Crab Corner Maryland Seafood House is considered one of the best seafood restaurants in Las Vegas. It was founded by brothers, John & Mark Smolen who are originally from the great state of Maryland. Upon coming to Las Vegas in 2006, they immediately noticed the lack of East Coast flavor for all of the transplanted residents. In 2010, the original Crab Corner restaurant on Eastern Avenue opened its doors the public and was an instant hit. Crab Corner moved to its current expanded location on Rainbow Blvd in 2013. It offers the same great food, with a full bar and outdoor patio seating. In 2022, Crab Corner expanded their reach but adding a food truck to the business. You can now find Crab Corner at most of the biggest conventions and festivals in Las Vegas!
Crab Corner takes pride in offering the best, flown in fresh daily, seafood in Las Vegas. The extensive menu offers such items as live lobster, soft-shell crabs, steamed mussels and clams, peel ‘n eat shrimp and much more. Come try it & be transported to the Chesapeake Bay with great tasting fresh & hot steamed blue crabs & jumbo lump meat packed authentic Maryland crab cakes, delectable East Coast oysters, and our homemade Maryland Red Crab Soup! We’ll spread the paper on the table and hand you the crab mallet & knife while you dine in true Maryland crab feast style. So pull up a chair, role back your sleeves & dig in!
