Stop what you're doing and run, don't walk, to Krause's Lite Fare. This restaurant specializes in Thanksgiving style turkey meals and assorted sandwiches. If you like thanksgiving cuisine, you can get it all year round here. Admittedly, I was enticed by the Turkey but opted for an ol' reliable: chicken salad sandwich. I spiced it up with Salt, Pepper, Old Bay, avocado and bacon. It was and is one of the best chicken salad sandwiches I have ever had. The quality of the chicken is immediately apparent and the flavor is really delicious. To top it off, prices are well in my range. A basic sandwich will likely not exceed $10 and for a meal you can get with less than $20. Beware: the portions are huge and glorious! I have already come back and reordered this sandwich twice, and there will be more visits to come... read more

They changed from butterball turkey to another brand...it's a very noticeable difference...not nearly as good...way too chewy

Don't let the giant turkey sandwich photos fool you... I was fooled and ordered this absolute monster of a sandwich. To my dismay, this girthy boy was DRYER THAN THE SAHARA DESERT. Good god almighty i damn near died. Make sure you have a gallon of water ready because that turkey had no moisture!! Whoever is in check of quality control of the meats must either be on vacation or is sporting a blind fold because LORD how does it get to that point!? I should sue the establishment for almost choking to death, but I'll leave it at a 1 star review read more

This great lunch spot inside Lexington market is a must visit. I got the gobbler for only $13 and it was packed with meat. The best thing about it is they let you customize what kind of bread, cheese and condiments you can add to your sandwich. They also freshly carved the turkeys right in front of you. The ambience has the hustle and bustle of Lexington market but plenty of seating to enjoy your sandwich. read more

Krause's was a quick spot to grab a fresh sandwich while in Lexington Market. I ordered a Fresh Carved Turkey on pumpernickel with pepper jack, lettuce, tomato, spicy mustard and pepper. Price came to $9.95. The sandwich was stacked high with freshly carved turkey. Heck of a portion! Overall it wasn't the best sandwich I've had, but far from the worst. Just a solid fresh sandwich served by a friendly staff. Definitely one of the healthier choices in the market, but the other places are hard to pass up too! Thanks guys! read more

Pro: portion sizes, freshly carved turkey. Grow: overall texture. Thanksgiving in July? I think yes! I've been traveling in Baltimore and was in need of a light lunch. I stumbled across the Lexington Market and this specific sandwich spot stood out to me. I loved that they have giant turkeys on display and you can see them carving out the turkey. The service was wonderful and fast. The sandwich itself was about $12 and was packed. Food: I was debating between the thanksgiving sandwich or the turkey BLT. I decided to give the Thanksgiving sandwich a try given it was very unique. The sandwich had a layer of cranberry sauce and stuffing and was stacked with turkey! For $12, this was such a a great deal, I opted for potato bread and although it was good I think it was a bit too soft and the texture was a bit off of the overall sandwich. I think a crunchier bread would suit this sandwich better, perhaps they can toast it? Overall, this is a great spot for a yummy and affordable lunch. read more

I've been meaning to try this place for a while and finally did today; I had the best turkey club I've ever purchased. It tasted just like one you'd make at home the day after Thanksgiving. The staff were very friendly and the service was fast. I'm happy this business survived the remodel and pandemic. This place is levels above Jersey Mike's, whom I also really enjoy, but Krause's hits different. read more

2nd stop on my Lexington Market tour was for a turkey sandwich. This place sells sammiches ;) omg it's enough for two honestly so I ate half when I get got home the other half later. You have tons of toppings options as well as bread. I will say I was expecting a thicker bread for such a massive sandwich. Service was friendly and helpful. We both had a laugh and I see why they stay busy. Again use market seating. I've found my favorite turkey sandwich spot! read more

As I was checking out the wide variety of food vendors, the roasted turkey's on display caught my attention. A great find. I opted for the turkey dinner which was shared with three people. It was bang for our buck. Very tasty, fresh and a nice Thanksgiving type meal in August read more

Krauses Lite Fare - Thanksgiving Sandwich on Kaiser Roll - Delis Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

My wife was intrigued by the fresh oven cooked turkey that was being carved in front of the customers with each order. She was even more intrigued by the Thanksgiving sandwich on the menu. So she went with the Thanksgiving sandwich with her choice of bread for her lunch. The sandwich contained layers of carved white meat turkey, a thick layer of stuffing, and cranberry sauce. I took a bite and it was absolutely delicious, tasted just like Thanksgiving dinner between two slices of bread. I think it costed $11.95, with it. Definitely we will return. read more

I've always wanted to try Krause lite fare since before the new Lexington market. so I happen to be in the neighborhood and decided to stop by to try it out. I got the turkey dinner.

