Any suggestions???? Tue Nov 03 14:44:43 -0800 2009 142722 ncara 1 5153322 You could wait a long time at a good place for steamed crabs. Cooked to order, even if you are seated immediately, is not exactly fast food. I once stopped at Bill's Terrace Inn (Baltimore) for crabs on the way to Philly. It's pretty easy. But there are no reservations and they open up at 4pm, which is when you should be there if you want to avoid a long wait.

With that in mind, so some searching, but I'll certainly say Faidley's is good - Lex Market, which adds another plus. Tue Nov 03 15:53:06 -0800 2009 5153202 11368 Dennis S 2 5153507 I agree with Dennis all the way. Crabcakes at Faidley's in Lexington Market in Baltimore is the way to go for sure. Tue Nov 03 16:30:40 -0800 2009 5153391 1118052 ineemeeny 3 5153570 Have been to Faidley's. Looking for something that I don't have to go into the city for. Something easy off and easy on....not necessarily "fast food". Maybe a crab shack somewhere near the baltimore area, but not in Baltimore. Will be going thru on a Sunday. Tue Nov 03 16:55:00 -0800 2009 5153507 142722 ncara 1 5153582 How about G&M Restaurant & Carry Out in Linthicum Heights? They have some of the meatiest crabcakes I've ever had. Fantastic value and it's right where the BW Pkwy meets 695. Tue Nov 03 17:00:58 -0800 2009 5153202 1118052 ineemeeny 2 5153660 I was underwhelmed by them and while generally equal, there are many votes against them. I think I heard that they used to be much better and either an ownership change or something else changed the quality. I love the space, but really was underwhelmed, and from the few reports I've read about other things, they're not really key on much. For me, I chalk it up to expectation that leads to disappointment. Trying to be fair and equal here. Tue Nov 03 17:31:36 -0800 2009 5153582 11368 Dennis S 1 5153883 Woody's Crabhouse in North East, MD is not too far off of I-95. Menu & Directions at http://www.woodyscrabhouse.com/ From I-95, take Exit 100, MD-272, towards North East. Straight through the lights at Rt.40 and Rt. 7, and continue into town. It's on the right Tue Nov 03 19:20:46 -0800 2009 5153202 271604 Chippewa29 1 5154278 There's a little roadside joint in Odenton, behind BWI Airport off Route 100, called Roy's Kwik Korner. They have a tasty crabcake and a really good crab soup. Wed Nov 04 03:32:33 -0800 2009 5153202 12359 monkeyrotica 1 5154459 Gunning's Seafood at MD 100 and Dorsey Road, very close to 95 and 295. Good crabcakes and you can call ahead for crabs to save time. Full bar as well. Wed Nov 04 05:52:13 -0800 2009 5153202 10933 flavrmeistr 1 5154506 Schultz's at 1732 Old Eastern Ave in Essex is close to the 695/95 Interchange and has great crabs and crab dishes with lots of Bawlmer ambiance. Wed Nov 04 06:13:40 -0800 2009 5153202 78012 treetop tom 1 5175690 In Burlington, NJ there is a place that I would classify as a joint or dive.....but it's a local favorite. I was taken there by a friends who are doctors from Princeton......they told me it's a popular place for all the hospital employees to meet for dinner......and it's 30 miles away. No frills dining.....but the crabs were fresh and great dipped in butter..... http://www.crabeatery.com/ Thu Nov 12 09:06:14 -0800 2009 5153202 123497 fourunder 1 5177035 If you want crabs (and other seafood) with no frills, that is totally fresh, head to the Maine Ave fish market area in DC (off of I-395). It is a fish market on one side and the other side has cooked crabs, crab chowder soups, steamed shrimp, etc. etc. Thu Nov 12 15:45:02 -0800 2009 5153202 61490 pgwiz1 1 5178170 If you want fresh blue crabs steamed to order as they should be and not reheated from cold (and God knows how old), off of 95 and right off of the Baltimore Beltway (695), I recommend "Conrads Crabs". Great crabs, they catch their own! www.conradscrabs.com Fri Nov 13 06:00:33 -0800 2009 5153202 12234 hon 2 5179601 That is exactly what I want. Are they open on Sundays??? Fri Nov 13 13:20:23 -0800 2009 5178170 142722 ncara 3 5179629 They are open on Sundays. Make sure you ask for the free crab paper to eat off of. Fri Nov 13 13:27:35 -0800 2009 5179601 12234 hon
