Crab Cake Cafe

The Crab Cake Cafe brings a new twist to a Maryland favorite.  Located across from Annapolis High School, this establishment combines the tradition of Maryland crab with different flavors found around the country.  Everything is made fresh on the premise from scratch, ensuring the best flavor and highest quality.  Their slogan says it all "Local flavors....twisted".  Crab cake flavor inspirations come from places such as Texas, Hawaii, and New Orleans.  But fret not, the Maryland classic is still available, which is where we decided to start.  Do they truly capture the flavor of the Chesapeake?  Let's read on and find out!

Del Frisco's

Del Frisco's is a nationwide collection of steakhouses that draws its inspiration from the distinctive personalities, character and architectural design of the cities they inhabit.  For example, the Philadelphia location is in the old First Pennsylvania Bank building, and contains a three-story wine tower looming over the main bar.  With multiple levels and the spectacular architectural design of an old bank, the restaurant truly is inspiring.  And while their focus is mostly on steak, they do have some seafood on offer as well, with one particular appetizer catching our eye.  Follow along as we continue this culinary adventure!

The Double T is a 50's style diner with 8 locations around the Baltimore area, half of which are open 24 hours a day.

At the diner, you'll find more than just breakfast -- they serve everything from breakfast, salads, sandwiches, crab cakes, pastas, and Greek specialties. Wait, what? Diner crab cakes? That's what we said, but that is also what intrigued us to stop by and check them out. Read along to find out how they were!

Freddies Bel Air

Freddies in Bel Air has a striking resemblance to Dead Freddies in Ocean City.  Both have pirate theming, the logo is the same, and both have a pirate ship for the kiddies to play on.  But this Freddie isn't so dead.  Connection theories aside, the fact of the matter is:  you're not "downy ocean, hon!"  Nope.  You're in Bel Air.  But just because you can't make the trek across the Bay Bridge doesn't mean that you still don't have a hankering for a crab cake.  Luckily,  Freddie has your back (along with a fairly large outside patio area).  So does Freddie deliver on his crab cakes?  Or does this menu item need to walk the plank?  Ahoy, maties!  Come aboard, if you dare, and set sail for the land of crab cake reviews!  Aaarrr!!!
