A bit on the slow side from the waiter, especially when they add an 18% gratuity on the bill. Atmosphere is pretty nice. not too loud, kind of open air feeling. Decore is all about the sea, which is pretty cool as a whole. Boil bag seems to be the popular choice. food was good as they give a nice choice of flavors (old bay, garlic butter, etc) along with a mild, spicy or hot option to boot. Wouldn't mind coming back if I was in the area. read more

Baltimore Seafood - Having dinner in Downtown Balitmore - Seafood Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

The food here was so good! I was actually surprised. I had Big Catch and chose the black mussels, snow crabs & shrimp with head on. It also came with corn and red skin potatoes and let me tell you, the presentation and flavor were great. It can easily feed two so it's worth the price. The service was also good, the waitress catered to our needs and the ambiance was befitting. A nice seafood setting with brown paper laid on the table for the mess you'll make, the gloves, bucket and necessary bib for the carnage of seafood. read more

My bf and I decided to check out Canton for dinner and we passed by this restaurant on our way to NiHao. NiHao happened to be closed until February so we stopped by here instead after the ocean paella caught our eye. They had happy hour all day for drinks until February and HH food was 3-7 every day. So we ordered the crab bites and the Netflix and chill drink plus a draft. I'm usually a lightweight when it comes to alcohol so I'd say my drink was very weak when I couldn't really taste any alcohol nor did it get me buzzed. So either there was no alcohol in it or it was less than a shot of rum bc it was on the HH menu -- you be the judge. The crab bites were great and seafood boil was tasty but I asked for fire level of spicy-ness and I got very mild. Also the ocean paella was not paella. It was more seafood fried rice than paella. A traditional paella would have saffron in it and cooked in a paella pan. This dish had fried egg, peas and diced carrots--ingredients you would find in a fried rice dish. So would I order that again, absolutely not. The seafood boil maybe but it better burn my tongue next time. read more

The prices are reasonable here, and the food is fine, but it's crazy loud and super tacky. There's no real silverware, making it impossible to actually eat crab legs if you order crab legs as part of your seafood boil, which I did, not realizing there were no real forks--only plastic ones. They won't break up the check more than 4 ways, which I wouldn't normally care about, except that they participate in an app called Timeleft In which 6-7 strangers meet for dinner at a restaurant. (Pretty much all the restaurants that participate in this program understand complete strangers are paying separately.) They automatically add 18% gratuity to all checks, regardless of the number of people in your party, which again, I'm fine with. But then they have "suggested" tips listed at the bottom like it wasn't already added, which I find pretty annoying. I never tip less than 20%, but I get that people can be jerks, so I'm fine with auto gratuity. I'm not fine with pretending you didn't already add it and trying to dupe someone into doubling up and tipping on top of tipping. If you like seafood boils and wearing a plastic bib to dine, this place is fine. The food's not bad, but I would skip the hush puppies. Just bring your own utensils to get into your crab legs, because they won't give you anything other than a plastic fork. This just isn't my scene. P.S. The mango crush was disgusting--don't get it. The color was like toxic nuclear waste. Thank God I only paid $6 for one sip of this HH monstrosity. read more

First time and would recommend for sure . Came in on a random Tuesday right when they opened at 3pm. Definitely brought my greediness along with me . Between my friend and I , we ordered : shrimp tacos, coconut shrimp, mozzarella sticks, honey old bay wings, and calamari . In my opinion everything but the coconut shrimp was appeasing , whereas my friend favored the wings and shrimp over his shrimp tacos . Our bartender was great. She made a mango Long Island that definitely packed a bunch of. The overall look of the place was clean . It had 2 little cute spots to take photos . The music was on point and was giving 90s throwback vibes street parking available read more

Now the first time I went to Bmore Seafood, I really enjoyed it and even posted about them, but my experience on Valentine's Day was very poor, and we did not even get to eat. On Valentine's Day I made an 8:15 pm reservation and called asking to "push it 20-25 minutes minutes back". They asked me if 8:30 or 8:45 would be okay and I confirmed 8:45. Once I arrived (at 8:30) I checked in multiple times and was told our table was not ready each time - figuring because it was busy. I waited for nearly an hour for the table with 2 young babies in the car, upon checking for the last time on what the wait would be. At this point I was told my reservation was at 9:45. This was never stated to me the previous 2-3 times I checked on the wait time, nor did I request this time. I explained that the time they input was incorrect and I've been waiting 1 hr for a table that should've been ready at 8:45. There was no remorse, no friendly service, not even an apology & the response was quite dismissive which made us just say forget it and we would dine elsewhere - which was nearly impossible on a Friday night on Valentine's Day. I was not happy, especially since I had a perfect experience months ago. Not sure if I will be back now due to this experience. read more

