I have been searching for a great seafood joint for a long time and finally found it! The Crack Pot (in Towson... dont be confused with the Bel Air one that closed down!) is my new favorite place to go for some dinner and drinks with the wife or a night out with friends. The atmosphere is exactly what you would picture in ""old school"" crab-house. Its pretty awesome! I have loved the crabcakes everytime I have gone, but noticed a new item recently - The Shrimp Cake. I was hesitant to try it, but the price was so good I thought i'd give it a try - boy, am I thankful I did... It was so good its my new favorite dinner item! Everyone should give it a try... its that good! If you are looking for a delicious crabcake or hard crabs - this is the place to go! It is a true Baltimore Crab House and you won't regret your visit. I haven't tried much else on the menu yet, but hope to if I can ever get away from the Crab Cakes and Shrimp Cakes. I have had the wings and a burger which were both the best I've had in a while. Trust me - this is a place you want to go to feel right at home with a great meal. I have found the staff including the owner to be some of the kindest people I know and always so welcoming. They recognize you and make a point to say hello. It's a place you don't want to miss. Last time I was in the whole Towson Universirty Mens Lacrosse team was there and having a great time... it was packed. Hopefully I can still get my spot at the bar since the word seems to be spreading!
