Capt'n Chucky's Crab Cake Co, Trappe

General information

The Trappe, Blue Bell and Colmar Capt’n Chucky locations are owned and operated by the Heckman and Zakowicz families. Lois Zakowicz along with Manny and Janice Heckman can be found serving customers in our stores on any given day. Tom Zakowicz, Manny and Janice spent many years together working in the restaurant industry, including an instrumental role in starting the Applebee’s and Boston Market restaurants in the Philadelphia area.

Our most recent venture began when Lois’ brother, Jesse Taggart, mentioned that his neighbor in Rock Hall, Md., Chuck (Capt’n Chucky himself!), has a store in Newtown Square, PA, selling a full line of homemade crab cakes, soups, chowder’s and many other delights. We got together, visited with Chuck and tried all the product, the rest is history! We loved the product so much, we decided to open some stores and get these delicious crab cakes out to the rest of the world!

We opened our first store in Trappe, Pa. in the spring of 2010 and our Blue Bell store that summer. As you can see from the menu, we are best known for the wonderful crab cakes, but offer much more. We are constantly working on new recipes and menu items and hope to always keep it fresh and exciting as the years pass by.

Our mission is simple – we strive every day to serve the highest quality product at the lowest possible price! We love serving people and look forward to meeting new customers every day, while spending time with our regulars who have now become our friends. Our goal is that everyone enters our store as a customer and leaves as a friend!

We look forward to seeing you in one of our locations very soon!
