    Crabcake Sandwich
    Mollie W.

    Craving a crabcake sandwich had me at Mother's on a Sunday night. Excellent service by Tag. He was attentive, personable, funny and professional. Three of us sat on the patio and enjoyed some sports on the big screens and about 4 dogs who were joining their people for dinner. Very casual and comfortable patio with plenty of seating and great service. Delicious cheesesteaks and crab cakes here.

    My job held its holiday party here last night. I've had food from here before so I was looking forward to the party. It was held on the patio bar area. I loved the space created for the event and I appreciated the warmth from the heat lamps. Service was great. The bartenders were excellent. The drinks were delicious (I had the Blackberry Bourbon Smash and the Cider Margarita and I think the margarita was my favorite of the two). I gave 3 stars because of the food. I was overwhelmed with the taste of the selection. I enjoyed the shrimp cocktail and the pulled pork sliders the best. The Greek pasta salad and the pretzels weren't too bad. The chicken tenders needed salt in the cooking process because they were bland and the honey mustard didn't do any favors. The crab dip was disappointing. I've had their crab dip before and I liked it but this time, it just tasted off. I feel like I tasted more cream cheese than crab. For this shindig, the drinks were the clear winner. The food was basically there to soak up the liquor because I didn't enjoy it. I wanted to love it but my taste buds were very sad.

    Loud and crowded at 1pm Saturday, January 2026, too early for any NFL games in this big, beautiful building. Three of us were able to get seats at the bar. Server was busy, but OK. We all ordered smash burgers. We've had better. They were not particularly "smashed" and a tad too expensive. We were in and out and that was our porpoise.

    Service was amazing! Thank you Jordan for being a good server! Nice sports bar. Definitely somewhere to go to watch the games. The food was good. I got the jambalaya bowl and Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Both was good! Next time I want the jambalaya meal!

    Very friendly service. Attentive and full of energy. Plenty of tvs to watch the games. Have an I door and outdoor seating. Each has its own bar. My order was the fully loaded smash burger. Comes with 2 patties with cheese and bacon and other fixings. I added a piece of pork belly to mine. Definitely a 4 napkin sandwich but it was very good. Burger cooked to perfection and juicy. Home made chips were the right crisp for me. Wasn't disappointed at all.

    I just recently visited this business on Monday, which was Labor Day. My aunt and I walked in and was greeted right away. There was no wait. We were seated right away. There was indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit inside. There was a live band playing on the outside. Our waiter TAG, yes that was his name just like the game TAG what very cheerful and polite. He made sure we had water with lemon. I ordered a strawberry margarita with salt and my aunt ordered a creamsickle crush. Both were to our liking. We ordered crab dip for the appetizer, which came with nanny, celery and carrots. I didn't care for the crab dip. It had bread crumbs on top and tasted fishy. I would definitely pass on that next time. For entree I ordered the double crab cake with loaded mashed potatoes and a Ceasar salad. My aunt ordered ribs, onions rings and sweet potato fries. I gave her one of my crab cakes and she gave me some of her ribs. The crab cake was just okay. My Caesar salad was fresh and delicious. The loaded potatoes were delicious but, could have been more loaded. I did ask for sour cream and cocktail sauce for the crab cake. Now those ribs were definitely delicious. That's what I will be getting when I return. The were tender and seasoned just right. I didn't taste my aunts sides but, she enjoyed everything and even had some leftovers. TAG checked on us often and made sure that we were good. He was definitely an awesome waiter. Great experience.

    They have stepped up their service game. Went last night and had a great experience. We had the steak tips which I wouldn't recommend but my friend liked. They came with crostini but I wasn't a fan of the sauce on it. We also got chicken and waffles sandwich 10/10 and banana chocolate bread pudding ice cream also 10/10. The place was packed on a Wednesday for trivia AND Karoke - inside and outside. Happy to see they got better servers / bartenders - we'll come back.

    Appetizer, delicious

    Mother's Grille was fantastic! Delicious food, friendly staff, and a great atmosphere. I'll definitely be back

    We were a party of 2 on a Saturday before Christmas. They were pretty crowded, but we were seated right away. It's a pretty large stand alone building with lots of seating inside and outside, as well as its own parking lot. It's nice inside, spacious and sportsy. Our server was pretty great. We ordered appetizers, or entrees and dessert. Everything was very good and the prices were great. It was a good experience and I'll definitely go back when I'm in the area. My family that lives close by love it at Mother's and recommended it to me. I'm glad we checked it out and enjoyed the food.

