Costas Inn
Is it truly necessary to drive to Dundalk to feast on steamed crabs? Oh, my, yes it is, if you want a reliable source of good crabs at not crazy prices. Costas Inn does many things well--crab cakes are also eminently worthwhile, and the steak Triantaphilos, a 12-ounce New York strip steak sporting a generous sombrero of lumpy, creamy crab imperial, is heartstoppingly good. But Costas Inn really shines when the always-efficient waitresses spread the table with brown paper and dump out the tray of big, fat, heavy crabs crusted in Costas' proprietary rock salt-studded crab spice.
