Weekly reviews of crab cakes around the MD and DC area

The All-American Steakhouse & Sports Theatre

The All-American Steakhouse & Sports Theatre is a regional chain with 3 locations in VA and 2 in MD.  Featuring wet and dry aged corn-fed midwestern beef, along with all of your other bar favorites, you won't have any excuse not to be hungry when you walk in. The kitchen is located right near the door, so you get smacked with a waft of sizzling beef the second you step in. Which isn't a bad thing, honestly. And try as we might, we didn't let that deter us from what we're really after -- crab cakes! Were they as delicious as the steaks smelled? Let's find out!

The Point in Fells

The Point in Fells is where you might remember Miss Irene's being located. What used to be a dive bar has since transformed into a large, two-level casual (but upscale) restaurant and bar. Family owned and operated, The Point offers white tablecloths upstairs, and regular bar and casual seating downstairs. Catch them on the right night, and there will be live music in the bar area as well. Their location on the corner of Thames and Ann St provides plenty of outdoor seating during the warmer months, where you can enjoy a beverage and watch the world go by. Just be sure not to drool at the delicious plates going by, most notably the crab cake. Should you make a point to stop by The Point? Read on and see for yourself!

The Crab Cab

There are a few great things to love about food trucks. They tend to focus on one thing and do it well; you get affordable culinary-quality food; and they move about, so if you have someplace nearby where you work, say like Farragut Square, you get the best food court you could ask for that constantly changes. While on such a food truck adventure, we came across The Crab Cab, who is relatively new to the DC food truck scene. They bill themselves as a 5-star mobile "restaurant" who is affordable, and uses the freshest ingredients. Not only that, but they also cater. The Twittersphere has nothing but good things to say about The Crab Cab, so we decided to check them out. Was it as "crabtastic" as they say? Let's find out!

One-Eyed Mike's

Home of the world's first Grand Mariner Club! Located off of the beaten path in historic Fell's Point, One Eyed Mike's strives to be the friendliest bar you've ever walked into. Their motto is "you're only a stranger here but once" and they mean it. You'll always be greeted and asked your name, and we don't know how they do it, but they always seem to remember. You may never make it past the bar, with walls lined with bottles of GM. But if you do, you'll notice that this isn't just a bar, but a restaurant, too, with some pretty creative and upscale cuisine. Crab cakes are on their menu, so we set sail for OEM's. Read on to see if we found crabby treasure!