Maybe I'll try the sandwich next time. read more

Fantastic home-made food! I'm in the county, so it's not the most easily accessible place on earth, but it's well worth the trip to Lexington Market. read more

If you go to Lexington Market this is the place to go. Food is always fresh and the service is great. The fresh carved turkey, mashed potatoes and green beans will definitely put you in a food coma. You always get plenty and they're meals are reasonably priced. A must try! read more

Krause is a common German surname and American soldiers in WWII would refer to the Nazi enemy as Krause sometimes. Anyway, Krauses Lite Fare makes amazing turkey sandwiches. Get a basic one, or step up your game and grab a Thanksgiving Sandwich (juicy carved turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce). I recommend getting it on a roll with mayonnaise and salt/pepper. Or, just get a straight turkey dinner plate even if it's not November. The prices are fair and service is relatively quick. There isn't really a line since it's bakery style where you just walk up the counter and get the attention of one of the workers. I'd definitely come back for that juicy fowl meat! read more

Been eyeing this place for a while in the Lexington market. Finally decided to try it out for lunch. Ordered the Thanksgiving sandwich on potato bread. So delicious! For sandwich, bag of chip and bottle of soda was about $11. Great lunch and would definitely stop by again to try other menu items. read more

Krauses Lite Fare - Turkey carved sandwich on pumpernickel... only 1/2! - Delis Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I visited the Krauses Lite Fare at the newly renovated Lexington Market and I was unimpressed honestly. I liked when I could see them carve the turkey and make my sandwich. The service was wonderful as always. I ordered the Thanksgiving turkey sandwich and it seems like it has changed, especially the stuffing on the sandwich. It lacked seasonings, celery and onion, like in previous sandwiches I have had there. And the cranberry sauce also lost the good flavor. I will return, but I will just buy the regular turkey sandwich. read more

The thanksgiving turkey sandwich was to die for. I am an avid lover of thanksgiving turkey sandwiches and this one did not disappoint at all. It was probably one of the best I've ever had. I will definitely eat here again. The staff were friendly and kind! It's a busy food court but it's fun getting to see all the different businesses. Park in the garage across the street. read more

Great Turkey Rueben sandwich - best I can remember having in a long time! Friendly, efficient service. Reasonable price for high quality.

Come on how can you not love this place? Fresh roasted Turkey carved to order just like thanksgiving. I don't know if its exactly light fare, but it was delicious and not greasy or extremely fattening. The Turkey was juicy and perfectly cooked, the potatoes were purely potatoes, beans were traditional, the gravy was simple and delicious, lastly the stuffing was only ok. The experience when you come here is really fun. Ordering in the market, eating here, it's just truly Baltimore. My mom suggested just getting their meals for thanksgiving this year, the turkey might be better than hers. Also you can't beat the price for the portion. Also heads to people who want to eat but aren't that hungry, they do serve half sandwiches. read more

Krauses Lite Fare - Turkey dinner - Delis Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This is one of my favorite places in the area to grab a hearty turkey sandwich for lunch. Here, they carve slices off of whole turkeys for the sandwiches. I usually opt for the Thanksgiving sandwich (turkey, cranberry, stuffing) or Turkey with a Grass Skirt (Turkey with shredded lettuce and sprouts) on a roll. Here you get a large variety of breads to choose from (standard bread fare, nothing out of the ordinary). The past few years, I haven't had a typical American Thanksgiving dinner, so this Thanksgiving sandwich really seals the deal for me. If you're ever feeling reminiscent of Thanksgiving eats, you can get this sandwich year-round. Located in Lexington Market, across from the Faidley's. read more

