Mikes on the Riva river

It doesn't have the atmosphere of being on the water but Bethesda Crab House on Arlington rd in Bethesda has excellent crabs and a child friendly menu if they eat fried shrimp, crab cake, tater tots and hushpuppies. Menu is online. It's not worth the traffic to drive to the bay for me and I think the Bethesda crabs are better anyway. He also obtains Louisiana crabs which I prefer until the bay ones have a chance to get bigger in late summer/fall.

Looking for places other than Cantlers and ideally on this side of the bridge. Kid friendly, too (though imagine most are).

Want steamed crabs but a menu that has a few other options is a plus.

Thank you!
