Obrycki's - Baltimore, MD

When you sit down at Obrycki’s, the waiter will ask if you are interested in crabs.

"U-peel-'em shrimp, encrusted with the same peppery spice mix that adorns Obrycki's more famous crabs: these are delicious!"
Michael Stern

"Brand new quarters (since 1986), but inside are the same good Maryland crabs that have made Obrycki's a Roadfood landmark for more than half a century"
