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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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'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.
