Stadium Grill & Tavern

We had a good experience here. We went for crabs and they were excellent! Prices are a little high $ 70/​pound for extra large, but worth it. Despite other reviews, our service was good. Other people at our table had wings, crab cakes, crab legs, and pasta. Everything was excellent!

The food was very good, but the service was terrible. We waited for an hour for our food to arrive and most of the food was the wrong order.

I havent actually tried the restaurant but I ordered a half bushel of crabs from the crab shack which is their to-​go for crabs and they were excellent! It was $ 125 for a half bushel and they were hot and steaming when i came to pick them up! Great customer service, very friendly guys in there. The crab shack is cash only, no debit/​credit cards or checks (not sure if the restaurant is the same way). Crabs were sweet and meaty when i got them home. 5 stars all the way!

Best wings I ever had hands down a lot of meat on their wings. Awesome outdoor seating for the summer time and right next to the stadium if you want to catch a game.

Crabs, crabs, crabs. That’s what I came for, that’s what I got. They only had small crabs available the evening of my recent visit, and my parents and I got a dozen. They were small for sure, but bigger than what other seafood restaurants in town might sell as large. The crabs arrived hot, with a generous sprinkling of Old Bay and vinegar on the side, in tiny plastic containers. They were meaty and superb! We ate every single one of them, even after we’ve crossed our fullness threshold. The price wasn’t too bad either — $ 45 for the dozen.
Unfortunately, the other items we tried weren’t as great. My dad ordered a cup of chili, and it tasted like canned chili. We also got the crab bruschetta, which was basically crab, tomatoes, onions, and melted cheese on a flatbread. I guess I didn’t expect it to come baked on a flatbread, but anyway, it wasn’t disgustingly bad or anything — it just wasn’t very well executed.
Service wasn’t the most efficient or attentive. We waited a long time before our server approached us for the first time, and there were huge gaps between beverage refills. They were too busy for only two servers that evening — and the other one was also manning the bar.
Very relaxed, cheery atmosphere.
The crabs are a big reason to go back, definitely. My dad raved about their chicken wings, too, so I’ll make sure to try those next time.

Their website says the next time you’re in the mood for great seafood to go there. Well that’s if they decide to let you have any. Hopefully when you go the crab Gestapo aren’t on premises. I decided to take my mother and 2 little nephews there for steamed crabs. We get there and find out they are out, but have some coming. Was told they would be there at 5 o’clock. It’s 5:30 and no crabs. We decided to get appetizers and wait a bit more. We finish the appetizers. It’s 6 o’clock and no crabs. My mother is diabetic so she needs to eat soon. So we decided to order other fare. We placed our order and sure enough crabs arrive. I had no problem with any of this up to this point. I asked our very nice waitress that after our meal I would like 3 dozen steamed crabs to go. From my understanding you can get crabs to go from this establishment. She comes back and says «He» won’t do that. She said «He» was worried about having enough for Sunday. I couldn’t grasp what I was hearing. She asked several times and we were denied each request. I said is «He» in the business to make money or in the business to be an ***hole? Apparently not the first one. If I hadn’t been there too long already I would have ordered the 3 dozen to the table then said we’re full please pack these up. So if you decide to eat here just know you’ll get what they decide you should have.

In town for a 16u softball tourney and found this place around the corner from the hotel, what a gem, small and tight, but no wait and got a both and we really were only there to have a couple of beers. Friend got food (said was excellent) and the draft selection was good.

Fun, noisy bar. The bartenders are full of personality and the regulars are a raucous bunch. Raw or steamed oysters are dirt cheap during happy hour. This is not the place to get crabs (they are way over priced), but a good choice if you are in a good mood and want to be around fun people. Happy hour drink prices are also welcoming!

The food was not that great. Atmosphere was a little redneck and the beer selection not good at all the people where friendly. I had the hard shell crabs and they had no taste and clams that where a little rocky. I’m sure some people would love this place but it’s not for me.

Great wings, Pittsburgh salad with steak was tasty with homemade dressing and fabulous waitress. Super neighborhood place. Our second visit on our way thru town traveling. Definitely a must.

Here it is October and it was so warm that I started to sweat. The waitress said that it had been that way for weeks. It was litteraly unbearable. It must have been at least 85 degrees. Could not enjoy my meal or this place. Stay away.

Seafood soap, very salty I can’t even took a full sip. Cobb salad with crab is plain green iceberg lettuce with avocado slice onions and cucumber and fried tortilla come with small container of the your choice of dressing. Crab mushroom were not what expected it just a mushroom top with very little crab meat and cheddar cheese not so appetizing.

Very good wings steak and cheese good also

Came here with the family. My wife and kids had fun with the Keno and jukebox. The food was okay. Had the crab balls (lots of filler), and the club sandwich. The sandwich was fair but the fresh cut fries were awesome. I will be back to try the wings.

I have been going to the Stadium for over 12 years. I love this place. I have never had anything there I haven’t liked. The seafood and crabs are awesome. The staff is great, the prices are great, and the bar is great.
All in all you can not go wrong with the Stadium.

i recently introduced my wife to the stadium, She had never eaten here before. She ordered the steam pot and fell in love, everything with the exception of the oysters (where alittle gritty) were awazing. I ordered some of there wings which are some of the best ive ever had! This is definitly one of the best spots to eat around town!

I give Stadium Grill & Tavern 5 stars simply for the crabs. I have gotten crabs from a few spots in Hagerstown. They had the best quality crabs I have had thus far. They were large, meaty and seasoned well. I had been searching for crabs of equal quality like my favorite spot in Baltimore. They are similar in quality. I ordered the crabs to go, therefore I have no dining experience here. This is now my go to spot for crabs.

We’ve eaten here about 3 times. Oddly enough it’s the seafood that’s really the star. The landlubbers selections, even salad, is pretty mediocre.

Love this place in the summer. My favorite location for crabs and the outdoor patio is a great place to eat, drink, and unwind. They also have some of the biggest and best chicken wings in town.

Good crabs and nice, unpretentious bar. Good place to grab a cold brew and unwind after work. One of the better places for crabs in Hagerstown (maybe the best?).
