The 30 best spots for lobster rolls in Baltimore

Went here for my graduation celebration and really enjoyed it. The location is beautiful with amazing views, the food was really good, and the service was great. We had a reservation and were seated right away with no wait, which made the night even better. Overall, I really liked this place and would definitely recommend it for a special occasion.

Wanted a Baltimore seafood experience and we were NOT disappointed. This place hit it out of the park on all levels. Starting with the warm bread, which I don’t often comment on but were hot and interestingly presented with a pour over accompaniment. I definitely wasn’t expecting much from a salad but I was pleasantly surprised. It was delicious as the dressing wasn’t just poured on, it was mixed throughout and then plated. The soup hit the spot, very crabby and creamy. The crab cakes were off the charts yummy. They were MUCH better than the picture could ever tell the story. We skipped dessert cuz there was noooo room in da belly. LOL. As a special note, Amanda, our server, was awesome, both friendly and knowledgeable in her recommendations to us. She definitely rounded out our experience. The view of the harbour is amazing looking back over the city.

Sunday Brunch is worth the price! Food delicious and a lot to choose from. Drinks, music. Just awesome! If visiting, this is the place to go before heading out on Sunday. Automatically 18% gratuity taken out. Service wasn't bad at all. Everyone was welcoming and kind.

I walked away incredibly satisfied with my visit to Rusty Scupper. I'd be remiss not to start by offering praise to our waitress Keirsten. Her exuberance, knowledge of the dishes, honesty, and overall charm set the right tone immediately! My daughter and I trained up from DC for day trip. We struggled to decide on Rusty Scupper or another high profile competitor. We believe we made the right choice. The scallops were cooked to perfection, the jumbo lump crab cakes the best I've ever had, the tuna carpaccio amazing, and the collard greens, game changing! We walked away more than satisfied! It was a great memory coupled with my first trip to Charm City!

This is a good spot for family events or dinners. The view of the harbor is awesome! It’s a huge restaurant, so if it’s busy, service can be spotty. The food is consistently good and portions are generous, but it’s a bit pricey for some menu items. It’s also rich food. Overall, it’s worth a try to see if you like it! The butter cake dessert is to die for!

Wonderful location on the water front, lovely views and atmosphere. Great service but for the cost the food was sorely lacking. Had fried seafood plate and was barely eatable, fish fried so hard that it was not recognizable, shrimp was good, but could not recognize what else was on the plate. All show.

Outstanding place. Can't beat the views of the Harbour. Food was excellent. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Waitress was great and understanding of our requests. Had a wonderful experience and when in Baltimore again, we will return...

Amazing Lobster Rolls! Mason's Famous Lobster Rolls definitely lives up to its name! The lobster is incredibly fresh, tender, and perfectly seasoned. I went with the classic roll, and it was packed with generous chunks of lobster that melted in my mouth. The buttered roll was lightly toasted and added a great crunch to each bite. The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was casual yet inviting. A must-visit for any seafood lover! I’ll definitely be back.

The experience was… average. I ordered a lobster roll, but I knew going in that I’d probably still be hungry afterward—so I added a hotdog to my order. Both were fine, nothing terrible, but nothing memorable either. The lobster roll could have used more flavor or a better portion size, and the hotdog was just okay. Overall, it wasn’t bad, but definitely not something I’d go out of my way for again.

A friend ordered the lobster Mac and cheese for me so I did not see the image on the delivery app. Even considering inflation, this was the saddest lobster mac I've ever had. The scraps of lobster were negligible and taken from the flastest of the apendages. Although pasta is cheap, even the pasta portion was small. The flavor could not make up for the size. The dish was creamy but bland. The lobster scraps were chewy. Maybe I just ordered the wrong dish but, based on my limited experience and the price point, I cannot recommend this restaurant. Photo shows portion size in the delivery bowl then in a regular bowl.

We got our lobster roll quick, it wasn’t too busy when we went. The roll was delicious. The bread was soft and buttery and warm and they did not skimp out of the lobster. Flavorful and well made

The lobster rolls were good but the lobster Mac and cheese had minimal lobster for 16 dollars. Would’ve gotten another lobster roll (20 dollars) if we knew. We also asked for more lobster because of the quality of the food and they said we would have to pay more. I’m disappointed at how little they gave us and the burnt edges on the plate with room temperature Mac and cheese.

Nothing famous about it. No flavor. And they doused the roll in some watered down buttery liquid that just made everything a soggy mess. Ended up just eating the lobster with a fork. Do not recommend.

I tried Mason’s Famous Lobster Company and was disappointed. The lobster was chewy and didn’t taste fresh. I’m glad I ordered it hot, but the butter overwhelmed what little flavor was there. The sandwich came on a white toasted bun, but overall it just wasn’t worth the money. I hope they work on sourcing fresher lobster in the future.

Great place to eat, it’s a must if you are traveling here visiting. The menu is insane so many great things to choose from. The Blue Crab Margarita is good lol. Don’t walk pass this place and go to Hard Rock Cafe next door. We had the Lobster Tacos it came with fries. Main dish was the Lobster Mac & Cheese / Fried Seafood Trio / Lobster & Shrimp Alfredo. Everything came out nice.

This is an excellent restaurant—and you get what you pay for. The Google Maps entry says the average price range is $30-50, but I really think it’s $50-70. Based on their current menu prices, it would be very difficult to get a complete meal for $30. That said, I had a great experience here. Our group was treated very well by the wait staff—friendly, attentive, often asked if we needed anything, and answered all of our questions immediately; very knowledgeable about the seafood dishes and the side dish and drink options. (NOTE: I forgot to take pictures of the food, except for the dessert tray!) I had the Barramundi Bites for the appetizer; this fish is an Asian sea bass, and the pieces were lightly breaded, tender, and the spicy sauce that came with it (in a separate bowl) complimented the fish well. I had the Ultimate Crab Cake for the entree, and it was quite good. I love crab cakes, and this one was as good as any I have had (and quite expensive). Tender breading, a good amount of crab, and seasoned well. For dessert, several of us shared the fudge brownie cake with ice cream. Very rich chocolate flavor! I enjoyed Phillips very much, but it’s the kind of place for special occasions, like the one our group was celebrating. I can’t afford to come here regularly.

Was super busy when we went and there was a wait, it was worth it though because the food was great. Our server was super sweet and knowledgeable about the menu, recommended some great dishes for us to try. The atmosphere was very nice and the food was delicious. We ordered the stuffed salmon, lobster roll and crab cake and steak meals. We all really enjoyed our food, it was cooked well and seasoned well. The presentation was also great.

The food here was simply divine! My family and I ordered the tuna poke nachos, broiled seafood trio, premium seafood trio, and the lobster roll, with an ice cream with brownie as dessert; they hit our spots! Numi our server was also attentive and cognizant of our needs. We will definitely be back next time we visit Baltimore.

The place was awesome. It was our first time and we love the food and ppl. I order the stuffed salmon and it was great. We will visit again and again. The atmosphere was beautiful made. Restrooms clean.

Great food and great service! We ordered the trio — the crab cakes were our favorite! The crab fries appetizer was delicious and full of flavor. Definitely recommend if you love good seafood! Seymor was a great server.

Our group wanted to get lunch before going to the National Aquarium. We got there right after they opened, so we were able to get a table immediately without a reservation (party of four). Our waitress was very nice and the food was delicious! Highly recommend for seafood lovers

I think this was overall one of the best restaurants I've been to. The thing that stood out most was the service, which I would describe as Michelin-lite. Multiple employees even other than our main server coming by frequently to switch out silverware and used plates as soon as we were finished with something. Our main server was new, being shadowed by one of the managers. She did a great job and you would never be able to tell she just started so it seems the quality of the service here starts from the very beginning. There were some deals on happy hour oysters. There were 4 dipping sauces to choose from which added a lot of customization to the flavor. Being based in the DMV and used to the prices there, it really seemed like we got great value on the food. Not sure if the portion size to price ratio is good for Baltimore standards but at least for us we were very happy with what we got for the price. I can recommend all of the dishes we got, the Iceberg Summer Salad, Clam Roll and Scallops, all worth it in my opinion. I will say the two people seated near us both got the lobster roll and it looked really good as well.

First time in Baltimore and enjoyed a wonderful lunch at this place! Our server was amazing. She knew the menu very well gave us amazing recommendations and overall the experience was great. We enjoyed oysters and of course a lobster roll. The lobster roll was perfect. It was perfectly cooked not tough and deliciously buttery. Thereafter, took a stroll by the waterfront. If you’re in the area, definitely a great place to stop and grab a bite.

The food was absolutely fantastic, with the lobster rolls being the star of the show. It was loaded with tender, succulent lobster meat, lightly dressed to enhance its natural sweetness, and served on a buttery bun . The crab cake was just as remarkable, filled with jumbo lump crab, minimal filler, and a crispy, golden exterior. Both dishes really showcased the restaurant’s commitment to fresh, high-quality seafood. The service was exceptional. Our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu.

The portions were generous, everything was fresh, and the atmosphere was nice. It was busy, so perhaps that’s why, but the service didn’t feel particularly warm or welcoming. The crab cake was absolutely delicious, and the scallop ceviche was fresh with an amazing balance of sweetness and lime—highly recommended. The salmon was a special, so I’m not sure if it’s always on the menu, but I really think they should keep it—many people would love it. Note that they close at 2:30 PM and reopen at 5:00 PM.

One of the best seafood spots I've ever been too. The oysters were fantastic, and the sheet they give you is very informative. The place is small and busy so make a reservation asap.

We had an exceptional all-around dining experience at the Thames. I ordered the Whole Aegean Bronzino with excellent spiced taste that just peeled off of the spine and with a tasty heirloom salad. Others ordered a variety of smooth raw oysters, the Lobster Roll, Fish and Chips, and the Crab Cake which we were all pleased were shared. Teresa Marconi was an extremely knowledgeable and fun waitress, explaining the specials and menu in a straight forward, informative, and engaging way that added greatly to the ambience and our overall experience. Our only slight complaint is that the chairs are not that comfortable. This was a definite top notch food experience!

What a wonderful experience. This place was recommended to me on my flight into BWI. I checked into the hotel and grabbed an Uber over on a Tuesday night. It’s small and was full but they said I could put my name in at the bar. In less than 10min I was seated. Each oyster/clam was clean, fresh and delicious. The meals ordered around me all looked incredible but the crab cake looked amazing. At first glance I thought it was baked potato based on the size. Staff was all fantastic. I couldn’t recommend this more.

Saturday Brunch here with my wife and our son and daughter in law. The food was high quality and wonderfully flavored. I had the Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes with A Scrambled Eggs w/ Cheese and the Cranberry Maple Turkey Sausage. The family had various omelets and everything was delicious. Truly a wonderful dining experience.

