This was the best gift to randomly send 2 of my sons who no longer live in MD and miss the crab cakes, soup, dip and crabs! They both said the crab cakes were pure lump crab meat, no fillers, the soups were beyond expectations and the dip was just incredible. I wasn’t able to purchase a gift box for me and my husband but I received greater joy in knowing from my sons that this was “the best gift idea ever” especially for those of us who miss our MD crabs/food. Thank you, Katie, for working with me in surprising my sons!!

Outstanding food at a very reasonable cost.
Extremely happy with my Large Famous Gift Box Purchase

Crab cakes and cream of crab soup are excellent. The salad dressing is a take or leave it. The MD Crab Soup was decent, though overly salty. The dip was solid. Overall, a decent grouping though it seems overpriced.

Greatly pleased with my purchase of a Gift Box. It was shipped to my daughter, who made welcomed her first child, a health baby boy. She loved first, receiving a meal she didn’t have to prepare during her adjustment to being a new mother and secondly, a taste of Maryland. She and her husband enjoyed everything. They commented your soups where the best they every had. Thank you, job well done.
