"Ernie’s Crab House in Alexandria is conveniently located near the King St Metro Station. It’s one open dining space with large tables and a small bar towards the back. They’re known for their crabs, of course, but definitely order some French fries and onion rings and fried calamari to go with your meal. This place is good for large groups, because of how the tables are situated. You get a good amount of seafood for the price. There’s also a jukebox near the entrance with a lot of songs from throughout the decades. Get messy, eat your fill, and enjoy!"

Carol
Wanted crabs but didn't want to get them ride home and eat so I found this place that you could eat in. Nothing fancy not crowded. My BFF and I ordered a dozen med crabs. They were big meaty hot and great. Other customers stopped by our table to check out the crabs and took pictures. Could not believe the size. Will definitely keep this on my go to place for crabs. It's a must try.

I wasn't expecting a white tablecloth experience, so the kraft paper table covers and styrofoam plates were perfectly acceptable. The crabcakes were good, not exceptional, but good. I was very surprised at the pricing. Two crabcakes for $30 is about twice what the price should have been. I was very surprised to see plates for over $50 at a place that looks more like an affordable local eatery. I most likely won't go back, but I am glad I checked it out.