9/12/2025 at 11:00am Everything was perfect, from the start we had a friendly welcome, the host was amazing and very knowledgeable. Our server was very friendly and patient with our 3 kids. All the food we ordered felt fresh and homemade, it was delicious. Personally today I had one of the best breakfast I've had in 34 countries and 26 states from this beautiful country I have visited and of course I have many great experiences, so I add today dish to 1 of the 10 best breakfasts due to the unique and diverse flavor of this dish (Fried chicken biscuit & and gravy omelet ) the name don't mention all the other ingredients, I recommend this dish 100%

Come here as we were in Baltimore early and it was open for breakfast. Great it had a separate vegan menu and kids menu. Friendly and helpful service. Kids portion is very generous! The Vegan pancakes where a little dry but alright. No restaurant toilet. Prices are quite high.

Unique breakfast joint within walking distance when in the inner harbor. Has great menu options that are hard to narrow down. The Cinnamon Danish pancakes were our favorite. Everyone left with their bellies full.

First time.. came from a tiktok recommendation! Food was decent, I wouldn't go back for 2nd. Nice outside view to sit and eat. Its more on the pricey side here! Server was good! My friend did not like the egg whites, it was corrected but still wasn't to her liking. The manager did come by a follow-up which was nice.

First time at Miss Shirley’s and it did not disappoint! Our server Ryan was attentive and so sweet. I ordered their Crab Hash and Fries Green Tomato Eggs Benedict and I will forever dream about how delicious it was. Was also ordered the Pimento Cheese Biscuits which were heavenly with the strawberry jam. Would recommend this place to anyone traveling from out of town who really wants a good breakfast!

I haven’t been to Miss Shirley’s in a few years and the food is still good. The shrimp and grits are a must have along with the new fruit drinks they now offer. One slight inconvenience is having to leave the restaurant and go to a different floor in the building to use the restroom. That just a minor set back for a nice brunch spot near the harbor.

My family stopped in for a late lunch after seeing the National Aquarium. The server was really friendly. We were sat at a table with only 3 chairs for 4 people but they brought over another chair for me. Service started a little slow but we were able to order everything we wanted including milk shakes and Newcastle Beer. The nachos were fantastic. I added steak which is not a cheap option but it was a great addition. My meal was the salmon which was overcooked for my tastes but most places overcook fish especially if it waits under a heat lamp. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we appreciated the friendly service. It definitely was a little noisy in the restaurant but it was busy and bustling with a family crowd enjoying their meals.

I have been to Hard Rock 3 times and this was the most comfortable and most memorable experience. Rich was an amazing server and his charisma made you feel like you were personal friends! Thank you for making our trip wveb more special! PS: With the exception of the doors, this is a wheelchair friendly establishment!

The food was pretty good however the he atmosphere is so good. As soon as I walked in I was in awe. Thank you to my waiter Kyle for being a cool nonchalant Keanu Reeves impersonator(not actually.) Super cool and they have a gift shop.

Such a beautiful place and atmosphere. Great service by Laquan and all other staff who interacted with us. We had appetizers and drinks — the buffalo wings were the best.

We are in town for our anniversary and decided to stop in and I am glad we did!! Nolan was the best bartender, he was on point on everything! Thank you so much for being nice to the Pittsburgh couple celebrating their anniversary…

Well, we decided to Hard Rock. Big disappointment the kids menu. I wish I had taken a Pic but my twins were really hungry. The portion was a joke!!! I guess quality and quantity has gone "Rock" bottom. I have done Hard Rock Cafe in Europe, Asia, and Australia. I was disappointment in Baltimore, MD!!!!!

We come to dinner every year as a large group of always 10 or more and every year the server we get is AMAZING, absolutely amazing. No reservations, just straight party seating with no problems. This year we had Eric for our server and he was fantastic. He let us know very clearly what any specials were, his own recommendations and gave us options for substitutions. He made sure to check up on us in a timely manner and was always very pleasant when approaching the table. For a total star rating I rated 14/15, missing just one star out of the atmosphere category but even with an empty dining room it was very welcoming for us.

Service was incredible. The food was mostly great -- the crab pretzel was my favorite. The shrimp Mac and cheese and the crab grilled cheese were a little on the dry side, and I thought the cream of crab soup was a little bland, but everything else was delicious and we left stuffed and happy.

One of the best seafood restaurants on the water. When you visit you will receive great food and customer service. They have a bonus which I love and that is sitting on the pier. My last visit some patrons pulled up on jet skis for lunch. I love to see people making the best of life and these gentlemen did it well. If you never tried a crab pretzel, I would recommend that you try it (preferably 2 or more people). It is huge and a Baltimore thing.

Great place to go with a few people. We (4) sat at high bar table which is first available no wait. Live music! The large crabs were meaty enough. Plenty of old bay on the crabs and salty. Loved the steamed shrimp, deviled eggs and chopped salad. I would definitely go back. Be warned parking is limited directly at the place; we did valet! There are a variety seating options but once full the wait can be long.

I’ve been here twice before going to a concert at CFG arena. Amazing food and excellent service. Live music both times I’ve gone and it creates a nice experience. Also there is a second parking lot and a shuttle bus that takes you to the restaurant! 10/10 will return again!

My wife and I had lunch at Nick’s Fish House on the Bay. Loved the atmosphere — right on the water with a relaxed, casual vibe that makes you feel like you’re on vacation, even if you’re just out for lunch or dinner. Everything came out hot and fresh, the staff could have been a little more attentive we waited on condiments like ketchup pepper extra plates and cocktail sauce I ordered the fried oysters, and they were very good, breaded and fried to a golden crisp on the outside. My wife had the crab cakes, they were loaded with lump crab meat, very lightly seasoned. We also enjoyed a couple of drinks by the water and enjoyed the view. If you love authentic seafood, this place is absolutely worth the visit. We’ll definitely be back!

The waiter was great however they didn't bring old bay seasoning after asking. The crab pretzel as an appetizer was great. The fresh catch fish (Salmon) was incredibly buttery and not that great. The original crab cake was good/okay but the combination tastes like a filet-o-fish and the fried oysters were the expected fries oysters. Overall not a bad place but not as good as expected. It is also a very expensive place.

This place is a Gem. I have always gone to B-more from crabs for more than 20 years from philly. I wish I discovered this place a long time ago. The atmosphere is awesome... The staff is great and attentive. Serving some of the best crabs and seafood. Definitely a must try.

This place with a lot of fun. The food was delicious and all the people were nice. Parking was easy and the food came out quick enough. The only problem we had was we asked for an appetizer two times and it was forgotten both times, they were busy though so it's not a big deal but something to note.

Mama's on the Half Shell is a cozy seafood restaurant. It is really nice to visit this restaurant in the fall and winter because of their fireplace. They also have great daily deals and seasonal drinks. We ordered salad, calamari, seafood and crab soup. The staff was very attentive until it got crowded. The prices were a little high for sandwiches but sufficient for entrees. Overall, I would go back to check out the deals and order another salad. I would recommend anyone that is looking for cozy spot with nice tunes to go here.

The food was amazing especially the Rockefeller oysters! I had one order and couldn’t resist so ordered another. The crab cakes were impeccable too! Every bite tasted so fresh! The Mac n cheese pairing was perfect! Of course the raw oysters were great!

Our final night in Baltimore was one we’ll never forget, thanks to the unforgettable experience we had at Mama’s on the Half Shell. This wasn’t just a meal—it was a celebration of flavor, warmth, and world-class hospitality. Let’s start with the food, because wow. Every single dish that came from that kitchen was divine. The crab egg rolls are an absolute must—crispy, generous, and bursting with Maryland’s best. The half-pound steamed shrimp? Perfectly seasoned and plump. The Brussels sprouts were charred and caramelized to perfection. Our crab-topped salad was fresh and flavorful, and the lamb chops—oh, the lamb chops—were infused with rosemary so deeply, it was as if they had been marinated for hours in a garden of flavor. And then came the Maryland rockfish, flaky and bold, honoring the region’s seafood legacy. Order any of the soups!!! The cocktails were on point. The Manhattan was rich, balanced, and expertly crafted—no shortcuts here. And just when we thought we couldn’t eat another bite, we made room for dessert—because at Mama’s, you make room. The bread pudding was soul-soothing, and the cheesecake was luscious and light, the perfect ending to a spectacular meal. Now for the service, which truly made the evening shine. Brian and Michael were nothing short of phenomenal. Their energy, recommendations, timing, and genuine care for our table struck the perfect balance—never intrusive, always attentive. And then there was Mauricio, the manager (we hope we’ve got his name right!), who quietly brought dishes to our table with such warmth and grace that we didn’t even realize at first he was part of leadership. When we began chatting—as we tend to do—he humbly shared that he was indeed the manager, and later returned to check in on us before leaving. He even sent over dessert to close out our evening. It was that kind of night—every detail handled with care and love. This was hands down the best meal we had in Baltimore and we had a lot of meals - and one of the best meals we’ve ever had, period. Every dollar we spent felt more than worth it. If you’re visiting Baltimore and want to experience something special, Mama’s on the Half Shell is it. No question.

Mamas on the Half Shell absolutely delivered! The Oyster Rockefeller and Maryland Crab Soup were outstanding, packed with flavor and freshness. The Fish & Chips were perfectly crispy, the Sriracha Brussels sprouts had just the right kick, and the Rockfish topped with Crab Imperial was simply amazing. On top of the great food, our server John was phenomenal! Hands down the best server I’ve had in ages. Friendly, attentive, and on point with everything. He made the whole experience even better. Can’t wait to come back!

Food was absolutely AMAZING!! The restaurant was so nice looking and our server was so attentive and great to talk too. Definitely will make a trip back up here just for this place

I enjoyed EVERYTHING!!! I had oysters for the first time not because of opportunity but didn't like it. I must say I LOVED the Rockefeller Oysters. Absolutely delicious. Everything was amazing. I will definitely return to experience dinner. They have a wood burning fireplace upstairs. Thank you Joy for great service.

overall it was a good place to go for dinner. there were two conferences in town so it was very busy-packed! Wait time was an hour but we sat at the bar. They have a late night happy hour that worked perfect! We tried the margarita flight and the sake flight. Both were pretty good. Our server was wonderful. Other staff was polite.

