Pappas serves so much crab that
it’s a wonder diners don’t leave the
place scuttling sideways. Thirty-one
dishes on the menu feature crab, the
staple at the family’s four area restaurants.
“We go through 1,500 pounds of crab
meat a week here,” said Tim Miller,
managing partner at the Bel Air venue,
which opened in 2023. The 8-ounce
crab cakes, made of colossal and jumbo
lump meat, comprise 60% of the business and follow a secret recipe created
more than half a century ago.
On occasion, said Miller, male
customers pull him aside and say.
“These crab cakes are better than my
wife’s, but don’t tell her.”
Seafood powers the menu, from
grilled octopus and orange roughy to
specials like Chilean sea bass, served
over sweet potato puree and topped
with spinach and a mandarin orange
sauce. Steaks, burgers and pastas have
devotees, too.
“The only thing we don’t serve is
pizza,” said Miller.
The outdoor patio, open year-round,
is a favorite with patrons, and those
with the late-night hungries are seated
’til midnight. As the holidays near,
there’s a run on Pappas’ hand-carved
turkey dinners, with walnut cornbread
dressing. What, no crabmeat stuffing?
“If that’s what you want, we’ll
work something up for you,” Miller
said. “Our kitchen guys are pretty flexible.”
