Patrice and I both opted for the crab cake platter. I got mine with collard greens and mac and cheese. When our plates came out, I was eager to see what all the fuss was about! :)
To say that these crab cakes were unbelievable is an understatement. These were hands down the best crab cakes I have ever had! The lumps of crab were flavorful, soft, and absolutely divine. The cake itself had a perfect consistency that melts in your mouth. It's browned and crispy just enough on the outside to match the soft, stuffing-like center. It comes out warm and bigger than your fist. And even though one is enough to leave you full all day, you're going to want 10 more.
Faidley's atmosphere just adds to the whole experience. You eat at bar top tables with no chairs, shoulder to shoulder with your fellow crab cake lovers. There are no frills to Faidley's, just good, fresh seafood. After all these years it's still a family run business. We got to meet Miss. Nancy Devine, current owner and descendant of founder John W. Faidley. Not only can she make a mean crab cake, but she had seen La Cage Aux Folles on Broadway and loved it! She was fabulous.

If you are in Baltimore, you MUST go to Faidley's. Thank you Patrice for taking me!
