Have the crab explosion omelet for breakfast and
you may scuttle out sideways. Order the buttermilk
fried chicken and waffles, with real maple syrup,
and loosen that belt a notch. Time and again, Willy’s
Kitchen serves up old-school, mom-and-pop comfort
food with “a big-city vibe,” said Nikki Hubers-Hall,
43, owner of the familial 20-year-old Glen Burnie
restaurant.
At this snug (35-table) eatery near Baltimore/
Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport,
locals and passersby feast on fare made from scratch,
much of it from ingredients gleaned from area
suppliers.
“We’re not pulling food out of the freezer,” HubersHall said. “We crack every egg and hand-bread the
chicken.”
So what if there’s a stray seed in the fresh-squeezed
orange juice? The coffee hails from Pfefferkorn’s,
a Baltimore mainstay: dairy products, from South
Mountain Creamery, in Middletown. At Willy’s, folks
order chocolate milk for breakfast.
“They call it melted ice cream,” the owner said.
Local, pasture-raised beef comprises the sevenounce, handcrafted burgers. There are two kinds of
scrapple to be had and, for the heart-healthy, an array
of signature salads made by the owner’s Aunt Sharon.
But it’s crabmeat that drives the menu, from the
Chesapeake crab benedict (with fried green tomatoes)
to the crab and cheese quesadillas.