Currently here, and unfortunately, the service has been absolutely terrible. We ordered from the 45-minute menu , the potstickers were unpleasant and the spicy tuna roll was just okay. My friend got the Kona Calamari and sushi salmon: the calamari was overcooked and extremely salty (definitely needed a lemon to cut through it), and the salmon didn’t look fresh,it actually looked a bit old. Our waitress, bless her heart, clearly needs retraining. Service was painfully slow, and she brought out one entree dish before the appetizers. I had to watch my friend finish her entire meal before I even received mine or our starters. She also forgot a drink we ordered, and by that point, we were just ready to leave.Overall, this was a disappointing experience. Management should have stepped in well before it got to this point. We’re now looking for another place to eat because this meal left us completely unsatisfied. Would not recommend at all

The food was great. The service was less than great. It was not the Waiters fault. They only had two waiters working the entire dining floor. There was a total of 4 people at my table including me. We wanted to have a few drinks before going to a show at the CFG Arena. We only had two Old Fashioned drinks because the service was so slowwwww we had to cancel our other drinks. We arrived 4:40p and it’s now 6:27. Nearly two hours to get the check. If the staff is reading this. It’s Saturday night and an event is in the area. Later, they ran out of silverware during deserts but did offer plastic utensils. I had the shrimp tacos and the brownie cake. Might not return unless I see better reviews in the future. I do not recommend this to friends and family.

came during happy hour after 9pm. We sat at the bar with the bartender, Roni, and she was lovely! Very pleasant service and atmosphere. She checked on us and engaged various times throughout the night. The crab crunch roll was delicious. Overall it was a great experience! Thank you. Did not get a photo of my sushi but did include a few of my drinks from the lovely bartender 🥰

I came here with 3 friends after the Baltimore aquarium and we had a terrible experience. The first thing we noticed when we entered were 2 large fish tanks by the entrance that looked absolutely HORRIBLE. One was empty, with cloudy nasty water. The other had white rings around the top, indicating that the water had not been topped up or changed in a very long time. Inside the tank all the walls were covered in algae, and there was no movement in the water (meaning no filter). This wasn't the only thing off about the entrance though. There was no host stand, just a table with a "take-out pickup here" sign and a security guard, leading us to believe we had walked into the wrong door at first. Once we were seated (the table and seats were dirty by the way), my friend and I went to use the restrooms. We were appalled by the state of both the women's and men's restrooms, which were on par with a gas station bathroom in cleanliness- unacceptable for a restaurant. The locks on the stall doors were broken, and it clearly had not been cleaned in a while. After these red flags the group decided we would get only appetizers and find another place to eat dinner. Our waitress was the only good thing about the experience, she was very kind and we did leave her a tip. However, the appetizers we ordered were abysmal. We got the calamari and the avocado spring rolls for our vegan friend. The calamari was fine, but the sauce cup had a layer of water sitting on top of the sauce, probably from not being fully dried after the dishwasher. The avocado spring rolls were literally just mashed avocado, picture attached. This could have been our fault, but there also wasn't a description on the menu so we assumed it would be more similar to guacamole. The salad garnish was unbelievably dry as well. We paid $50 total for a handful of calamari and 2 small spring rolls filled with avocado. I don't think I need to explain why that isn't worth it. Overall we hated being in there and left as soon as possible, no wonder it was so empty. Hopefully those fish can be moved to a better tank soon.

My first time in Kona Grill and it will be my last. The food in Kona Grill was very unpleasant. I ordered chicken fried rice, it was very greasy and way too much pepper added. The cheeseburger was too dry and it needed more seasoning on it. The service was good but the food is below average and pricey. There are far better options in the area.

I enjoyed myself here. I had the macadamia nut chicken. It was very tasty. We shared the brownie tower which was also delicious. Definitely recommend this spot.

I can say so many things about this place. I’ve been here many times. My husband and I actually had our first date here and decided to have a private dinner party with our family to celebrate at this wonderful place. The service, food, drinks and atmosphere is everythinggg!! Compliments to the chef, Rayven, Vickey, JP, Michael, Ricky and Bonnie. They all made sure that we all were well taken care of. We appreciate you all and we will be back 💜

I wasn't even going to do this review. Three of us had dinner there on Father's Day. The place was clean and the people were nice. The food was good but the service was the worst that we have had in several years. Took over 30 minutes to receive our appetizers after placing the order. I got a side of hash browns to go with my entree, and they didn't arrive until after I was finished eating, and that was only after reminding the staff that I never received it. We asked for the manager and he took a long time to get to our table. The place wasn't that busy, so it was kind of surprising. He did make some adjustments to make up for the Terrible service. For some reason, unlike other restaurants in the area, they do not offer valet parking. Based on this experience, I definitely wouldn't go back. I was there a couple of years ago, and everything was good. Maybe this was just a bad night. I'm not sure. But with the lack of parking and the service we'll find somewhere else to go.

My experience was horrible!! The food was not all of that great, plus you get a small portion. The appetizers took so long as well as the food. Please be advised that you will be paying for water, in which wasn’t told to us before dining. The water totaled to over 75 dollars for 9 bottles, in which was about 1/3 of a cup each time. There were waiters pouring open bottles that they had served other tables that eventually we found out we were paying for. The one waitress that served us we only encountered at the beginning as well as towards the end when it was time to pay. She did come by and ask how was everything but didn’t stay to hear what we had to say. Then when approaching the manager to discuss the services, he automatically assumed we wasn’t able to afford it!!! Never again and I will not recommend this place to anyone. Over priced, little food, poor service, poor communication and definitely not fine dining, water taste as it was tapped! Also, it was very hot and dark so please be aware!

The restaurant itself is beautiful and perfect for a date. However, the food was just ok - my filet was cooked perfectly but lacked seasoning and the shrimp was salty. We've had much better crab cakes elsewhere for less $. The libations were good even if a bit pricy. I expected more all around. The service was top notch. We had a nice dinner overall.

Beautiful, upscale and delicious seafood restaurant in the Inner Harbor, but pricey. The service was excellent, our server knew the menu extremely well and helped one of our party who has shellfish allergies to pick a good entree. The food was excellent, and they even were willing to make mocktails. It was rather pricey, however, as few if any entrees were under $30. Will definitely be back the next time I’m in town!

I loved the food so much the place looks new and so clean and the service are perfect and the working staff will take care of you with a big smile

Good wine, appetizers, salads, entrees - all delicious! Service is quite good. Seafood, steaks, sides, desserts - so many options so there's something for everyone. Most things can be customized. Menu changes periodically based on some seasonal availability. Although reservations probably aren't necessary, I recommend them just in case there are larger parties or they're busy that evening.

A big group of us came in for dinner on a weeknight... We sat outside, along the water and had decent service. The views and temps were great out there, but the lantern flies are ridiculous and all over. Their menu is very nice and it was hard to decide what to get, but everything we all chose were things we ended up really enjoying. For me, I absolutely loved the ceviche! Probably in my top 5 ever! Their mac & cheese side is also incredible! I tried their grilled shrimp banh mi and it was interesting - nice flavors, fresh, and tasty. Lots of drinks on tap and on their cocktail menu as well. Definitely worth stopping in!

My lady friends took me to dinner for my birthday! We sat outside on a beautiful September evening! Fabulous views of the harbor and Baltimore at night! The food was fantastic and server, Angelo, was awesome! Lobster tails, crab cake sandwich and Chilean sea bass were all delicious - A completely wonderful experience! Would highly recommend!!!❤️❤️

Overall I give this a 3.5* review but Google doesn't allow half stars so rounding up. Nice setting on the harbor, had live music on a Friday night. Inside was a bit loud and I don't think I saw the hostesses smile once. They have an outdoor bar and seating options as well as indoor bar and dining area. I really wanted to like this place but left just feeling meh. Staff was ok, waiter was friendly and helpful. Also, was honest and warned us the crab cream soup was a bit salty, (it was). More on service later. Food was pretty good, but not worth the prices in my opinion. Caesar salad for $18, good size but bland flavor except for the salty parmesan crisps. $66 crab cakes were tasty but not sure that they warrant that price for 2 crab cakes and fries. Moules Frites were good and I'd order that again for $25. However the staff (not our waiter) brought our mains out before we had finished our starters, she just stood there for a second, and then just crammed everything onto our small table. They also wanted to clear our plates while we were actively eating. I think they refilled our water once over the course of our meal? So definitely could do better on the service side.

Bar: There are two moderate televisions at the 18-seat bar if you’re looking for a spot to leisurely watch sports in a mellow afternoon environment. Brunch review: Live music from local favorites Enslow playing an acoustic set and a brunch menu with variety made this a pleasant first experience at Loch Bar. Chance the bartender is incredibly friendly and attentive. Noon: As the sole patron at the bar and only three seated tables, the restaurant is perfectly quiet except for the talented performers. 1:30pm: The bar is filling out and the tables are mostly full so the atmosphere has evolved as the din increased. The cream of crab soup had a satisfying spice to it that warms you up on a rainy winter’s day. The lobster roll, served on a toasted bun, pairs well with the crab soup. Dinner menu review: Go full Baltimore with Cream of Crab soup, an Orange Crush, and crab cakes. Stephen is great behind the bar and will make your visit great.

I came here for my Birthday last year and i loved it. Beautiful Astmophere, my server was very nice i had first ordered the Salmon wrap and it was okay and i say that because it was a little too spicy for my liking wit the peppers and i'm not big on spicy foods so that's the only reason why i said it was okay and because i didn't like it they let me choose another dish so i was happy about that and it was delicious. They had someone that was playing the guitar and singing and they gave me a birthday shout out as well as a happy birthday song and that was cool i loved it, and since it was my Birthday they gave me a dessert(Cheesecake) which was delicious and sung Happy Birthday to me. It was really awesome there. I would definitely go back again which i am for my birthday again this year so i highly recommend this restaurant.

While visiting from Upstate NY, my uncle suggested we have lunch here. It did not disappoint! Beautiful restaurant, food was very delicious and well seasoned. Most importantly the service was spectacular. I’m mad I forgot our server’s name because he was definitely one of the best we’ve encountered. Will for sure return again.

4 Seasons Hotel had some really good food for the 4th of July. Crab cakes were awesome and entertainment was top notch.

We had our micro wedding with 21 attendees at Woodberry Kitchen in March 2025. We got married on the patio and had our reception inside. We could not have picked a better venue for our wedding - it was the perfect size, price, etc. Woodberry Kitchen is the whole package for weddings and events. Everyone who came to our wedding talked about how wonderful the wedding and venue was - aesthetically pleasing and intimate with amazing food. Jolanta was great to work with throughout the planning process and listened to all of our requests and concerns, and Amanda was fantastic the day of the event, making sure everything went smoothly. If you're getting married or hosting an event in Baltimore, Woodberry Kitchen is a no-brainer for your dream venue!

First, I would say it started off great. I couldn't find the restaurant because I didn't see the name of the building, but the waitress was friendly enough to meet us outside. The restaurant has a rustic feel to it. It's not fancy on the inside, but it has brick walls, hence an old mill. The menu is limited, but I did order a drink. I had the deviled eggs, which is only one egg cut in half. I had the salad, and steak. Honestly, it wasn't my preferred cut, so I only had one piece of the steak. The taste of the food was somewhat bland.For some reason, once the food order was placed, I saw the waitress, but I had to get another waiter to help with some other things, including my dessert. My dessert was the best part of the meal, and please note that an automatic 20% gratuity was added regardless of the party size. I would recommend this location for venue only. The wedding party seems to be the only thing that was a success.

