We Went at 2:00 P.M. to avoid crowds and this strategy worked. The waitress was attentive did not try to rush us and waited for us to finish a course before bringing the next one. The seafood was up to their usual high standard.

Pappas crab cakes & crab imperial are worthy of excellent ratings and never disappoint, especially in these difficult times!
Our server, Ethan was especially attentive and right on the mark - kudos to him & the kitchen staff!

Awesome experience

WE dined in at Pappas on a Thursday night. Not that many people and tables were spaced apart. Food was delicious. The crab cake is the best in town and the Orange Roughy was very tasty and cooked to perfection. We also got a dessert to take home, triple chocolate mousse cake. It was creamy and delectable. It was a very nice dinner out.

My birthday dinner was amazing

Pappas' crab cakes cannot be beaten, and this is from a native Baltimorean. If you have not tried them, you should!

Originally set for 2, but our son joined us for dinner. Hightop table was reserved for us just as we asked. Couldn't be more pleased.

Worth the trip. Good tasty food.reasonable price good service

I appreciated Pappa's commitment to providing a safe environment for a rare dinner out. The service was attentive without being overwhelming. I had crab mac and cheese, that was cheesy and crabby in the best way.

Crab cakes are good, need a little more seasoning. They could use a little facelift too.

Haven’t been for several years and wanted a special place to celebrate our Anniversary. We were not disappointed with the food and service. Definitely will be returning.

My sister and I went 10/31/20. Our service and server were great. We were seated and waited on promptly. Our server was very friendly and took his time going over the menu and answering our questions. I had red snapper, which was prepared to perfection and my sister had steak with crab imperial, which she loved. Everything from wait times, to food, to waitstaff, was perfect. And, the price was excellent!

Staff very friendly and professional. Food very good and consistent.

We found Pappas Restaurant through a Web search for best restaurants near Cockeysville, MD, on our way to a 3-day stay in Gunpowder Falls State Park. The online reviews were right about the excellence of the crab cakes, which my wife and I both ordered on our first visit. We loved the meal so much that we stopped in again for lunch 3 days later, on our way back home. On this second visit, we had the crab-stuffed jumbo shrimp (actually, 3 jumbo shrimp stuffed inside the equivalent of a Pappas full-size crabcake) and broiled rockfish. Both of these dishes were absolutely delish. If you visit Pappas, make sure at least one entree has a crabcake (and everyone gets at least a bite!). We also split a bowl of cream of crab soup on each visit--something else not to miss.

In many visits to Pappas' in Cockeysville, for the first time - it appeared as though we were not assigned a server. After about 8 minutes of waiting patiently, a server approached us and asked if we had been helped. This was obviously not her assigned table; however, she proceeded to take care of us for the meal. Otherwise, the food was very good and we will return again!

Food was incredible! Service was great.

Celebrating promotion of a dear friend.

Fine hospitality! The butterflied medium well filet mignon was delicious! Homemade mashed potatoes, yummy! My husband had a delicious 8oz lump crabcake (no shells) with his filet. Mrs. Pose's coconut cake was moist and delicious! This was a wonderful place to celebrate our anniversary!

Average place don’t know what more to say

Excellent crab cakes!!

Made a last minute adjustment when some friends decided to join us. Had hoped for a booth but was able to get a hightop instead which worked out okay. Food was delicious as always and servers Todd and Chuck came by regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. Always a pleasure to dine here.

During this time Pappas is not as busy as usual. The food was good and service okay.

GREAT FOOD AND SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes I would recommend this location

This restaurants exceeded exceptations. The crab cakes are exceptional and the service is amazing.

My grandson and I had a delicious lunch and felt very comfortable with the safety measures in place!

A good dining experience. Would have been great if the food was heated a little more through and the server offered us dessert or coffee before just brining the check.

Heather did a fantastic job. She kept our drinks full and never missed an empty plate. We are a hunting club and were 8 men on this particular night. We can be a bit "smart" at times and Heather could have been sitting with us she was that good!

Love visiting Pappas for the crabcakes! Sooo good! My go-to place for great crab cakes!

Prices were reasonable. I ate out doors and had a nice talk with the couple at the table across the way.

Try to get here every week. A little more crowded this time. Capacity opening up making it a bit more difficult to get a seat in the bar. OpenTable only allows you to make a reservation but not choose where to sit. In any event, being busier, service was a little slower. The manager, Jason, did stop by and say hello. Meals are always delicious.

We sat in the dining room which the tables were separated for Covid. The service was excellent and the food was good. Nice to get out again. While this probably not a good time to remodel, I think it is time for one.

Excellent service and great crab cakes. Totally worth it!

Food is superb. First time dining in & got to sit at Oprah's table. Brought a friend who had NEVER heard of PAPPAS & she was blown away with the food. She had the crab cake & insists we make this our go to place for seafood. My favorite is the stuffed shrimp.

Great food—crab cakes—as always! Service good.

The salmon as well as the fried oysters were excellent.

Sat in the bar area with another couple, great time!

Great service and good

Typical sports bar atmosphere with lots of big tv’s for good sports viewing. I enjoyed the Greek salad. Good drinks and sandwiches. The calamari was crisp and tasty, but very chewy.

Great date night. The food was delicious and our server was very attentive.

The special Chilean sea bass & crab was phenomenal
My companions enjoyed the crab cake ( best in Baltimore) crab imperial & seafood risotto
They all thought the dishes were outstanding
The service was fine but our server had too many tables so the manager took our order & got our drinks & had Someone deliver our food
I would go back in an instant
The vibe the food & the curtsey were wonderful
