Stumbled on this restaurant as we came driving along Route 30 from Gettysburg toward Wilmington Delaware. Couldn't have been happier with the fresh seafood, friendly service and fair prices. Stop by and you won't regret it.

My family has been coming here for almost as long as I can remember. We love this place. If you want to go on a weekend make a reservation or you won't get in.

Picked up live clams. They smelled horrible and about 10% were dead. Owner was rude and short with me while trying to find a solution to problem. He stated.....bring them all back, we will serve them. Dead uncooked seafood can be deadly.....eat/buy at your own risk.

I went to Rt 30 Seafood in September with a group of about 12. I had some trepidation as I had read the other reviews on this site. However I was pleasantly surprised. The waitress was attentive and pleasant. I wouldn't call the service fast but the wait was reasonable for a group of our size. Everyone was very pleased with their entrees. My husband and daughter had the 1 pound shrimp entree which was excellent. I had the shrimp 3 ways which was also excellent. The price was reasonable with our bill being around $20 per person total (food and beverage). There is a more expensive option of the all you can eat seafood, however, nobody in our group felt they could eat that much. All in all it was a lovely night out and we all had a great time.

I went here on a co-worker recommendation for somewhere to go for AYCE steamed crabs, but I will certainly never go back and on Monday I am calling the health department to put in a complaint on this restaurant. Service started off bad, it took two hours to get through 3 trays of steamed crabs. Not because they were piled high with crabs, no, it was because there was only maybe 12 or 15 crabs per tray for 3 guys, then it took another 15-20 minutes to get another order. On top of that we noticed that some of the crabs were not very good and smelled odd, but we chalked it up to bad luck since the others tasted fine and we tossed the bad ones aside. We finally asked the waitress to bring us double orders, which she gladly did. A bit later we had a big pile of crabs and everything seemed to be finally going well. Then we started noticing that for every one good crab there were 2-3 rotten crabs! I'm not talking about a mild off smell like the earlier ones, these were stinking, runny, brown, totally and utterly rotten crabs. It was so bad that it caused all three of us to top eating. Never in my life have i had such a horrible experience, the owner of this establishment should be ashamed. I really hope that I don't get sick and end up with food poisoning from the crabs that I did eat! Rt 30 Seafood is terrible! Do not ever go here!
