Our dedication to flavor and craftsmanship hasn’t gone unnoticed. Box Hill Crab Cakes was recently named one of the Top 10 Crab Cake Spots in Maryland by Barstool Sports Baltimore. Their review captured what many of our fans already know:

That kind of praise motivates us to keep our standards sky-high.

In 2023, we saw a surge of new customers thanks to the power of social media. TikTok food reviewer @therealfoodstalker visited Box Hill and quickly went viral after declaring:

His fans from coast to coast took notice—and many followed up with orders of their own to see what all the hype was about. The coverage didn’t stop there. The Baltimore Sun’s Abigail Gruskin highlighted Box Hill Crab Cakes in an article that further expanded our reach and cemented our place as a Maryland must-try.
