pappas restaurant

pappas totaly sucks!. restaurant alert!!! my family and i attendedpappasrestaurant on taylor ave. for mother's day and had a totally disappointing experience. to start with there was a very limited menu with only the highest price dishes offered. with each meal you are allowed 2 side but had only 6 sides to choose from and 3 of them were potatoes (mashed, baked or french fries). then you could choose from either cold slaw, asparagus or apple sauce and that was the only sides and customer could choose.....yuk! no corn, no green beans, no cesar salad and if you ordered a steak you could not get mushrooms or onions either. to make matters worse we had reservations, we were seated promptly at 1:00 o'clock but it took over an hour to get our meal. the service all the way around was poor. we couldn't get a drink refill without asking for it and every request took an extended period of time to be filled. the portions were small and my crab cakes were not very good. our meals were extremely over priced. the creme of crab soup appetizer cost $4.99 and was maybe an 8 ounce cup. the menu never said it was only a cup. ok you got me, i should have asked. and it was not just us, the people at the table next to us were complaining to the waitress about the lack of crab meat in their over priced appetizer. the whole experience was so bad withpappasexploiting the mother's day holiday with expensive meals and small portions that they will never get a chance at mine or my families business again. there is more but i'll stop here.

stepping into the original parkville location ofpappasis like stepping into a time machine. while the decor is on the old-fashioned side and the customers are, too, their lumpy 8-ounce crab cakes are a thing of beauty. they use colossal lump crab and darn little filler. they’re not overly spiced, either, so the sweet sweet flavor of the blue crab shines. if you’re looking for a pile of unadulterated crab, pappas’ is your place.   $$ 1725 taylor ave, baltimore, md http://pappasparkville.com       4. great sage i’m now going to make your head spin. while there are plenty of really good crab cakes around that use actual crab, one of my all time favorites is a crab cake made with no crab at all . that’s right–a vegetarian crab cake. vegan, to be exact, because great sage, in clarksville, about 25 miles outside of baltimore, serves no animal products of any kind. their “crab” cake is made with shredded hearts of palm, the moist texture of which mimics crab in a quite convincing manner. bo

back on track. i know i said i never return , but on sunday i found a 25.00 gift cert so we went topappassunday eve . it was great , food came hot and everything was great . tom waited on us , and was very good . i guess my last visit was just a bad day we all have from time to time . i am glad to be proven wrong , good places are hard to find !

we are visiting baltimore and have had crab cakes 4 times in 4 days.pappaswere definitely the best! great east coast restaurant with killer crab cakes!!

take your pick at pappas. they aim to please from old bay seasoned steamed crabs at their carryout to the sports bar and lounge where stepping on peanut shells is a common occurence to the fine dining restaurant section with white unprotected table linens . wow!pappasdeserves to be recognized as one of baltimore's best restaurants. my review informal and unannounced was simply girl's night out. i had the opportunity of dining here once before after landing in baltimore. i was told by a buddy , "you have to try their crabcake." in search of somewhere to dine, i told a girlfriend of mine "let's do pappas. you have to try their crabcake." when dining in the fine dining section, your evening will begin with a fresh cucumber relish and bread. the cucumber and celery has the crunch snap of freshness. there are a number of economically priced daily specials. t
