I love finding "hidden" gems like this restaurant. Blink as youre driving past and you will miss it. Nestled between the gas station and the mystical store you see the sign for uptown eats and may not think much of it, but stop, trust me. Not really an eat-in kind of place, but grab your food and take off to the beach or condo or wherever, just grab your food here first.
We had the crab cake platters, and man do they make an amazing crab cake. I am not sure how it held together because there was so little filler it was almost entirely crab meat. The fries were crispy and well salted, the coleslaw has a nice punch of vinegar that I really loved and the pickle spear was crisp and sharp exactly as it should be.
My son ordered the kids grilled cheese and devoured it. To be fair it looked amazing.
My husband also grabbed 6 deviled eggs from their grab and go cooler, and they were also delicious, creamy with a slight bite and a hit of paprika.

The wife's crab cake looked perfect and she really enjoyed it. The cheese steak was good, and on a good Philly roll. The service sets it apart. Great family service.

We're out-of-towners and have had numerous opportunities to try crab cakes, as well as many other related dishes. We were very pleased to taste their crab soup and found it unbelievable with its giant lumps of crab in it. The picture shown reflects just that. Additionally, their crab cakes were beyond description. I made sure to tear my crab cake apart to see just how much filler would be hidden in it, and as you can see from the attached pics, very little to none. Again, the 🦀 chunks were awesome 👌. We highly recommend UC Uptown Eats for both locals and tourists. Also, try many of their other offerings on their menue. We loved meeting the owners who are always on-site to greet you. #Crab #Soup #Cakes #Chunks #Food
