The fried shrimp was good but steamed was extra succulent. I actually enjoyed the rice pilaf that accompanies the platter

I give 1 star because the food is not bad when they get the order correct. They cut up the fish in small portions to make it look as though you have a large quantity. Such food trickery!! It makes the fish too crunchy and hard when fried. When you request not to cut it up, they tell you that's how it's cooked. In other words, take it or not! I think they have new owners? The attitude and unfriendliness of the workers was never like that? I've patronized Cameron's Seafood Central Ave for years. My family will no longer buy from this restaurant. The quality has definitely gone down? Why is that? ...And of course the prices have gone WAY UP!!! read more

I only wanted to get some Lobster Bisque for the lady. It was bland. Glad It wasn't for me. I got a fried platter. It was just ok. In my opinion, there is a lack of seasoning. The place was clean and the staff was friendly. The cake I had was sub par. I didn't eat it all. I did enjoy the hushpuppies. I will try them again soon just to make sure I don't have a broken palette LOL read more

See all

I am always wary of going to seafood places. Cleanliness is one issue, but another is seasoning. Seafood is very hit or miss for me when it comes to flavor. I went in not knowing what I was getting myself into because it was my bf's recommendation. It was very white inside. White floor, white wall, and white plastic chairs and a table in case anyone wanted to eat there. There were lots of chairs for people awaiting their order. It smelled very good inside so I was reassured. The smell of the seafood seasoning filled the air and it was making my mouth water. I got the seasoned shrimp platter and he got a fish platter. They do carry-out so we took it back to the house. I was so excited to try it, my mouth still watering from the smell. The moment that shrimp touched my mouth, all the excitement left me. All the aroma did not translate into flavor. All I could taste was red pepper and nothing else. Even the shrimp itself lacked flavor. I tried the fish, and though it was slightly better tasting than the shrimp, it still lacked flavor from seasonings. Basically, the food was covered with magical seasoning that had an amazing aroma but no taste! I do not think I will be returning. read more

This was the worst Cameron's I've ever been to. The service is horrible! The crabs where over cooked and the fish was fried hard as a rock. It's been a while since I've ordered seafood from here. I will not be returning again. Totally disappointed!! read more

I have been getting my crabs from this location for a long time, but today was by far my worse experience the crabs where empty, some was black once cracked open, and very mushy to the point that they were in edible. Please think twice before paying for those crabs. read more

Quick service and great tasting food. I got the ultimate seafood platter prepared broiled and it was great. It really satisfied my desire for seafood without going to a sit down restaurant and the food was so good, I didn't even need condiments. Now that's rare! I will definitely be back! read more

Just ordered a jumbo lump crabcake......what a disappointment......too much filler....no lump meat but rather it was an indistinguishably boring "crab mix".....which was a poor path to take....I ordered broiled and they sent fried....who does that?..... The hush puppies were well made.....cole slaw tasted like a supermarket brand.....nothing fresh about it. I will never ever ever ever return for a crab cake.....simply a waste of money and time. The best thig was the bun. Horrid experience read more

Got baby crabs and spent like $75 for supposed large dozen. Next time I'm going elsewhere, severely disappointed. Cameron's used to be the spot when I was growing up, sorry to see they fell off. read more

We've ordered from Cameron's twice and enjoyed fish platters both times. Have had the fried platter and broiled which isn't bad. Broiled fish was a little dry however. Fried Whiting, shrimp, scallops were good. Surprisingly their mixed veggies are quite flavorful. Crabcakes wasn't bad either. Cameron's is a little pricey, I think. Would recommend and order again read more

Buyer beware! If you are looking for fresh steamed crabs, DON'T GO HERE! I purchased a bushel of crabs on 8/15 and they looked like they took the babies from the mommy. I purchased male/female mixture and the female was really really small and did not have any meat in them. Obviously they don't care about their customers because if they did they would not have sold me the baby crabs read more

Normally Cameron's deserve a 5 star for the food but I swear this location has the worst customer service yet! Please especially during these times staff must look like they have taken a bath first (so called manager on duty on 8/7/2020 at 5pm). Also TRAINING please train your staff how to talk to the public. Train customer service 101!!!! Never going back to this location and the place needs to be renovated too. It's rubbed down clearly because it' looks the same as it did 10 years ago. read more

Love this place! I always come here on the weekends to get my $17 platter (comes with fish, shrimp, scallops, fries, AND a crab cake)! Can't beat that! read more

