"Award-winning crab cakes are everywhere at the Shore. And while we’re not claiming the Mad Batter’s are the absolute best (we haven’t tasted them all yet!), we do know the baseball-sized cakes, served on squishy brioche buns alongside piles of perfect fries, make for an ideal beach meal. Visit the all-day bistro inside the Carroll Villa Hotel for lunch, when you can also order oatmeal pancakes, thick-sliced orange and almond French toast, and a Chesapeake Bay Benedict in the same meal. The menu is vast, with good vegan and gluten-free options, too." - Regan Stephens
