Maryland Mallet

Let me give you a visual.....I travel high and low for quality crabs from Jersey to Florida and these are by far the BEST crabs I've had in a real long time especially for it to be January....I enjoyed myself and although I live in NC, I will be a regular! Good seafood ain't cheap, and cheap seafood ain't good!!! My son ordered chicken and waffles and it was good as well.

Seafood and regular food restaurant. Maryland Mallet Restaurant and Smokehouse Pub is a few miles from the Carroll County Regional Airport. The front door opens on the upper level, and the back door opens to the lower level. Since the parking lot is on a hill, there are no steps between the parking lot and either level so both levels are handicapped accessible. I had a cream of crab soup, plenty of cream, some crab meat, excellent seasoning. Then I had a crab melt sandwich, essentially a BLT on toast with crab meat. Very good. My cousin and his friend had crab cakes. They enjoyed them. Service was efficient and friendly. The restaurant was neat and clean. I recommend the Maryland Mallet Restaurant and Smokehouse Pub.

Yeeeehaw! Iv struck seafood gold out in Westminster, MD! We came on a day where they ran out of crabs but everything else we ordered was off the hook! Fresh Delaware oysters, big juicy angus burgers, steamed shrimp, hush puppies, cream of crab soup ( a bit more jumbo lump crab next time), seafood mac & cheese, bbq pork ribs w/ loaded baked potato and a beautiful sunset view to go with all that deliciousness! We’re coming back for more y’all! Can’t wait!

Incredible ribs and great service!! Today was my 2nd time at Maryland Mallet (my boyfriend is from the area and introduced me to MM) and it was just as good as the first! I love ribs, and Maryland Mallet's ribs are amazingly tender and flavorful (literally falls off the bone as you separate them). The highlight of our experience was our server Goldie, who was super friendly, attentive, and overall delightful!! Our ribs came out quickly, he gave us drink refills and brought to-go containers unprompted, and told us the best times to come for steamed crabs, which we plan to do in the near future! The ribs are great, and (Goldie's) service is impeccable--we can't wait to come back for some crabs, and definitely more ribs!

One of our favorite local restaurants. You'll always enjoy the food, and you'll never leave hungry. I keep a running list of Cream of Crab favorites, and The Mallet always keeps spot in my top 5, and usually in my top three, and has been in the top spot a few times. Had a really nice outdoor dining are during the pandemic.

First visit, we ordered take out on a beautiful afternoon to eat at a nearby park. Told 20 min, we waited another 25 when we got there. My crab melt was cold and the chips that came w it were gross. I'd rather have had the fries, which were actually really good. No napkins or utensils added made it impossible to eat 1/2 the food we ordered until we got home & reheated it. Overall it was overpriced & underwhelming for what we got, I doubt we'll be back.

We've been going here for years and the food has always been great. Lately, every time we've stopped by, we've been turned away. We stopped in at 8:30, there were empty tables and the waitress said they closed the kitchen. They were open until 11 and plenty of people eating food that looked like it had just come out. Okay... stopped in again a week later, this time with our family. Turned away again. Not enough seating despite the empty dining room. Stopped in again 2 days ago, and turned away again. There were about 5 employees standing outside taking a break and there were at least 5 empty tables that I could see, and they didn't have room for us. We've always had a great experience here before. But the last 2 months make me never want to try again.
