The Crab Claw
Known as Navy Point, the area where The Crab Claw Restaurant stands, was originally a marsh that was filled in with discarded oyster shells. The business started in the 1950’s as The Eastern Shore Clam Company which was a clam and oyster shucking house. Local watermen came in daily with their catch of oysters, clams or crabs. In 1965, owners Bill and Sylvia Jones turned it into a restaurant called The Crab Claw which instantly became a St. Michaels Landmark. The Crab Claw Restaurant is still operated by the same family to this day. Open seasonally, please confirm hours.

Oct 9, 2026 · Google ReviewI'm sorry to say that this was their last summer season. They are closing and will be replaced by a new restaurant soon. Such an awesome time I had on my visit. First, and unfortunately the last since I was just in town to see my sis. Great job to everyone who worked there ! Good luck and hopefully you'll be at the new place that'll be opening.
