Crabs in or around Annapolis (but not Cantler's)?

[chinaplate]

I wanted to host a group of ~20 for a 2pm birthday lunch with waterfront and crabs. I mis-read Cantler's web site and just found out today, they only do weekday reservations for big groups. Any recommendations for a place that would be fun and have enough ambiance to be party worthy?

Abner's in Chesapeake Beach.

Thanks! Can you tell me what the inside (only space available for a party our size) is like at Mike's? We know a few friends will have their kids and really want a pretty relaxed beachy feel over a fancy upright feel.

Its a typical crab house with bench sitting and a large open room laid back atmosphere call ahead to reserve your spot

Perfect. Thanks so much. I called and the manager was also super helpful and friendly.
