The crabs were reall good. We got the special they had which was a dozen #1 crabs, 1/2 lb spiced shrimp and a dozen hush puppies..that was only $80 which was a great price. I also added on 2 pieces of corn for $5. They offer can sodas and bottled water. It was right on the water. Pretty easy to find when using GPS. I will definitely be going back.

Absolutely loved our first dining experience at Drift Inn! Service was exemplary,food was fresh and hot. Shrimp seasoning had just the right balance of spices. If you're a brewed sweet tea fan do indulge in a glass...or 3

Hidden gem! Best crabs I have found in southern Maryland better than Seabreeze. Jumbos were actually jumbos and the Number ones look like jumbos. Good price, and good specials on crabs. A lot of drink options. Great atmosphere. We will definitely be making this our go to crab House for the future!
