The creamy tuscan chicken was delicious! I added a side salad that was pre dressed perfectly. I was surprised to find berries (blue and maybe cranberry?) In the bread pudding and was pleasantly surprised. I've been here a couple times for dinner and a few for lunch and do prefer my dinner experiences more than lunch.

Welcome to Pappas Restaurant and Sports Bar in Cockeysville, Maryland! If you've been searching for the perfect crab cake in the Baltimore area -- or ANY area, for that matter -- look no further than Pappas's 8-ounce cake of glory. Packed with colossal lump crab meat, minimal filler, and a recipe blend that has had people coming back for more since 1972.

We come to Pappas to celebrate special occasions. We particularly like the crab cakes and the shrimp dishes. Our waitress was very nice and dealt with the birthday cake we brought very kindly. Great food and service.

About the restaurant
**Terrace Seating available for walk-ins on a first-come-first-serve basis.**
True Chesapeake is a fine dining restaurant born of an oyster farm. Executive Chef Zack Mills creates a seasonal menu that showcases oysters from our far St. Jerome’s Creek, Southern Maryland — raw, roasted, and in signature dishes like Classic Rockefeller and Semolina Fried Oysters. But, the oysters are just the beginning. Our award winning menu celebrates the bounty of the Chesapeake region by using locally sourced seafood, meat, and produce to create exquisite dishes that evolve with the seasons. Chef Mills has been featured extensively for his use of invasive seafood species, a very delicious way to help the Chesapeake Bay. Don't forget to order the Blue Crab and Bone Marrow dip or handmade pasta. We have an expertly curated wine list, beer selection, and cocktails - both classic and creative. Ample bar, high-top, and terrace seating available for walk-ins on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Nice thick lump crab cake, with virtually no filler. Lobster roll was the same, with large pieces of claw and tail meat. Oysters were fresh and great. Live music was a plus. Wonderful as usual in a great setting. Everyone at the Four Seasons are professionals. Will be back!
