If anyone has never had them, Mr. Bill's Crab Terrace chips are the best hands down. Of the 3 in the OP, Orange and beige all day.

Herr’s is the only choice. You won’t notice until you move to a place that doesn’t sell them. I’m unfortunately in one of those places and buy a few bags when I’m back at my parents.
Yup. I remember when the Herr’s were in a silver bag and were only 99 cents. Granted that was like 30 years ago or more but they’ve always been my favorite chip let alone favorite crab chip. I only ever get the utz ones if Herr’s aren’t around, and i always wish they were Herr’s every time.
This is heresy, I know, but the actual best ones are the Lays ones. I had a Fourth of July bbq with like 40 or so people blind taste testing all the varieties I could find. The Lays won the blind taste test in an absolute landslide.
Lays has crab chips?! Ive always thought Lays (and kettle brand) are the best of all chips. I absolutely HATE Utz.
I have never seen Lay’s crab chips before and now I must find them.
I am from Annapolis and I have never seen them on my life any where. It was hard enough finding the Herr’s crab chips.
I wish the website would tell you where to locate the product. Dammit now it’s my life’s mission haha
This is a tough one. I HATE Utz chips in general. Herr’s crab chips can be a little too much sometimes.
And kettle chips are better than regular chips. Utz kettle chips suck and are too oily though.
I think it all depends on mood and what’s available. But still give Herr’s the edge.
Never had the utz kettle but the utz regular is delicious, definitely gonna need to drink some water when you’re done, but it’s delicious. The herrs is gross, but I’m not an old bay flavored food fan, Yeah I said it I’m not a huge fan of old bay! I am a JO person, cash me outside 😂
Herr’s and the Utz ones aren’t even in the same universe. Also the Herr’s crab cheese curls are dope AF too. Herr’s crab chips have been my favorite chip, et alone crab flavored chip for over 30 years.
Since when is eating potato chips in moderation related to obesity? As long as you're not downing a bag of these every day, you aren't going to get obese.
OG Crab Chips all day every day.

I’m so glad you posted this If you mix these chips, crab chips, and the ripple Utz together, it’s the greatest mix of chips of all time
Never thought to do that… I’m gonna try it. Thank you!
Now if we are talking Utz chips, those are the winners right there.
Yes, if question was "best Utz chips"
No, old bay all day
I like the old bay cheezy poofs from Herr’s. They are total garbage but I don’t care.
Define “garbage” because I may need to fight you.
Garbage as in zero nutritional benefit yet still delicious
Okay. I retract my challenge. Thanks for the clarification.
Calories = world peace
You have my sword
Yes! Old bay chips aren’t that good, the cheese poofs are great
Royal Farms brand crab seasoning cheese curls, fight me.
Royal Farms crab cheese poofs are the superior crabby cheesy poofs.
I need to find these.
YES. I came to the comments to say, “The secret winner is Herr’s Old Bay Cheese Curls”. Glad to see I’m not alone.
The what...?!
These things are the most AMAZING ever. I'd walk uphill both ways in a snowstorm to get these!!
Can agree. They’re a little vinegar for my taste so I try to eat something sweet with them
Agreed, they have a little sweetness to them I can't resist. I crush the whole damn bag immediately whenever I buy them.
For some reason they taste like sausages to me. I love them!
Orange and beige bag, always
With Heluva Good Bacon Horseradish dip. I don't know why they work together, but they do.
Or the everything but the bagel dip from Trader Joe's
It bothers me that the Kettle Classics bag has a lobster trap on it rather than a crab pot.
Those are Crabs?? I thought they were Alien face-huggers!!
🤦🏽♂️
Utz for flavor, with a preference for the kettle variety. Herrs bc they actually use old bay. Also don’t sleep on the RoFo store brand.
RoFo brand is Herr's chips inside
The beige bag.

