Homeboy Seafood

Hidden spot in Largo MD, worth a visit. Fresh delicious seafood. They have an excellent variety of options. I tried the fried shrimp, scallops, lobster tail, mac n cheese, coleslaw, crab cake and snow crab. All were very well seasoned and extremely tasty. My only complaint is that the lobster was over cooked. For seafood it is very reasonably priced. Definitely will make another visit.

Homeboy is my go-to, especially when I don't feel like going to the Wharf. The food is always hot and fresh. We normally get the crab leg platter and spiced shrimp with the cocktail and crab sauce. The cocktail sauce has a nice kick. We've gotten crabs but have found the pricing is almost always better at the Wharf. The staff is always friendly and there's rarely a wait. There's no area to sit and enjoy your food. It's a no-frills place but they get you in and out, especially if you call ahead.

This review is just about the crabs only: Just want to share an fyi for everyone that might order from here. I’ve had good crabs from them before, it’s a hit or miss. This instance, I ordered two dozen female crabs from them. I don’t mind having several bad crabs in an order. It happens, I opened each and every crab and out of two dozen, I only had 3 good crabs. It was unbelievable. I called to speak to the manager and he asked if I opened all of the crabs, yes I absolutely did….how was I able to confirm if they were good or not. He informed me that after opening 3 bad crabs I should’ve taken them back….he can’t do anything for me since I opened all of them. Which leads me to think are they taking the crabs people bring back and dump them right back in the pot to place into the next order? That’s not good at all. Here are pics of the bad crabs opened, obviously not touched since they aren’t good to consume. I wasted 65 dollars on 3 good crabs, this ain’t right at all.

Hadn’t been in a few years. They’ve expanded, but it was hot in there, they didn’t even have the fans on. Tried one of my favorites - crab balls. Whelp they’re not my favorite any more. They used to have a lot of crab meat, little filling and moist. Now, they are the driest dustiest crab balls I’ve ever had. I had two and couldn’t eat any more. I opened up the rest of them out of curiosity, barely any crab meat, all breading, no taste at all. 😢
