    For a house warming present my parents ordered me the meal for two (2 crab cakes, 2 stuffed shrimp, and 2 crab soups). Living in Florida it's near impossible to find a decent crab cake unless you make it yourself. Having never had seafood delivered I was a bit skeptical of receiving them. Once they arrived my worries were put to rest, the package was well insulated with several ice packs so the food was nice and cold. The package included easy instructions so there was no way to mess up. The crab cakes were good size with very minimal filling and had giant chunks of crab. My first bite reminded me of being back in Catonsville. The shrimp were big and has plenty of stuffing. The imperial sauce that they were topped with was delicious. I've had plenty of crab cakes in my life and this one certainly didn't disappoint. I already thanked mom and pops so thank you Pappas for sending a delicious meal down to the sunshine state!

    You only have to be in this place once to understand why this says it all!

    This place is a staple if you live on or around Taylor Ave and Perring Pkwy... I used to live around the corner a few years back and in the summer time you could smell the crabs and shrimp steaming. Going in this place was a small piece of Americana, no frills, no fancy decor. Just good well cooked seafood and fresh seafood to take home and make your cookout or dinner special! One of my favorites is the Health Slaw just like cole slaw but without the mayo. Its not someplace that you would drive across Baltimore to get to but it is a place that you rely on for the quality they give you!! Thank You Hales Seafood for decades of great service and food!!!

    Sold out, so sad!

    Hot Damn! Crab cakes and steamers cooked or raw, for there or to go. I was on the hunt for the best crab cakes in Baltimore and a few web searches lead me to Pappas Seafood. We opted to get a few bites to go and eat them right there as we were in a time crunch and there was definitely more to eat and see. The crab cakes were golden brown. Lightly fried and they didn't ruin the sanctity if the crab. No wonder they won 20 awards in just 4 years! The steamed crabs are also supposed to be very good however they were sold out. That's usually a sign of them doing something right. Desserts are not made in house but don't cheat yourself. Get yourself a miniature cheesecake, mousse cake or slice to go. You won't be disappointed. Next time I'm going to make it to the sit down restaurant. Pro tip: don't waste time with the crab soup. There's not much crab nor crab flavor but seriously, everything else I had was top notch. I will be back.

    I've always heard about Pappa's crab cakes. About how they're some of the best in town. I figured I'd check it out to see if it was all hype. Well let me tell you, it lived up to its reputation. The crab cakes were to die for. Barely any filler, nice (HUGE) chunks of crab meat, great flavor. Honestly, of all the crab cakes I've eaten since I've lived in Maryland, these are easily in the top 3. I ordered the surf and turf - a 9 oz filet and an 8 oz crab cake. Cost was as expected, not overpriced. The filet was extremely tender and cooked perfectly to a medium doneness, just as I had asked for. It needed a tad more seasoning though - it was a little bland. Just a pinch more salt would have made it perfect. While our waitress was nice, she did make an error that was pretty frustrating. Another member of my party ordered a crab cake meal, and she apparently put it in as crab balls originally, realized she had made the mistake, and rather than voiding out the crab balls and putting in the correct order for crab cakes, she simply voided out the crab balls while forgetting to put the crab cake order in. So when everyone else's food came, she realized what she had done and put in the order for crab cakes. She said she put a rush request on it; however, we all had time to finish our entire meals and his food was still not out. It was frustrating, but it was a mistake. We all make them. In the end he got his food and it was great. The waitress was extremely apologetic, and the manager took 25% off of our bill. She also offered us free dessert. So in the end, they did fix it. The way they handled it was great, no complaints there. All in all, I can see why Pappa's has the reputation that it has. I'll definitely be back.

    I stopped here one night after work to get a crab cake. The woman behind the glass taking the order needs a class on customer relations. She was rude and irritated when I asked her to repeat what she said. I then waited in the car roughly 25 minutes and a man brought it out to me. I had ordered fries and they were not in the bag. I went in and she said no you didn't. The crab cake was burnt on the bottom. I was not impressed and will never waste $ 28 again here on a small and burnt crab cake. They should be ashamed

    Decent place. Great big cakes with no filler. Crab soup equally good. Got a dozen large males steamed as well.

    Love their crab cakes, especially the catering mix so you can create your own size for hors d'oeuvres!

    The crab cakes were good. They were pretty fast with broiling them. I'm getting hungry thinking about it.

    Both the food and service was great. I especially enjoyed their crab imperial. The atmosphere is casual.