We had an amazing dinner at The Tavern at Woodberry Kitchen. Our reservation was for two at 8:30 PM, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. We started with the short rib empanadas, which were rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The young lettuce salad was light and fresh, and the Everything Spring Salad, while more of a side dish than a traditional salad, was still delicious. The grilled zucchini in it really stood out. For mains, we had the fish and chips, with catfish as the fish of choice. It was delicate, perfectly cooked, and paired with crispy, well-seasoned fries. We also had the tavern steak frites cooked to your choice of doneness, and it was tender, flavorful, and satisfying. The blackberry mojitos were refreshing and perfectly balanced. It's definitely a cocktail we’d order again. Dessert was the chocolate cake, rich and indulgent, and a perfect way to end the night. Our server was friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable, not just about the menu but also about the restaurant’s history and the neighborhood. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxed evening with great food, drinks, and thoughtful service.

As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the opportunity to work at quite a few venues, but few stand out as clearly and memorably as Woodberry Kitchen. From the moment you walk in, the space feels warm, textured, and effortlessly elegant. The rich character of the brick walls and bistro lights paired with natural light streaming through large windows, creates the perfect canvas for timeless, romantic images. Every corner of the venue offers something visually compelling. What truly elevates this venue beyond its aesthetic is the team behind it. The venue coordinators are not only organized and attentive to the couple’s needs, but they also go out of their way to support the vendors. As a photographer, it makes a huge difference when the staff is communicative, flexible with timelines, and genuinely kind. Their collaborative attitude ensures that the day flows smoothly, allowing everyone to do their best work while keeping the focus on the couple’s experience. And let’s not forget the food—absolutely outstanding. I can't wait to bring my husband here for dinner. Often, vendor meals are an afterthought, but here, the team makes sure that we are fed and if it doesn't work in our timeline, they pack it up in to-go boxes for us. The food is always a highlight in its own right. This venue is a dream for photographers and a treasure for couples. I can’t recommend it highly enough—for its beauty, for its team, and for the exceptional experience it creates for everyone involved. Can't wait to be back!

The atmosphere at Tavern at Woodberry is so relaxing — you instantly feel at home. The building itself is gorgeous and gives off such a warm, cozy vibe. Their wine list and beer selection are thoughtfully curated, focusing on local and sustainable options, which I really appreciate. We started with the board — a perfect sampler — and the greens were fresh and crisp. The burger was top-notch: full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and paired with fries that were cut and seasoned just right. Dessert definitely had that “wow” presentation, though it wasn’t our favorite flavor-wise. Grateful for the warm, friendly service and such a tasty highlight to the weekend. 🍷🍔✨

Visited here for a rheumatology conference. So we had the back room in the back patio available to us. Beautiful location with ample space however, the table seating was a little bit tight. The service staff was incredibly friendly and was always refilling drinks and bringing around more option for food.For dinner, we had the chicken and the rockfish. Both were cooked perfectly, but the portions were rather small, so could have used a little bit more to eat. The flourless chocolate cake was good, but I’ve definitely had a more decadent flourless chocolate cake elsewhere.

It was our first dining experience here, and it lived up to the online reviews. Service was fast and attentive......thanks Char! Tried several seasonal cocktails, and they all were enjoyable. The food was flavorful. The stuffed eggplant stood out by itself. The coppa steak could have been plated with a starch and the savory crab pie with some greens. The choices for table sides were limited. Definitely will be back!

My mom and I loved eating here. We came to Baltimore to see a concert, and it was close to our hotel. The location was nice, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We ate there two days in a row. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. They have plenty of options and as someone with a bunch of food allergies, it was nice to see. Our server Jazz was friendly, and she made the whole dining experience more comfortable. I'll definitely eat here, next time I'm in Baltimore.

I stopped by Pratt Street Alehouse and tried their Baked Soft Pretzels, which come with a side of beer cheese and the house mustard. The pretzels themselves were soft, fluffy, and generously sized—perfect for those who love a more doughy texture. If you’re someone who prefers a crisp or crunchy exterior, these might not hit the mark, but for me, they were a win. The house mustard was a standout—bold, flavorful, and one of the better pub mustards I’ve had. The beer cheese, on the other hand, was a bit underwhelming. It had a runny consistency and lacked the richness you’d expect, making it feel like more of an afterthought than a highlight. The dish includes two pretzels for $16.99, which felt fair given their size and the downtown location. One important note: a 20% automatic tip is added to every bill regardless of party size or order total. While that might catch some off guard, the service was friendly and efficient, and the space was clean and well-maintained. The atmosphere was lively. There are plenty of TVs and a lively crowd that are invested in the live sports events, which gives you the feeling of experiencing something together. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just along for the ride, the energy is contagious.

The wings and fries were hot and delicious, we got the mild wings but they had a pretty good heat to them. They had a large selection of beers and mixed drinks to choose from. The bartender was great, with great insight on the area, quick to refill your drink, offered great options for different drinks and just enjoyable to talk with. I highly recommend the Oliver brewing beers.

I am in town for a conference with some colleagues and we stopped here after registering. It was surprisingly decent. I had the Chesapeake Chicken, my colleagues had the salmon salad, the salmon dinner, and the chicken pasta - no complaints. We also had the crab dip which was also pretty good. For a quick bite to satisfy after a day of traveling, this did the trick. Waitress was great!

I went there after the ‘Ironman’ bobblehead game, with my friend. The food was 🧑‍🍳😘spectacular… Caesar salad was a Caesar salad. The Brussels sprouts were divine…. But that crab dip. Oh. My. Gawd!! <droooooool> worth every calorie!! BUT…our waiter, Cam, was the best freaking part of it all. We sat there as it started raining (lightly, but definitely got stronger) and he was willing to play along with our crazy. 10/10, no notes, stellar guy! I live in another time zone, but I have enjoyed evenings here before, and will most definitely do so again.

Our group showed up with 36 people towards the end of the night. Theo was our server and he was FANTASTIC. He kept us laughing the entire time. BY FAR the best experience I ever had at a restaurant. I recommend both the food and his service to anyone in the area! Whatever his salary is, it needs to be doubled immediately. Eddie with the Simulation Football League. Tell Theo we all said hello!

We pass this place all the time going to Pickles and that whole scene before Orioles game. We finally decided to give it a shot, and im glad we did. Crab cake dinner was delicious, burger was cooked perfectly and tasted great, great price on local beers, blocks from Orioles Park at Camden Yards. This is now our go-to before O's games.

It really bums me out to write this review, but I hope it can be helpful from a management perspective! I tried this spot because I was in town on business, staying nearby, and in the mood for fresh seafood. As a party of one person, I was hoping to be in and out within an hour or so to get to bed at a good time for my early morning flight. However, I was there for over two hours waiting for half a dozen oysters and crab cakes when the restaurant was only about half full. I want to emphasize that the wait staff was SO kind and friendly, and I truly believe they were all doing their best. Unfortunately, the service fell short. It seemed like there was no system for who was assigned to which table, who was responsible for running food/drinks, etc., as I had three different people waiting on me while I was dining. It seemed like a management issue more than a staffing issue, as the number of waiters should have been able to handle a half full restaurant with relative ease. As for the food, I highly recommend the oysters! They were very fresh and exactly what I was hoping for. Each one had a unique flavor I enjoyed. The crab cakes were just okay and were too salty for my liking. They felt almost lightly fried in a way that made them dense, which I wasn’t a huge fan of. I didn’t get around to trying a dessert because I didn’t have time to wait any longer, but I would have considered the butter cake. I would consider coming back in the future and trying a different entrée if the service system is improved.

It's been a while since I've visited McCormick & Schmick's. I thoroughly enjoyed each aspect of the experience from start to finish. Each staff member was welcoming, professional, and personable. The service was great. Our service was funny and proficient. The food tasted good. I enjoyed the calamari and Fish & chips.

As far as chain seafood restaurants go, McCormick and Schmick's is as good as they come. We had a wonderful experience at this location after visiting the National Aquarium. The food was all delicious, the drink specials were great, and the service was terrific. I would definitely recommend this location.

our server Jeremy was excellent. my mashed potatoes were a bit dry but everything else was very delicious. definitely recommend the crab & shrimp stuffed salmon. the basque cheesecake was incredibleee

Lee, the hostess, is amazing!! She recommended places to check out, shared laughs, and chatted about meeting cool people in the industry. We were also wonderfully surprised by the super cute birthday dessert!!! Thank you so much for creating Adam Sandler and birthday memories!

First time visit for a birthday dinner. Our server, Brittany, was excellent. We tried the calamari, stuffed salmon and the fish & chips. The calamari was my favorite. The salmon was delicious, but at $30+ I expected more seafood stuffing. The fish and chips were delicious, but the batter on the fish tasted overly salty. Happy hour promos sounded interesting. May come back for their $2 fish taco Tuesdays during happy hour.

Had an excellent time at M&S this past weekend. Our server, Cody, was great! He had a few really difficult tables, but still went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. We sat outside and everything from the atmosphere, to the food, to the service, was amazing! Will definitely come back!

We had seen many great things about Jimmy's. It was enough to plan a trip around from NC. We ate here for dinner on 2 separate occasions trying their vast menu options out. The Crab Cakes are the best we've ever had! The crab cake egg rolls, Crab Mac and Cheese, and nachos were also very good. The freshness of the ingredients and skillfulness of the kitchen really shows when the food arrives at your table. We only had two small complaints, you can't get some of the smaller dishes served at lunch for dinner, such as burgers and sliders. The other complaint is we ordered desserts to go and it took a while to receive, and when we got back to our hotel, we noticed it had been sliced 1-2 days prior based on their sticker. The dessert wasn't worth the price we paid but the rest of our meal definitely was! The service was ok but not exceptional. The restaurant was very well kept clean and up to date. Overall it was a great experience and if we're ever back in the area, we will stop again.

First time here and we had heard good things. Jimmy’s definitely delivered! We sat in the bar area, but the whole place was modern with great seafood shack vibe. The staff was super friendly and the food was delicious. The crab cake was probably on of the best quality I’ve ever eaten and the crab wontons and crab California rolls were on point too. We were actually driving through this time, but I’d go out of my way to get back to Baltimore to visit Jimmy’s again!

We drove all the way from Chicago. Illinois, for this restaurant, it was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was awesome! We ordered so much from the menu and tried so many new things. And it all was so amazing. And good. Our waitress Mia did everything she could to make us feel at home. She was 1 in a million, also all other waitresses and servers constantly checked on us too. Would highly recommend this place!!!!!❤️

I stopped in on a Monday and saw on the menu there was happy hour all day. (Our host didn’t tell us about happy hour but told several other tables around us which was weird). However, I ordered the Rockefeller oysters which were 10/10. The shrimp skillet with garlic bread was different but pretty good. Mini lobster tails were so tender and perfect. Ordered a Moscow mule which was pretty basic, then a fall cinnamon cocktail that was different but tasty. Crab cakes and broccolini were also 10/10, broccolini was seasoned and spicy which I loved, everything was super fresh and hot off the press! When I return definitely going back to this place, huge menu with plenty options.

