New restaurant serves up jumbo lump crab cakes in Ashburn

Despite the greater Ashburn area having an abundance of riches when it comes to interesting restaurants, there is still sometimes grumbling that there’s a lot of the “same old, same old.”

Too many burger joints, pizza joints, Indian food restaurants, Mexican eateries – you name it.

So, when Frye’s Famous Crab Cake Co. recently opened off Waxpool Road in Ashburn, it was noteworthy for offering something a little different: a menu focused on one thing – fresh, jumbo lump crabcakes.

“We think we have the No. 1 crab cake in the USA,” said Brandon Frye, the founder and co-owner of the brand. “Even though crab cakes aren’t something you eat every day, we were pretty sure once people tried it, they’d be coming back.”
