We were traveling through the area and we asked a local where we could get a good crab cake and she recommended Edgewater. At first when we drove by the place looked like an dated restaurant but we decided to give it a try. The entire meal was incredible but the crab cake was outstanding. My only regret is that... More

As other reviewers have mentioned, the jumbo lump crabcakes were great. The best I have had! I also had the Shrimp and Sausage gumbo which was good.

We held our wedding reception here thirty-three years ago and our 30th anniversary. When I have people ask about the best crab cake I send them here. The cream of crab soup is award winning. Their seafood is always good and the chicken or steak great alternatives for the non seafood eaters. The family has been operating this restaurant for... More

I was craving a crab cake out of season, and having read that Edgewater Restaurant had the best, we went there for a treat. I must explain that I was taught how to make crab cakes by the wives of watermen in Galesville. Pure cakes with the claw meat (which is very sweet) included. I think the Restaurant cake was... More

Great seafood. Don't miss the jumbo lump crab cakes, they are enormous and the best around. The atmosphere is a little dark and outdated, but the food makes up for it. Parking can be a bear to deal with due to the small parking lot. This restaurant has a small salad bar which is probably half the size of most,... More

Whenever I visit Annapolis, I always go to the Edgewater to get lump crabcakes and fried okra. It's not pretty inside and the salad bar and beer selection are minimal but the service is friendly and reasonably fast. Get one crabcake unless you want to take one home.
