Not bad. The crab cakes were a bit dry, but overall they were tasty. I think I'll try adding some more mayonnaise next time.

These crab cakes are incredible! The crab meat is so fresh and tender, and the bread crumbs add a perfect crispy texture. I love the Old Bay seasoning in the recipe. It really brings out the flavor of the crab. I'll definitely be making these again.

These crab cakes were a disappointment. They were dry and lacked flavor. I followed the recipe exactly, but something went wrong. I won't be making these again.

Not a fan. The crab cakes were too greasy and the bread crumbs were soggy. I think I'll stick to my old recipe.

Meh. They were okay, but I've had better. The crab cakes were a bit bland and the bread crumbs were too crunchy. I wouldn't make these again.

Not bad, but not great. The crab cakes were a bit dry and crumbly. I think I'll try adding some more mayonnaise next time.

Solid crab cakes! Followed the recipe and they turned out great. The crab meat was fresh and flaky, and the bread crumbs added a nice crispy texture. Will definitely make again.

Mediocre. The recipe was easy to follow, and the crab cakes were cooked evenly, but they lacked flavor. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
