This is the place to go for Baltimore-style blue crabs, and a plastic bib is standard in the no-frills dining room adorned with fishing gear. For 30 years, family-owned Dinardo’s has been a favorite; it’s got to be the $32 all-you-can-eat Monday night feast. The menu also includes steaks, pastas and salads. And during the late spring and early summer months, you’ll find delectable — and easier to eat — soft-shell crabs.

Like it did me. I asked a group of friends to go here to celebrate my birthday with the hopes of getting some succulent crab legs.. We all decided we would never dine here again. First of all the place is as big as a city row house. The tables are all jam packed together. Its just a little too close. The lighting is very dim and the light over our table flickered the whole time. There is no background noise, no elevator music.. nothing. That in addition to the dim lights gave the restaurant an eerie feeling. Our waitress spilled drinks on us as she was setting them down. She did not know from which side to serve. The crab soup was nothing but canned veg soup with crab meat and added salt. Our entrees were tasty but 2 people ordered the crab cake and they both had shells in them. The food is overpriced (I ordered the king crab legs for $35 and received 2 {two} crab legs and a baked potato. One slice of boxed pumpkin cheesecake was $6.75) and the quality is extremely lacking. NOT fine dining in the least. I would never recommend this hole in the wall. Posted by Ayishah: Nov. November 5th, 2008 at 10:07 PM

this place should not have been in restaurant week, i had shells in what i believe to be canned crab... i had the crab and penne which tasted so bland that i didn't finish it... our waitress kept fulling our water glasses with ice instead of water, it took her forever to bring our food and our check. Our light was flickering and it went out, we had a horrible night and i was on an anniversary date with my girlfriend and well we both think we wasted the 45 dollars we spent on dinner and tip.. NEVER WOULD GO BACK!!!! even if they paid me Posted by mke: Feb. February 1st, 2008 at 2:56 AM

Grab some friends and go on "all you can eat" crab night. They are the best..and the crab sauce for dipp'n..yum! Endless basket of steaming hot fries (no spice for me) outstanding. You can get much better seafood elsewhere. But no where else will you get better crab! See ya Monday! Posted by L: Jan. January 17th, 2008 at 2:44 PM
