Fantastic food, music, and people! Highly recommend the crab cakes, phat fish sandwich, wings, and clams strips. Next I will be checking out their chicken sandwich. So far everything has been on point! read more

The food at Frye's famous crab cake was pretty good, but it was definitely pretty expensive for what you got. It is only a take out restaurant, so you have to order to go. There are quite a few really good good food options, but the drink options were a small list of canned beverages. I got the double crab cakes with hush puppies and crab pasta salad. The hush puppies were a bit disappointing, but like I said, the crab cakes were tasty. read more

Thank you Yelpers for leading me to Frye's. If you're anywhere near Manassas and love crab cakes, do yourself a favor and swing by Frye's Famous Crab Cakes. I grabbed the single crab cake platter with two sides, and I'm still thinking about it. The crab cake itself? Hands down one of the best I've had--packed with generous, tender chunks of lump crab meat, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. They include a cup of their house-made Boss Sauce, which is tasty, but honestly, the crab cake is so flavorful it doesn't need dressing up. For sides, I went with the creamy cole slaw (excellent!) and the potato salad, which was decent but nothing to write home about. Still, the portions were hearty and served in a sturdy take-out tray, perfect for their grab-and-go setup. Bonus points for the friendly staff--the server took time to walk me through the menu and help me settle on my choices. That extra bit of attention made the experience feel personal, even at a takeout-only location. read more

Food was expensive for what it is. Clam chowder taste like bland can processed. BLT was wildly underwhelming and at $20 very disappointing. Crab cakes were good but had an awful lot of shells. Potato salad was the best thing. Overall a waste of money. Won't be back. read more

Frye's Famous Crab Cake - Hush puppy & BLT - Seafood Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

A takeout only restaurant in manassas. The workers are nice and while we were deciding what to order I appreciate that they asked us how many crab cakes we planned to get so they can get it started and cut down on the wait time! You order from a kiosk in the front and can either wait in the small space they have (no seats) or your car and they'll bring it out to you. I would definitely come back! Crab cakes sandwich - 4.5/5 best crab cake I ever had! The meat is so soft, moist and every bite is flavorful and thick. The sauce it comes with is really great too. I recommend with the sandwich to help balance the flavors. It's mostly soft and clean but I think we only had 2 small small pieces of shell which we'll just take as a sign it's very fresh :) Potato salad - 1.5/5 not to my taste. A little bland and the seasoning I do taste I'm not a huge fan of Shrimp pasta salad - 1.75/5 once again not to my taste and bland but better than the potato salad. Maybe I got unlucky but there was only one piece of shrimp... Carrot cake - 2/5 a little too thick for my liking but it had a good balance of sweet but not too sweet. The frosting was on the sweeter side but not heavy and the carrot cake was not savory but lightly sweet and breast read more

Awesome crab cakes!! Flavorful, delicious and big! Tasty remolaude.Great selection of sides; I got the potato salad, great mix of new potatoes, onions and hard boiled egg, along with the coleslaw which was really good, but I prefer a sweeter coleslaw. It is strictly take out, there are no seats, it was my first time, I think they do a big catering business. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IF YOU'RE INTO CRAB CAKES! read more

It was my first time in Fairfax, VA, and I couldn't pass up the chance to try some East Coast crab cakes. A friend who recently visited recommended this place, although it's worth noting there are no seating spots; however, I opted to take my order back to my hotel room. I ordered two 5 oz crab cakes with two sides: potato salad and crab salad. The crab salad does cost a bit more, but it's absolutely worth it. These crab cakes were the best I've ever had, and I will definitely return in the future. I was quite full after enjoying the two crab cakes and sides. Next time, I think I'll go with just one crab cake and two sides! Speaking of which, both the potato salad and crab salad were superb. They were generous with the crab filling in both the crab cakes and the sides. This place is a must-try in Virginia! read more

I would see this place pop up every time when I searched "food" in this area but didn't know where it was located. I finally took a chance to locate it and give it a try because the pictures looked so good. Plus, I gave into the 5-star pressure from Yelp lol I ordered a crab cake dinner and a crab cake sandwich with some of their sides. For the sides, they were ok, and I feel like eventually they should add in one or two more to give more variety. Now, as for the crab cakes... Yes. They did not disappoint at all!! The employees were very helpful and provided great service while I waited on my order. I spoke with another couple, and they were advising me on what to order next time. They said that the crab pretzel was delicious and to make sure I ordered one next time. Trust me, I will be back! read more

Don't expect to dine-in here but DO expect to get some bomb diggity crab cakes! Yes they are delicious and no fillers; just seasoned perfectly and baked to perfection! Place our order online and it was ready when we got there! The crab pretzel had just came out the oven so after that 45 min ride home, it was still nice and warm. Picture just looks like a big blob, I know, but trust me when I say there 4 large soft pretzel sticks underneath and topped with lump crab and cheese! Sooo good! And let me also say that my hubby is a coleslaw snob lol and he actually said it was pretty good...that's a lot coming from him! The potato salad was really good too, nicely seasoned and I enjoy the chunkiness of it too! The price was reasonable especially you're getting lump crab! Will most definitely order again! read more

Thanks Brandon for your reply to my review. If you're open to some constructive feedback, I think it would be beneficial to add an additional side or even a roll to make a sandwich, at the same cost of 22.50. Again, it was a tasty crabcake and I enjoyed the roumalade sauce that accompanied it. read more

I love this place. I visit this place often. The service is great and the crab cakes are delicious.

