Family owned and operated, The Dancing Crab & Malt Shop has been serving Maryland Blue Crabs all year round, for more than 25 years. We use only the freshest ingredients and choice cuts of meats in our dishes, and offer a great selection of fresh seafood and platters, a wide variety of beer and wines; and, THE MALT SHOP has the best happy hour in town! With all the local sports games on, it's a great environment for enjoying a few beers while watching the game. Our informal dining atmosphere lends itself as the perfect watering hole for family and friends; but we are also available to cater any and every occasion, on or off-site. Our professional and friendly service staff will make you feel like your part of the family. We invite you to come on down and bang some crabs 'til your heart's content!
