When a restaurant’s crab cakes have more actual crab than filler, you know you’ve found something special, and Schultz’s Crab House in Essex, Maryland has been proving this point since the early 1950s.
You’ve probably driven past a hundred restaurants claiming to have the “best” crab cakes in Maryland, which is a bit like everyone in Lake Wobegon claiming to be above average.
The difference is that Schultz’s doesn’t need to make loud claims because their jumbo lump crab cakes speak for themselves, and what they’re saying is pretty darn delicious.
This Essex institution sits in its brick building like it’s always been there, because frankly, it has been there longer than most of us have been alive…
