once an Annapolis institution, is downright pitiful now, food was horrible, obscenely expensive and service terrible

I know this place has an amazing reputation. First time. All I wanted was a crab cake sandwich with french fries.
I'm a big guy, the booths were a tad tight, but cool. Super retro, as is the whole vibe. So. French Fries were EXCELLENT!
Crab Cake sandwich (the large one), was good but not exactly to my liking. For my taste WAY too much Old Bay. Could barely taste the crab. 😩. Waaaa. 😭Honestly, I wouldn't order a crab cake there again. I WILL get the French fries!
Our waitress, eh. Had a "didn't give a shit" attitude. Not my favorite. Place was packed. And, I trust VERY successful. I bet 90% of the people there were happy.
Just didn't work for me and my friends.

Wheelchair accessibility: Pretty tight, except up front.

We arrived and sat for around 15 minutes while being ignored by the tall male server. We were excited to try the desserts and dinner menu.

If you love yummy diner style food while be surrounded by the distinguished memebers of the Annapolis community in person and on the walls, you’re gonna love this place. Very reasonable prices and a great menu!

An Annapolis fixture for politicians, Midshipmen, USNA grads, and Townies. Plenty of atmosphere, a solid "delly" menu and reasonably priced items. Always ask for a booth, pickles while you wait, and don't disturb the bagels overhead on the string. On weekends be prepared to wait a bit for seating.

Breakfast is available all hours & a popular spread of breakfast choices.

Parking: Paid garage right behind Delly. Limited on street parking.

It does not look like it would be particularly good. Don’t let the looks deceive…best crab cake in America.

We loved everything about this restaurant. Being new to the area, we decided to try the server’s recommendations. The crab cake for two was the best I’ve ever had, and the coffee was excellent as well. The service was exceptionally friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable.

I noticed many customers around us were trying the crab cake Benedict, which I’ll definitely try on my next visit.
