I went there for an early lunch. I had the Maryland crab soup and the Award Winning Lump Crab Cake. The soup was good (3.5/5). The crab cake was really good (4.5/5).

Hands down the best crab cakes I've ever had! It's worth making the 3 hour drive to get them! I have recommended to several friends that have made the stop. Nothing but positive comments from all of them. I can't wait to make another road trip to get some!

The crab cake was delicious!!! The sides were ok... I had fries and collard greens. Steak cut fries aren't my favorite anyway but doable. The collards taste like they were from the can and they just heated them with turkey meat. Yuck! Anyhoo, I would definitely come back for a crab cake!

Crab cakes are the real deal and the steamed shrimp are equally sporty. Great meal. Great piece of Americana too. The raw oysters are a must try.

Park Close and Eat Crab!. There is a parking garage right next to the Lexington Market...PARK THERE. (The area is kind of shady and you really don't want to walk further than you have to get to the market.) Another thing to keep in mind. It's seafood...it's crab...it's on the pricier side. To save money, I recommend bringing your own drink and not buying a platter (it just comes with sides).

The lump crab cake was exactly that. A lump of crab with little to no fillers. It was just a lump of tender, flaky crab goodness. The only thing I liked better was the soft shelled crab! It wasn't even in season but was beyond delicious. I loved it so much, I couldn't bring myself to eat it in a sandwich. Nope! Just pulled off that distracting bread and chowed down on pure seafood. If you still have room in your stomach, go to Berger's Bakery and get the Nut Roll!

Yummy. I was this place on TV and told my wife the next time we are in town we would have to stop here. Well, our 1st grandson was born so off to Baltimore we went! After we meet him we headed to Faidley's. These are the best crab cakes we ever had! Tons of lumped crab meat and huge! Great flavor! This will be a stop for us every time we are in town!

So worth it. My husband was on deployment and said during our anniversary weekend we need to eat at this crab spot in Baltimore. Well here it is and we both can say it was so worth it. Lump crab cakes were so good!

The Best!. I grew up in Maryland and ate here as a kid. I live in Oklahoma now, ordered some cakes by mail--WOW! They are still the best you've ever had--ANYWHERE! Not one fine restaurant in Oklahoma City comes close to these folks.

The real mccoy. Crabs selected for this restaurant's food go to Crab Heaven. There is simply no better crabcake on the planet, including the ones I make myself. Slightly rough and tumble for the yuppie crowd, but relish the food, the atmosphere and the pride these folks take in bringing you The Best. Yup. Go there

Great raw bar experience. I was happy to discover the Faidley raw bar where I ordered a dozen clams and a dozen oysters.

The raw bar is busy, and the service is fast and there are some very hardworking people there. The bivalves are opened and served on disposable plates - this is not fancy and they are not super cleaned up, so expect to get a bit of shell now and then.

I was surprised when the woman at the bar asked if I wanted an egg and I said I had never eaten clams or oysters with an egg, and she said "I'll set you up".

She set up three sample oysters with hot sauce, a slice of hard boiled egg, cocktail sauce and crumbled cracker. I've eaten a lot of clams and oysters but I've never seen this before.

They were good, and almost everyone around us was eating them that way.

I really want to give kudos to the woman at the bar during a busy shift for taking the time to show me this new way to eat oysters, and for her overall great service.

Faidley's crab cake is an absolute American story! The story of how you can became famous with only one thing/product... You can smell history here, this place is out of this world, such an experience to see and witness this place today! The food is ok, sandwich was nice, bit no more then that. On the other side, prices are to high for this amount of food. 4* is a max rate.

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 it failed to draw out the natural sweetness of the crab—perhaps a bit more salt. That said, the price is fair for this amount of jumbo lump crab meat with hardly any filler. It’s an honest business. I wouldn’t make a special trip out of it, but it’s worth trying if you’re in the area.

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 back if I ever get back to Baltimore. Crabcake and 2 sides were about $32. Totally worth it.

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 one crabcake, coleslaw, and a beer. I got the crabcake platter, which came with one crabcake, and two sides. I chose the macaroni seafood salad, and the carrot salad it Was too much food for me. I enjoyed the crabcake and so did my husband, it wasn’t the best crabcake we’ve had but it was good. My husband had to wait a long time to get a beer, they need more staff. I didn’t mind standing while eating, but I could see how some people wouldn’t want to do that.

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!
