The Crab Galley has been around for as long as the CCR can remember. They are family-owned local seafood carryout establishment, specializing in steamed crabs and other seafood.

So are they masters of the crab cake, or should you just stick to ordering crabs? Find out inside!
Jack's Bistro is located right around the corner from O'Donnell Square in Canton, and bills itself as offering innovative American cuisine. Innovative is most certainly right!

If you can't figure out what to have for dessert, they are known for their peanut butter and jelly shots. So now that everyone is drooling, let's get back to our focus here -- crab cakes! Wipe the drool on your leave, and read on to see how the experience was!

But one secret the CCR is willing to share is their crab cakes. How were they? Read on!