Great happy hour prices and specials on food daily. No reservation, you can sit at the bar but probably only 2-3 people. Make a reservation even for any hour of the day if you are bigger party. Laid back and a great atmosphere. Happy Hour Cocktails are a good deal...but don't bank on the taste. The rum punch and mango long island is a safe bet AND only 5 dollars! read more

And when I left I was still hungry also THEY ADD 18% gratuity AUTOMATICALLY REGARDLESS OF THE PARTY SIZE and the ASK FOR MORE SMH. Kinda loud and the space is clean so that's good I guess read more

Baltimore Seafood - Empty tables but a wait? - Seafood Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

When in Rome... or in this case, when in Baltimore, eat as they do! So on my recent trip to Baltimore, seafood was on my mind. More specifically, crabs! I'm a biggg fan of a seafood boil and grew up with a mom who instilled the love of seafood in us as children, and that hasn't changed a bit. Being from Florida, I've had my fair share of crabs in all styles, but had to try them in Baltimore after hearing it was a specialty! My friends and I stopped into this joint for a quick lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Upon entry, we were the only party in there that I could really see, which I'm totally not used to in the seafood joints in Florida so woohoo! We were seated quickly and started browsing the menu. Nothing too crazy or out of the norm from what I'm used to and prices were pretty reasonable. When ordering my beer, we learned that they were out of the local beer and like 2 others we requested (we weren't given a beer menu so we were just throwing out names at one point), so that kinda sucked but it happens! I'd rather have a fresh draft vs. one they are scrounging to fill the glass with the flat remainder left in the keg. So, the beer ended up working out for us. For my meal, I went with Steamed Oysters with plans to order more after I finished my dozen. The flavor was on point! Garlicky, spicy, delicious! BUT - the oysters were barely hot! I'm one of those people that likes my food HOTTTT, I mean, burn my tongue off (but give me a warning LOL because I know you really can hurt yourself out here lol) so room temperature anything isn't a fave. I asked our server to "heat" them up somehow and she happily obliged, but from then on I was hesitant to hype up the rest of the meal. So I decided to end my meal there and fill up on something else later, but I did enjoy my server, the calm atmosphere and ultimately the flavor! read more

I completely love that Baltimore Seafood is black owned. I've visited three times in the past two months (once for carry out and twice for dine in). The service is always great. Shoutout to Tia! The music and atmosphere are definitely a vibe. The Big Catch is enough to feed two people. I've tried the House Blend, and it's good, but the Garlic Butter with Cajun is definitely the combo for me. I wish the house blend was a bit sweeter. The hush puppies are absolutely delicious and I've gotten them everytime. The crab bites I could go without. I was excited for the scallops. They are a bit on the small side for me, but still cooked very well. About average beer selection and a good list of cocktails. I do wish the noodle add on was actually noodles and not penne pasta. I'll be back again and again. read more

Baltimore Seafood - The Big Catch - Seafood Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Service was great.. I initially came for blue crabs and oysters but then decided I wanted crabs only. I got build a bag with blue crabs and snow crab legs with the old bay sauce. The blue crabs were medium and you get a couple of small potatoes and 1 small ear of corn. It was so good and I ate everything. The spiculy margarita was perfect. I even ordered one to go. Do not order The breadsticks. They were hard and gross. It was like they were frozen and then someone baked them and put them in a microwave for a minute. There are plenty of things I want to try on the menu like the crab fries. I'll return soon. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Baltimore Seafood! First, there's a wonderful island vibe, like you're on vacation. Second, the staff is super-friendly and took great care of us. We were there during happy hour, so we got some mixed drinks (Rum Punch and an Ocean Blue) that were delicious, large, and heavy on the alcohol. Mmmm! We got the Triple Four off of the happy hour menu and it was 4 coconut shrimp, four wings, and four mozzarella sticks. Perfection! For entrees, I got the fried oyster basket and my fiancé got the fried shrimp. I loved that you had a choice, at no extra charge of getting sweet potato fries instead of regular. Everyone around us got boil bags that looked amazing! Next time, definitely! The food here is outrageously good and reasonably priced. I do recommend making a reservation since it's not a huge place. read more

When I came there was an ample amount of seating. The waiter was quick and efficient. Initially, my order was wrong, but it was rectified. I created my combo with shrimp, clams, and crawfish without the corn and added eggs. It was good and seasoned well. I got the house blend seasoning mild (since it was my first time). They give you plenty I wasn't able to finish everything. I also ordered the rum punch (they have Happy Hour on the weekends from 3-7). They also add a 15% gratuity to your bill, which the waiter most definitely earned, so no argument here. The bathrooms were clean and well-stocked. I will most definitely come back. read more

