MGM National Harbor announced the addition of two beloved Maryland food brands to its MGM National Market food court, set to debut when the new mega-resort opens during the fourth quarter.
Renowned Maryland-based Pappas Crabcakes and Danny Meyer’s Shake Shack will join MGM National Market’s collection of new culinary concepts.
“Pappas and Shake Shack are fan favorites—from the DMV region to locations around the world,” said MGM National Harbor General Manager Bill Boasberg. “It is clear that guests who visit their restaurants have a loyalty to the product and an appreciation for each company’s commitment to great customer service, two qualities we hold in high regard. Both concepts are sure to deliver the delicious food and engaging guest experience for which they are known.”
Featured on Food Network and listed as one of “Oprah’s Favorite Things” in O magazine, Pappas Crabcakes is well-known on the Maryland shore. Founder Mark Pappas created the concept in 1972 when he purchased a restaurant with the vision of offering quality food at fair prices, along with a promise to provide outstanding customer service. More than 40 years later, the family-owned operation has expanded to offer catering, delivery and restaurant experiences, allowing fans from across the country to enjoy the award-winning crab cakes at their convenience.
Founded by legendary restaurateur Danny Meyer, Shake Shack is a critically acclaimed, modern day “roadside” burger stand known for its 100 percent all-natural Angus beef burgers and flat-top Vienna beef dogs (no added hormones and no antibiotics ever), 100 percent all-natural cage-free chicken (no antibiotics ever), spun-fresh frozen custard, crinkle cut fries, craft beer and wine (available at select locations) and more. A fun and lively community gathering, Shake Shack has earned a cult-like following around the world.