Don’t eat the bread! Seriously… You do not want to fill up on the bread in this place. The food portions are huge and delicious. I had the twin crabcakes… Definitely should’ve just gone for one. But I happily over stuffed myself with 2. They are pretty big and one would’ve been enough. My lunch date had the crab mac & cheese, and pan seared scallops. The scallops were buttery, soft and cooked to perfection. Loads of crab on the mac & cheese and definitely worth the up charge. Our server was great. Very attentive and quick service. He even brought soda refills without our asking… Actually, we weren’t even finished with the first round and he already had the second round ready to go. Can’t wait until our next visit to Maryland because we are definitely eating here again!

Drove all the way from Chicago to eat here and it lived up to the hype! Beyond impressed with the service, atmosphere and food! Mia was our server and she went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and well taken care of. She was so friendly and even put her own personal touch on our dining experience to put it over the top by getting us each a gift from the manager for coming so far to eat here. The live music was superb and really added to the ambiance. I can’t recommend this place enough! Come eat here at all costs, it’s worth it!

Was apprehensive since this place is SO infamous and I wasn’t sure the place would live up to the hype. I have to say, I was impressed! The inside is much nicer than it looks from the outside. Very bright and spacious. We tried the crab dip (sorry - we destroyed it pretty quick so no photo) which came with a thick garlic toast. Yummm. My husband had the chicken Chesapeake with green beans. He was very happy. Said it was great portion and delicious. He also took down two of their Cinder & Smoke old fashioneds. I wasn’t hungry enough for a full dinner so got a cup of Maryland crab soup, a raw bar sampler (a deal at $15!!) and some calamari (which was more then expected). Everything was delicious!! Can’t wait to go back.

Had a great meal here! Friendly staff, quick service, and great food. Came for the crabs and they didn’t disappoint. Also ordered Old Bay fries and hush puppies, they were amazing! The fries themselves were solid, then with the old bay and dip they came with… we LOVED them. The hush puppies were great with their dip too. Menu said honey butter, it reminded me of Texas Roadhouse cinnamon butter that comes with their rolls

The quality of the crabs were awesome. I personally don't like the seasoning (I prefer garlic oil base), but, still it tasted sooo good. Will return for the next visit. There was a wait, for about 40 minutes, but it was worth it. We had some other appetizers and side dishes, but I guess just have the dozen of crabs. That's my suggestion.

Had a fantastic late Mother's Day celebration with my children who all live in Maryland. I live right outside of Philadelphia. We enjoyed the delicious hush puppies (suggested by the fun bartender across the street at Iron Works/Harry's Bar, had a delightful martini while waiting for our table!) We had the three kinds of crab soup, Old Bay fries and two dozen jumbo crabs, steaming hot! They were perfect!! Service was excellent. I got to take home the five leftover crabs and enjoyed them immensely, the following day! This is our third time eating here, and will definitely be back!!

This place has been on our list for a while, since it was recommended and has great reviews. Came for lunch around 12:30pm on a Monday. There was no wait but the place was busy. We had calamari, hush puppies, fries, and Boat Load of food. These are my favorites so I was hoping they did it justice. LP Steamers did not disappoint. Everything was so delicious! We’ll be adding this place into our rotation this summer for sure! 🦀 😋

Best seafood in Baltimore Great safe area. Great people that work there and food is absolutely incredible. No hard booze just beer and wine but great selections

The space is nice, but the service needs serious improvement. We waited 30–40 minutes for our food with very little attention from staff. They clearly need to hire more people and improve attentiveness. The long wait really took away from the experience.

My husband and I had lunch here for the first time today. We ordered a dozen of the “jumbo” crabs as they were out of the largest size they had. The “jumbo” is the second largest size they offered. Crabs were big with plenty of meat and were perfectly seasoned! They were hot and fresh and we were both impressed! Also ordered the old bay fries which came with a yummy ranch sauce as well as pickle chips. Will definitely be returning!

The ladies and I dined at the Capital Grille in Baltimore. We kissed Summer goodbye and welcomed Autumn with salivating steak, lamb, sides, and sweets. We had a red and white wine flight to complement our meal. Everything was simply delicious. Our server was attentive and accommodating. We sat outside and chatted away to the background noise of Baltimore City. The weather, the wine, the food, and the company made the evening. If you are into fine dining and do not mind giving up a few pennies for quality and style (if you’re into that), then this place is highly enjoyable. Definitely adding it to the rotation. Cheers! 🥂

The Capital Grille is one of my favorite restaurants to come to when I’m in the mood for good eats! Tonight was no different, I needed a solo unwind. I had an espresso martini with Tequila(great), started with a lobster and crab cake appetizer(packed with flavor & unfortunately a lobster shell 🥺) otherwise delicious, ended with a filet, lobster tail to accompany & lobster Mac & Cheese. My waitress was delightful…only disappointing aspect was the lack of concern and apology for the fair sized lobster shell that I could have choked on. I almost felt brushed off when I brought it to attention.

The service and atmosphere was a 5/5. However, the food didn’t quite live up to hype. For the prices, I expected more flavor. Lobster Mac and cheese was watery, not thick consistency. The spinach had no flavor whatsoever.

Capital Grill has been consistently good location to location over the last 20 years. I would give 4.5 stars for food and service and 5 for atmosphere. They have the best calamari dish with the accompanying peppers and onions. We started with that and the seafood tower. Everyone enjoyed their entrees. We ordered three bottles of wine from their extensive selection, that is also reasonably priced. They could have more of a selection on their dessert wines, but the ice wine we ordered was enjoyed by all. Always recommend Capital Grill as one of the handful of best steakhouse chains in the country.

Nice place, I had good food besides the calamari it was dry and just regular but the tuna was so delicious and their lobster Mac and cheese yum!! We went for Mother’s Day it was pretty busy, service was great, the servers are definitely more on the older side but that didn’t stop them from giving us a great service. We spent about 2 hours there me and my mom. They have very delicious crème brûlée:) It is pricey but definitely worth to try. You do have to find parking and pay for it tho, either valet for 14$ or 7$ public parking.

I celebrated my birthday on my very first visit to The Capital Grille. My waiter, Carlos, was exceptional! He was very attentive and his menu suggestions were perfect. I told him I loved blackberries and vodka and he had the bar make me a blackberry martini 😋 He even presented me with a pink rose after dessert. I could have stayed just to be taken care of by him. My wagyu burger was seasoned and cooked impeccably, every bite was so delicious. I can't wait to get back to try other menu items and enjoy this experience again and again.

Such a good evening all around. Out here in Northern Baltimore county, while we do have a lot of nice and delicious places to eat, sometimes the daughter who is turning 18 for her birthday she wants a special steakhouse dinner. And after much research, we all know how much money things are, we settle on Capital grille and it did not disappoint. I mentioned on the reservations that it was her birthday put that we didn't need all the singers lol. After being seated, she got I guess discreetly given card that had confetti come out of it and then after our meal she even got are you free dessert with two kinds of cheesecake! In between those two things everything was perfect. Mary Lou was our server and she was absolutely lovely and took care of us and didn't make us feel weird about how particular each of us are with our food preferences. From no onions to add cucumbers to extra plate cuz I'm going to pick it their food, to can we get that with extra sauce and then can we get extra dressing on the side can you swap out this for that... Mary lou, all the supporting staff and the manager and obviously the cooks and the chef and everyone else in the back of the house accommodated it without us noticing if it was annoying or not! Appreciate it so much and I have more than enough leftovers to feed myself in the middle of the night... You might have thought I was going to say everyone for lunch tomorrow but no it's just for me!

Faidley’s Seafood is a great place to visit if you love fresh seafood. It’s located inside the Lexington Market in Baltimore. You can buy fresh fish and crabs to take home, or choose from a few ready-to-eat dishes. There is also a small area where you can eat on the spot, which is nice if you want to enjoy your food right away. The crab cakes are especially popular and very tasty. It’s a casual and local spot, perfect for a quick seafood meal or to shop for fresh ingredients.

Best crab cake ever! We also had the clam strips and the coddie. Located in Lexington Market, Faidley’s is a destination worth the trip by itself and there are a lot of other interesting food options inside too. 💯awesome

I only tried the LUMP crab cake and it is full of crab meat! Delicious… but the green salad is weird and soggy… pickled beets are ok. The crab soup is also good!

Simply delicious crab cake, plus enormous!! So flaky and cooked up fresh. I got there just before they closed and generously let me place an order anyway. Standing at a shared counter height table was a great way to have a little company for my meal, too.

Only took pictures of the oysters because they were massive! (And delish!) The crab cakes, mac, greens, and shrimp salad were superb! (We got slaw and tater salad to go that we haven't tried yet, but look amazing!) Laurie and the rest of the staff were excellent employees, we will def be back!

I received 4 lovely crab cakes shipped to me as a gift. They came packaged very well, insulated and a large block of ice to keep it cold. It is insanely hot outside, but the crab cakes were ice cold! We pan seared them, finished in the oven. So, so good. Very high quality, large lumps of crab meat, seasoned well, and very little filler. The crab cakes individually were probably 6-7 ounces a piece, they were huge. I would absolutely recommend these to anyone. Very nice gift and great quality!!!

Incredible, nostalgic, great staff! The food was fresh and cooked perfect! Yummy! This is a must visit while traveling to Baltimore.

Located downtown , Luna Del sea is a nice option for having a drink 🍷 or ordering food. The king crab is tasty. Of course the price of the dish depends on the markets, but you can find it in reasonable cost. Service is also good.

If you want some good food and drinks, this is absolutely the place to visit in Baltimore. It’s very close to the football and baseball stadiums. You will absolutely enjoy this place. Price is a reasonable. The staff is helpful. This is the second time we have been to the Baltimore area, And we went there both times. The first time we stumbled across it this last time on the way to Pennsylvania, we made a detour to go and eat there.

Staff were all super friendly and outgoing! Very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food was phenomenal! HIGHLY recommend the Cajun Shrimp & Grits appetizer. We had the broiled seafood trio & the fried combo and Oreo cheesecake for dessert. Everything was wonderfully prepared and beautifully presented. If you haven’t been here, it’s definitely worth going!

I had a great time at Luna Del Sea. The jumbo lump crab cocktail was extremely delicious. The broiled seafood trio was very good. Our waitress Kayla was phenomenal!! She was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back again :)

I just started working in baltimore and its always important to find a place to adequately decompress after work. This is it. The food is delicious and presented so well. The atmosphere on a Friday evening during the start of a Katy Perry concert was perfect. Located right by the light rail it's perfect for commuters. I had a good serving of crab cake and shrimp with scallops in a delectable sauce.

