The quality and freshness of the crab here is absolutely incredible. I've heard good things about the Flash Crabcake Co. The owner - Jeffrey Gordon (not to be confused with "FLASH" Gordon - savior of the universe), made sure to let me know something about the truck. His wife doesn't consider them to be in the food truck business, but rather, a Crabcake restaurant on wheels! That really stuck out to me because I can see the owners want to stick out from the crowd. The energy and passion that is put into the originality and quality of the items shines. This place deserves the stardom and recognition it has received. Definitely a Maryland classic and hometown staple. It was a beautiful night to encounter this gem in Owings Mills tonight. I highly recommend tracking down this magnetic restaurant on wheels and striking up a conversation with the charismatic and jovial Jeffrey Gordon and his delicious Crabcakes! read more

I saw the Flash Crabcake food truck at Onley Farmer's market. My wife and I were pondering on what to get when the owner beckoned us for some free samples. In his words, "not trying to sell you anything, just want to offer some samples obligation free..." that's nice but you already had me at hello... and the smell of crab cakes already had me mouth watering. The samples just cemented my decision. Sooooo good. read more

I tried the crab cake sandwich with lettuce for $22 at a local festival. The sandwich was dense and flavorful. I didn't add mustard or any other sauces. In the future, I would get the crab cake alone rather than the sandwich because I don't think the bread is necessary. They offer packages for those who want to order large quantities of crab. The price point was in line with competitors. read more

I got a crab cake from the crab cake food truck and it was so delicious. I can't wait to see the truck next Tuesday in Pikesville so I can get another one . read more

If you're fortunate enough to come across their food truck get the crab cake in cream of crab soup. Definitely an icon in the Pantheon of Baltimore cuisine. Every bite is exploding with goodness! Unlike some in the restaurant industry, these owners did not use Covid as an excuse for declining quality and increasing prices. Portion is generous enough that you can be virtuous and eat half now and the rest the next day. Or you can do like I did and eat the entire thing at once and wish you bought another. read more

I really wanted to love Flash crabcakes! That is the truth. I found out about Flash while browsing on Yelp, weeks before the TV appearance. After seeing good looking crabcake photos and a really high Yelp rating, I started stalking its Facebook account for the daily schedule. "When is this food truck heading my way???!" "Oh they're at Hopkins today!! I can Uber!!!" Finally, found it parked Downtown. I was very excited!! It was a beautifullllll day!! There was a short line, so had to wait a little. The owner was really friendly, he chatted with the customers and very proud of his business. I didn't mind the wait and I was happy to see a passionate business owner. He offered samples of his crabcake and cream of crab soup. I already had high expectations even before tasting it for the first time. When I had the sample crabcake, I was NOT blown away. :( Tried the sample cream of crab soup next and THAT was GREAT!! Still, I came for the crabcakes, so I still bought 2 orders of All Lump Crabcake with Crackers $13x2 for my husband and I. After eating, we were really disappointed because for $13, it was small and it was not "All Lump". I've also had better tasting homemade crabcakes. I just somehow expected it to be something special. I have had a lot of crabcakes from different "BEST" crabcake restaurants in Baltimore to Annapolis. I was hoping that I was finally going to find THE BEST, but I was wrong. As for Flash, I'd still go and buy its cream of crab soup in the future. I'd be happy to pay $10 for a bowl. read more

Yum who knew some of the most delicious crab cakes in the city come from a food truck?!? The owners are so friendly and will give you a sample if you are having trouble deciding. I ended up going with the crab cake and soup together which was pretty interesting. Next time I would ask for the soup and crab cake separate - I didn't like the texture once the cake had been in the soup a few minutes. Overall really tasty and reasonably priced. read more

Yummy Crabcake & Cream of Crab soup paired with above and beyond amazing service. Jeff & Jo make a killer sandwich as well as making you feel at home from the moment you arrive at the truck. Spoiling our kiddos, offering up all the condiments and more. The crabcake sandwich was amazong from the delicious, full or crab cake, to the farm-fresh tomato and crisp lettuce​, just perfectly simple with a focus on the star, the crab meat. Don't miss an opportunity to eat at Flash, you won't be disappointed, that's for sure! read more

35 dollars for a small cake and a bowl of soup. Completely disappointed. Not worth the money.. First of all the cracked was burned on the bottom. Second of all the crab was not lump, seemed like it was flakes from the leg and claw. The soup was ok but big peices of celery were almost impossible to eat, very stringy. The person at the window seemed like they were on crack or high on something. Will not buy again. read more

