It?s overpriced though and it?s not worth that much for one piece of crab cake.

I asked for greens potato salad for my sides but later discovered they gave me coleslaw instead of greens even though it was marked on the bag (check your food before you leave). From all the review hype, I just knew I got it right this time. Nope, just another average overpriced crab cake. I 've come to the conclusion

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.

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,

I paid market price $24.99 plus tax for the crab cake. We also tried the catfish sandwich. The crab cake is a decent size with lump crab meat and minimal filler but it lacked flavor. Not one seasoning was tasted but I got an overwhelming taste of mustard. The catfish was very bland as well. Edible because I’m not going to waste food. The restaurant itself is standing tables only. You can get other seafood items there. The staff were pleasant. Parking available on the street or the nearby garages.

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.

There is a parking garage right next to the Lexington Market...PARK THERE. (The area is kind of shady and you really don't want to walk further than you have to get to the market. Another thing to keep in mind. It's seafood...it's crab...it's on the pricier side. To save money, I recommend bringing your own drink and not buying a platter (it just comes with sides . <br/ <br/ The lump crab cake was exactly that. A lump of crab with little to no fillers. It was just a lump of tender, flaky crab goodness. The only thing I liked better was the soft shelled crab! It wasn't even in season but was beyond delicious. I loved it so much, I couldn't bring myself to eat it in a sandwich. Nope! Just pulled off that distracting bread and chowed down on pure seafood. If you still have room in your stomach, go to Berger's Bakery and get the Nut Roll!

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.

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.
