Reviews for The Point Crab House & Grill in Arnold, MD

Always make it a point (ha, see what I did there?) to stop by when I'm in the area. Typically I like to be adventurous and try... new options, but at The Point I'm straight up here for the tenderloin skewers. It doesn't really get more maryland than freshcorn, tomatoes, lump crab, and beef skewers - and this meal never disappoints! For the record, I have tried other options andeverything is always fresh and local where possible. Great atmosphere, gorgeous views, and delicious food. Can't go wrong! Read more

I have eaten here more than a dozen times and I have always enjoyed the fresh and tasty foods they serve. A must order for... appetizers is the crab dip and old bay chicken wings. During the summer months they offer soft shell crab sandwich which is on abrioche bun and very flavorful and a good taste of a (Maryland) cuisine. The salmon and risotto is cooked just right and veryflavorful. The atmosphere holds it own and is very peaceful. It does get loud in peak times so if you want things a littlequieter ask for a table outside. Read more

I will go out of my way to enjoy a beautiful waterfront meal, and the view at The Pointe Marina was exactly that. I also... couldn?t complain about the meal and helpful service. However, ? i hate to ever rate the service industry with less than 3 starsbut this was well below the bar. While the view is nice, I placed my family?s name on the waiting list on their Yelp page for aparty of 8, 2 hours in advance and called 1 hour prior to confirm that we would be still be seated around the same time. Wearrived to the restaurant within the window we were given between 6:30 - 6:45 and weren?t seated until 7:30. I understand awaiting list is pending the existing guests have left their tables, but having to wait an entire three hours to be seated isunacceptable. Estimates should definitely be given to allow for a cushion for this but to quote a group an hour off is veryinconsiderate of both people?s time AND appetite! Secondly, in my phone call i was specific in requesting an outdoor table as Iwas bringing my newborn and felt more comfortable not having her in the crowd and was assured we would have an outdoor table. ?Yet we were seated in a loud, obnoxiously crowded indoor area where we could barely hear the person next to us. Lastly?. to topit all off, they were out of crab. Bummer. All in all, so much of a place like this is the overall experience. While ourwaitress was sweet, the ambiance is far from pleasurable and you can?t expect any aspect of reliability. 1/5 Read more

We always enjoy The Point! Great place for an impromptu date night, meeting friends or taking out of town guests. Food is very... good and we've always had friendly service. Love the indoor/outdoor setting on the water! We were treated to these cute littleducklings this most recent visit. Read more

I were given a gift card for my medical school graduation. It was a great date night for my wife and I! The food was amazing! My... only complaint was that it was a little loud (not unbearable, just not ideal) Great atmosphere and right on the water. Read more

Beautiful views of the river, marina, and boats. Great food, good sized portions. The seared ahi tacos were delicious, as well... as the fish and chips. It was very busy the day before Easter and the wait was long, but the outdoor waiting area had plenty ofseats and a great view of the water. The electronic wait-list kept us informed of our place on the list, how many people wereahead of us, etc - awesome service. The staff were very friendly even though they were very busy. Definitely a gem, but be sureto put yourself onto the Yelp wait-list to save time! Read more

This was our first time at The Point Crab House & Grill. We were seated promptly. The waitress was very attentive and provided... great suggestions. The food was amazing. We has the crab dip and crab deviled eggs for appetizers...meatloaf and shrimp tacos(w/blue cheese coleslaw) for our entrees. We also had drinks, which were good as well. There are no complaints regarding thefood. Everything had great flavors and cooked perfectly. We will definitely dine again...during the Spring/Fall so we can enjoythe water atmosphere. Read more

The Point is a well known restaurant with the locals. M-Fr they have Happy Hour food at half price. However the quality of food... has suffered greatly. I have been to the Point perhaps a 100 times over the years. Today, only their deviled eggs were up topar. The Crab Dip had very little crab meat in it, certainly no local crab meat. It tasted like watery mayonnaise. The steamedshrimp was not cooked adequately, and lacked any taste of Old Bay. Although they were a good size, at $1.00 each they were notedible at all. Complaint was transmitted to the waitress, however no managerial staff came forward. Unless they improve theirfood quality and customer service, I will no longer visit them. I really don?t see that they got the Point. Read more