These crab cakes are the best crab cakes I have ever had. The crab soup is also great. The owner and his wife are so nice and very helpful when I am making a selection. I deal with the food truck that comes to Enclave at Emerson on Upper Sky Way, Laurel. They only come once a month and I wish they came more often. If you have not tried them, please do and you won't be disappointed. read more

I was highly disappointed and sad to admit. The owner was convincing at her food truck that this was lumpy ran... they must have pulled all lumps apart... the taste was horrible. I was making myself eat it because I truly wanted to like it along with the cream of crab soup AND it wasn't cheap. I gave up half way through and trashed it because I was making myself sick by continuing to eat it. It just wasn't for me. I do wish the company continued success. read more

We found the food truck! It was located near the downtown convention center. The lady was so sweet and her Baltimore charm oozed out as she explained her two featured items. Omg! The crab cakes look like pancakes. So thick, and....crabby. We went against our better judgement and decided to buy the soup. It was decadent with sweet crab chunks from start to finish. The soup's base was creamy and oh so flavorful. The best I've ever had. Support local restaurants (or food trucks). You'll find the owners have a genuine interest in pleasing you, just like this establishment. The food was kinda pricey for this Southern transplant but it was well worth it. read more

This place is great...the crab bisque is the best I have ever had. The crabcake is the best I ever had. Jeff and Jo are the best crab cake makers and servers I have ever met. Their crab bisque smothering a crab cake in a pint bowl is the best crab cake meal I have ever had. This is a food truck so call for location. I will Lyft to wherever they are next time I am in Baltimore...it is worth the effort. read more

Oh my good googly moogly! First of all the people in the truck were so kind, I got flashed with a freshly prepared pan of crab cakes My family have flee'd town from Hurricane Irma (Florida) and got to the DMV early for a wedding we are attending. The young lady's energy was beautiful, I almost asked if I could just hang out with them. I'm glad I found this place and got my chance to have an authentic crab cake. I'll never eat another again... lumps of deliciously seasoned lovingly crafted cakes. She walked me through the options, I chose the crab cake with the saltines, she gave me tarter, mustard and cocktail... but like she said as she looked me in the eye "a good crab cake doesn't need any sauce", sis wasn't lying. It was perfect all by itself. If I HAD to choose a sauce, the mustard was good with it. Thank you for sharing your gift and cracking all of those crabs for me. :-) read more

My neiborhood has food truck Friday every week. Because I don't eat lunch during school I'm always starving and look forward to trying different foods every Friday. The customer service is phenomenal I was treated like family not their customer! Their crab cakes so flavorful and is mostly crab NOT FILLER!!!!! I ordered the cream of crab soup and my god was it delicious. I would rate this truck 10/10 and I will definitely be letting my family know. They sell the best crab cakes I've ever eaten. Please come and see for yourself you won't be disappointed. read more

This place makes some of the best, most Maryland style of crab cakes and crab soup period. I like to visit G&Ms and they make some fabulous crab cakes, but I don't consider them a true Maryland style crabcake. Flash makes crab cakes and crab soup like my family did growing up when a bushel of crabs could be had for $40 or less. Highly recommended and I hope they keep coming to the Chatham road stop at Church of the Resurrection in ellicott city. read more

I finally had the pleasure of enjoying one of their crab cakes at the last Rotunda farmers market. Not only was the crab cake delicious, but I was blown away by the absolutely fabulous customer service and care by Jo. I've also been in the restaurant industry for a long time and the entire experience was just evidence of people who love their business and customers very much. Kudos! PS GET CREAM OF CRAB ON YOUR CRAB CAKE AND YOU WILL FOREVER BE CHANGED! read more

Was coming back from the pharmacy and passed this food truck. The husband and wife who run this couldn't have been nicer, and the food was excellent! I got the crab cake with the crab soup on top. Delicious, and will definitely return! read more

Flash Crabcake - crab cake with crab soup on top! - Food Trucks Near Me

Stumbled upon Flash Crabcake today, this is the tastiest crabcake I've had in a very long time. The crab cake was full of crab and very little filler. Jo was kind enough to show me the Baltimore way to enjoy with crackers & mustard, and also threw in her tip of Worcestershire sauce. Both were delicious. I will now be on the hunt for these crab cakes. $10 for 6oz cake with crackers, worth every penny! read more

