Kevin's Korner Kafe

What a cute place! Very much a local restaurant where you figure everyone in the dining room knows everyone else. Much bigger than it looks on the outside.

No waitresses, you order at the counter and they bring your food to you, then you get your own fountain drinks and tea. When you're done eating, you go up to the counter and pay. Don't bother trying to skip out - Kevin is all over that floor and sees everything :lol:

Baja, IS and I had hard crabs, jumbos for $32/doz and they were outstanding. Nice and fat, heavy, well seasoned. Don't know where they pulled them out but the meat was very sweet and flavorful. We also had cream of crab soup that was perfect after adding a little salt, lotsa lump crab meat. The hush puppies were good, too, crispy and buttery.

Up on the counter sat several cakes that Kevin had made - a pistachio cake, a peach poundcake, and something else that I don't remember. Didn't have any but they looked good. If I were smarter I'd have gotten a piece of the pistachio to bring home.

It screams to be on the water but, as I told Baja, if it were on the water they'd never get our butts out of the bench and rocker on the front porch. If you don't know where it is you'll never find it. It's tucked away a block north of the west (?) end of the Square in Leonardtown on Park and Lawrence.

I would absolutely go back there. :yay: :yay:

Oh, and something else I thought was cool:

The cakes were in 9x13 aluminum pans like you'd see at a bake sale or potluck dinner. It just seemed very homey and comfortable, perfectly appropriate to the restaurant's atmosphere.

I just finished it. The pistachio cake was AWESOME!!! Very moist and fresh.

You won't wait long for your food. They know how to move people!

Definitely heading back there. :yay:

Had dinner there last night. Was very nice. I got the "mini" crab cake and it was plenty big enough.

That was really a nice touch but I didn't have room for even Jell-o. Next time I'll make you two take the rest home to pick for crab cakes. Vrai & Baja; thanks for a great dinner experience! :cheers:
 
I see it more as a catchy cutesy way to play up on the 'K' in Kevin... just like the Kardasians do... are you trying to tell us the Kardashians are Klanish? Definately not...:lol:

I'd hope not, but still. that can't be something they never thought about or realized, could it?

I didn't get it until Hank spelled it out, literally. I was thinking that a "corner cafe" would be bistro-y or perhaps diner-y, not crab house-y.

He actually spells it "Corner" on his website but it used to be with a K, so that's what I'm stuck on.
