For anyone Traveling to Visit Just Trains who likes Maryland Crabs

TransmanTransmanOGR Forum Member
I was just reading Mr Muffins webpage this morning,he had been to York from Ind. He traveled to Just Trains from York.

For anyone not familiar with this part of the country.
When you go to Just Train's,you are roughly about a 1/2 hour away from Maryland Crab Houses near or on the Cheasapeake Bay.
This isn't a thread on which one is better or worse.

I had a boat down in that area for 20+ year's,so I'm reasonably familiar with the area
I'm just trying to inform people what's close,because when you go to Just Trains,and are not familiar with the area ,you would not have any idea you are so close to the Cheasapeake Bay
Here's some links,my first pick,and my favorite would be The Taproom,you'll enjoy the area.
Howard House is closer,Woody's is a nice area also
I'll probably repost this with the new forum

It has been a long time but "The Golden Bull" in Gaithersburg had pretty good crab cakes.


The Crab Shack in Rockville wasn't bad either.

Yes you can park on the street or there is a public parking area behind the town hall. That will bring you out almost across from Woodies.
Yes the ice cream shop is still next door.

We've been to the ice cream shop more than the restaurant...most of my family doesn't like seafood Eek

Well, guys, if you can't get to the Bay, bring the Bay to you -- I mean Old Bay seasoning. Essential for crabs but great on popcorn, sweet corn, veggies, burgers, maybe even slaw, and just about anything else (except scrapple Big Grin). A real Chesapeake tradition.

When I was a kid when we went on vacation it was always to a beach that had good fishing .2 things that were always packed in the car. A 5 gallon lard can with holes in the top for steaming and a huge can of Old Bay.

My mom uses a one hundred year old recipe for her Oysters and Maryland crab cakes . She says if she couldn't use Old Bay she wouldn't make them.

Hi Joe, this may be a good side trip for my family one day. Aaaa, trains and crabs something for everyone. Cool

I'm not that big of a fan of crabs in the shell, but I do like a crab tomato sauce over pasta. Or crab cakes and beer are really great.

In any case I have not been to Just Trains new location yet and this may b a good excuse to go.

Bill as soon as I saw you posted I thought you'd be the one to enjoy this the most.

If your ever down Nags Head way this is the best crab house on the island.

And while you are there don't forget to pick up the obligatory tee shirt with "I got my crabs at Dirty Dick's" prominently displayed on it. Eek