Delicious food, attentive and friendly staff, Parking located behind the restaurant with a decent rate. 10/10 highly recommend

This is the first time a restaurant added 20% tips to my bill before I checked out. In addition to that, they wanted me to add tips when I signed the bill after they have added 20% tips. The grilled chicken brisket is good. The lemonade is too sweet though, don’t recommend that. However, they gave minimum rice and I had to order a $6 side rice. Because of the tips and side rice, I had to pay $51 for items with the original price of $35. I would not go to that restaurant again. —Reply to the restaurant’s response: As I said, this is the first time a restaurant added 20% tips to my bill before I checked out, and you even want me to add more tips when I signed my bill. If you want to reward your employees, you should raise their stipend. Customers have the right to decide whether they will give tips and how much tips they want to add.

Nice place with decent service. Obviously a bit loud, but not awful - especially for a bar in Fells Point. Friendly service, just a little slow, but a lot of Baltimore charm. Pictured is the crabcake sandwich. A bit too wet for my liking, but it was fresh and the sweet potato fries were good as well. If there were more seats outside, we would've sat outside - very nice views of Harbor East and the Sagamore.

I ended up coming here for brunch after some of the more popular places had a 25+ min wait. The positives were the wait staff were absolutely amazing. They were so considerate of my dog and made sure to give him lots of love. We got the crab dip, pulled pork waffle and tuna wrap. The crab dip was actually great, and might have been one of the best ones we’ve had during our trip. The pulled pork waffle was a little sweet.

We really enjoyed this place. We had the burger and double crab cake. Both were fantastic. Service was good. Truffle fries were great. I would definitely recommend this place.

Excellent savory gumbo with crab, sausage, beans, and a bite to it! Added a large Chesapeake Cobb salad with Old Bay Ranch and a beer. Great service and fun ambience as they get ready for Halloween.

Delicious! Stopped here unexpectedly and was pleasantly surprised. Crab soup was meh but highly recommend the steak, freights, crabcake, and truffle fries. Those were all 10/10. Ambience sitting outside was lovely and our server matched the vibe with her friendliness.

If you have to choose a spot in Fell's point, this us it. Servers were friendly, smash burgers was great and atmosphere was fun with solid music selection and a breeze coming off the harbor. Would definitely return if back in the area.

Delicious! We stopped here unexpectedly (the restaurant we were headed too could not rally to open on time) and we were quite happy. The gumbo was fabulous. The only problem was that it was so good that I could not keep my spouse away from it. My wife loved her salad and the Creole Omelet (brunch time) was great. The weather was nice so sitting outside was a bonus and our server was on top of everything. Our former favorite place down the street lost out!

The restaurant has a bit of a dated feel and could benefit from some updates, but overall, we had a solid dining experience. I ordered the dry-aged ribeye, which I’d rate an 8/10—flavorful and well-prepared. The sides and dessert were both enjoyable as well. While nothing stood out as truly exceptional, the food was consistently very good. Our server was friendly, hardworking, and generally attentive throughout the meal. All in all, our group had a positive experience and left satisfied.

I was eating alone and late, arrived about 8:30. Got a nice seat in the bar area. Service was quick and the food was amazing. I had lobster bisque, bacon wrapped scallops, the 12 oz filet and a loaded baked potato. They brought the lobster part of the bisque in a bowl, and then poured the liquid part over it. The steak was cooked a perfect medium and very tender.

Food is consistently unparalleled! Dining room is Beautifully appointed. Only comment - we anticipated a sommelier, and there isn't one. Our waiter did recommend a wonderful bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon.

It’s a great place for fancy dining. The servers were great and the cocktails were good. The food was good depending on what was gotten. And desert is superb. Unfortunately, you do have to pay $17 for valet parking.

Thursday evening in Baltimore, looking for a great meal. My husband is from here, and he couldn't decide between steak or crab... voila! Morton's filet Oscar with asparagus and bernaise. Our server reccommended a deep, bold red called "Primal Cut," and my husband loved it. I had a lovely wedge salad and a loaded baked potato. We finished our meal with the GIANT slice of carrot cake. Our meal was fantastic and Malcom was an incredible server. I would reccomend dining here if you are in the mood for fine dining in a very casual yet fancy geeling atmosphere.

It was a great evening at Morton steakhouse. Their power hour menu is very cool and their filet trio is a must try. Best bang for your buck with great ambience and service.

I have been to some of the finest steakhouses in the nation, and Morton’s Baltimore is the worst steakhouse I have ever been to, and it's not close. The steaks were way too thin for a top-notch steakhouse, maybe 1/2 inch at best. The Oscar sauce I ordered was WHITE. Neither the the asparagus nor the crabmeat were mixed with the Oscar sauce prior to service, so the crabmeat was cold. They also used the entire asparagus stalk, but Oscar sauce is supposed to be made with asparagus tips only. Cheap. Also, Béarnaise sauce (the foundation of Oscar) is always yellow-orange because of the butter and egg yolks. I don’t know how it could be white, unless it is a mix, which I highly doubt. Finally, on the menu there was a listing for “lobster Oscar”. Unusual, but they had lobster pieces instead of lump crab meat. My friend requested that, and our server said “they don’t make that”. “But it’s on the menu”. “I’ll check” When his steak came out with the “lobster Oscar”, the lobster was cooked beyond belief. So tough it was inedible. The positives were both the server and the manager were experience and professional. When these issues were brought to their attention, they did their best to rectify them. Do not recommend.

Rosa, was absolutely amazing! We came in to celebrate our anniversary today and she was our waitress. When I say she was extremely accommodating I mean just that. Down to me asking for an onion boil and her not knowing what that was. Her manager Zack came to inquire about it quickly. When I say he sent someone to the store to get an onion to make the onion boil, believe me that's what he did. This is one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had and I promise I will be a regular customer. Thank you for the hospitality and great food!!

First time eating here im from Houston Tx and I love food. We walked and and greeted right away with a great big hello. Young lady showed us to our seat. We look over clean menu and began to order. I had about 5 ppl with me and we had a great experience. Food fresh and hott with refills for drinks without asking. Very attentive waiter with a great attitude. Lots of good team work going on here . Great job guys. See these food photos

Hubby made plans for my birthday lunch, so the restaurantwas not busy when we arrived. Rosa our waitress was very nice, shared the days specials which we ordered. Crab and shrimp eggrolls (not real crabmeat but tasty). Surf and turf down right tasty! Filet mignon cooked just like I like Medium. Nice sized shrimp with great flavor. Although the crab cake was not lump meat, it was tasty. My birthday dessert was sweet😋 I would come back. And for the Detriot fans that arrived as we were leaving, this is Birdland!!

I ordered the honey glazed salmon with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach for my main dish and we also had calamari and the crab dip for appetizers. The food was phenomenal!!! We loved the atmosphere. The layout is really nice. Service was spot on and we actually met Angie. She was actually there with her staff and everything appeared to just flow. I can tell her staff enjoys working there. They all seem to work like it was a family business. Love this place and will definitely return.

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Angie's Seafood on a quiet Sundayafternoon. Our service was simply incredible. Drinks were fantastic. Our meals were so well prepared. And the quantity was abundant. Can't wait to return.

The food and atmosphere was over the top. Rosa was an amazing server and gave great recommendations for us being first timers. As a local from DC I will definitely come back!!

I had a great time on a date this evening at Angie’s. Our server P was very attentive and hospitable. Our food was to die for!! We got the lamb chops, crab trio and several sides and appetizers to share. This is my first time coming and I’ll definitely be back soon.

Restaurant was pretty quiet located on the fifth floor of the hotel. Even though the city was busy, and there are lots of hotel guests, the restaurant was pretty empty both times that I went. Service took a little while, but that may be because there weren’t that many people eating there. The food was pricey for what it was, but then again it was a hotel restaurant. It was a nice of view of the Baltimore Harbor and the staff was very willing to let all the guests sit close to the windows.

We recently visited Water Table before having lunch with family in Baltimore, and it was such a great experience! The location is fantastic, offering a beautiful water view that really adds to the atmosphere. The kids loved it, and their excitement made the day even more special. The food was delicious—everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. I also have to mention the cocktails; they were amazing! It’s clear they put a lot of thought into their drink menu. Overall, we had a wonderful time, and I can’t wait to come back the next time we’re visiting family. Highly recommend Water for a lovely meal with a view!

Bang Bang shrimp was outstanding along with the salted caramel bread pudding. Waygu smash burger was tasteless with a slice of lettuce and tomato so small you couldn’t see it or taste it. No flavor, seasonings or sauce of any type in the burger. The sangria was pure sugar and to sweet to drink. Service wasn’t at its best here. Our waiter talked so softly we had to ask him to speak up several times. Our window seat was great. We just wouldn’t come back or recommend this place to others tho

Review for their food sent room service, not in restaurant. Nashville hot wings tasted like regular wings, not bad, but no hot or flavor about it. Wing size was decent. Rueben sandwich was soggy and almost no meat, mostly sauerkraut. What meat was on it was dry and not good. Supposed to come with chips on order and didn’t provide any.

Came here for breakfast 2 days in a row. Food was delicious, staff was very friendly and helpful. Amazing views of the inner harbor.

Our family came here for Mother's Day and it was an amazing experience. It was more than 30 of us and they allowed us to be seated in a room with a beautiful room. The food was good and the omlet bar was amazing! Looking forward to next year!

Food is good compared to most food around the area, but it is on the pricey side. Well it is a restaurant within the hotel so you are paying hotel kinda prices.

We loved the amazing views! We were here celebrating a birthday, and the staff surprised us with a complimentary ice cream sundae — such a thoughtful treat. If it’s your first time visiting, one thing to keep in mind is that the meal presentation and menu items can change frequently. What we saw in recent reviews didn’t quite match what was on the actual menu, so it’s best to stay open-minded. Also, if you have food allergies, I’d recommend calling ahead to confirm what options are available for you. While most of our selections were fantastic, we felt the steak could’ve used more seasoning — we didn’t end up finishing it. Everything else we ordered was delicious, and the drinks were excellent. In terms of pricing, although many reviews mention a budget of $50–$100 per person, we found it more realistic to plan for at least $150 per person.Valet parking options are available. If you are able to walk or take an uber. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and definitely worth visiting!

Came to Bygone because I had heard so much about it. Reservation are also needed for the Bar.It was date nite and wanted to go some were new to relax and have drinks and desserts. I found a good one!! The ambiance alone will have you in awe.the veiws are outstanding The Bar area was perfect for what we came for. The choice of bar or lounge seating was nice. Upon arrival you are seated promptly by the hostess and my Waitress was nice and welcoming. The cocktails and desserts were delish! I will definitely habe to come back for Brunch or dinner. So if your inbthe area try them out!!

I’ve been to The Bygone twice now—once for brunch and once for dinner—and both times were outstanding. The brunch buffet was fresh, flavorful, and felt elevated, not just “standard.” Dinner was just as impressive with beautifully plated dishes and attentive service. And the view? Absolutely stunning—especially at night when the city lights sparkle over the water. This place is more than a meal; it’s an experience. I’ll definitely be back.

