Jerry's Seafood "Home of the Crab Bomb" - Seafood restaurant in Bowie - 15211 Major Lansdale Blvd, USA

If you are looking for all crab meat in a crab cake look no further. Came here the day after the snow storm and there was hardly anyone there so the wait time was little to none. Staff were great and food was Good Good!!!

We came for the crab bombs and we were not disappointed!! They were huge and filler free!! Fairly priced as well. The calamari was also a highlight and our server, Eddie, was very friendly and attentive!

I had the pleasure of eating at the bar of this place with Paul as the bartender. He and his barback were attentive, kind and might I say, very easy on the eye. Drinks are priced to market and also well made. 5/5. Now the food. Perfect cream of crab soup with lots of lump crab. Hot, flavorful, well made blackened salmon with crab imperial atop. The side ceasar salad was just okay as I prefer graded cheese vs shaved. The greenbeans were a bit undercooked 4/5. The atmosphere was a bit loud with just a few people (12 while I was there) for a 3$ establishment but it is a small bar and nearly enclosed from the rest of the restaurant, so the sound has nowhere to go.4/5 Overall, I will return here. Advice: Don't go to the bar (while more than 10 people are there) if you want to have a quiet conversation. Sit in the restaurant section instead

Stopped in here during a work trip due to the good reviews and a local recommendation. I was torn between the seafood platter and the "Crab Bomb" but since it seemed to be what they're known for, I have it a try. I'm glad I did! It was cooked just right, tasted fresh, and wasn't overloaded with seasoning. I also got the veggie of the day, scallion string beans, they were good too. I thought it was a bit of a high price for it, but there's so much crab, I felt it was a fair price after all. I'll be back to try the platter in the future!

Listen, I am extremely late to the game as I have been needing to try this restaurant for about a year. Decided to try them after a trip to the zoo. Was seated immediately, and my server was Mixy. When I tell you she is absolutely FABULOUS 👌. Found out she has been working for the restaurant for about 14 years. She is top-notch. Never forgot anything and was spot on with the recommendations. She never made you feel like she was rushing you to order or to wrap up your meal. She will be requested when I go back. Let's talk about the food... soup phenomenal. I went with the crab bisque based on Mixy's recommendation. I loved it so much that I went back several days later for takeout. The restaurant is about 35-45 minutes away as I live in Virginia, but well be worth the drive. Also had the crab dip which I can attest to being delicious even when coming straight out of the fridge. The crab bomb was probably my least favorite item. Now, before you attack me for saying something about the most well-known item on the menu. I'm not saying the crab bomb is bad. I'm just saying out of all of the items ordered, I could leave or take it honestly. My mom ordered the fried fish, and it came out golden brown and perfectly crispy. It unfortunately has a sweet cornmeal batter, which honestly we weren't a fan of. I would love it if there was another option. Green beans smh don't eat those that's all I will say about that. Lastly, the pound cake. My mother can bake, I can bake my grandmother made a bomb pound cake. Listen, that lemon pound cake that was served to me that day was so darn delicious, and I normally will say nobody can come close to my mother's or grandmother's pound cake. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Trust me, you will thank me later. Don't walk! Run to Jerry's and ask for Mixy! Sit a spell and enjoy all the yummy items on that menu.

Finally got to Jerry’s Seafood to get a crab bomb! It was a busy Sunday, but fortunately I was able to snag a seat at the bar so I could watch football. I had an old fashioned that was tasty…then got my baby crab bomb! I paired it with sautéed green beans and a baked potato and was very happy! It was just enough food that I didn’t feel stuffed and the crab bomb was perfect! Plenty of parking and the bartenders were lovely…in fact, a basket of bread was set next to me and I wasn’t even sure it was mine 😂

Always delicious, never any filler in my crab bomb... the seafood platter is my go to here and I will always love this place...I WILL say, our cream of crab wasn't so creamy...but the taste was good... and it's usually a little thicker, so I'm not sure what was going on this last visit... but the seafood platter and the crab bomb were on point as usual! I didn't care for the stewed tomatoes, but whoever was in that kitchen put their entire FOOT off up in that coleslaw!

First time. PROS: Service & atmosphere was excellent. Food was great, The Crab Bomb is defiantly all crab meat & no filler! CONS: Kinda sucks that the dishes don't come with sides, thats separate. The crab meat on top of Cream Crab Soup is all the meat you get, still good tho. Only thing lacking was flavor. Had to add salt & Old Bay constantly while eating both dishes.
