Slices Pizzeria, located in Bel Air Plaza Shopping Center, is devoted to customer service and excellence. Using only the finest ingredients, Slices makes each item fresh and made to order. Pizzerias aren't typical for offering crab cakes, but this is Maryland, so anything is possible! We've had the pizza from Slices before, and it was pretty decent. So follow along with us to see if their crab cakes follow suit!
The Sly Horse Tavern has been around since 1985, located on Crofton's Village Green. The restaurant may look like a historic house from the 18th century, but it is really a replica of Colonial Williamsburg's Raleigh Tavern. They bill themselves as "modern American" cuisine, even if the menu has a bit of a German influence. Just don't ask about the name -- it's a secret they aren't willing to share. But one secret the CCR is willing to share is their crab cakes. How were they? Read on!
The Stanford Grill is a relatively new location in Columbia, having opened up about a year or two ago. As they say, food is their passion, and they pride themselves on fresh, handpicked ingredients, prepared in an open-air kitchen. Unless you've heard about it, you may not even know where this place is, seeing as how it is tucked away behind the trees. But once you find it, you'll be greeted with great ambiance and a culinary adventure. So how did the crab cakes turn out? Read along and see for yourself!
Remember Freddies in Bel Air? Sure, we all do. Well, they closed down in April 2013 and sat vacant for quite a while. Then, earlier this year, we saw the Steelefish Grille was going to open in it's place. Members of the Steele family used to be part owners of the old Freddies (as well as the Hickory Lodge down the street). Now they are reopening a new seafood restaurant in its place. Freddie's used to have a really good crab cake, so we had to see if the Steelefish Grille could also deliver. Read on to see what we thought!
According to local legend (or the About page of their website), Stoney Creek Inn actually started out as Bill's Seafood Carry-out and Crabs, way back in 1998. It wasn't until 2001 that Bill and his family opened a full service restaurant at the Inn's present location. Aside from making a point to provide quality food, they also serve Maryland crabs during the crab season. Their food is so good that Guy Fieri visited the joint in 2008 to tape Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. Will their crab cakes also take us to Flavortown? Let's find out!
