Formerly Captain Jack’s on Rt. 29, a longstanding Fairfax County institution that was forced out by gentrification of its neighborhood. How good is it? You’re asking the wrong person. The crab I love is Chili or Pepper Crab in Singapore.
(If you like Chili Crab, check out the Singapore Chili Crab Festival held in NYC each summer.)
