Costas Inn was opened in 1971 by husband-wife duo Costas N. Triantafilos and Tsambika Kefalas, who immigrated from Greece to the U.S.

The crab house at 4100 Northpoint Blvd. has since hosted celebrities like Orioles legend Cal Ripken Jr., "Seinfeld" actor Jason Alexander and "Saturday Night Live" comedians Michael Che and Colin Jost.