(10/30/2014) Got the 6 oz. "Super" Lump Crab Cake Sandwich. "Super", some designation they made up, seems to be a mix of lump (not jumbo), backfin, and claw. Cake was pretty wet on the inside, significant seasoned breadcrumb filler, lots of dried parsley, somewhat oversalted. Came on Martin's dinner potato roll, which was kind of small and a few shreds of iceberg. OK for $11, but better choices out there. read more

Love these people! Aside from the free samples and DELICIOUS food (their crab-asparagus soup is excellent, as are their crabcakes), they are incredibly sweet! I had a friend in town who is vegetarian 99% of the time, but she wanted to try a Maryland crabcake, so I messaged Flash crabcake to see where they'd be that weekend - they got back to me in less than an hour, and when my friend came in, they set aside an order specifically for us and even threw in an extra crabcake. Genuinely nice people with exceptional food - can't recommend them enough! read more

My wife and I contacted Jo and asked them for their location since we were driving to Baltimore. Since reaching out to them over the phone he wasnnothing short of amazing.. The customer service he and his wife gave us was incredible!!! The crab cakes and crab soup were OUT OF THIS WORLD... Will definitely be searching for them on the weekends... Fully recommended!!!!! read more

Hi Jeff! Its been a month since we met but I thought Id let the world know about the tastiest crab cakes ever! And for $10 very affordable compared to the prices by the harbor! Cant wait to see you again! I'll keep in touch. read more

Flash Crabcake - Going to attempt my own tomorrow! - Food Trucks Near Me

One of the best crab cakes if not the best. Very easy menu making it fast and inexpensive. Also super friendly!

They were parked outside of the hospital that I was working at. The owner is a real people's person he really sold and was very confident in his product. I decided to get the meal which was close to 13 since I used a card. Very reasonable and a great lunch. Would definitely go again! read more

So this is what real crab cakes taste like? OMG! I think the others I've had were crumbs held together by some crab but mostly crumbs. The cakes here are dense and delicious and clearly made with a lot of crab. Coupled with very nice people who are justifiably proud of an extraordinary crab cake and bisque at a remarkable price. While I am not an expert on crab as a New Englander I do know great seafood and these are magnificent! read more

Wow, seriously great crab cakes-- fresh, large lumps of crab, little filler, perfectly spiced. Grab a cake if he's parked near you! What a nice surprise when we pulled into our hotel to find them there! read more

Honest food deserves honest business. Crab cake that's packed full of crab at a reasonable price. Jeff the owner is a sweetheart and he deserves every bit of a good review. As we were just chomping down on his crab cake sandwiches and a quart of crab chowder (which was great btw), he came out and just talked to us, gave us napkins and even some chopped watermelon for a little something extra. Don't get ripped off at touristy expensive restaurants for a 15-20 dollar tiny crab cake! Get more for less read more

Amazing crab cake! I am staying at the Baltimore hotel and this food truck is located outside the hotel. I just had dental surgery so I can't chew anything but it doesn't matter because these affordable and delicious crab cakes literally melt in the mouth. I have tasted crab cakes in Friday harbor near Seattle but nothing compares to Flash. As a business owner myself I see the passion that goes into the food and service. Tell Jeff that Jason sent you and prepare to be amazed read more

I just HOUSED a crabcake sandwich from Flash Crabcake's food truck. It was made with large lumps of crab meat, and seasoned perfectly. To top it off, it was on my favorite type of roll: potato! It was delicious! The truck was very clean, and they market themselves well. The owner Jo was so spunky and confident in her crabcake making abilities. I like that! I admire companies like this who are genuinely excited about what they are doing. Thanks, Jo, for a tasty and inexpensive lunchtime treat! read more

The crab cakes were cooked perfectly. The owner was very friendly and personable. Our hotel didn't serve food so it was very convenient that they were right there and the food is excellent . The owner even brought my husband his order into the hotel, what great service! read more

Fantastic find on Yelp!! CALL and locate them. My family and I planned our trip and called before we left our state so we could try and work this into our trip plans. The owners were so nice and the food is AMAZING. This is an authentic crab cake!! More crab, less filler! This is a perfect way to enjoy fresh crab cakes. read more

Maybe I'm just spoiled by the great crab cakes in this area, but this was really bad. Over seasoned -full of filler.

Very disappointed - I got 2 crab cakes, threw one away literally. Crab cake was more filler than crab, no lumps of crab at all, so much spice and seasoning I couldn't even eat it, also very greasy, and I microwaved it exactly as the directions said. read more
