G & M Crab Cakes: "crabcakes are their specialty, but..." Top 5 Page for this destination Maryland Restaurant Tip by b1bob

As far as restaurants my boss has chosen on auction trips go, this was one of the better ones. No, it was not in the Inner Harbour of Baltimore (in fact it was much better than that one), but rather in the suburb of Linthicum Heights near B.W.I. south of the city and near our hotel. Those who judge a restaurant based on the outside will be disappointed, but trust me, walk right in and get some food. There was a rather large group of us and the service was great. The menu is diverse. For those not keen on seafood, they offer a wide range of Greek and Italian food too.

Favorite Dish: Although crab cakes are the signature dish (they're so popular, they have a mail order business on the side), I ordered the fried scallops. I have loved fried scallops since I was a kid at the beach, getting adult portions as young as age 5. I don't like crab cakes because they are bound together oftentimes with mayonnaise (in my opinion, the lowest culinary ingredient in existence). You could get two vegetables with it and I had the side salad and baked potato. The portions were enough that I didn't go back to the hotel hungry. The scallops were cooked perfectly (in the blink of an eye, you can overcook scallops and they become little rubber balls). The baked potato was great too, but would it have killed them to go beyond lettuce, tomato, and onions in the salad?
