wicker's crab pot

overpriced. friend and i just ate here paid $44 worth of food that was enough for one person. the food was decent for the most part, but within an hour we will be eating again for sure.

not worth it.

excellent. our waitress, debbie, was wonderful. best service ever! food was delicious. i highly recommend it!!

thought the food was really good. started with the hush puppies that were done really well. split the she crab soup with my wife which was great and reasonable priced. i had the tuna tacos with ranch chips. that tacos were great, nice kick to them but not overpowering. the chips were ok, nothing to write home about. under $8 for the 2 tacos. my wife got the flounder topped with crab. she thought it was really good just a little pricey $22. the wait staff was great. they also have fresh crabs on site and a walk up to go area. a place where locals would go. will be back

num!. we just recently moved to the area and i wanted to find a local seafood place with a casual atmosphere and great food. i was not disappointed! we shared the steampot for two and it was great. hushpuppies - also delish. if you want a non-chain, honest to goodness seafood joint - go to wicker's!

excellent seafood. such a great service. debbie was our waitress and she is awesome. we had soft shell crab, oysters, crabmeat and shrimp and everything was very tasty.

disappointing..maybe an off night?. i had really high hopes for this place. it was recommended by a chesapeake native who grew up with members of the wicker family; i was promised the absolute best crabcakes i've ever had, with good value and great service.

i came on a saturday night (5/21/22) with my folks for a celebratory dinner. the outdoor patio was filled with folks listening to live music; the take-out window had a long line, the parking lot was full. looked promising! the indoor dining room was packed but our wait to be seated was brief.

from there on, the experience was horrible. our waitress brought out hushpuppies promptly (in fairness, they were piping hot and delicious) but was too distracted by the men at the table across from ours to remember to take drink orders. she returned to our area a few minutes later to bus a table and we flagged her down to order a pitcher of beer, and sweet tea. the pitcher arrived a few minutes later, but no glasses...had to wait for the glasses...then another trip for the iced tea. the she-crab soup was loaded with crab chunks and very rich, but it was lukewarm at best. our hot crab dip appetizer didn't arrive, neither did my mother's appetizer (house salad.) in hindsight, when the salad was ordered the waitress didn't ask about dressing preference; i should have recognized that she wasn't paying attention to our order.

when the entrees were brought out, we told the waitress to please cancel our order for the hot crab dip as it never arrived. we also reminded her about the salad order. she seemed embarassed to have forgotten both, but again didn't ask about salad dressing. another server came to our table with the crab dip saying something to the waitress along the lines of "hey, i think this was yours." our waitress was flustered, and though the dip was cold and had been sitting out she said she couldn't cancel it now and we could just "take it home if we didn't finish it."

needless to say, the dip was pretty much congealed cheese at this point. we each gamely tried some (i heard rave reviews) but it was disappointing. this is the first time in my life i have ever sent something back. to her credit, the waitress apologized and said she'd take care of it.

our entrees (crab cake platter and broiled seafood platter) weren't hot. i will say that the crab cakes were generously sized, and as promised, without any filler. the seafood was fresh, but again, simply not hot.

one of the managers was checking in on the tables in our section and asked how our food was. we didn't mention the poor service (everyone has an off night now and then, and i'm not looking to get anyone fired...besides, cold food is not necessarily a server's fault). we did, however state that the restaurant had been highly recommended, but that the food from soup to entree to appetizer had all been cold. she was shocked, seemed genuinely distressed, and apologized profusely.

dinner came out to $70 for three people. we weren't charged for the crab dip, which i appreciated.

will i go back? maybe. the size of the crabcakes and lack of filler was impressive, and to me indicates a committment to quality and value.

i have a feeling that my experience was an off night at this place. if i do return, it will be for lunch-- a lower stakes, less expensive gamble. if i do have a better experience i will certainly report back

it was decent. i paid $20 for a "steam pot" that had six small crab legs and five shrimp. $20! not worth the price at all. no substitutions allowed. steer clear of this place.

wicker's has a homey feel as you walk in; it's very inviting and we were greeted right as we walked in. we started off with the fried calamari. it was presented nicely and had a beautiful golden color. the breading was amazing and they were fried perfectly. what was surprising was the amount they give you. this could have easily been a meal! i had the crab cake provolone burger with old bay chips and a sam adams rebel ipa. the chips are homemade and fantastic: nice crunch and great flavor. the burger was cooked well to order and the bun was toasted. the star of this dish was the mini crab cake. there was almost no filler and it was seared to perfection. it was so good, i ate half of it right off the burger! my wife ordered the 6 oz sirloin with a fried potato cake and green beans. the steak was cooked very well and the potato cake was phenomenal. the green beans were fresh, not the canned variety and were buttery with a pleasing snap. the meals came with hush puppies, which i have to say i was a little disappointed with. they were tasty, but a little overcooked. this was pretty surprising for a seafood restaurant. to be perfectly honest, i would've rather had hush puppies from long john silver's. the service was good, nothing spectacular. the waitress was attentive and the food was at our table quickly. nothing less than you'd expect from any other restaurant. we didn't have any room for dessert although the carrot cake looked fabulous. that's definitely on my list for the next time we go. :) total including tip: $60

great seafood. awesome seafood for the price and better then most chain seafood places.

great expectations. my girlfriend and i had not been to wicker's in a few years because our last experience was very bad. well we had hoped that it had changed and we were wrong. the blackened tuna was good, we would give it an a. i then had their she crab soup, it was totally unacceptable in taste. my girlfriend had their mac and cheese with shrimp & crab meat and she notated that it was a mistake to order and a bigger mistake in trying to eat it! but our server was delightful, very interactive, cordial, bubbly and the best part of our evening. oh well, we will wait 3 or 4 years to pass and then maybe try again. i am confused as to how anyone says that it was a good place to eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we definitely recommend wicker's. the tuna bites had a liiiitle too much seasoning but the sauce made up for it. super friendly service!

love this place. had a large group visit from new york and my wife wanted to impress them with some great seafood. needless to say, they fell in love! the crab cakes are the best in town and their hush puppies are amazing! ambiance and service was phenomenal too. prices were right around average for this type of cuisine.

found a new go-to restaurant. amazing seafood in a casual atmosphere. try the mac n cheese app...packed with seafood. crabcakes have no filler at all. great staff too!

mr.. very good food and service .
