Crab cake wasn't bad, wished there was more crab and texture was less mushy. Definitely some good flavors though. The cucumber salad was very sweet, prefer a bit better balance with vinegar. Coleslaw was good, a bit too saucy though. Whole platter was roughly $30, which is a tad price-y for the small portions.
I stopped at Faidley’s yesterday for lunch for the first time. Wow! That was incredible, that crab cakes is a must. Bmore is rocking it with the seafood.
This stand is part of the big food hall, and is located to the left of the entrance. The stall on the right is much busier but it served mostly fried seafood. The steam pot platter I got here had two crabs, 1/2 lb of Texas shrimp, and a dozen clams. I upgraded the two crabs to the extra large size which was definitely worth it. I also added a half dozen oysters. The oysters were very mild but big and meaty. This shop recycles the empty shells and put them back in the bay, which I think is really cool.
Came here to try the famous crab cakes and wasn't disappointed. They microwaved my cake, which was a little off, but it still tasted fantastic. The mac & cheese had some good kick, but the coleslaw was a bit too mushy for me. The big drawback was the price--$30 for a crab cake and two sides. Worth it if you can splurge a little.
I'm back home and already dreaming of their crab cakes...so good. Very casual place where it is all about the food. I had crab cakes at 3 of the top-rated spots in the area and theirs were definitely the best.
An institution, off the beaten inner harbor tourist path, tasty, authentic, friendly locals

Best crab cakes in Baltimore (and likely anywhere in the world). A must visit if you are in town. I usually get some raw oysters too, but all the food is amazing.
We were driving from a Philadelphia to Richmond today and I texted a friend from Baltimore and asked where to get authentic Baltimore crab cakes. She recommended this place and it was delicious! We shared a large tennis ball size crab cake that is light and crispy crusted and push your fork down and it pushed right through a creamy crab filled cake. Really great and needed nothing at all on it! Also got the onion rings and some clam chowder which were the perfect combo! Would eat here again for sure!
Crab cake is 5 stars. Best I've had anywhere. The other food we got was ok. But everything pales in comparison to the crab cake
