By The Docks - Middle River

Crabcake oversized and delicious worth the price. The service was dirty as they were so busy, there was a little pass. Lobster dick a little overtakes a bit on the muddy side. Grilled asparagus was fantastic.

I love coming here. They have the best crab cakes in the area. The staff is always super friendly and the food is AMAZING! I’ve been multiple times and I have never been disappointed. The atmosphere and ambiance are good. The price is fair, especially the since the portion shines are pretty large.

The food, cost, and service we received for my birthday dinner were great. We reserved a space for 20 guests it was clean and spacious from others that weren't with us. That was my second time there, I will be returning for future visits.

Go to seafood spot in Essex that I 've been hitting for years. Never had anything less than a bangin meal here. I 've been all over the menu and everything is well done, including non seafood items. Was there for Easter Sunday lunch and had the Seafood Diablo. The rest of the table had crab cakes which is kind of a By The Docks signature. Only knock is when it gets busy it gets loud and when you 're waiting for your table the lobby area isn 't sufficient in terms of space. I 'm splitting hairs on that one. Personal preference and hardly a deal breaker. Staff is well informed and cordial as well. Great seafood with a neighborhood feel to it.

Let me begin by saying that I don't get out of the area, so I'm my best research to see the most rated crab cakes in the area, whether they live up to the hype. The answer is a sounding yes. The crab cakes were very dense and tasteful. I could eat a day. With the potato salad and the house of Fries for an unforgettable meal. I will definitely return to this facility.
