Obrycki's has been a blue-crab-eater's destination and Baltimore landmark since 1944, but 2011 will be the final season for the famed restaurant. Obrycki's is currently closed for the winter, as is usual for them, and they plan to reopen on March 15, 2011 for their final year in business.
In his Roadfood.com review, Michael Stern said Obrycki's is "spectacularly good" and "a Chesapeake Bay classic all adventurous eaters need to try."
Obrycki's also has two airport locations, and they will remain in business. Here is their statement, from their website:
Dear Friends of Obrycki's,
After being located in Baltimore City for 65 years, and our family being the “new” owners for 35 years, we have decided to pursue other ventures. So next season, 2011, will be our last at our Pratt Street location.
Over the years we have grown considerably, with locations at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport and Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Currently, we have two additional locations under development and more opportunities on the horizon.
We have deep roots in Baltimore and would never consider closing without notice. We would like to give everyone the opportunity to continue to visit this location for one more season. This announcement is timed to coincide with the holiday season, since Obrycki's gift cards are a popular holiday gift. In consideration of this, we are discontinuing gift card sales.
As the owners of the building, we are discussing potential uses for our location, possibly even a new restaurant which will feature Obrycki’s crabs and crab cakes, among other items.
Thank you for your support over the years. We look forward to seeing you this coming season at Pratt Street, and at our other locations in the future.
The Cernak Family

Great new website design by the way. Very easy to follow and the photos really "pop".