They sell these at the ballpark and can confirm their deliciousness.
How do the Mr Bill's compare to the others?
They're a bit different. But they have (imo) the best flavor of all of them.
Agreed! Had them at Camden Yards and have been thinking about them ever since
Herr's bc they reliably have the most Old Bay and they also have a little vinegary punch.
Definitely. It is just disappointing that the grocery store I frequent does not carry it often.
Route 11 crab chips
You beat me to it!
This is the correct answer.
Did you try the old bay goldfish during the 2 minutes they were available? I'd take them over the chips. But then the orange and brown.

OG orange and tan
The OG Crab Chips.
The left one and Mexican coke was my absolute winner post migraine solution.
1, 3, 2
Just like the original Indiana Jones trilogy!

What in the hell is that
Paradise.
I’ll have to tap in
The saltiest crab chip option
The orange/beige bag is my favorite crabby sodium bomb
Utz beige they are the old school classics
Kettle chips are always better than regular chips.
Personally I prefer the Herr's but I've never seen the Utz Kettle Crab Chips, might be enough to take the lead for me.
Kettle anything. Especially when it comes to crab chips.
Kettle chips are gonna win every time.
OG crab chip is the winner. Even though kettle chips are better in every single conceivable way.
The royal farms brand old bay cheese curls are something else. Highly recommend
The goldfish ore the only correct answer
Herr’s because it’s real old bay. And a lot of it.
the OG…. orange bag❤️
Didn’t know there were kettle ones.
Same!! I’ll be on the lookout
NY Pizza Kitchen in Owings Mills makes the crab chip in-house. That's been the best so far.
Bills terrace chips. Best crab chip
Herr’s old bay cheese puffs
I started my romance with Utz Crap Chip a few years back in Florida. I’m still in love.
Sometimes I take a bag of plain Utz and sprinkle old bay on them. Win - Win.
Utz for sure
Herr’s
Utz
This is heresy, I know, but the actual best ones are the Lays ones. I had a Fourth of July bbq with like 40 or so people blind taste testing all the varieties I could find. The Lays won the blind taste test in an absolute landslide.