Owner actually oversaw my order and delivered it early! They were Goliath Crabcakes, full of backfin crabmeat! Service couldn't have been better! read more

Excellent crab cakes! Very meaty with little (if any filling) Worth the drive from Woodbridge read more

Rap music at 85dB was surprising and not in a good way. I could hear it 100' away in the parking lot. Inside it was overwhelming. I wonder how their neighbors feel about this. I tried to find a "contact us" address on their website as I'd prefer to post this there. read more

This is by far the best crab cakes I've ever had. They are full of Jumbo Lump Crab meat with no fillers added. They also have amazing sides too. I would highly recommend going here. read more

Crab cake was salty, and too wet. (Undercooked) I could only eat around the outside. Hush puppies not good either and those are hard to mess up. Two stars because of Customer service. read more

What a pleasant place to get lunch, and boy was the food the best yet. Cannot wait to to come back and cannot wait till the Gainesville, VA location opens will be 5 minutes away from our home. read more

One of the best crab cakes of my life! Loved the sides as well! Can't wait to go back and eat it in my car. Tables would be a nice touch! Even on the sidewalk. Or on the lawn.. read more

Tried the double cake with 2 sides, shrimp pasta and coleslaw. Where has this place been all my northern Virginia life, the meaty, flavorful, not fishy crabcake are fantastic. Not too much bread and great size. I stopped for lunch and walked away with dinner with the 10cakes special get 2 free. Oh yeah I'm coming back. read more

I have been here a couple of times, however I went on Tuesday to purchase some crabcakes for my wife's birthday. The customer service and atmosphere were great, however when eating the crabcakes, we bite on some shells. I understand it's probably difficult to get the all the shells out. But for what I paid, I would expect the crabcakes to be shell free!! read more

The crab cakes are outstanding! The service was also outstanding. Not much in the way of ambiance, but who cares. The prices are a little high, but worth the money. read more

This is a carry out business only located in a professional office park. Their crab cakes are OK but very pricey.

After reading the many positive reviews for this take out spot I decided to give it a try. Hubby and I purchased the Goliath Crab Cake (8 oz each) platter with 2 sides (potato salad and hush puppies). Pros: The 2 young ladies who were working that night were very friendly and answered all my questions about the menu, even offering to show me what the pretzel crab looked like as they were packaging and order for one while I was there. the crab cakes were phenomenal. All lump back crab meat with no filler and just enough of a binder to hold the crab cake together just like the ones Maryland are famous for. I ate half of a crab cake one day and finished the other half the next day and it was enough to leave me satisfied. The potato salad was pretty tasty as well. Cons: No seating, self-order from a computer on the counter. The hush puppies were lacking in texture. I am used to fresh fried corn meal hush puppies and these were not fried nor did they have the southern fried corn taste. I ordered a Carrot Cake cupcake and was told to leave it out on the counter for about 15 mins to finished thawing. Even after warming it up in the microwave for a few seconds on reduced power, it was super dry. I was expecting a carrot cake and unfortunately did not see any carrots in the cake. There was a few notes of spice in the cupcake but again, nothing even close to Carrot Cake flavor. I have to add that although it lacked in the flavor dept, it was pretty, however I will not buy any dessert from there again. Conclusion: I will order from them again the next time I'm in the mood for a crab cake and do not feel like cooking one myself. I gave them 5 stars because their main menu item was on point and the staff was very friendly. read more

Great crab cakes, some small shells, but it was still worth it. I would go again. Delicious.

Found this place through Yelp would have been hard to find without. Immediately greeted on the way through the door, there isn't any place to eat inside, but the food was wonderful. it is a little pricey, but you can taste the quality and care that goes into the food preparation. Got a crabcake platter with two sides and and everything was wonderful . Definitely recommend if you are looking for an authentic crabcake without filler . read more

Great customer service! I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. Presented with how to order and shown the full menu. Proprietor was friendly and welcomed conversation about the business.

Took 20 min. to get home but wasn't disappointed, food was still warm. Prices are reasonable. read more

Meh! All food already prepared so just warming up. Ordered the platter and cod sandwich . Both the cod and shrimp were rubbery. Food lukewarm. Had much better crab cakes . For as much as it cost should be prepared fresh. My hush puppies were supposed to have melted butter. Got butter packs. This was the Ashburn location read more

Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes' crab cakes are so good they made me question my life choices. Packed with so much crab meat, I thought I'd turned into Sebastian from "The Little Mermaid." These golden beauties are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. It's like a crab threw a party in my mouth and everyone was invited. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to taste pure, crustacean joy. read more

Crab cakes are excellent and the service was great. You won't be disappointed. Best crab cakes around hands down.

Food is delicious!!! By far, THE BEST CRAB CAKE AROUND! Sides are amazing too! I enjoyed the shrimp salad and the pasta salad! Super flavorful! Great service! Update: I tried the carrot cake cupcakes and they were superb!! Although, this location is an hour away from home- I must say it is worth the drive! Can't wait to return! read more

Amazing best crab cakes I ever had. Service is great and they get you your order fast.

Absolutely stupendous crab cakes. Take out only. A table would be nice, but we ate in the car.

Hidden away gem, worth finding! Crabcakes are excellent and the potato salad worth a try!
