| - Being a native Virginian, I was introduced to crabs at a young age....in fact, we didn't have ice cream trucks that came through the neighborhood, we had crab trucks serving up steamed or fried crabs.......so I think I know a thing or two about crabs and WOOHOO! The real deal seafood has arrived. There's a new sheriff in town, and until today the best crab cake I had ever had was in Hanover, MD at G&M........ the crab cake king now resides in the QC....yes I said it! My review covers 2 days.......forget what you heard, you can never have too much of a good thing:-)
The crab cake......I can't even describe the seasoning of this work of art, you just have to experience it yourself....huge lumps of blue crab put together with absolutely no filler, pan fried to perfection......where am I again? yep, out of body experience good!
The lemonade....to call their signature drink 'lemonade' is a terrible injustice, it's so much better than that! It doesn't have that 'twangy' aftertaste that I hate about lemonade at other places........I heard the owner call it 'lemon crack.'.........get some, you'll thank me later....
The garlic crabs.......oh the garlic crabs.......a saucey mess but oh so good!
The sauteed tilapia........cooked with the same sauce that is on the garlic crabs(I think) and melt in your mouth good!
Fried shrimp....comes with the crab cake platter along with corn, hush puppies, fried potato slices and slaw(all made in house except the slaw).......as the previous reviewer said 'finger lickin good'!
If you're still in doubt, I overheard a customer say that they came to order crabs one night but the restaurant had lost power an hour before closing and couldn't take any orders because of course they couldn't see........but they cook with gas......the customers decided to shine their high beam lights from their cars into the restaurant so that the owners could prepare their orders...........you be the judge!
It's takeout only but I didn't even make it out the door before my styrofoam top was open and I was enjoying my food standing at the counter with the owner's.......as they were asking me what I thought about the food......I could only moan and shake my head in response.... needless to say, my plate was empty in no time. Yelper's, do yourself a favor and go....now!
