One of my favorite summer meals is a good crab cake.

There are plenty of good local spots that offer crab cakes, but I came across a list of the 10 best chain restaurant crab cakes, according to customer reviews, five of which are located in South Jersey.

Here is how they came up with their rankings:

To compile this list, we gathered customer reviews from OpenTable, Reddit, and Google Maps. We focused primarily on taste, freshness, and size in relation to the price of the crab cakes, to decide whether or not they were worth it for their price.

 

5 Chain Restaurants with Must-Try Crab Cakes in South Jersey

When many of us think of crab cakes, we think of Maryland, but these spots in South Jersey offer a great crab cake, right in our backyard.

No. 10 – Morton’s The Steakhouse (Atlantic City)

Coming in at No. 10 on the list is Morton's The Steakhouse.

The crab cake comes garnished with arugula, thinly sliced red onions, Grana Padano cheese, and a mustard mayonnaise.

No. 9 – Bonefish Grill (Egg Harbor Township)

There is a Morton's The Steakhouse at 2100 Pacific Ave in Caesar's in Atlantic City. At No. 9 on the list is Bonefish Grill, which has a few South Jersey locations.

Bonefish Grill advertises a Maryland-Style Crab Cake with a red remoulade sauce. The dish consists of two cakes.

Bonefish has 10 New Jersey locations, with one at 3121 Fire Rd in Egg Harbor Township.

No. 6 – The Palm (Tropicana, Atlantic City)

No. 6 on this list is at Tropicana, The Palm.

Nowadays, The Palm Restaurant is a steakhouse that's a bit on the fancier side, serving a single crab cake with old bay aioli that comes out to $27. It's a simple dish and the crab cake speaks for itself. The star of this restaurant is the steak, but that's not to say the crab cake can't play an important supporting role.

No. 2 – Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse (Atlantic City)

The Palm is on the ground floor of the Tropicana at 2801 Pacific Ave, 102, in Atlantic City. At No. 2 on the list, and the highest ranked crab cake in the area from a chain restaurant, was Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, which has seven New Jersey locations.

A bit surprising to some, but Ruth's Chris Steak House's crab cakes have stood out for years. The sizzling crab cakes at Ruth's Chris come in a sizzling lemon butter at the price of $28.

Ruth's Chris has a location at Tanger Outlets at the Walk, 2020 Atlantic Ave in Atlantic City.