A new go-to favorite! I've been on a fervish search for a new seafood boil spot, after quite a few disappointing experiences. On a whim, I decided to check out Baltimore Seafood because of the overwhelming number of good reviews. The space is currently, fully open, but I decided to get my order to-go. I wanted spare the other patrons of my messy, slow eating LOL. The online ordering process was simple and easy. They even post their specials online, so you don't even need to call it in. You can also select the pick-up time as long as it's more than half an hour out. I ordered the Weekend Royale with the House Blend at the Spicy level (1lb shrimp, heads off, 1 lb crawfish, 1/2 lb snow crab legs, corn, and potatoes) for $42!!! A steal. I added another 1/2 lb of snow crab legs for $17 because I was feeling extra indulgent LOL. I also ordered their Soft Shell Crab basket (inclues two fried soft shelled crabs, and fries). The area is full of businesses and yhe American Can Company is down the street. There's a lot of paid street parking on the main road. However, if you turn into the side streets that are more residential, you shouldnt have any issues finding a space during the day. My order was already when I arrived, so I was quickly on my way back home. Everything was packaged well, and they included two sets of plastic gloves, wet napkins, and some ketchup. IT WAS CHOW TIME! The flavor was there. The seafood cooked perfectly with a few crawfish overcooked, but no biggie. I was more worried about the shrimp & crab legs LOL. There were also 2 corns and 4 medium potatoes. I thought I could finish it all one sitting, but it was too much food. I was able to spread it across two large meals, and another for the soft shell crab basket. Not bad for 3 meals. Baltimore Seafood is wonderful & I can't wait to go back again soon! read more

Baltimore Seafood - Weekend Royale special - Seafood Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

The food was good enough, but they added an 18% tip on the bill and then when the credit card slip came they were encouraging another tip.

In need of new scenery for date night, I looked for seafood place in Baltimore that would provide a new experience and a new Yelp review lol. Sometimes you have to travel outside of your normal area to find the gems that lay just a stones throw away. All of the reviews currently listed were positive so I said what the heck and made the 54 min drive to Baltimore for an early dinner. We arrived slightly before 6pm to a sign that said everyday happy hour from 3pm to 7pm...I was pretty much hooked at that point. Baltimore Seafood offers daily and weekend specials. We ended up with the seafood weekend special which was plenty for 2 people at just $42. The meal came with corn, shrimp, crawfish, and crab legs. Btw the crawfish and shrimp were huge... Social distancing was followed by our excellent server Nikki and the only complaint I have is I wish this business was closer to my house. read more

Definitely had to support this Black Owned business and was happy we made this stop. Staff was friendly and attentive. Was happy to see young kids working and doing a good job at it. I had the Caribbean Ol' Fashion and it was perfect. Very strong and worth it. Crabmeat fries were good. I was expecting for my fries to come out hot. Instead I could they say for a bit and the crabmeat was placed on top. The meat had good seasoning. The Build a Catch was good. We ordered Ole Bay, mild and the flavor was on point. I couldn't get enough of it, kept dipping my corn, meat, potato in it. Not one person has a complaint about their meal. We were very much satisfied and would come back. read more

I dined here during a business trip with two other people. I made a reservation via OpenTable and we were seated as soon as we arrived. Our waitress was phenomenal. She was very attentive, and ensured that our ordering process went as smoothly as possible. The seafood boil was delicious, and everyone enjoyed their meals. Our drinks were good as well. The prices are reasonable, and we left satisfied. I would recommend trying this place out if you're looking for clean fresh seafood in the area and you're craving a seafood boil. read more

Yesterday, my daughter and I stopped here after an event in DC, lured by high ratings. I should have trusted my uneasy instincts the moment we stepped inside the restaurant but we were starving! I ordered the coconut shrimp as an appetizer, but they were rubbery and tasteless--horrible...didn't eat them. Next, I tried the clam chowder soup and gagged...didn't eat it. I didn't order anything else. My daughter had hush puppies, sweet potato fries, and fried oysters. The hush puppies and sweet potato fries were awesome (so we feasted on them), but the fried oysters were just mediocre...she ate a few and trashed the rest. Maybe we chose the wrong items; most people seemed to have been locals, and their choice seems to have been the seafood boil. Despite the reviews, I won't be returning. read more

Stopped in with a group of 6- made a reservation and we had a nice set up with a long table. Very packed on a Friday night but the vibes were solid. Our server was incredible- super friendly and high energy. She accommodated me by creating a steamed bag of sides without dairy or seafood. The rest of the group had traditional items on the menu. Drinks were awesome. Highly recommend the blended Hennessy strawberry drink. Such a fun place if you're looking for traditional seafood and flavors. If you are meat free- let them know and they will help you out! read more

Perfect for happy hour! They have a food and drink menu from 3-7 that's nice and cheap. They have plenty of street parking. The prices for their boils are pretty expensive.

