What Happened to Obrycki's Crab House and Seafood Restaurant?

Man v. Food, Season 2 Baltimore, Maryland

Current status

Closed

As of October 2026, Obrycki's Crab House and Seafood Restaurant has closed — confirmed via the business's own closure notice, September 8, 2026.

What the source shows: A 2026-09-08 site check found obryckis.com describing Obrycki's as operating solely from a BWI Airport concourse counter and unable to duplicate the original restaurant's feel, and Google's listing flags the Pratt Street location as permanently closed.

What happened after Man v. Food?

Man v. Food visited Obrycki's Crab House and Seafood Restaurant near Fells Point in Baltimore, Maryland, in an episode that aired on 2009-10-28, featuring the restaurant's steamed blue crabs and crab cake platters. Obrycki's traced its roots to a bar established in Fells Point in 1944, according to the restaurant's own website. A 2026-09-08 check of obryckis.com found no reference to the Pratt Street restaurant featured in the episode; the site instead described Obrycki's operating from a single counter at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport, Concourse B, with a note that the original restaurant's "authentic crab house" feel could not be duplicated elsewhere.

Google Places lists the Pratt Street location's business status as permanently closed as of the 2026-09-08 data pull. Together, the airport-only site content and the Places status indicate the Fells Point-area restaurant featured on the show is no longer operating at that address.
