"We had a reservation for 14 people at 4 PM, which turned out to be 15 in total. We enjoyed a wide variety of dishes, from chicken tenders to steak, crab legs, and overflowing seafood platters, all the way to all-you-can-eat options! The hard shell crabs were the best, and the steamed shrimp were incredible. The crab legs were tasty, though I prefer them heavily spiced. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meals. Our server, Laken, was truly amazing—hands down the best server we've ever had! We adored her and hope to be served by her again next time. We were never left wanting, as we always had plenty of crabs, crab legs, shrimp, butter, and cocktail sauce. The owner also stopped by to check on us and was very friendly. Happy New Year to everyone at Rubes!"

The crab legs and crabs were meaty, large and delicious. The hush puppies and the French fries were on point. You need to make reservations.

What can I say? I will let the pics speak for themselves. Our server kept checking on us and making sure we were ok. Would recommend for sure!

All in all the good was pretty decent. It's somewhat pricey but I guess not for the type food they sell. Waitress was very good and timely. Atmosphere was pretty decent I'd say. The only one comment on food is day is the steak didn't have a lot of flavor , not does the unsweet tea . Other than that it was pretty good .

My husband and I haven't visited in a while, and we were thrilled with the $30 AYCE Crab special. The soup and salad were excellent, and the crabs were fantastic! Our waitress Gabby was incredibly sweet and efficient throughout our visit. We're looking forward to returning soon for this special. It truly satisfied our craving for crabs. Thank you, Rube's Crab Shack!

We were up last night at 4:00. Had no reservation because it was early, but we were offered the bar. No problem at all and I have to say the place full within 15 minutes. Our waitress/bar tender/ answers all phone calls and command, Shannon, was nothing less than amazing! She kept the food coming while they sat at the bar and never missed an incoming call. The food is always great and will continue to go to Rube. Shannon is the best! View menu

I took advantage of the all-you-can-eat crab special at an excellent price! The crabs were delicious—not too small, well-seasoned, and every single one was good. Our server appeared to be a bit overwhelmed, but she was doing her best to keep up. One thing I would suggest changing is the lettuce in the salad bar; it resembled a bagged mix of iceberg lettuce, red cabbage, and carrots. Adding some leafy greens would improve it significantly.

Just to note: if you've been to Dave Janes, Mays Seafood, Liberty Seafood, Crab Shack, or Stadium Bar Grill, you might leave disappointed. Other crab restaurants often serve small crabs, rely on reheated (pre-steamed) seafood, and lack the freshness you crave. If you're looking for an authentic crab experience, head to Rubes. Their crabs are freshly steamed every time. At $43.95 per person, it's an incredible bargain! I want to commend the owner, Bobby, for creating such a fantastic crab restaurant. Plus, all the other food looks amazing too. I feel confident this place will continue to impress in the future. Great job, Bobby—and thank you! Best, Gary Tria Lehman

"Whenever I land in Maryland my first stop is to see my Bestfriend and eat. Per our usual, I search Yelp for what we’re in the mood for and go from there. This time I was in the mood for Barbeque and we ended up at Chubby’s! Chubby’s was super easy to find as it's right off the main road. There is ample parking in their private lot which was awesome as I was ready to eat. LoL! Upon walking in I was greeted by Michelle who also ended up being my waitress. Michelle was very pleasant and very engaging. Upon being seated, Michelle went over the menu with my table, answered my this vs. that questions, took our drink orders and allowed us some time to figure out what we wanted. When Michelle arrived back with my Sweet Tea (which was absolutely awesome) she took our orders and told me to make sure I saved space for dessert. As we couldn’t decide on what to choose we ended up with a table of options. Based on what I was able to taste from everyone’s plates, here’s an overview: Bestie: Pork Belly Perfectly done and super flavorful. Besties Wife: Chubby Burger Uniquely crafted burger that is Super Filling and pairs well with the “Any Last Words” sauce. Coleslaw Ahhhhhhhhmaaaaazingggggg Kiddies: Onion Rings Great flavor profile in the batter. Nice sized onion. Served fresh and perfectly golden. Mozzarella Sticks Suler cheesy and good. As far as my meal The first word that comes to mind for me is WOW!!!! Along with good service Chubby’s has good food. My Burnt Ends were meaty, flavorful, perfectly done, and had the authentic smoked barbeque flavor that I was seeking. The fries were hand cut and gooooooood. Crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside. Perfectly salted and a perfect pairing to my Burnt Ends With having the Burnt Ends as my main course I was able to test out the sauces. OmMyGosh! I never knew how much I loved an assortment of barbeque sauces until today. However, though each sauce held its own and I appreciate the variation; I fell in LOVE with the “Private Reserve!” The Private Reserve sauce is a crafted blend that gives you a little bit of each flavor desire. There’s a hint of spice, a dash of sweet, and a smooth undertone of smokiness. Now, if you’re a lover of experimenting like me, make sure to blend the Private Reserve with the Hot Out. Of. This. Worlddddddddddd good. I had the Gooey Vanilla Cake for dessert. It was super moist, flavorful, and the Caramel drizzle really sets it off. It puts you in the mindset of cheesecake meets cake with a flaky texture. Chubby’s was an awesome find and I would recommend it to anyone in the area looking for some good barbeque.
