Description: No Baltimore guide would be worth its paper and ink without including G & M and their crab cakes. They’re spectacular. They’re huge. Two of them with salad, sides, etc., are probably less expensive than I can buy the crab meat alone ($16.95 single, $23.95 double—good for at least one more meal at home). I promise myself every time I go there that I will order something else because if the crab cakes are that good, just imagine how good the seafood, chops, and other items are. I never waiver. I even suggest that people flying through BWI Marshall allow enough time to catch a ride to the restaurant, order to go or have a meal, and then continue on their flight.What has changed is the décor. It now has a two-story sports bar, multiroom dining hall, and the take-out counter. Just because you can’t get to Linthicum doesn’t mean you have to suffer. Go to the Web site and order the crab balls to be shipped to you.
