Retail = any & all seafood (we sell for home preparation - we were a farm & seafood market 1998-2006 carrying on my dad’s fresh seafood business he started from his truck in 1970. We morphed into a Crabshack in 2006 due to zoning regulations & opened Lowry’s Crab Shack September 2007 at the Planet Wayside location we are now.

Donald - born & raised Dairy farmer - lifetime volunteer member Lovettsville Fire & Rescue. Leslies background - 1981-1983 Forensic Laboratory for Northern Virginia Crime lab (secretary), 1983 - 1998 Loudoun County General District Court, Supervisor Financial Division.

We have a 41 year old multi disabled son (autism, seizures, ocd, adhd, 4th nerve palsy, paralyzed vagus nerve, chronic DVT’s, chronic Venus insufficiency, Factor V Leiden blood clotting disorder, separation anxiety, tic disorder, & I’m sure I missed something because his medical & psychological needs are our primary reason for being a family business. He is the most honest person you will ever meet. His likes are Dallas Cowboys, Washington Nationals, Chase Elliott, Ho***rs & being the #1 Fan for the Purcellville Cannons.

Family business vs corporate no comparison. We learn as we go. We learn by our mistakes.

We apologize in advance of not meeting expectations but appreciate all feedback good and not so good. Sharing shows you care.

Word of mouth is the best advertisement- we are only as good as our reputation.

🌻Mothers Day - May 10th. Have you made plans yet? Busiest day of the year for restaurants. Please plan ahead wherever you decide to celebrate mom. Party sizes are larger, & we all want it to be a celebratory day. Get on the book for your mother/wife/etc. At least full moon shouldn’t play a significant role this year (shed). Crabs shed first full moon in May so by May 10th we should have soft shells & nice fat crabs.
🍰 Please order soon to ensure your mom’s favorite slice. (Caramel, Red Velvet, Coconut, carrot, or chocolate). Cakes are fresh from Smith Island & we are proud to be a chosen distributor.
