    Crabs
    Raycal B.

    I tried them out today becaue of a Tik Tok I saw and I am glad that I did. Crabs were meaty, tasty and they were for a great price. I HIGHLY recommend them.

    I really didn't want to post because I want to keep this place all to myself, but that would be greedy. Awesome customer service, and fantastic quality crabs. size was exactly as promised (we got extra large) and we promptly got a phone call at exactly the time we had ordered them for letting us know they were ready. Corn was incredible as well as was the shrimp. They have great deals if you're buying a lot. Five stars!

    Dozen XL crabs.

    We have been wanting to try out the crabs at this place all summer! We finally did, the weekend after Labor Day. We called ahead and placed our order for a dozen XL crabs. We arrived earlier than our pick up time, but the crabs were ready right at the time we had asked for! The crabs we received were hot and heavy! The seasoning was perfect. We were also very pleased with the size. I feel like this place properly sorts their crabs and we got what we paid for.

    Was browsing Yelp for its suggestions in getting steamed crabs near in Elkridge and found this place. Albeit only 8 reviews thus far, all said such positive things that I wanted to try it. My husband put in a very long day serving other fathers and families this Father's Day weekend so wanted to give him a treat. Maryland blue crabs are his favorite! Unfortunately, by the time I got to the food truck, they were out of all females and extra and jumbo size males. So I went for a couple of large males & their special 3 lbs of steamed shrimp. (Because they said they were out of the extra large - this is important!) There was a line so had to wait awhile, but the service was friendly and there was a nice cool breeze. I was so excited to have my first crabs for this season! While waiting, these 2 guys come along and order a dozen of extra large makes & they get them! When they called my name to get my order, I had to express my dismay... So sad that they would discriminate... for whatever the reason...

    Medium crabs, heavy, full of sweet meat.

    Called last minute on Fathers Day. Ordered 1dz Mediums and picked them up in 30 minutes. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Crabs were meaty & delish! Will be back!

    Just a sample...

Yesterday, I specifically ordered female crabs, but when I got home, I discovered that I had been given male crabs instead. To make matters worse, the crabs were mushy and tasted spoiled. They were not edible, so I threw them away because I wasn't going to let bad seafood sit in my trash and stink up my home. When I called this morning to explain what happened, instead of listening and trying to resolve the issue, the employee I spoke with became argumentative and dismissive. This isn't the first time I've experienced his attitude. He is consistently rude, unprofessional, and seems more interested in arguing with customers than providing good customer service. I've purchased crabs from Hard Shell many times over the years and have never had a bad batch until now. This experience was extremely disappointing, not only because I wasted my money but also because of the way I was treated when I called to report the problem. I hope you will address both the quality of the seafood and the customer service being provided. Loyal customers deserve to be treated with respect, and I believe your business would benefit from having employees who are friendly, professional, and focused on resolving customer concerns instead of creating conflict. I would appreciate hearing from you regarding how you plan to address this situation.

    One of the best meals we had in Baltimore…read more We ordered the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, the Maryland Crab Soup, and the Seafood Hot Combo. The crab cake absolutely lived up to its reputation--packed with large, sweet pieces of crab meat and very little filler. It was fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly light. I finally understood why Maryland is so proud of its crab cakes. The Maryland Crab Soup was hearty and comforting, with plenty of vegetables and crab flavor. The Seafood Combo was generous and perfect for sharing after a long day of exploring the city. The restaurant was busy but well organized, and the staff were friendly and efficient. The atmosphere felt lively without being overwhelming. After lunch, we took a short walk to Fells Point and spent the afternoon exploring the neighborhood, which made it a perfect Baltimore experience. If you're visiting Baltimore for the first time and want to try an authentic Maryland crab cake, this is definitely a place worth visiting.

    Solid place to have a nice dinner!…read more Came for a celebration and we left very satisfied. Must have: the seafood (obviously) was very good. Shrimp, crab, lobster, mussels, all was fresh! The calamari was amazing (especially with the chipotle sauce). Skip: the chicken fingers were mostly bread, not much chicken. We got it for my child, but he didn't eat it. Pros: rustic ambiance, great service, food came out pretty quickly Cons: furniture could use an update (we had a broken chair and almost fell), lunch portion seafood could use a bit more seafood. Overall, great experience and would definitely return.

My family decided to dine in at Timbuktu Restaurant to celebrate my wife's graduation with her masters. From the first interaction I should have known what we signed up for. They are taking reservations on a pencil and clipboard. Everything other than that started off very good. The waiter approached the table took everyone's drinks and appetizers order in a timely matter. The appetizers took a little longer than usual but it doesn't equate to how long our dinner entrees took to come out. Entrees took 40+ MINUTES to come OUT. Within those 40 minutes our server never touched the table and people glasses of water remained empty until my mother in law had to get the waiter's attention by calling him over. I understand it can get busy or kitchen might be backed up but never got any reassurance it was coming anytime soon or a slight apology for the long wait. This is only the first half. The biggest thing that made me decide to write this review is the unapologetic manager named Josef. He never once empathized during the whole experience. He actually turned straight to making excuses and going back and forth with my father in law until I stepped in the reinforce the interaction. He looked to blame the kitchen being backed up due to parties. We walked in right after another tables that got sat next to us. They recieved their apps, entrees and was able to pack up the rest of their food and pay out before we even recieved our entrees. Josef's then attempted to compare what that table ordered with what we had explaining they only had apps which was untrue because I witnessed the whole service. I'm a experienced food and beverage manager and have been in the industry for 14+ years, I have never came across such an incompetent manager before. He needs to relearn how to deal with conflict resolution. Maybe start by empathizing and appolgizing for the inconvenience rather than start comparing and blaming others. After 3 separate people in my party voiced their concerns, he continued to never take any ownership but then offered two dessert as compensation which was more of a smack in the face. We just wanted some accountability and some consideration which we never received. We will never attempt to come here again.

I've been giving out a lot of 5 stars recently, but this is a place that really deserves it. It's a must visit. It'd been many moons since I had escargot, so I got it. Despite one cooked snail being basically impossible to scrape out and my fine motor dexterity isn't great, it was delightful. My wife loved her seafood stew. Our shared side of the grilled Zucchini (definitely enough to share) was also a highlight. We've been raving about our fried clam sandwich and lobster roll since. Both were amazing; my wife said it was the best lobster roll she's had (we've never been to maine or anywhere known for lobster). The dessert passion fruit pie was a great way to end, also shared, but the crust was a little too thick and the dollop on top did kind of over power the curd. The birthday sprinkles (it wasnt either of our birthdays) were cute. We will be back. Especially to try the raw bar (We're pregnant and didnt want to risk it).
