The last post on this that I found was 9 years ago. So asking this generation of redditors, if you can eat one crabcake, which one you got? Coming into town for a stressful medical appointment for my wife at JH so want to treat her to something fun. Thank you!
Pappas.
•Koco’s
•Jimmy’s - I usually get the ones you make at home so could be on the list cuz I make it so good
•Faidley’s -haven’t been in a few years, can’t imagine it’s any different
•Liberatore’s - Timonium location
•No G&M
•No Atlas
No G&M?
I used to be a G&M loyalist but the last couple times I've been there their crab cakes were dull, full of filler and just didn't hit right. For the price they charge its a rip.
Ahh. That’s a real shame. I was assuming that the exclusion of Atlas is due to the reported selective application of their dress code to exclude people of color. It’s a bit of a relief that’s not the case for G&M’s exclusion. I enjoy wings at G&M now and again.
It’s usually more about Atlas’ connection to Sinclair Broadcasting, general douche-baggers of owners, takeover of corporate restaurant group in areas where indie restaurants used to be plentiful, and then their history of discriminating against POC.
That word salad is impressive! A company making investments legally is a more of a problem than racism. Okay. You do you.
Last time I had them they were fine. 'No G&M' is like Eikiban at this point, just a mindless meme some here parrot.
I don't want fine if I'm paying for a crab cake though. I want damn good. Besides that, the place seems to attract exclusively the oldest, worst drivers in that area. The average age of their dining room is probably 55+
I love how most of your problems have nothing to do with the crab cakes. Like you're so wrapped up in automotive and age identity politics you can't even enjoy food.
It's mid. Like I said it's fine but I don't want fine when I'm paying a lot of money for a crab cake.
No, they’re just not good anymore.. for the last 12 years. Look at all the health code shutdowns

Faidley’s is the best crabcake in Baltimore and thus the world.
Truth
I really like Pappas. Jimmys seafood might be the closest I can think of near Hopkinsand their crab cakes are good. Are you visiting the main campus of Hopkins or Bayview?
lol idk how they said the most recent discussion was from 9 years ago
They have been on Reddit for about ten years. This is the first time they have ever posted in the Baltimore subreddit.
How do you not know how to find posts about crab cakes in Baltimore after all that time being on reddit in general.
There is no way you would have a hard time finding a discussion on crab cakes in Baltimore.
I did a search on my phone and that is what came up. Weird!
I just did it myself. At the top where the Baltimore subreddit is highlighted next to it put in "best crab cakes" and you will find a number of posts that answer that question.
I think the problem is I put in crabcakes without the space.
Oh ok cool
Near Hopkins, I personally think Dudas is one of the best you can get. Could spend a nice evening out in Fells as well.
Had a dudes crab cake recently, it was so good!
I continue to swear by G&M but some folks disagree apparently.
G&M is fine for crabcakes but not worth the wait. There's always a huge line and honestly I'm not much impressed by the rest of their menu. It's all very meh. There's a place right down the road from G&M called the Olive Grove that has equally good crabcakes and less wait time.
I only go for their crabcakes and when my folks are in town. Boomers are easily impressed by the joint for some reason.
But the crabcakes are good. I haven't had Olive Grove but I'll have to give it a try. My neighborhood is getting a new Faidley's soon so I'll probably swear by that soon enough.
Looking forward to another BMore classic in CVille. The CVille Gourmet also has solid sea food options.
God you're right it is a boomer thing. G&M always struck me a really old fashioned.
I'm definitely a g&m fan, but I'm not waiting hours for it.
Pretty sure Olive Grove and G&M are owned by the same people
Hahaha that explains so much! I always thought they had near identical crab cakes.
I like Olive Grove, too. Always used to be a family outing spot.
Had a really good one at Annabel Lee Tavern recently.
Opened a can of worms. Some people say Pappas and Kocos but then some say they are trash. I can give you some recommendations from my list, they are rated Good, Eh and Sucks
Ill send in a message, it has links and stuff
In Harford County, haven’t found one better than Box Hill. Pappas is very good In Baltimore.
Local Oyster in the Mount Vernon Marketplace.
DiPasquale's
G&Ms.

Kocos was excellent before ppl outside the neighborhood knew they existed. Bc of the volume, the service is now iffy and the quality/ taste of the CC truly depends on the day you go. Real hit or miss. We were loyal but nah!
Jimmy’s was on our sh*t list for using too much filler but we recently gave them a chance and we’re surprised that the quality improved A LOT! Pappas is alright and if you feel like being adventurous, Costas on North Point is good!
Another vote for Costas! Almost never gets mentioned but the consistency of their crabcake through the years is impressive. Don’t let the place fool you, the food is great.

I like Koko’s.
Not sure if they are still good, but my high school job was at Romano’s on Ritchie Highway in Glen Burnie and the crab cakes were very good. I haven’t had one in many years, but they used to ship them like G and M does and people ordered them all the time.
Nicks Fish House and Gertrudes are my favorite places to get a crab cake!
