If you've never had *real* crab cakes, Michael's is THE place to try it. They're nearly softball-sized so very much worth the price and they have the perfect blend of seasoning. I grew up in B'more and moved around the country so trust me when I say no one outside of Maryland has a clue about crab cakes. There's no breading in these so it's 100% pure lump backfin crab meat - just the way crab cakes were intended. I come back to town several times a year and make a point to visit Michael's (yes, it's that good). On the last visit with my wife, I made a point to tell the server it was the best meal I've had in years. For lunch, we had the crab cake burger and the shrimp bisque was roll-your-eyes-in-back-of-your-head good.
Pros: Authentic B'more seafood, friendly atmosphere
Cons: NA
