Our chef developed one of the finest crab cakes around! According to The Washington Post, on July 14, 2005, Olive Grove’s Crab Cakes are rated in the top 10 in Maryland and Virginia. Also, the 1999 Zagat Survey says, “zealots drive around the beltway for fantastic Crab Cakes.We use only Jumbo Lump crabmeat, the most flavorful and expensive part of the crab! We then blend this delicacy with homemade bread crumbs, mayonnaise, eggs and our secret seasonings.. The Crab Cakes are then broiled to perfection.
Dressing consisted of pure olive oil, vegetable oil, vinegar, loads of imported Romano cheese, fresh herbs and spices and pasteurized whole egg.Many of our new customers told us we should offer a variety of dressings to be successful. But we stuck to our original plan and today none of our thousands of customers ask for anything else on the Olive Grove's famous salad!
