Totally agree. Go to the one in Lanham for the authentic (strip mall) experience. I do not enjoy G&M (and the other ones by BWI owned by the same folks) to be as good. I don't get the hype with those places.

Johnny's Half Shell. No filler. No Old Bay. Just delicious.

Seriously, it's so good. They also have fabulous beer battered shrimp - the lightest, most delicate layer of batter that is superb.

Cantlers - sorry on spell check

Canters - Annapolis area

G&M hands down!

Not totally DC metro, but this place called Edgewater (close to Annapolis) has amazing crabcakes. They're the size of softballs without a lot of filler. They are awesome.

Not helpful. Who cares that you think that they are overrated?

River Falls Market!

I love Old Ebbits.

Who's got the best crabcakes in the DC metro area?