The service was never bad they was just so busy which I can understand. They add gratuity on all checks. read more

I would rate this establishment 5 stars for the food quality and presentation however, the attitude some of the waiters have is beyond irritating and disrespectful. It genuinely disrupts the experience. I have been here 2 times prior and the only time I got exceptional customer service was when I was seated at the bar. I would recommend just ordering pick up. read more

I am all for charging a mandatory 18% gratuity but with an establishment implementing this policy you would think they would have top tier servers. When we arrived we had a server by the name of Enrique who was very helpful and attentive but had to leave as his shift was cut short, he advised another server would be helping us out and not once did this young lady come and see if we needed anything at all, my husband had to go and find someone to ask the rest of our meal. Now as for the food here it definitely exceeded our expectations. The spice level was on point and the flavor and portion size was impeccable! The price was not too bad either. Only giving a bad review because of service not because of food, unless you get Enrique!! read more

The Happy hour is bomb, but the bartenders are quite interesting lol... we had to ask for items MULTIPLE times. That's the part that pissed me off the most. Our Bartender was Rio. I read reviews and there were good things said about him. He is a vibe, but he's not on his shit as he should be. We were here earlier this week too. We had a GREATTTT experience with Ryan. He's so sweet, funny, and attentive. But today we sat at the bar and the experience was totally different. It was a few customers at the bar running Rio down for things. Some ppl even moved closer to the front of the bar. My thing is he was working the WHOLE bar by himself. And we were further down by the "good vibes" plant wall. He was more attentive to the customers who were sitting at the front of the bar. There should definitely be two bartenders working the bar though. Cause he did a horrible job attending to everyone and he also seemed to be under the influence of SOMETHING. I know they take shots of liquor and I respect it. But know how to hold your shit down at least lol. Like literally as I'm typing this another customer right beside me got irritated, so he went to the front desk to inquire about a pen to sign his check . It took Rio more than ten minutes to bring our checks/cards back to us. If you come here definitely ask for Ryan for a better experience. read more

Came here during happy hour and it wasnt too busy which was lovely. I was hoping that it didn't mean it wasn't good but I am always up for a try. Ordered some drinks and two dishes off of the happy hour menu just to try. The service was so fast and the food was DELICIOUS! Ordered a few drinks and they all were great, the family boil, and two appetizers but I can't remember what they were..(promise they were great, I am just going blank...and should have taken pictures for proof)! The boils was perfect! No complaints at all. You can choose you seasoning, and I choose the mixture option and it was fabulous! Potatoes and corn came with it. The atmosphere was very relax, not too fancy but not a fast food vibe. They have a bar and family style dining booths. The music was varying in genre and loudness. It seemed depending on the song was how loud it would be. Overall it was a great experience and I will truly go back and enjoy a mini feast! read more

Love, love, love crab legs so I've been pressed to come here. I wanted no hassle and a minimal wait so I grabbed a friend and came for dinner a couple Sundays ago. We found parking directly in front and was immediately seated. Our server greeted us and helped answer our questions before ordering. We each got boils and they were quite reasonably priced. My friend got crab legs and scallops and I just got crab legs. We both tried the House Special Blend - one mild and one medium. The heat level were fine for both. The crab legs were a little over-cooked and I didn't care for the special blend. Could be wrong but it tasted like a lot of chili powder. Not bad just not my preference. It was also quite chilly inside. My friend kept on their jacket and a few other patrons did too. Maybe on a more crowded night it feels warmer. Since the customer service were amazing I'd be willing to try it again. read more

We ordered from this restaurant using Grubhub. Grubhub's service was great. The food was awful. My husband ordered the crabcake basket and substituted the fries for soup. We did not get the soup but got fries that had the look and taste of cardboard. The crab cakes were over cooked, greasy and tasteless. We love hushpuppies so got an order. Another tasteless item served with garlic butter. It did not help. They were hard, over cooked and had no flavor. I ordered the fried oyster basket with sweet potato fries. The oysters were the most tasteful item of the dinner. At this point we were excited about food that was average at best. The sweet potato fries were soft and soggy with grease. A giant disappointment after seeing they had one of the highest ratings of the seafood houses in Baltimore. Never again. read more
