  It's actually IN the airport.
  
  The Award-winning crab cakes (I had them broiled, all lump, no filler) are not to be missed! Totally yummy, slightly crisp, full of flavor, nary a hint of shell.
  
  Hubby had a burger that looked like the ones my mom used to make: unevenly rounded and thick; but with freshly sautéed mushrooms and Swiss cheese. He didn't even reach for the ketchup except to add to the old-school crinkle cut fries.
  
  The yellow cake with chocolate frosting was good enough to fork my husband over... but I was nice and shared a couple bites.
  
  We're going back tomorrow!

  Without Yelp , we would of never found this place.  No sign on 50 or the road its on.  Be careful you'll drive right passed it.  We were expecting "Diner type" food , but got much , much better .  The crab dip & md crab soup are really good .  We will stop here again on the way home from the shore.   Put a sign out on the highway !

  Second visit to Kay's- first was breakfast without the kids- this time for lunch with the kids. Great food- the best cheesesteak I've had in years! Fun to watch the planes come and go and the hummingbirds! We need to go back for dessert sometime. It always smells like cake in there!

  Food was great and prices reasonable. Very clean and well lit with a patriotic Americana decor.  I really enjoyed my crabcake.  In fact, this was one of only a handful of times in my adult life that I didn't use ANY cocktail sauce on a crabcake.

  I have deep love of airport cafe's, and Kay's Country Kitchen is pretty great.  The drinks come in huge mason jars.  The grilled cheese with bacon is to die for.  The cream of crab soup had lots of crab in it.  The only thing I wasn't too fond of was the fries, but then, I never love crinkle cut.

  we are usually very pleased with the food and serving size but dinner Sat. Was less than expected.  We both ordered from the specials that night.  I had the fried oysters stuffed with imperial crab.  The oysters were small and the breading on them was thick and greasy.  The imperial crab was OK not great.  I ordered Kale and it was seasoned well but was very gritty with sand.  Somebody did not wash the kale!  my husband had the prime rib.  It was an inch thick but had  two huge pieces of fat on it.  I know prime rib is fatty but this was very unappetizing.  The salads were very good.

  What's not to like?  Soft drinks served in quart sized mason jars. inexpensive prices, decent food.  It is an airport café.  Therefore, it's not a five-star restaurant.  But the food is enjoyable.  As an added bonus, you get to watch planes take-off and land while you eat.  If you're not a pilot, it would be a good place to bring small kids.  In my case this was my young nephews.  Plus, there is plenty of kid friendly food on the menu.

  Kay's is my go-to spot when I'm taking folks up for a plane ride.  It's only a 25 minute flight from my home base of Potomac Airfield in Ft. Washington and includes a lovely hop over the bay.  
  
  Kay's is the sweet reward on the other side.  A small diner that overlooks Cambridge Airport, the food is reliable, tasty and cheap.  The service is effcient and friendly.  Giant sodas constantly get refilled and the food comes quick.  It can be busy, but I've never had to wait more than a minute for the staff to wipe off a newly opened table.  Bugers, crabcakes, and club sandwiches are my usual picks.  The desserts aren't bad, either.

  Right off Rt 50 in Cambridge, MD this little restaurant is a great find. Most items are inexpensive and homemade. I tried the MD Crab Soup and the Crab Cake sandwich and can vouch for both. Homemade iced tea is delivered in quart jars and only $1.50
  
  What really sets this place apart is the unique atmosphere. Part country diner and part free air show. The small restaurant has huge windows which allowed my 5 year old daughter to watch the airplanes and the hummingbirds.
  
  I'm sure it was just luck, but when we went for lunch there was even a bi-plane doing loops, stalls, and various other stunts. It was great!
  
  Only real negative...we went back again for dinner and the service was a little slow and the place can get crowded.
