Its a walk from the harbor , but you can visit Edgar Allen Poe's grave site along the way. Come here for the crab cake , a contender in Travel Channel 's "Best Sandwich in America"
Awesome food, must try. Love standing table atmosphere - a lot of energy. Connected to Lexington Market . For fans of the show The Wire, many scenes filmed in and around the market .
Tried a jumbo lump and a backfin , both incredible crab cakes , but the backfin reminds me more of crackin crabs in childhood. Incredible spot in a classic environment (Lexington Market )
This may be the best crab cake I've ever had! After I finished my lunch platter I went back and bought three more crab cakes to go!
Make sure to save room for some fresh oysters after you have their lump crabcake , super fresh and dripping with brine.
Try the Jumbo Lump Crabcake - #AFPeeps #AFPFC Faidley's "Best Crab Cake " in Baltimore. It was as big as a tennis ball @johndawe @LEAmerman @ligiafpena @aliceferris @GoalBustersJim (via @Foodspotting)
As a million people have noted previously, the jumbo lump crab cake is surreal, it's brilliant. I thought one wouldn't be enough, but it's sooooo rich and delicious!
Delicious! - Best crab cake in Baltimore . Just be aware, it is not a sit down restaurant . They are located in Lexington Market....note the market is closed on Sundays
Try the All Lump Crab Cake - Famous Lump Crabcake at Faidley's Seafood in Lexington Market . Best I ever had. (via @Foodspotting)
It's so good to be back East and have some proper Crab Cakes And She-Crab soup . Both were very good and made my day.
They are known for the best crab cakes in Maryland. I can’t ever eat a soft shell crab sandwich anywhere else without comparing it to Faidley’s. Read more
These chunky crab cakes were the best I ever had; they looked like huge meatballs . The big lumps of crabmeat were held together by minimal amounts of condiments, and were deliciously sweet.
The All Lump Crab cake is the real deal, get it on a kaiser roll with a Natty Boh for a true Baltimore experience.
The lump crab cake is worth an earlier train from New York. And the oysters - often overlooked - are fat and super fresh.
Best crabcakes you'll ever have. Spring for the lump crabcakes . For sides, you can't go wrong with their macaroni salad .
Everyone is right. It's the best crab cakes in Baltimore . Both the jumbo lump and backfin are great.
Best crab cake in the middle of baltimore. The place isnt fancy at all. But thats what make it unique.
No trip to Maryland is complete without a soft-shell crab or jumbo-lump-crab-cake sandwich at this famous Baltimore establishment. Read more
Friendly service . Backfin crab cake makes a great quick lunch .
Some of the best crab cake sandwiches , plus a raw oyster bar . Dozen raw oysters , add some lemon , horseradish , hot sauce , and wash it down with a Natty Boh !
Best crab cakes in Baltimore . A little off the beaten path, but worth a side trip.
Try the crab cake sandwich at this Baltimore icon. It's featured as one of the contenders on Travel Channel 's Best Sandwich in America.
Stellar seafood . The crab cakes are out of this world.
Oysters at the bar , grab a tub of horseradish , hot sauce , and join the conversation. A Baltimore treasure.
Never tried crab cake before but it was amazing!
Amazing oysters , very fresh. The crab cake is out of this world!
Crab Cakes are world famous and Faidley's was once commissioned to develop crab cakes for the crew of the Space Shuttle.
Be careful when ordering the crabcakes be careful! make sure you get the "lump" (they have three different options). The "lump crabcake " is their award winner and definitely the best!
Stakedish sandwich was nicehaddock sandwich was nice crab cake was amazing
AMAZING crab cakes . Might seem kind of pricey at first, but definitely a baltimore experience.
Crab cake was the best I've ever had. The sides were only ok though...
Jumbo all lumps crabcake & oysters . Yum! Skip the crab soup ; it's not crabby enough.

One of the best crab cakes in BMore. This is the backfin crabcake for $9
Crab cakes ! Their coleslaw was surprisingly awesome too.
Mmmm crabcake platter. Smallish serving so git ur own! It comes w 2 homestyle sides. Luvly greens & well done potato salad .
The best crab cake I have had 😋😋😋
Skip the crab cakes and try a truly nostalgic taste of Balmore. The Baltimore "Coddie", know to some as a poor mans crab cake , is authentic Balmore hon!
The lump cake is aaawwweesooommeee!!! I couldn't finish the fries nor the salad . It's decent to order the cake only! It's a must!
Best crab cake I ever had !!! 😋 So tasty and delicious !!
Crab cakes , obviously. The potato salad is a great side.
This place is a sad shadow of what it used to be. The Lexington Market is all but abandoned and the area is so depressed. $20 for a crab cake and a beer is unacceptable in a setting like this.
Five star. Love it
Definitely worth a trip when u r in Baltimore, a true landmark !
Yo. Get a crab cake lump in yo belly like YESTERDAY!
There is a reason their crab cake was in the running for the best sandwich in america...
Craaaaab cakes ! Macaroni and cucumber salad sides. Done and done.
Best Crab Cake I ever had!!! If your in the area, it's a must have.
Called the best crabcake in Maryland. However, in a fairly sketchy area and only open until 6 or 7.
Be sure and try the Berger Cookie. Its a Baltimore classic. - Cracken .
Polish was really good but the hot Italian was over-cooked and tough - Matt Welch
Great place to pick up fresh fruits, veggies, and meat! A few bakeries inside if you're looking for bread, pastries, and cakes. - Karen
Tasty oysters! Have only the shells to show. Did Not even think about taking photos with a plate of Skinny Dippers and Johnston Bays in front of me. The buttery Skinny Dipper was my favorite! - Sally Cherry
Tomato/Garlic Mussels, unreal. Their crab cakes are excellent as well, no filler, just crab. - Mike J.
Great place! Easy to get there, lots of food, tons of fun. - Oskie
This hotel was as comfortable as its beds, as is walking distance to the stadiums, restaurants and shopping areas. However, the pool is indoors and it is a cesspool of chorine! Swim if you dare! - Jay Blessed
