This place is timeless and little had changed in 75 years, thankfully! Don't look for a modern take on anything. Looking for a current menu on their web link, takes you to a My Space link. We come for the Crab Cakes and Fried Chicken, there are seasonal specialities but the cake and chicken are always on the menu, always the same and always delicious. Our secret to success here is carry-out, we take it home. While I love the quirky but delicious salad bar, the service can be more frustrating than helpful. Bar service is always great.

Edgewater has one of the best Maryland crab cakes around and not overpriced. The place isn't fancy, but well worth the trip if you're looking for great seafood.

Business as usual for ER. Ambiance, service and food is always on point. My main guy from DC but now live in the ATL was in town so I decided to corrupt his mind and palate with the best crab cake in the DMV and trust me he'll have PTSD once he returns home..LOL! We had an excellent lunch experience and got caught up with our sports talks!

This hidden gem looks like a house so you will definitely miss it if you're driving fast. Once you're inside you're immediately greeted by one of the staff and seated. Everyone is so friendly and you feel at home. There is a little table showing desserts(stay away until you get your food) it's deliciously presented and tempting. I ordered the double crab cakes with stewed tomatoes and all I can say is OMG! The picture doesn't do it justice! Not only was it delicious it was HUGE! I have the second one for lunch today! I had a lemonade to drink but there is a full bar. This is a place I would come to again and again just for the ambiance and the food! packed with lump crabmeat but it was seasoned well. My friend had the blackened stuffed Rockfish and that didn't disappointed our taste buds(could've had a little more seasoning) but overall it was delicious! They do have a small salad bar (I didn't partake) but it looked fresh and I did see it replenished a few times while we were there.

What a great place! Outstanding crabcakes and such a great price! Lots of other seafood to choose from too. I spent more than twice as much in Annapolis the night before. And the staff makes you feel at home and valued. I'll make a special trip to Edgewater just to go there! This is a favorite for the local obviously, but not so with tourists . No pretentious just great food.

Best crab cakes. Please see attached for a photo of the size of their crab cakes vs. the size of their baked potato. Huge, so much lump crab, no filler, so delicious. All of the employees were so friendly - you can tell it's a family establishment. 12/10 would recommend.

Great meals, friendly service, locally owned and operated. We had a great burger with fries and a crabcake with salad bar and green beans. Nice homey atmosphere. Best crabs cakes around.

Date Night! His favorite spot... never heard of it! Let's just say I was pleasantly surprised. It doesn't look like much from the outside, kinda out dated inside. The typical neighborhood spot. Friday night was a full house. The main area packed. That's a good sign that the food was going to be great! Absolutely. Delicious. Service, Great. Starters: Cream of Crab Soup? I'm not a soup fan but this was flavorful and FULL of lumps of sweet crab. Rockfish fingers? Fried strips of rockfish with a Cajun dipping sauce. Onions rings? So light an tasty not greasy at all. OMGoodness I could have stopped there but WHY?! I had the seafood plater broiled. Gigantic scallops, steamed shrimp, STUFFED SHRIMP, fried clams. The only thing that didn't make me feel loved was the twiced baked potato. Flat out NO. Don't get it. Get the fries. Fresh cut and delish. The fried stuffed shrimp were awesome as well. The green beans were pretty darn tasty in my opinion. Not over cooked or over seasoned. Coleslaw isn't offered as a side but was available on the salad which was very small but everything was fresh. It was very crowded, so an obvious choice by the regulars. We opted for the home made cup cakes for dessert to go because there was no way we could've eaten another single thing! This place might not have all the visual effects but it lacks absolutely nothing when it comes to amazing seafood. Ridiculous sized portions. Great wait staff. Definitely worth another visit.

Fun classic restaurant that's been around for decades. An old home turned family restaurant. The browned potato was something very different! A must try! Was glad to see clam strips on the menu as those are harder to find around here it seems and such a fun lunch item. Other than that, lots of fried seafood options if you're into that. Service was good. Salad bar decent too.
