I've been to lexington several times as a kid, and went at least once a week while at U MD down the street. Yes, there are some shady people in the market, but you're in Bmore, did you expect Mayberry? Keep an eye on your wallet and bags, its no big deal. As for the food, there are plenty of... more

Locals on other sites may come to its defense, and I came there with an open mind, but sorry, this place is a toilet. Dirty, rundown, and crammed full of stands serving mostly inferior food, primarily of the fried variety. Produce looked like rejects from the grocery store. Local hanging-out people zeroed in on my camera from 100 yards away.... more

I was visiting Baltimore for a swim meet and decided to visit Lexington Market with my 11-year-old daughter. The bright spot is the crabcakes at Faidley's were absolutely the best I've ever had. The bad thing is it is a pit. We ate at a table on the second floor so we could people watch. The place was filled with... more

being born in Baltimore, i have been to Lexington Market NUMEROUS times. My Dad and I would stop in, get some oysters, count the pig heads, get a deli sandwich, then always grab a couple bags of fresh roasted peanuts and head to an Orioles game. I was 8 then. It has gone a little downhill since then, i wouldnt... more

I live in Baltimore County, I`m not that old, however I have been to Lexington Market countless times. It is a very seedy place honestly & from the time I was younger, I never felt safe in that place. There is a lot going on. They have some pretty good food but I am not too sure about their sanitation.... more

When I visit other cities, I like to go to the places where the locals go. Sometimes they might be off the beaten path or not in an ideal neighborhood but, they are usually where I have the best, most authentic experiences. People who work in Baltimore don't eat at Harbor Place, they often eat in the city markets. Lexington... more

Four of us went to Lexington Market in search of breakfast after being tempted by the Omelet Slideshow, based on the name alone. What we found was not a restaurant but a marketplace on the questionable side of town. There are a number of stands inside the market, but it appears that many of them contain the same or very... more

I live in the suburbs of Baltimore City and was near the Lexington Market area and decided to stop in. I was browsing the many stands when a cheese cake caught my eye. I decided to purchase a 1/2 cherry cheese cake from the Bergers Cake and Cookie stand. When I arrived home, I decided to take a slice immediatedly.... more

Yes, the neighborhood isn't the best and yes, it is seedy and shabby. However, I've walked through scarier neighborhoods in my time. We took the light rail to get there and had to walk a bit more than a block to get there from the stop. Not one person bothered us--in fact, some said "hello" as we passed them. The... more
