Frye’s Famous Crab Cake Co.

The fried cod has a unique, light batter. Perhaps salt and pepper? It comes with hush puppies - which were excellent - and one side. The fish was superb and the tartar sauce was just what you'd expect. I went with the seasoned fries which were only lightly seasoned. Note the ketchup pack for a frame of reference on the size of the fish in the second picture. Cute place with very attentive staff.

The ambiance was very Maryland kitchen feel for crab lovers. The decor was one of the absolute best things about my first time visit. Upon entering there was a nasty bathroom smell that was across the entire restaurant. The young lady was very accommodating, gracious and kind. She gave me ample time to decide on my options as well as explaining the sides (bacon in the potato salad, seafood pasta salad, etc). I'll have to look again but I only saw and tasted shrimp in the seafood salad after taking 2 or so bites. Both salads had way too much binder (mayo or...) as the photos will show. The crab cake was salty to me but the shrimp were more salty than they should have been. I brought them both back and they prepared both again. Shrimp was better but the crab cake was still salty and more shells in it than the first one. The hush puppies have corn in them which I loved and that was my 2nd favorite thing during my visit. Sadly, I won't return but I do wish them well.

Absolutely amazing! Food was fresh and hot! The owners were handling the counter for lunch rush, amazing! Truly a family owned business with the best crab cakes I’ve had in years! We will be back!!

Giving 2 stars because we got the Goliath crab cakes and was super disappointed to have a piece of the shell in each bite. For the amount we paid, I expect to have little to no shells in my crab cakes. Utterly disappointing. Took away the joy of eating the crab cakes because every bite literally had a piece of the shell. I’d rather drive the hour to Jerry’s Seafood and get my crab cakes there! The coleslaw and potato salad were ok. Nothing to write home about. The shrimp pasta salad was AMAZING! A must try! Clam chowder is also very good!
