Faidley's is a Baltimore institution inside the historic Lexington Market. Their jumbo lump crab cakes are the stuff of legend — all meat, barely any filler, broiled to perfection. It's a counter-service operation: you order, grab a spot at the standing tables, and eat some of the best crab cakes on the East Coast. No frills, no pretense, just extraordinary crab.
