part service bar/part hostess and entrance to the dining room. I was Greeted promptly and was seated quickly without a reservation. Tuesday 6ish. It's a large, open room with dining tables and crab eating tables. Several larger tables held large groups. The room is open floor plan, moderate lighting, no music and people talking and enjoying their food. It's loud. Really loud at times. Service was excellent. Our waitress was friendly and ready to bring whatever we could have possibly needed. We planned to get crab cakes ($5 off on Tuesday) instead we ordered a dozen large crabs And a bunch of appetizers. The crab dip was in a bread bowl that was flakey/crispy/chewy and perfect. The dip was good but was hoping for something better/more. Crab egg rolls were fun, tasty and lots of lump Meat. The 1/2 crab soup was referred to as decent (?). Now onto the crabs. They came out hot, plenty of seasoning and picture perfect. They were steamed and seasoned every bit I could have hoped for. Taste was amazing and the meat was perfectly cooked. I would have liked the crabs to be heavier but I understand the time of season (local Crabs will get heavier soon). Kinda crazy to think they were $10 a crab tho. 120 dz for large. Overall had a great experience with service and food. Will gladly go back. Not a big deal but thought I'd point out they add an 18% service fee to all checks. I had no problem with this, I even added more, but I know some people prefer to know In Advance. Think $120 dozen crabs + 18% gratuity. Easy $140+ a dozen.
My first time eating at Costas was tonight. I enjoyed looking at the pictures on the wall and noticed Hoda and Kathi-Lee's picture. I don't know the history behind Costas since I've never heard of the place until tonight. We had a family dinner and birthday. Our server was Jenny and she was very nice and patient with us in the beginning. The rest of our party was late because of the weather. Jenny kept checking in on us. When the rest of our party arrived, Jenny put in our order of crabs. The star of the night were the crabs. They were huge! We also ordered hush puppies and mussels. The hush puppies were delicious and the mussels were made differently than I am used to. They added cheese and it was pretty good. At the end, Jenny was on the ruder side. She may have gotten annoyed that some people in our party asked for the Jay-O to be washed off because of the high salt content. Or maybe because some people ordered more food. Who knows! The ambiance is simple and the bar area is huge. There were a lot of people eating in the bar area, not just drinking. I will definitely keep this place on my radar for good seafood.
A nice little spot off the beaten path so to speak, that as a restaurant / bar delivers some pretty good food options and a few decent beer choices with some craft on tap. The staff there has always been pretty friendly and accommodating, and on top of things. And if you like crabs, then this will definitely be a place for you to check out as people do go at it with the crab cracking that takes place.
Seafood Heaven at Costas Inn! Our visit to Costas Inn was nothing short of amazing! As seafood enthusiasts, we were thrilled with the outstanding quality and flavor of every dish we tried. The steamed crabs were absolutely perfect--succulent, seasoned to perfection, and bursting with fresh, sweet flavor. Cracking them open and savoring each bite was a true delight. The crab cakes were another highlight. Packed with generous chunks of crab meat and minimal filler, they were expertly cooked and incredibly flavorful. It's clear that Costas Inn takes pride in their crab cakes, and it shows. The soft shell crabs were a revelation. Delicately fried to a crispy golden brown, they were tender and delicious, offering a perfect balance of texture and taste. Beyond the incredible food, the ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for an exceptional dining experience. Costas Inn is a must-visit for any seafood lover. The combination of top-notch dishes and outstanding service makes it a standout destination. We can't wait to return and indulge in more of their fantastic offerings!
The Crabs are always amazing here! Marcy was very attentive and took great care of us!
08/19/23: First stop on our Baltimore crab cake run. Lively atmosphere. Our waitstaff very pleasant and always had a smile on her face. We were a large party but never felt rushed and she was very attentive. My first time. Wasn't impressed much for all all that work to get to the crab. But once obtained sweet and tasty. I had the fried crab cake it was ok I think I'm team broiled. We also partaked in the tower and shrimp cocktail. All were very yummy. Great time had by all.