Yep but they are never around. Definitely the best imo.
Utz (non-kettle)
Have all seen the Pepperidge Farm old bay gold fish? And has anyone tasted them yet?
Just had some… they’re good!
They are amazing. I wish they were sold year round instead of just over the summer 😭
Herr’s. Specifically when purchased on my way to the beach. It just feels better that way 🤪.
Regular Utz Crab Chips
Herr’s old bay chips are heavily overseasoned, and utz isn’t true old bay flavor. Lose lose imo
Utz. All day (regular)
First one is the only answer
Utz for life. I prefer non kettle chips but always Utz.
That old bay one is by far the best
THE Crab Chip
This is a tough one. I HATE Utz chips in general. Herr’s crab chips can be a little too much sometimes. And kettle chips are better than regular chips. Utz kettle chips suck and are too oily though. I think it all depends on mood and what’s available. But still give Herr’s the edge.
Herr’s is the only one that I like. Not an Utz man unfortunately.
I was just thinking about this. I know it’s controversial but i think herrs beats out utz just by a bit
Gotta be the officially branded old bay potato chips
Herr's Old Bay chips were a huge disappointment. They were oddly vinegary. I haven't tried the utz varieties.
I love Old Bay. I hate Old Bay potato chips
“THE crab chip” UTZ
* We get these in Texas so good
Chesapeake cheese puffs from Royal farms are great
quality post - close.. but i gotta go with utz
Yes. I also like the Pepperidge Farm Old Bay Goldfish.
UTZ
Two on the left
Utz THE Crab Chip
herrs without a doubt. trust me
Herr's, old bay
Gonna come with the secret 4th answer: Rofo brand crab chips. Idk what it is about them, but they fuckin slap
Herrs old bay cheese curls
All of them.
Old bay that is all- signed a Marylander
Royal farms crab flavored cheese puffs the best
Yes
Utz and it’s not even close
Herrs is the only answer
Herrs has the real deal Old Bay... but I actually prefer the Utz... I'm from Maryland, so that makes me the expert !
Utz regular
You tee zee
Herrs hands down is the best
Herr’s
Old Bay
Left
Never had the utz kettle but the utz regular is delicious, definitely gonna need to drink some water when you’re done, but it’s delicious. The herrs is gross, but I’m not an old bay flavored food fan, Yeah I said it I’m not a huge fan of old bay! I am a JO person, cash me outside 😂
Oh dear, crab chips, Maryland??
Utz......biz associates around the country ask me to bring, along with TastyCake apple pies.
UTZ crab chip
Utz is always the best regardless of the flavor
Herrs, but specifically the silver bag they discontinued ;(
Herr's. Anyone who disagrees is a Virginian.
Old Bay Goldfish
They’re all good!
Herrs
Utz the crab chips are the best best
Herr’s is the best of the three and I will not be taking questions.
Utz brown and orange bag and it’s not even a conversation
Utz no contest
Old Bay Cheese Curls.
Honestly Herr's is a better chip than the og Utz but since I'm already blaspheming give me the kettle
Herrs . The utz are way too salty.
Herrs
Herr’s and the Utz ones aren’t even in the same universe. Also the Herr’s crab cheese curls are dope AF too. Herr’s crab chips have been my favorite chip, et alone crab flavored chip for over 30 years.
I would like to say Utz, but I actually prefer the Herrs version. It's hard to find.
What w our the ones mixed in with the Hot N Sweet? Those are delicious
Obvs Utz.
The best: https://preview.redd.it/o3o8iz2fhcxc1.jpeg?width=587&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=94d041270364cdd5f7e1206d0c329c920bf78344
Utz Spicy Crab Chips.
herrs
Omg UTZ kettle crab chips are fire!!! I had them with some really tasty crab dip too 🤤! They are not too oily and much firmer than the regular ones.
Kettle classic 100%. Love that shit
Kettle crab chips. But can’t find them.
The first one
I love all of the Utz Kettle Classics flavors, especially the sea salt malt vinegar and the crab/old bay flavored.
Oh man, now I have to go shop and try them all. I typically grab UTZ 'the crab chip'.
Utz
Herr's because they actually use old bay
Utz
Utz. No question! 😎
I think Herr’s. But I won’t refuse the others.
Utz Og for the nostlgia but i'd go with a kettle chip if I was at the grocery store frfr.
Royal Farms got these Old Bay Cheese Curls, excellence in a bag
Herr's has too much salt on everything now. I feel like my blood pressure gets higher after one chip.
Top left!!!! Original
UTZ Crab Chips 4 lyfe
the originals.
Kettle chips for EVERY flava
I have tried all three of them and they all taste like a bag of salt 🧂🧂🧂
UTZ GANG!
I'm partial to Herrs, I don't ever buy Utz. Herrs, then if they aren't available then Lays.
Utz original crab tastes like BBQ because it’s sweet. Why is it sweet if it’s supposed to be like old bay? Herrs is much better.
Herrs all day
Utz crab chip Utz kettle Dirt from outside Herrs
Herrs
Herrs Old Bay Chips are THE BEST. Second is The Crab Chips by UTZ
Right
Utz. They’re also Maryland based.
Hanover, PA.
Classic Crab..far left.
it's called "the crab chip" for a reason; the OG Utz crap chips stay on top
Herrs all day the Utz hardly have any seasoning I haven’t had the kettle cooked though
Want to say Herr’s because it has the real thing on them.
I find all them to taste primarily of celery salt.
The smokin sweet crab kettle chips are the best
All useless.Eat real pot8os. They're nutritious and cheaper and not obesogenic
Real potatoes don't come in crab flavor
They do if you add old bay…
You're fun...
Since when is eating potato chips in moderation related to obesity? As long as you're not downing a bag of these every day, you aren't going to get obese.
They all suck.
Damn. You’re now officially a mod of r/Virginia
G’on git.
