Woody’s Crab House in Maryland is renowned for its crab cuisine, and few places compare. My husband’s favorite seafood dish is crab cakes, and Woody’s is one of the top two spots on the East Coast we've found that truly delivers. From the moment you step into their bar, tiki lounge, or one of three dining areas, you’ll breathe easy knowing the entire establishment is non-smoking—a welcome touch of comfort. Start your visit with a bowl of fresh peanuts, then dive into the menu with the “Cajun Catfish Chunks” appetizer, perfectly paired with a homemade Bloody Mary rimmed with Old Bay seasoning. If you’re a soup lover, you’re in for a treat: choose between their creamy crab bisque or tomato-based Maryland crab soup, both made with premium lump crab meat. They also offer a daily soup special, so there’s always something new to try. Woody’s also shines with its selection of freshly prepared pasta dishes, each bursting with flavor. And for dessert, don’t miss the homemade chocolate chip bread pudding topped with ice cream—it’s sinfully rich and utterly decadent. When you visit Woody’s and meet Pete, his daughter Rachel, her husband Chip, or any member of their warm and welcoming staff, you’ll feel right at home in the charming town of North East.
