Reply to comment by addctd2badideas in Best crabcakes? by taco_perfecto

G&M is fine for crabcakes but not worth the wait. There's always a huge line and honestly I'm not much impressed by the rest of their menu. It's all very meh. There's a place right down the road from G&M called the Olive Grove that has equally good crabcakes and less wait time.

I only go for their crabcakes and when my folks are in town. Boomers are easily impressed by the joint for some reason.

But the crabcakes are good. I haven't had Olive Grove but I'll have to give it a try. My neighborhood is getting a new Faidley's soon so I'll probably swear by that soon enough.

Looking forward to another BMore classic in CVille. The CVille Gourmet also has solid sea food options.

God you're right it is a boomer thing. G&M always struck me a really old fashioned.

Pretty sure Olive Grove and G&M are owned by the same people

Hahaha that explains so much! I always thought they had near identical crab cakes.

I like Olive Grove, too. Always used to be a family outing spot.
