    Four Seasons Grille
    Four Seasons Grille

    Gambrills is currently undergoing some big changes as of late.  First there came The Village at Waugh Chapel Shopping Center.  Now there is the Waugh Chapel Town Center being developed (which brings Wegman's to this neck of the woods!  Yyeeesssss!).  Not really much else around here, so you might as well get your shopping done, and then knock off for the rest of the day with some dinner and drinks.  Which brings us to the Four Seasons Grill -- an eclectic fusion of Mediterranean and American cuisine.  They've been around since 2006, and always seem to be packed.  So are they worth visiting for crab cakes?  Let's find out!

    The Lodge
    The Lodge

    While we may not have had much of a winter this past season, it's always winter over at The Lodge.  The central theme is winter ski lodge, complete with chair lifts for seats, wooden statues for some of the barstools, and lots of ski artifacts, such as signs, snowshoes, skis, etc.  Of course, when winter strikes, thoughts usually don't turn to crab cakes.  But, this is late spring, and crab season is upon us.  So should you brave the cold and snow to get your crab cakes?  Or stay in and keep warm by the fire?  Continue reading to see what we thought!

    Freddies Bel Air
    Freddies Bel Air

    Freddies in Bel Air has a striking resembelence 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 farily 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!!!

    Shoreline Seafood Regular Backfin Crab Cake
    Shoreline Seafood Regular Backfin Crab Cake

    Shoreline Seafood has been a local area landmark since 1981, providing fresh seafood for sale as well as food for carryout.  While the building isn't much to look at, walk inside and you'll experience an unexpected seafood market.  Everything from crabs to a wide assortment of fish to clams, mussels, and other fish you never thought you'd come face to face with. Certain items can be steamed onsite, or you can take it home and cook it yourself.  They do have steamers and seasonings available for sale, in case you decide to do some work yourself.  Carryout items cover a wide range of seafood delicacies, from sandwiches to soups to seafood salads.  On our visit, the backfin crab cake sandwich was on the lunch special board, so we decided to check it out.  How was it?  Read on and see for yourself!

    Boatyard Grill
    Boatyard Grill

    The Boatyard Grill is located over in the Eastport section of Annapolis, a sleepy little neighborhood frequented by sailors and populated by marinas.  Since 2001, the Boatyard Grill has focused on providing quality food that will keep you coming back again and again.  Their reputation is so good that Michelle Obama made a visit back in 2010, saying that their crab cakes were the best she's ever had.  So do they live up to the claim?  Read on and find out!

Welcome to the Review!

Baltimore and the surrounding area is best known for their delicious crab cakes.  Along with that notoriety comes the age old question:  Who has the best crab cake?  This question has often been the source of many a heated debate, and probably started a fight or three.  The answer is highly subjective.  

 

Therefore, our goal is to bring the crab cakes to you through a visual and documentary approach.  While we may offer an opinion or two, hopefully we give you enough information to decide whose crab cakes you would like to try on your next visit to the area!  Enjoy!
