Twin Silos Restaurant Crab Cake Sandwich Twin Silos Restaurant Crab Cake Sandwich Crab Cake Review

Twin Silos Restaurant is located at Geneva Farm Golf Course in Street, MD. Haven't heard of Street? It's near Rocks State Park in Harford County, and is located on, you guessed it, a farm! (Not a working farm, so don't worry about cows and chickens on the course.) On premise is a restaurant that delivers upscale, yet homestyle, dining. Friend of the Review Rick F. had tipped us off on this location earlier in the year, and Twin Silos bills their crab cake as a "culinary hole in one". Was the crab cake worth a country drive on the back roads? Let's find out!

Twin Silos Restaurant offers a few different menu items featuring crab cakes, and their crab cake entrees offer you two different sizes - 4 and 6 oz. Combo platters are also available, like the 4 oz. Cake and Fried Shrimp, Surf & Turf, and the Fisherman's Catch. Entrees are served with your choice of two sides and dinner rolls. Sandwiches aren't forgotten about: the crab cake sandwich comes in 4 or 6 oz sizes on a kaiser roll or crackers. Or try the Crab Melt, which is a crab cake topped with provolone cheese, served on an English muffin. Our review was for a 6 oz. crab cake on crackers.

Twin Silos' crab cake binds mostly broken pieces of crab along with a mayonnaise-based binder, along with a little bit of breadcrumbs and spices. There were a few large lumps of crab mixed in, but for the most part, it was broken up.

The crab used was nice and sweet, very good quality. Binder had a smooth, creamy texture to it while remaining neutral in flavor. The spicing was on the peppery side, but we liked it. It compliments the sweetness of the crab very well, while allowing the crab to be featured. Overall, an excellent crab cake that we would agree could be considered a "culinary hole in one"!
