Charm City Eats

Been seeing this truck around since I moved from MD to FL a couple years ago and finally got to try it tonight. First time I've had a good crab cake in Florida! Crab cake sandwich and old bay fries were awesome! Lots of crab, and not a ton of filler, a great crab cake even by Maryland standards. If you've eaten a crab cake anywhere else in Florida...you've never had a crab cake. Owner was a great guy and it was nice to talk about his truck and all the best crabcakes in MD. Awesome to have a taste of home down here. Will definitely look out for these guys next time I'm craving a crabcake. OH! and the price....these are MUCH more affordable than Jimmy's Seafood or Faidley's.

Super friendly. Gave great recommendations for menu items. I got the Old Bay spicy chicken sandwich and the flavor was great BUT my bun wasn't fresh. The fries were seasoned nicely.I expect food truck prices to be higher than average but I just didn't see the value in a $20 chicken sandwich with a handful of fries. (That was the price after tip.)

I was immediately greeted when I approached the food truck. I ordered the crabby fries which are simply fries topped with blue crab dip and bell peppers. It was hot and fresh. The blue crab was flavorful but the rest of the dish was lackluster. I expected cheese sauce or something else to give the crabby fries full flavor.

This food truck was at the Shopapalooza festival which was a great option at a festival. Crab cakes- wow, so decided to give it a try. Service was slow due to only 2 people working the truck. We ordered large crab cakes, which weren't on the menu but available. This took a long time to prepare so when the enquire was made as to how others who ordered after all the crab cakes people the cook lost it and started shouting that it was a special order so it takes longer. He was shouting at this other guy and told him he can get him money back and to cancel the order. I can appreciate that this required a different preparation, however, the cook could have just explained why it takes longer instead of the attack. We got the crab cakes and fries. The cakes were fresh and not full of fillers which was nice. However, it could have had more seasoning. The sauce that it was served with made it tasty. It needed the sauce. The fries were good enough. Was expensive - 2 crab cakes, fries and a coke - $59USWould not go out of my way to go back to this truck.

Hi,I was at the Fresh Market at Wiregrass this past Saturday. The guy with the Blue Crab hat.I ordered (2) crab cake classics with fries.The crab cakes were small (not 7 oz.) and had more filler than I expected. It did have some large pieces of backfin but it did not look like the one pictured on you menu board or web site.I only got FF in one order (I thought I ordered for both) And I did not receive any Old Bay spice on the side.$ 58.00 for my order. Ouch.Sorry to say I was disappointed.

I was excited to try this food truck because I am from Baltimore and love crab cakes but I was disappointed with this experience. I had to wait for a bit to order while they finished preparing other orders and then waited for quite a long time for my food. The owners were very nice and apologetic. The crab cake tasted pretty good except for the taste of shells that I noticed. They asked if I wanted a bun and I said yes, but didn't get one, which is fine. I was asked if I wanted old bay fries and I said yes, but I got regular crinkle fries that tasted like frozen fries that had no seasoning (salt) and definitely were not old bay. The cookies were good, though. For almost $40 bucks for a crab cake, fries, and cookies, plus tip, it was not worth it.

Holy crab cake! I decided to give this food truck a go at the Johns Pass Seafood Festival and glad I did. The crab cake was huge and cooked perfectly. Tons of flavor. I don't ever say "it's the best of [blank] I've ever had but this one deserves the award for crab cakes. Will make the effort to search their truck out in the future!

Being a Maryland girl, I stalked this food truck for months before finally being able to try it. My first visit, there were highs and lows, but the lowest point was that the crab cake was very undercooked and mushy in the center, and I did not enjoy it.Fast forward to this past weekend when I thought I'd give them another try. I had the Classic Crab Cake Platter to-go. It came with a crab cake, set on a tomato and piece of lettuce, and french fries with Old Bay sprinkled on them. I asked for them to cook my crab cake longer this time, and I enjoyed it much more than my first visit. I thought there was a decent crab to filler ratio.In the future, though, they should probably avoid putting the hot crab cake on the cold lettuce and tomato, since that made them warm and mushy. Also - both the picture on their menu board, and their menu online says the platter comes with coleslaw, which it did not. The platter costs $21, which I think is high for what you actually get.The couple that owns this food truck are SO NICE, and I think they are trying really hard to make great Maryland food for the masses, so I'm sure I will be back.

I'd actually say 3.5 stars. Just had the double down with old bay fries and the Mac and Cheese. Portions were massive which is great. Fries were really good too. I think I would have liked the sandwich more with the crab dip on the side. The crab cake on its own was very good but the topping was overpowering. I couldn't taste the crab cake at all. The noodles in the mac and cheese were over cooked so they were mushy which ruined the dish. Would be willing to try them again next time I see them.

This place has a rockin' crab cake sandwich. I went to the food truck Thursday in Channelside and the line for Charm City Eats was the longest (that's when you know it's good) so flavorful but which it had just a tad more sauce - The Sauce Boss