    We decided to stop in and are glad we did, after passing it many times and saying, "we need to try this place out". We saw the gorgeous patio where many customers were enjoying lunch and conversations. It looked amazing. We chose to dine in. And was seated promptly. Our beverages were delivered.our server suggested multiple customer favorites, and we decided on the lamarvelous cheese steak. It was excellent! The meat on it was great along with all the toppings, loved the crispy, whimsical onion straws, as seen the picture. I got the fish and chips, it was good. Actually, I was searching for an NYS fish fry, and this came close. This place draws a crowd and is probably really hopping in the hot months with indoor seating and indoor/outdoor bar. We found it a bit on the pricy side. but don't let that dissuade you. Plenty of free parking.

    After an afternoon activity with family at the fairgrounds down the road- we decided to grab a bite to eat at Mother's North down the road. We made a reservation for 5:45pm via their website. If you plan to make a reservation, just know that means that they'll seat you next available, they won't have a table readily available for you when you arrive- like a reservation usually would. Our reservation was was for 6 people & a toddler that we planned to have sit in a booster chair. Upon getting called for our table, we noticed that most of the tables were just longer than normal booth. We had 6 fully grown adults (one of them being a pregnant woman). Not typically a very enjoyable meal when you are all sitting shoulder to shoulder during your meal. I asked the hostess if we were about to be seated if it was possible that we wait for a table that had chairs rather than a booth. Her response back to me was "no, this is all we have." I said okay- can we wait for the booth in the back that is a bit roomier? "No that's reserved." okay... we also had a reservation? I said alright, is there anyway we can arrange a table that would have chairs? "No, this is all we have- do you still want it?" Before even sitting down to enjoy our meal, already feeling like this restaurant cannot accommodate us. Not sure where they sit larger parties than 6? Also you couldn't book a reservation online for any parties bigger than 6 so I'm confused how the larger booth was reserved... After being seated we had great service from our server, Tag. The food came out quickly. There was a mixup with someone's meal in our party not coming out on time & they did discount the meal for us on the behalf of their mistake. Club sandwich, quesadilla, chicken fingers, shrimp po boy, chicken sandwich- were all very good. I think everyone enjoyed their meal. Overall our service & food was great- however the hospitality & friendliness of the faces at the front could use some work. After all, it is the first people you encounter when you enter the establishment.

    (June 2026) My wife…read moreand I have been watching YouTube videos of the best crab cakes in Maryland. Pappas in Cockeysville came up in a couple of influencers' lists, so we made the 1 1/2 hour drive north to experience it for ourselves. We arrived at 11:30 on a Sunday morning and chose to sit on the restaurant side (versus the sports bar side). Our meal started with soft rolls right out of the oven and vinegar-y cucumbers. My wife had some them while I passed on them for I don't like cucumbers. Obviously, we later ordered the single crab cake entree with two sides ($33.99). I chose the fries and the up-charge for a Caesar salad while my wife picked the coleslaw and mashed potatoes. The crab cakes did not disappoint! Even though it was a hot day outside, they kept the restaurant very cold. After we ate, I didn't notice it as much because I was so full. A final note is the lunch crowd started coming in around 12:15pm.

Locales and visitors enjoying a Monday dinner - crab cakes or pasta seemed to be popular. The latter may be attributed to the $2 pasta discount on Mondays. The quintessential basket on the table of stale cracker packets and tiny plastic containers of butter probably sitting out 24/7. Meh- why "Oprah" would order her crab cakes from here when the crab is not from Maryland, right? Once I heard that news from the waiter ( I asked, it was not volunteered) I opted for the local soft shell crab special. ( despite it not being season, I should have known better. It was a puny crab with hardly any meat and it was not properly cleaned either. Sides of overcooked brocolli and asparagus. Baked potatoes looked liked yesterday's overcooked option. My colleagues enjoyed the crab cakes which were large portions- should be for $40+ each. Service was friendly, food took too long- it was a long wait for mediocre overpriced food.
