- №1
Koco's Pub
Lauraville
“Baltimore Magazine's 2025 Readers' Poll winner for Best Crab Cake. Tasting Table and Baltimore Magazine alike praise the eleven-ounce, baseball-sized jumbo-lump cake with minimal filler — sold at a clip of roughly 2,000 a week.”
- №2
Faidley's Seafood
Lexington Market
“Baltimore Magazine's "gold standard for Maryland crab cakes" — hand-molded jumbo-lump beauties, no eggs, bound with crushed saltines. Faidley's has anchored its corner of Lexington Market since 1886.”
- №3
Pappas Restaurant and Sports Bar
Parkville
“2025 Readers' Poll runner-up. Tasting Table notes Oprah's endorsement of the secret-recipe colossal-lump cake, made from an unchanged 1972 family recipe and shipped nationwide.”
- №4
Thames Street Oyster House
Fells Point
“Tasting Table calls out the upscale Fells Point cast-iron-seared crab cake served with house remoulade — the contemporary foil to the Faidley's-style classic.”
- №5
G & M Restaurant
Linthicum Heights
“2025 Readers' Poll finalist. Tasting Table and Visit Baltimore flag the eight-ounce, budget-friendly lump cake — drawing fans from across the region since 1974.”