Their turkey sandwich will make you not want to eat a turkey sandwich from anywhere else. My wife took me (because she knows how much I love a good turkey sandwich) and I have been a fan. You can see them cutting up a turkey to put it on your sandwich, not cryo vac, or deli meat turkey this is the real deal. If you even like turkey, do yourself a favor and try it out. read more

Their turkey dinner is simply fantastic. A huge portion of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy and green beans for $10.99. Fresh turkey off the bone. A must visit for a Lexington Market trip. read more

The turkey here is pretty solid and it's the only place in Lexington Market that sells roast turkey sandwiches - none of that cold cut stuff. The owner makes sure that his turkey is high quality - they roast the birds every morning. If you talk to the him, he'll tell you how he has perfected the roasting process and how even 5 minutes over cooked makes a huge difference. I have to respect a guy to cares that much about roasting his birds properly. I got the Thanksgiving Sandwich which was delicious. The turkey wasn't too dry and there was just enough stuffing and cranberry sauce. I have also discovered that he carries a chipotle ranch sauce so I might try that next time with the grass skirt sandwich. read more

At the Krauses Lite Fare at the 400 W Lexington Market St. All customers, please do the math before purchasing any food. They overcharge on the state sales tax. The sales tax is 6%. I was charged 14.2% sales tax for a $6.50 turkey sandwich!! I was charged $7.42, instead of $6.89!! Several customers were Overcharged! Again, use caution and do your math! read more

whenever i am down, the amazing chicken noodle soup warms me right up. in fact, i crave it every single cold day and at this very moment. big chucks of tender chicken with an amazing broth of carrots and celery. it is crazy that is so cheap!!! every person should go to lexington market and try their amazing selection of foods for an amazing affordable prize. read more

Great lunch spot in the Market. All turkeys are roasted fresh and the meat is cut right off the bird just before they make your sandwich. The stand is easily accessed if you come in through Faidleys (it's to the immediate left when you enter the main market through there). Lines always move quickly. Would recommend any turkey sandwich or the soups, but only because I haven't had the rest of their menu - everything always looks good! read more

This place is great and a healthy option in Lexington market. The turkey is always very good and while the sandwiches are nothing fancy (regular sandwich bread and regular lettuce, tomato, mustard or mayo toppings), it is just plain good! I really like their turkey chili as well. It's the perfect choice when you are coming down with a cold. read more

Ordered my Thanksgiving Day Turkey from them this year. I was not disappointed. It was juicey, tender and full of mouth watering yumminess. Doing it again for Christmas. The price was reasonable too. Thanks guys!! read more

It's been years since I've ventured to Lexington Market. After leaving UM Dental School I needed a quick soft meal for later today. Everything looked good so I ordered a variety of items to try. Chicken salad (I haven't tried it yet ) I will taste it tomorrow. I poured off most of the broth, in the chicken noodle soup, it was salty. The noodles & vegetables were good. I also decided to get 3 turkey dinners w/mashed potatoes, green beans, dressing, & gravy. The portions were large-enough for meals, fresh, and hot. Mom & mom-in-law both enjoyed their dinners. I'm certain I'll be stopping back in on my follow up visits to UMD. read more

The ONLY place worth going to is Krause's Lite Fare. For get Fartin' Faidleys and all the other places who live on long ago earned laurels that no longer apply. Faidleys Crabcakes are a disgrace. But, I digress. Did you know that ANY times you want a full Thanksgiving dinner, fresh and homemade that costs less than 10 dollars? Fresh cooked Turkey, carved right then and there, home made gravy. Steamed Veggies, Mashed Taters and gravy and Stuffing, which is my fave. The amount you get will feed you for 3 meals. No lie. The people who work there are so sweet and nice and really wrap it all up secure so its piping hot when you get home. Seriously, Krause's is the ONLY reason I venture to the hellhole of crack heads and meth mouths that is Lexington Market. Also try their Thanksgiving Sandwich. Turkey, gravy, Mash, Stuffing and Cranberry Sauce.....Mmmmmm. I gave my mom some of my Thanksgiving Dinner I got today and she said "You can't beat that, even if you make it at home" And she would know. She makes the best Stuffing. Right out the Turkeys Ass. Only way to make it. read more
