Trying to call ahead hasn't really worked in my favor either so really you just gotta catch em when they open. I think if they were more consistent in answering the phone and actually being open during the stated hours of operation I would have given 4 or more stars but it's almost as if the business doesn't want to be a business . Do yall want patrons or not ? The inconsistency, the lack of answering the phone and the slight attitude when they actually are open is a bit of a turn off. Other than that the crabs are actually really season well, are pretty decent in size and meat AND they taste like they are steamed and NOT boiled. So please get better with your advertising correct hours of operation AND answer the phones at minimum.

I was so excited to revisit S. DiPaula Seafood after a 2 year absence. I was also pleased to learn…read morethat they sell genuine Maryland crabs. So I called one day recently and ordered a dozen steamed medium males for $39, along with some corn. It should be noted that I don't remember the place being such a dump. It really looks decrepit; I wonder how they even pass inspection? Anyway, I was looking back fondly on my past experience, and just ignored that detail... The staff was very nice, and my order was ready on time as promised. The bag of crabs (and corn) seemed heavy enough. But when I got home and dug into them, I was disappointed! Here are my takeaways. - At least half of the crabs were light as a feather, with mostly water and little meat, so I guess those crabs had recently molted. - Only a few crabs had both of their mature claws. The rest had either one normal and one small claw, or one claw was missing entirely. That's a sign of poor handling and/or poor selection. - There was so little meat that they seemed to be smalls rather than mediums. Only four of the twelve were actually heavy and what I would consider to be medium crabs. - Many claws when cracked squirted out water, and the meat was miniscule relative to the shell size. This is August, so I was expecting much heavier crabs. I wish Maryland would require watermen to *weigh* their crabs as well as *measure* them from point to point. Throw back the lightweight ones in order to let them fatten up. So all in all, not a great experience. I won't be going back. (The corn was good, though.)

Everyone at the repast kept talking about how delicious they were! I also want to give a special thank you to Craig, he was incredibly helpful through multiple phone calls, making sure we ordered exactly what we needed for our guests. During such a difficult time, his patience, professionalism, and excellent customer service made the process so much easier. When we arrived to pick up our order, the staff helped load all four bushels into our vehicle and made sure to inform us of safe handling instructions when we reached our destination. That level of care and attention to detail really stood out. From the outstanding quality of the crabs to the exceptional customer service, Waverly Crabs went above and beyond. They helped make an important day for our family just a little easier, and for that we're truly grateful. I highly recommend them and will definitely be ordering from them again!

After doing a google research , I learned that the crabs I purchased had barnacles attached to their shell.

I was in Baltimore for a few days earlier this week and decided to finally check Faidley's Seafood…read moreoff my food list. It's located inside Lexington Market, not too far from the Inner Harbor. Parking can be a headache downtown, but there's a garage directly across the street, which makes things a little easier. I ordered the crab cake sandwich, fries, and mac and cheese. I like to consider myself a bit of a crab cake connoisseur, and I'd give this one about a 3.7-4.0 out of 5. It was a nice size and definitely a solid crab cake, but flavor-wise, I've had better. I also didn't feel like it had quite as much jumbo lump crab meat as I expected. The mac and cheese was actually really good--great consistency and flavor. The fries were pretty standard, nothing bad, but nothing memorable either. Customer service was excellent. The young lady who helped us was very friendly and helpful. The only strange part was the seating. Even though they have tables, there aren't any chairs or stools, so if you eat there, you're standing up at the table. Definitely something to know beforehand. Overall, Faidley's was good. The crab cake wouldn't make the top of my personal list, but it definitely wasn't near the bottom either. If you're in the area and you like crab cakes, I'd say it's worth trying. They also have plenty of other seafood options, so I'd probably go back and try something different next time.
