My family went here back in 2013 when we were in the area. We got the recommendation from a local. Man, it was good. I still think about it a decade later!

Great bar great food great owners. I have been going there since 1971 . I live in Florida I get back to Baltimore about every 3 months that's the first restaurant I go to

The food, atmosphere, family, customers Everything is a vibe A+++ and hats off to the owner for being so heart warming I love how he manages the check cash out desk😆

I've know this Family going on 40 years. They are The Real Deal! Every meal I've had has been Superior! This is a nice piece from Vice, but COSTAS has always given and gorren the love from their patrons. Σ 'αγαπώ οικογένεια

Absolutely loved this video! It's so heartwarming to see the passion and tradition behind Maryland's best crab cakes. The dedication of the family really shines through, and it's clear why their crab cakes are so renowned. Can't wait to try them out myself one day. Keep up the amazing work, and thanks for sharing your story with us! 🦀💖

God bless this family and their business for years to come, quality is what quality does.

Been eating there since the 80s...best crabs, crab cakes and seafood in town!

The food is fabulous and the family is the best. They are hard working, caring people and to be in business for over 50 years is a huge accomplishment.

THIS is the American dream for sure! We need more of this!! Work hard, dream big, and have some luck with the right time & right place ... Kudos to Costas!! I will need to check out and rate your crab cakes on the "Aunt Evey scale". As a true Baltimoron [whose family member X makes THE best crab cakes], I can't help but compare every restaurant's crab cakes to my Aunt Evey's, which was a 10/10 (of course), may she rest in peace...

This is my absolute favorite place to get Crabs. My dad took me here when I was a kid and I always go at least once a year. I’m glad this place is getting the recognition it deserves. People always hear about Jimmys famous but Costas is far superior in my opinion as a Marylander.

This place is one of the best! Glad they’re getting the love
-

Boy you really wanna stir the pot tackling the best crab cakes in MD... Let the fighting begin!!!

Great food, great owners. When I used to drive truck down to the port, they always let us park in the back of their lot for the night to sleep. Parking is always hard to come by- but here we would always come in for world class seafood as well!

Just shows that it's not only about the amount of money you have made. But legacy you left behind.
