Blue Crab Eatery is closer to me then Grabbes and always heard about it and I wanted to try it. No I
never tried the AYCE so I can't comment on it. I like the place....I also like Grabbe's. All I can say is try it and decide for yourself. One thing that the BCE doesn't have that Grabbe's does is the "Crabman" and that song.....

(inside joke)
