> …the single greatest thing that must be eaten at the market – the most delicious dish in all of Baltimore, maybe the most beautiful hunk of seafood anywhere on the East Coast between Maine and Charleston Harbor – is a Faidley’s crab cake. Gourmet Magazine
> 100 Things Every Foodie Should Do In Baltimore…#1…Have a jumbo lump crab cake from Faidley’s on a Saltine. The Baltimore Sun
> Faidley’s Crab Cakes are crusty on the outside and tender, moist, and packed with crab on the inside. Southern Living Magazine
> They’re plump, sweet beauties with large pieces of crab meat (“only jumbo lump,” says Nancy) and subtle seasoning (“I don’t like so much spice that it wipes out the crab flavor”). Every subsequent crab cake will be measured against hers. Gourmet Magazine

Menu as captured Aug 30, 2026 · source ↗
We hold 131 venues in Baltimore, MD and could score 13 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.
There is no score breakdown to show: nothing we read about this venue earned points in any of the four categories, so a bar chart of zeroes would look like a verdict on the kitchen rather than on what it publishes. What we did read is below.
v1.7.4 0.0/100 = sourcing 0.0/50 (named-farm 0 distinct, named-region 0 distinct, attribute 0 distinct, buzzword 0 distinct) + farm partners 0.0/20 (none scored) + registry 0.0/12 (none listed) + press 0.0/18 (capped at 35% of the 0.0-point evidence base).
Buzzwords only. This venue uses sourcing language ("farm-fresh", "locally sourced") but names no farms, regions, or verifiable attributes.
