A true local gem with a welcoming atmosphere and an incredibly friendly bartender. The highlight of our visit was the crab cake—pure, unadulterated crab with no unnecessary fillers, just fresh, succulent crab meat encased in a perfectly crisp, golden-brown crust. Every bite was a delight! If you're looking for an authentic experience with great service and amazing food, this spot is a must-visit.

I come here every time I'm in Baltimore and they never disappoint. This time as you can see I got the wings and fries and yes they were hot, yummy then gone. Dudas is kinda like the neighborhood pub just come and chill. As always thanks for the good time!

Some of the best crab cakes anywhere. It’s their signature dish and they aren’t lying. Hard working and pleasant server who efficiently covered the whole place. Not a fancy restaurant- more like a small bar with great food and a wide selection of beer on tap and in bottles.

Fun stop when visiting Fells point in Baltimore. Lump crab cakes were excellent, but I recommend asking what the “market” price is before ordering a bunch of them!

Got back to my go to spot in Fells Point. I was there early to find it empty, but it soon started to fill in. Tried the Amish chicken soup, which was great followed by the fish and chips. Both were great and I was happy to have tried them. Check this place out if you are in the area.

Great local family-owned spot with extremely friendly and attentive service. The crab cake was very expensive (30) but was really good, with large chunks of crab barely held together with a small amount of batter. However, I thought it should at least come with a salad or fries instead of a bag of chips and saltines for the price. The bartender/server was great though and made great recommendations for beers.
