Our Family Story in Middletown
The Crabcake Company began as a family business in 2016 with one simple goal. We wanted to serve the best seafood in Middletown without the long wait. As a local spot, we take real pride in every order we fill. You will see familiar faces and receive friendly service every time you walk through our doors. We love being part of this community and sharing our passion for good food with all our neighbors and friends.
A Family Tradition in Every Crab Cake
At The Crabcake Company, every crab cake tells a story rooted in family tradition. Our family recipes have been carefully passed down through generations, preserving the authentic flavors and techniques that make each bite unforgettable. We stay true to those family roots by crafting every crab cake from scratch with premium jumbo lump crab meat and time-honored seasoning blends. It’s more than a meal—it’s a tradition shared with the Middletown community since 2016.
Quality You Can See and Trust
We never take shortcuts when it comes to our food. Every crab cake is made by hand using only the finest jumbo lump crab meat. We use fresh ingredients and make everything from scratch to ensure real quality in every bite. Whether you eat in our dining room or grab a kit to cook at home, you get a great meal that fits your busy schedule. We believe that fast service should still mean excellent food.
