Great Crab Cakes. I have been to this restaurant several times and the crab cakes are excellent. The service is good. The salad bar is mediocre. The one thing that I have never seen in any restaurant that freaks me out is the bathrooms are in the dining room. That Is just so sick! Why don’t they build a wall around them or something? It’s disgusting.
Huge lump crab cake lightly broiled with giant pieces of delish crab. Wonderfully sweet cole slaw and chopped beets at a simple but clean salad bar. Melt in your mouth hot rolls to boot. They were slammed at lunch on a Saturday but well worth the wait. I will drive again from Washington DC for this crab!
Love the fran cakes and browned potatoes.
Good crab cakes for the price. The service was great. The salad bar was lackluster at best- iceberg lettuce and nothing special. The ambiance was not fancy but comfortable. Crab cakes were large and good for the price (2 large cakes with 2 sides $16.00). I wouldn’t say that those are the best crab cakes I’ve had. Crab soup had plenty of crab.
Extreme crabcakes!!!!!!!. I see I’m not the only person who thinks these are the best crabcakes in the world.I grew up in Maryland, eating crabcakes prepared by my mom and grandma. They were purists and made some fine ones, no filler, just enough binder to hold them together. They are the standard against which I judge crabcakes. I’ve traveled a lot, eaten things that purport to be crabcakes across the U.S., Australia and in Europe. There have been some interesting variants like French nouvelle cuisine crabcakes, and some places in southern Maryland and Louisiana have been almost as good as grandma’s.But the Edgewater Restaurant’s crabcakes would make my gran put away her frying pan. First of all, they’re made with blue crab meat. There are lots of crab species on this planet, but I can attest after eating many that blue crab is the best. At Edgewater, you can order lump meat crabcakes that show off this species’ meat to its full glory, with no extra filler, or red bell pepper or any other gimmicks used to extend this pricey foodstuff.Edgewater Restaurant also cooks their crabcakes perfectly — a bit of crunch on the outside, golden brown all over, but not dry inside. Plus, you can order HUUUUUUGE crabcakes. I had a hard time getting through my jumbo lump cake, it was that massive. If you time it right for their weekly special, you can get two of the regulars for a bargain price, complete with sides like their fried okra — also excellent — or their massive re-baked potatoes.Another notable is the restaurant’s crab soup. This is made with a hit of sherry, like the old-fashioned she-crab soup. It’s as thick as a bisque, full of sweet crab flavour and chunks of crab meat. Next to a now-defunct restaurant in Fort Myers, Florida that had the world’s best lobster bisque, this is the greatest shellfish soup I’ve ever encountered.The Edgewater Restaurant doesn’t have a fancy name or website. The building is kind of a throwback to the way I remember Maryland from the 1960s. The place has been around for quite a while. But I would urge you to eat there as fast as you can. Since humanity is killing off crab habitats in the Chesapeake Bay and Gulf of Mexico, and money-grubbing greed is ruining many good dining experiences, a place this good just CAN’T last, can it?
I’ve eaten a lot of crab cakes in various wter-front establishments. Nobody comes close to this place. Best crab cakes around, especially if you don’t like heavily breaded fried crab cakes.
Best Crab Cakes – Period. I’ve tried them all and Edgewater has the best crab cakes you’ll find. The place is nothing fancy, but who cares when you have great crab cakes. Go and enjoy.
