    Pappas has been a "go to" restaurant for many years whenever we are in "town" (4-5 times per year) and has always provided excellent food and service at a reasonable price; however, this visit brought higher menu prices and without any improvement in service or quality of the standard crabcakes. In fact, I believe that quality of the crab meat utilized has been down graded and was slightly disappointed after many years of consistent quality. Hopefully, this was an isolated instance and not a picture of the future.

    Food was delicious however maybe because of several large parties our meal took a long time to arrive. Our waiter was nice and I’m assume kitchen was backed up. Food as usual was delicious and we will return

    Went for my birthday and of course had to have the crab dip and their famous crab cake, neither of which ever disappoint! Since it was a holiday, the restaurant was pretty empty at lunchtime so it was much quieter in the bar area which was very nice and made it easier to carry on conversations. Pappas will ALWAYS be my go-to place. :)

    Wait Staff - Restaurant - Monica - helpful; attentive; and professional. Meal - Maryland crab soup and mini crab cakes. Seasoned and tasty. Solid go to selection. Highly recommended. Front of the House - Engaging and interactive. Greets you coming and going. Younger Team member should stop using their Smartphone and be more attentive to the Guests. The other Staff person was spot on.

    Front of the Office - Engaging and interactive. The gentleman was professional; helpful; and recognizes you. Solid conversation. Wait Staff - Monica. Helpful; attentive; on topic conversation; and professional. Meal - Maryland crab soup and mini crab cakes. Right in the wheel house. Enjoyable every time. There is something positive about a well made product - time and time again. I recommend both items for lunch or dinner.

    Front of the House - Neutral - Evening staff is not as the Lunch shift. Even with a Reservation and their computer screen it is a challenge to gain recognition. GM and Ownership - walking the floor - Super engaging. Helpful and friendly. Wait Staff - Monica - helpful; attentive; and menu knowledge. Meal - Maryland crab soup and mini Crab cakes. A solid and consistent selection. The mini crab cakes - are just that - "crab" cakes - little to no filler. Food expeditors - helpful and interactive active. Confirms the orders and asks if any other items are required.

    My companion ordered imperial crab. He loved it. I don’t eat shellfish but lots of other nice choices for me. Enough to take half home!

    Pappas is our go to place for crab cakes. It’s a little pricey but everywhere is these days.
