Editorial Review

The Food section rated this restaurant's crab cake for a July 2009 story about the area's best.

After 55 years in business, Mike's has its crab cake down pat. Each one is hand-formed of lump crab, buttery bread crumbs and Mike's own -- "better," said our server -- version of Old Bay, then broiled or fried. The price is right, but the lump meat that comes from around the globe can't compete with its similarly priced jumbo peers. These were the best in this group, for sure. But at Mike's, the steamed crabs are the draw.

Two 6- to 8-ounce lump crab cakes, $21.95

(July 29, 2009)

One of the worst places to eat in Annapolis

Posted by Kondurpawaq | Aug 24, 2009 | Mark as Inappropriate

I have to disagree with this review. As an Annapolis resident, I can say this is the worst restaurant in the city, with the worst food and probably the worst service I ever had. The crab cakes were awful, and the waitress and hostess were rude as well. There are plenty of places to go for crabs in Annapolis, don't waste your money here.

A Kid Friendly Treat

Loved it!

The food is great and the price is reasonable (hey its seafood). The service is pretty fast and are very nice. You have the choice of eating indoors or out with a nice view of the river and waterfront property. I especially love the calamari, crab, rockfish...just about everything.