We stopped for a drink before dinner so that we could enjoy the views from the 29th floor at sunset. It did not disappoint. Beautiful views, great drinks, classy decor and great service. Highly recommended!

🚨 THIS REVIEW IS ONLY FOR THE BAR AREA 🚨 We visited The Bygone on the 29th floor of the Four Seasons Baltimore and it absolutely delivered on everything you’d want from a rooftop bar experience. From the moment we walked into the lobby downstairs, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive—setting the vibe right away. Even on a Thursday night, the bar wasn’t overcrowded at all, which was honestly perfect. It felt like we could actually relax and soak it all in without fighting for space or service. Once upstairs, the views over the Inner Harbor were stunning. They have two gorgeous indoor decks with floor-to-ceiling windows plus an outdoor terrace where you can actually take your drink outside and get those panoramic views. The decor is honestly one of my favorite things about this spot. It’s got this classic, art deco-inspired look—lots of polished wood, tufted leather, rich velvet, and beautiful lighting. It feels upscale and timeless without being stuffy. The bar team was great too. Our bartender was super knowledgeable and friendly, offering suggestions and chatting with us while making the drinks. Service was quick even though it was busy enough to feel lively. The cocktails themselves were solid—very well balanced and tasty. They average around $20 each, which for Baltimore might be considered a bit on the higher side, but for a rooftop in a luxury hotel with those views and that vibe? Totally worth it. It’s the kind of place that really feels special—a fantastic date night spot or a place to celebrate something. Overall, we loved the experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their night out in Baltimore. 5 out of 5 stars from us—The Bygone is one of the best rooftop bar experiences in the city, hands down.

We were impressed by The Bygone very creative menu, wonderful hospitality and great customer service! Props to our waiter Alex which made our entire experience welcoming and explained every dish to its core! Fresh ingredients, wonderful presentation and explosion of flavors with a magnificent view to the Baltimore Inner Harbor.

Went here on a date during a weeknight, we made a reservation for 8 pm. We were seated promptly, and everyone was very welcoming. The ambiance was quite nice, the views are great, but it's hard to complain about the ambiance and views in a waterfront restaurant. The food was amazing, the chef here has a knack for flavor combinations and presentation, my only complaint was the timing, which was absolutely ridiculous. Took an average of 40+ minutes to get drinks out; they said they had an event going on at the bar which leads me to believe their manager either understaffed them or their bartender(s) weren't up to the task of one event and a restaurant that had maybe 5 tables. While their alcohol selection is good, I ordered two French martinis and got two very different drinks each time, neither of which I would call a French martini but oh well. The house cocktails were good but again all of these were at least a 40 minute wait so that definitely detracted from the experience. Then when the food also took forever to come out, we ended up having multiple long moments with neither drinks nor food on our table. I don't know if the kitchen was having a problem or what was going on but some courses came out at a decent rate and others we were waiting almost an hour for. All in all, it took about 4 hours to get through our meal. For a place with food as good as this I'm very disappointed that I walked away thinking I should've just gone to Charleston, or that their chef worked anywhere else.

We celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary at Ampersea and it was everything we hoped for...romantic, welcoming, and delicious. From the moment we arrived, the service was top tier. Joey, the manager, set the tone with excellent hospitality, and our waitress was incredibly kind and attentive. The food was outstanding! We shared the pretzel crab dip to start, then enjoyed the stuffed seafood lasagna and a perfectly seasoned crab cake. Every bite was fresh and flavorful, truly showcasing the best of Baltimore dining. The atmosphere was just what we wanted...intimate yet lively, with a beautiful waterfront vibe that made our evening extra special (even with kids). Ampersea delivered on food, service, and experience, making our anniversary one to remember. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a romantic dinner or simply a top-notch meal in the city.

Our waitress, Cassidy was fabulous! Excellent service and a fun personality! The manager, Joey is the best photographer and spent time with my family to take the most perfect and fun photos. He was so much fun!!! Our experience was priceless!!! Our food was delicious, as well!!!

I cannot say anything bad about this place. From the ambience to the food to the service, everything was exceptional. The manager Joey was amazing and he took the best photos of my bf and I after our dinner! We will definitely be back for brunch. It was a little humid but I'm excited for a cooler day for the outdoor seating overlooking the harbor. Just a perfect setting with perfect food. Definitely check this place out!

Our waitress Cassidy was so kind and generous — I loved talking to her! The manager, Joey, was absolutely spectacular. He even took pictures for me and my friends, and they came out so lovely. The food was great — I personally had the crab cake and salad, and mmm I would definitely get that again! Overall, such a great experience. I’ll definitely be back!

I had an amazing dining experience at Ampersea! The crab cake I ordered was absolutely delicious—fresh, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavor. On top of the great food, the service really stood out. The manager, Joey, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. His professionalism and friendly personality made the visit even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great dishes and excellent hospitality!

The food was delicious, but what really made our experience memorable was the service. Joey, the server manager, went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Thank you, Joey, for your kindness and attention to detail!

My family and I dined at Ampersea last night 8/20 for my daughter’s birthday. We were greeted by Joey, a manager, whom directed us to our seats. Which he made sure we had the best seats by the water of course. The service was beyond amazing. The food was 10/10 but an honorable mention goes to the Shrimp and Crab dip w/the pretzel. I’ve had crab dip around the city at plenty of restaurants but this is EASILY the best I’ve had. While dining Joey came and checked on us multiple times. This guy is truly the best! He made our experience like no other and for that I will always patronize Ampersea. Our waitress Kee Kee was so warm as well. I can’t wait to bring my mom here when she visits! Ampersea you have a returning customer in me!

We really enjoyed our meal at Blackwall Hitch. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was also outstanding; our server was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. Parking was convenient but quite expensive, so be prepared for that if you’re driving. The biggest drawback was the location. Unfortunately, downtown Baltimore has become noticeably less inviting. The area around the restaurant was dirty, and we encountered several homeless individuals digging through trash and asking for money, which made us feel a bit uncomfortable. That said, once inside, Blackwall Hitch offered a great dining experience. If you’re planning a visit, just be aware of the surroundings and plan accordingly.

After looking forward to eating at this restaurant for a while, it turned out to disappoint at every turn. We sat at the bar where there bartender seemed like she was miserable being at her job and had her belongs sprawled out across the bar. While the rest of the staff stood in a corner openly playing on their cell phones. Our drinks had no coasters or napkins (I had to get my own) under them and served in dirty glassware. We ordered the shrimp and grits and what was said to be chorizo was quite clearly ground beef. Zero spice, zero attempt to mask the fact they’re using ground beef. My husband was served risotto that tasted awful. When we tried to pay our bill using a gift card, the manager refused to honor it. We had called the night before and spoke to a host to get the balance and after being told we needed to call a partnered restaurant to do so, he assured us we could use the card at their location. The manager flat out told us we should’ve asked to speak to a manager instead of a host for a very simple request. Instead of trying to fix any type of mistake his staff made, he shrugged his arms in a “oh well” fashion and walked off. If you are looking to have a mediocre dinner accompanied with awful customer service, this is the place for you.

Visited Baltimore for the weekend and decided to try Blackwall Hitch. The decor and overall atmosphere are absolutely lovely — elegant, stylish, and inviting without feeling stuffy. We ordered the mimosa bucket, which runs about $50 and is actually a great deal for the amount of champagne included. Definitely worth it if you’re brunching with friends. To start, we had half a dozen oysters, which were fresh and flavorful — I’d give them a solid 8/10. For my entrée, I had the crab cake eggs benedict, which was good overall. I just wish the eggs had been a bit more poached and runny, as they were slightly overcooked, but the flavor was still there — 7/10. My friend ordered the Baltimore breakfast skillet, which was hearty and filling — lots of food, and everything tasted fresh. The only thing that fell a little short were the grits; they were a bit grainy and underwhelming. However, the sausages were great and well-seasoned. Service was excellent — friendly, attentive, and quick. The staff made sure we had everything we needed, and I also have to mention that the bathrooms were spotless, which is always appreciated. Overall, a great experience with good food, great service, and a beautiful setting. I’d definitely go back next time I’m in Baltimore.

It was my first time at this location. My friend and I were looking for a place nearby to eat and asked someone in passing who happened to work there. That was lucky for us since we were very satisfied with our dining experience there. The fried green tomatoes came on a bed of grits, and they were yummy. My friend also had a crab cake sandwich, and I had crispy shrimp tacos and the sauce had a nice kick. So good! Even the french fries were delicious.

Service was fantastic! Our server was great and offerred recommendations since this was our first visit to the restaurant. The food was good! We ordered the Eggs Benedict with asparagus and Chicken and Waffles. It was a nice day so we ate outside on the patio. Definitely want to visit this spot again!!

Went with my family (2 adults and 2 kids) on 9/6. My wife loved her shrimp tacos, and the kids loved the cheese pizza. I might have just ordered the wrong thing but the fish sandwich was the blandest dish I've had in awhile (wife concurred). The waitress got us some tartar sauce and we tried to add that and it was still not helping unfortunately. Our waitress was great, when she was there but disappeared for 15+ mins at a time. For example, we got our food delivered, took a bite of the sandwich... And was next able to ask for tartar sauce at the same time I asked for the check because everyone had finished their food. Fries were great. If my wife wants to go, I'll go again but it wouldn't be my first choice.

I HAD AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE AT THIS RESTAURANT EVERYTHING WAS ON POINT FROM THE SERVICE TO THE FLAVOR OF THE FOOD THE CRAB DIP WAS RICH AND CREAMY PACKED WITH FRESH SEAFOOD FLAVOR THE STEAK WAS COOKED PERFECTLY TENDER AND JUICY THE CHICKEN WAS SEASONED JUST RIGHT AND THE SALMON MELTED IN MY MOUTH EVERY BITE WAS FULL OF FLAVOR AND MADE WITH CARE THE STAFF WAS FRIENDLY ATTENTIVE AND MADE ME FEEL WELCOMED THE ATMOSPHERE WAS RELAXING CLEAN AND PERFECT FOR A NICE NIGHT OUT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE WHO LOVES GREAT FOOD AND GREAT SERVICE… OUR SERVER TERRANCE WAS GREAT

This is our second visit to Choptank. The hostess was very nice and friendly and seated us immediately upon entry. Our waitress Taylor was very attentive. She did an amazing job. We ordered the cream of crab soup, old-fashioned (drink), oysters, po’boy (fish), and crab cake entree, with corn pudding. Everything was amazing. We also had a special visit from Jordan, Roy and the executive chef Calvin. Jordan’s hospitality was unmatched. We had a great conversation with Roy and Calvin. We can't wait to meet up again when they are not working. If you are looking for good food, service, staff, and atmosphere check out Choptank. We are loyal foodies and we know an amazing organization when we see one. Choptank and the Atlas Group is top tier.

