"Say "crab cake" in Baltimore and someone will inevitably reply "Pappas." This 8-ounce mound of crab, lightly crisped on the outside and moist on the inside, with jumbo lumps stole our hearts... This one is a winner for hometowners and out-of-towners alike." --Baltimore Magazine, 2013

For all of the hype about their crabcakes, Pappas was a waste of time and money. The location was in the lobby of a second rate hotel. It was dark, industrial and not at all appealing. The waitstaff was pleasant but they didn't make up for the simply bad food. The Caesar salad had out of the jar cheap dressing and out of the package croutons on limp romaine. The crabcake itself was unremarkable and the steamed broccoli that I ordered as a side was horribly overcooked and tasteless.

I brought 8 out of town guest to sample Baltimore’s Best crab cakes. We made reservations. On arrival, the lights were off and they had to open the restaurant for us. The crab cakes were over cooked - a dark brown very crusty outside layer. They were “out” of some of the sides, despite my party being the only ones there. I was significantly embarrassed and apologized to my guest. Never again!!!!!

I was so sad when we left this restaurant. We love the Pappas in Glen Burnie and were so hopeful for this location that is near the Hippodrome theater. We arrived at six with a few people in the bar. No one in the restaurant side. We hear voices in the kitchen but no one came out. The security guard asked us where we wanted to sit. A female waitress gave us menus and left. Then a gentleman took our food order. Drinks took a while. We asked for a check since we were on a time schedule. Received the check it was wrong, waited for new check, while still lots of conversation in the kitchen with no regard to the customers. The food was good like at other locations. The service was unforgivable. We will not be to this restaurant again.

No one came to our table for 20 minutes. Food order placed but took over an hour for burgers. All items were over cooked, chicken tenders were extremely dry and tasteless and sides were incorrect. No one came back to check on us for over 25 minutes so we could not ask for anything else. Waiter tried to compensate by giving us free drinks but 4 kids at table so no one wanted drinks. Manager eventually came to table and offered 15% off for a horrible experience. Would not go back.

Despite some of the poor reviews regarding bad service and cold food my husband and I decided to give it a try as we've eaten at other Pappas' and my husband loves the crab cakes. Service was extremely slow. At least half an hour after we gave our order our food had not arrived. Was it a poorly run kitchen, a neglectful waitress? It wasn't a busy restaurant--there was only two other tables besides ours (one with two people, one with one person). When the food finally did arrive, it was sub-par and cold. The crab cake was good but the side of broccoli was cold. Our salads was small and uninteresting. My hamburger had a piece of lettuce that was rotted and which I removed. Meanwhile, as part of a sports bar, the TVs were blaring and the lights were very bright. A very disappointing evening. Pappas, you need new management/oversight at Inner Harbor!

Very disappointing as we are accustomed to the other Pappas restaurants and this one failed miserably. They originally said we had to eat at the bar because the restaurant was closed even though it opened at 5 but they had no server for the dining room. Then they said it was okay fir the dining room because someone came in. The crab cakes were not good. They had so much old bay they were literally orange inside and they had a lot of filler. The broccoli came out cold and I asked if it had butter on it & she said they put butter in the water when they boiled it. Then she did bring out butter she had melted in the microwave but then it kind of jelled because the broccoli was cold. We asked if they would validate our parking because it cost $20.00 to park but they said no because the Manager was not there and they had no validation tickets to give us. So overall it was a very poor & disappointing experience & one I will never do again & will not recommend the place.
