The best crab cakes in Baltimore. Excellent seafood selections. Shrimp salads, fried oysters, codfish cakes, and more. Still located in the old portion of Lexington Market, so be prepared for zero ambience.
Iconic crab cakes in Baltimore. Market price: mine was around $24-25. No seats, only standing tables. Given Faidley’s accolades, I expected it to taste much better, but it was bland with only a hint of mustard(?). The idea is to dress the crab minimally, to let the crab be the star of the show, but
Delicious!!! Pretty pricey given the amount of food, but the crab lump was delicious. Fun vibes.
Have to stand while you eat, but it's such an exciting place one hardly minds! But good to keep in mind for accessibility.
A hole in the wall dive for sure. It was questionable walking to it from Inner Harbor, but no issues. Food was fantastic. Standing tables only. The lady hand making the crabcakes was 3rd generation and doing it 50+ years. Her daughter was running the register. It was a must see for me and I'd go bac
Faidley seafood market is a blast from the past. You’re not gonna sit down and eat in comfort. You walk in and they want you to order right away. You get in line and you have to quickly decide what you want. I chose to walk around and look at everything and then come back to decide. My husband got o
I finally got to taste the best crab cakes and wow it did not disappoint! Love every bite! I tried both style of crab cakes, I love the jumbo lump better due to its thickness of crab meat. However, the backfin crab was seasoned really well and has a kick to it. Either one is good and worth a try.
If you find yourself on business in this area… go to Faidleys! Pick out your own fresh seafood, they steam or fry for you. Highly recommend the red snapper (fried) with coleslaw, steam shrimp with all of the seasonings and add their famous crab cake to whatever you order. 10 out of 10.
I've been to the original market 3 years ago and the new market they opened at Lexington Market. Faidley's Seafood is in the original market and its still the best seafood stand in all of Baltimore. Not too far from the Edgar Allen Poe House and Museum. They Lump Crab Cakes are delicious.
All I can say is that their crab cakes are a MUST TRY. Absolutely delicious 🤤 The first bite was phenomenal. I will never eat crab cakes anywhere else. We got meet Nancy Faidley-the best crab cake maker in the world-and her daughter Damye. Lovely and truly awesome people. Their story is the best!
Best crab cakes ever!!!
That is a very bold statement, but I have never tasted anything quite like Faidley’s crab cakes. The crab cakes alone makes me drive hours from NY to Maryland. Once you savor one of these crab cakes, any crab cakes you will eat can never compare. I guarantee you that. The si
Stopped for lunch on a busy Saturday, great atmosphere and even better food ! Hands down the BEST crabcake we have ever had ... oysters were super fresh too! A must go if you're in Baltimore. Parking a block away at the Lexinton Mkt garage was easy peasy!
Best seafood on the planet. I haven't had oysters this good since I can remember. The crab cakes are world-famous. A must stop for anyone in Baltimore.
Crab cakes were delicious for their version, I think we make a better one at home but it’s always fun to try others. Definitely a good cake compared to other restaurants in the area. The Mac and Cheese tasted like queso, which was not a hit with our kids unfortunately.
The crab cake was very good! One is enough for two people. It is expensive though, about $25 each. Don’t get the fried clams they where tiny and not juicy. The devil eggs where very good and actually sweet.
The most awesome crab cake EVER!! We also had a sampler platter which was incredible as well. Easy walk from the Lexington Market Light rail stop. We were complete newbies and everyone was so helpful suggesting what to have, service was quick, and did I mention the food was incredible! Do not miss t
These crabcakes are as delicious as I heard they were. Full of juicy, sweet crab meat. Very little fillers. I'd definitely go back if I'm Baltimore again.
10/10 this place is great. No frills. Huge and tasty crab cakes!