This was my second visit to choptank in Fells point and it did not disappoint. We started with lemon drop cocktails crafted by my favorite bartender Ryan for appetizers we tried the honey ole bay wings and jumbo meatball with garlic bread-both amazing. We were so full, that we ended up taking our main courses to go, but I enjoyed the crabcake mac & cheese and salad for dinner at home. They were fantastic. Can’t wait to come back Ryan you made me a fan.

We tried several menu items, and everything was great. We got Maryland crab+cream of crab soup, which was excellent. We also got the tartare, calamari, and a dozen raw oysters. It was all delicious! I also loved the house margarita ❤️

Wonderful crab cakes and outdoor patio. Also have great local beers on draft and wonderful service. Highly recommended if in fells point. Note you can split the crab cake meal and get your own sides which are huge.

Decided to come downtown Baltimore to see what has changed and found this newly renovated location on Broadway market. Very nice and spacious!! Came for drinks and appetizers. No wait on Monday nights, got to take I the ambiance. The food of choice was the Choptank wings(good), Cream of crab soup(need more crabmeat good), potato skins( different flavor but good), passion fruit Margarita and Long island Ice tea. Bartender was good! Over all happy with my choices. Will have to try again for dinner. If in the area try them out!!

OMFG!!! First off, Micky is THE best!! She explained all the dishes to us and gave her personal recommendations and everything that she suggested was PHENOMENAL!! She makes AMAZING drinks and she talked to us like we were long time friends! ChopTank, you TRULY have a gem having Micky work at your establishment! We will be coming back!! Food was PERFECT!! We definitely left with a smile on our faces! Micky YOU ROCK!!! ☺️😊

Really good crab cake 🔥 the drinks were good, Cole slaw was also really good and I’m not a Cole slaw fan but it helped balance out the crab cake 👌 definitely left satisfied 👏🙌

Called for a last minute stop as we were driving by town. Got a table outdoors, which was nice for a summer evening. Lovely staff, great array of raw oysters. Soft shell crab sandwich was excellent, as was the white fish pate. Great neighborhood gem.

Great Neighborhood Oyster House situated on a Corner in Hampden .The Food , Service and atmosphere are all so , so good ! They have one of THE best Burgers in town . It’s flavorful , moist ..simply delish .

Good food and drinks - pricey. And you’ll read about an oyster happy hour which is no longer the case. In fact, the waitress answered me like I was a lunatic for asking about it while sitting at the bar.

My husband and I had the best time sitting at the bar last night! We tried 3 different types of oysters, and they were all so fresh and expertly shucked. It was fun watching the process from the bar. Also the mignonette was delish. Great atmosphere, great vibes, great food -- excited to return!

Amazing service, amazing oysters, unique menu, and great atmosphere. We will be back on our next visit. Highly recommend!

Had raw & broiled oysters, burger, trout and cauliflower. Everything was DELICIOUS! That was the best trout I have ever eaten. The skin was crispy, the flesh tender and buttery. The broiled oysters should be served with bread, so you can enjoy all the buttery goodness.

Soft shell crab sandwich was amazing along with our server and the owner. I am telling anyone visiting Baltimore they must go here!

We had a great time here with friends for a Saturday early happy hour. The happy hour menu is a steal! The oysters were fantastic and the cocktails were amazing. I would totally go for happy hour again. I do love their dinner menu however the portion is slightly on the less side. You have to order a bunch which makes the bill kinda high, also on top of that they automatically charge 20% plus the kitchen fee 2%. The food quality was no doubt tho. Everything we ordered was fantastic, the balance of flavor and richness was just spot on. I enjoyed everything very much! They serve beer bread as well, which was also my favorite kind of bread. Overall it was such a great restaurant. I highly recommend it for special occasions due to the portion and the price, or just simply go for happy hour only.

I usually know a place is great when I'm already thinking about the return trip! The oysters were phenomenal. First time I tried Snakehead, which I'd recommend. The drinks were impressive. Service could've been better but maybe it was an off night. You should be able to find parking. Next time have to get the chicken sandwich that everyone seemed to be buying!

We celebrated my aunt’s birthday at True Chesapeake and had an excellent experience despite the restaurant being short-staffed. We started at the bar for happy hour with fresh, house-made margaritas and top-tier oysters—especially delicious with the bourbon hot sauce and watermelon mignonette. For dinner, our waitress recommended the Northside, a refreshing NA mojito-style drink, alongside seared scallops (gluten-free, prepared with care to avoid cross-contamination) and the blue crab & bone marrow dip, which my aunt loved. Dessert was a rich peanut butter, chocolate, and marshmallow creation—wonderful but very sweet. Great service, thoughtful recommendations, and fantastic seafood will have me back before summer ends. Heads up, if you’re driving and you think you’re lost, keep driving!

All the oysters we tried were good from the raw to roasted. Steak tartare was a little chunky but not bad. Blue crab and marrow dip was delicious. Service was great but the atmosphere became loud. Restaurant tipped themselves even though we only had 4 people in our party and the kitchen also took a 2%. No one informed us of that. I would prefer to tip ourselves instead of force tipping.

Great atmosphere! Pat was our bartender and he was phenomenal, great recommendations and attentive service even with a bunch of tickets at the bar. Pat the owner was great too, great conversation with both of them. Delicious food, oysters, steak tartare and blue crab and bone marrow were great. Could not recommend the place enough! Brown Sugar Bourbon ice cream is out of this world.

True Chesapeake Oyster is an absolute vibe! From start to finish, our experience was incredible. The cocktails were perfectly crafted, the oysters fresh, briny, and local! Every dish we tried—from the scallops to the ribeye and duck confit—was unforgettable. The food quality is insane, and you can truly taste the passion behind every bite. The service was top notch—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. A special highlight was when the chef personally came to our table to share the rich history of the building. It added such a meaningful touch to an already perfect evening. We ended on a high note with a dessert that blew us away. Can’t wait to return

Traffic was terrible leaving Baltimore, so I found this place to hunker down until the roads became tolerable. It's a little difficult to find the door as it's inside a rather non-descript, industrial building. Service was fast (if not curt), but the star of the show is the Happy Hour menu. 2 dollar oysters and 6 dollar old fashioneds! They feature the shucker prominently at the bar, making quick work of the shells in front of him. They have a menu beyond HH that ranges from 15 - 80 dollars, with Oysters from around the area and things like Crab Mac and Cheese. I got here when they opened at 5 but it doesn't seem to get terribly crowded on a Tuesday evening. Nice spot, I'll be back soon.

Very good food and excellent service. We started with the deviled eggs, which were topped with fried catfish rather than fried oysters. The grilled branzino was succulent and flavorful. Unfortunately the white bean puree, which was heavy with cumin, seemed out of place. I would have preferred a little lemon, maybe capers, in it for a more mediterranean flair. The tiramisu brownie was decadent. Noise level was high considering the restaurant was only half full.

10/10 no notes! Visiting my family in MD for the weekend and this was #1 on my to do list to try! The oysters and food were excellent. What I loved the most was the red snapper nuggets! My goodness, I can’t to go back and have it again! The deliver eggs with the fried oyster on top, magnificent! Love the ambiance of the place and staff were pleasant and welcoming!

This is an experience! My best friends and I, were on a girls’ trip through 4 cities. But this dining experience by far was the best! I ate the chargrilled oysters to start and the seafood flatbread for dinner & it was delicious! I live in Atlanta and fully intend to immerse myself in the same experience the very next time I am in Philadelphia!

Lovely find in the cute neighborhood of Hampden in Baltimore. We were traveling back to DC from Philly and decided to stop for lunch in Baltimore. They offer much more than oysters as only my partner eats oysters. Reservations are a must on the weekends. We didnt make one and just sat at the bar. It's a beautiful, quaint restaurant. Service was attentive. For appetizers, we ordered the oyster deviled eggs and red snapper bites. The latter is actually a whole snapper, chopped into bites and sautéed in a sweet sand spicy sauce then placed back on the fileted body of the snapper. Both items were very good (although my partner said that oysterson top of the deviled eggs were just ok). We also had the collards/cabbage side item. Im not a fan of cooked cabbage, but this combo was well-seasoned and tasty. Our entrees were the branzino and the crab cakes. They crab cakes were all meat and no filler. They were pretty good. The branzino itself was ok (grilled and only seasoned with salt and pepper), but when you eat it with the bean puree underneath, it is really good. For dessert we had the vanilla butter cake and subd the mango sorbet instead of the vanilla ice cream. The dessert was superb. Definitely recommend stopping by.

Food was great!!! The service was a bit slow but it was crowded the evening we went so it was maybe to be expected. I would definitely be back for some delicious seafood. Highly recommend the lobster roll, snapper bites and the scallop entree!

I had high expectations for Urban Oyster. Unfortunately the food was lackluster. We snagged a last minute reservation for an early dinner and were seated right away. Started off hot with the oysters - the best thing we ordered in my opinion. The oysters were very fresh. I ordered the grilled branzino and my friend ordered the seared scallops as mains. (We skipped apps- nothing super appealing though the deviled eggs were tempting). The grilled branzino had no taste, and the green sauce it came with didn’t seem to go that well with the fish. The seared scallops were better in my opinion, scallops were good and the risotto was surprisingly light. It wasn’t anything to phone home about though. I felt a little unsatisfied by the meal but we still decided on trying the dessert while we were there. We ordered the key lime cheesecake - it’s regular cheesecake topped with a key lime curd and a graham cracker crust. It was good but the crust was a bit too dense and hard to cut through with just a spoon. Tasted good though- although Im just a fan of anything key lime. The cocktails were tasty but a little light on flavor. Overall, I love the vibe of the restaurant but not sure I’d come back any time soon unless for oysters and a drink.

I visit Baltimore often from Texas, so I'm always researching unique and local fare to experience. On this visit, my friend who has heard of this place also recommended we try it. It did not disappoint. Let's talk ambiance and decor. I would call it "sophisticated chic." From the front door to the restrooms. A color pallette that says "it's a vibe" to "date night romantic." I love the open view into the kitchen. Makes you completely one with all the staff. Speaking of staff, shout out to bartenders Abby and new hire Keyes! Great service and warmth. Both the food menu and the cocktail menu had just changed on the day visited. Abby's passion for her craft, as well as her love and pride for this black owned female establishment, was obvious. Now the food...wow! We, of course, went for the fresh shucked oysters as well as a variety of some grilled ones. So fresh and delish. We tried most of the app menu, and it did not disappoint. We ended the evening with a warm butter cake with a strawberry coulis...well you get the picture. Perfect balance of sweetness and richness. Had to order something from the dinner menu to go. How could we not! Short rib Parpedelle can't wait to try. I know it will hit. Overall, it was a great experience from food to service to staff. Oh yeah...price...well somewhat pricey but worth it. I recommend the Happy Hour, great menu pricing there. Would have loved to have met Chef Jasmine...maybe next time.
