Abner's Crab House – Seafood
Abner's Crab House captures the quintessential spirit of the coast, where the air is thick with the savory aroma of Old Bay and the convivial clatter of mallets on wood. Guests dive into indulgent, cheese-laden crab pretzels and golden-fried crab balls, while the kitchen turns out smoky BBQ scallops and oysters Rockefeller that sing with the brine of the sea. It’s a lively, salt-of-the-earth destination where cold drinks and shared platters of zesty fish tacos create the perfect backdrop for a sun-drenched afternoon.
