Pappas Seafood Co.

Stopped at Pappas while visiting Baltimore based on a local’s recommendation and it did not disappoint. Definitely the best crab cake I’ve ever tasted. The chunks of crab were tender and flavorful. I’ve had crab cakes with overly mushy filling, but these had a great ratio of filling and a wonderful mouthfeel. I would definitely opt to buy a whole tub and cook at home if I were a local. We also tried the deviled eggs and seafood egg roll which were both excellent. The deviled eggs could have used a bit more crab on top or in the egg yolk mixture, but were still great deviled eggs. The seafood egg roll was a truly unique dish—a great combination of seafood, crispy egg roll wrapper, and a nice spice in the dipping sauce. Service was fast, friendly, and helpful. The person taking our order a

Ordered Crab(less)Dip. More Lump would be nice. The presentation wasn't what I expected. The pretzels were HARD & stuck together. The dip was greasy/oily as well. I took a photo for a better understanding.

Let me tell you something—Pappas Seafood Co. does not play when it comes to seafood! This ain’t my first plate from them, but it’s the first time I had to stop mid-bite like, “Yeah… they need a review for this!” That crab cake? All real crab, no filler lies. Mashed potatoes? Creamy and smooth like they were made with love. And those steamed shrimp? Whew! Seasoned just right with a little kick, juicy and full of flavor. Pappas stays consistent, and that’s why they’ll always get my coins. Period.

Went in to order carryout, when they asked what vehicle I was in an said ill just wait in here I was told they don't let people wait inside for carryout food. I expressed the last time I ordered it was a non issue that I waited inside for my food again well that's only supposed to be for raw carry out, so I told the girl if that was the case then cancel my order I won't be ordering anything then all of a sudden it was oh no you can wait inside it's not a problem. Wanted to take my my money buy I wasn't welcome in the building!!!

I’m a Baltimore native and must say this is the only place to go if you want the best crabmeat ever! I’ve tried every ‘Maryland style’ crabcake there is and nothing comes close! Their lumps of crab meat are so large it looks like chicken. Their crab cakes are probably 90% crab meat with barely any other filling/breading. Everywhere else makes crab cakes with 10-20% crabmeat and the rest is breading mix. And Pappas imperial sauce is to die for. My go to meal at Pappas is the Crab Imperial. Crab cakes are my 2nd go to. The Pappas restaurant on Taylor Ave has a great cozy atmosphere with awesome wait staff. Now that I live in Florida, I still get to enjoy Pappas by ordering online to be shipped next day air. If shipping is too high just think of it as the tip you’re not paying for di
