Dan Erdman, manager of Bob Chinn’s Crab House, said the restaurant was open again on Wednesday, after being closed for almost two days. And he said they’ve spent the past two days cleaning and sanitizing the restaurant “and working with the health department to make sure everything is ready to go, from codes to cleanliness; and we’ve done everything we can on our part.”
Erdman said Bob Chinn’s is marking its 30th anniversary this year. He said it is the fourth busiest restaurant in the country.