For the price and location Camron's seafood is decent. I wouldn't come here promising someone the worlds best crab cake but it's better than the crab cake you can get in the frozen section at your local grocery store and it's better than the crab cake most people make in there house....now as far as everything else is concerned most people can make better fish and shrimp so save your money in that regard. The soup is certainly a nice touch but make sure you avoid getting the last little bit of anything or you will certainly be disappointed. If your looking for something quick and consistent try Camron's. If it's a take out night then try Camron's, but most importantly if you live close....you just have to support the decent local business. read more

New mgmt is terrible for starters ... I ordered platters that cost us $50 we asked for substitutions on both orders and they were completely wrong when we recieved but our ticket was correct they also have traded the crab cake for burnt crab balls and didn't tell us. When I called to recitfy the problem he argued with me and then said next time his give me what he owed.... SIRRR R U CRAZY u didn't even ask me for my name number or if u wud come back. WELLLL WE WONT BE .... read more

This isn't Cameron's I know this stuff is garbage I sell whiting myself so today I was lazy and wanted to treat myself so I call myself going with a place I knew they get ZERO'S across the board for this place a waste of money period threw that garbage away on 214 read more

Not a bad place to buy some seafood on a night when you are too lazy to cook, too antsy to sit down somewhere, and just the thought of typical fast food weighs you down. The broiled crab cake was not bad at all. It was well seasoned and there wasn't a terrible amount of filler. The pieces do not seem hand picked. It was nowhere near as chunky as I'm used to from other seafood spots. The hush-puppies were also seasoned well and better than, say, Captain D's but something was missing. That's too bad because I've been craving some well made hush-puppies and this would have quelled the voices coming from my stomach asking for golden delicious balls of fried cornbread. The vegetables are steamed and all of those vitamins and minerals just have to cancel out the negative nutritional value of the hush-puppies. Right? This Cameron's hovers somewhere around 2.75 stars. They do things like let you sub out any part of the side dishes in the platter with no hassle, are really quick, and have good customer service but the food lacks something. It just seems like things could be a little fresher. It feels more like your local carryout than an authentic seafood joint. read more

Me and my best friend decided to have a ladies night out and get a dozen of crabs from here. The reviews are true. The crabs were very skinny and rotten inside, some had to be tossed to the side. Don't patronize a place where you and your family can get food poison from their unsanitary habits, such as selling rotten crabs. read more

On my way to win every round of spades and disappoint my trash taking opponents, I was hit with a FB message: BYOF. SMH. No wings, chips or nothing chile. Not even leftovers (yes Im known to rummage your refrigerator and deep freezer). So in the middle of, "Is a hurricane coming?" and my "Make sure you play to win" pep talk to my partner, she suggested that we go to Cameron's to pick up dinner. When I walk inside Cameron's, I immediately see 3-4 different menu screens and about 3 people ahead of us. My friend knows what she wants, I on the other hand, have never been to this establishment and need time to think about my options. My first choice, oysters, fried. I ask the guy behind the counter does the meal come with a whole jar or are they halved (Im not new to this, Im true to this). He says, "Half a jar," and thats when I become uninterested. For $10, I can by a jar at the grocery store and fry them up myself, I digress. I opted for the whiting sammy, which was huge, but not as big as Horace and Dickie's, with a double side of fries (in my mind, the basic stuff has to be good before I order more deliberately cooked entrees). My friend ordered the tilapia sammy with fries and a side of steamed shrimp. The fish was seasoned lightly. I would have liked it seasoned a bit heavier, it is FRIED fish (I just made a stank face). I think they may have washed the fish in an egg wash before dipping it in a cornmeal and flour mixture. The cornmeal to flour ratio was perfect, but because it didn't have enough seasoning, I had to to compensate with condiments. The fries were over cooked and under seasoned. For future reference, Cameron's, I like fresh, thick sliced potatoes and seasoning salt sprinkled on after they're fried. Thanks. I enjoyed the sammy though...until I almost choked off a pack of bones that were forgotten in the filleting process, I almost died. Do better Cameron's. For now, Cameron's receives a 3.0. Ill be back though, next time to try the lobster bisque and something steamed. read more

**Let me start you off with a little appetizer before I go right into it so you can decide if this review is worth your time. First, I come here primarily for lunch. Cameron's is hardly ever my dinner--just a quick little lunch. Second, I order the SAME THING every time I go there. A CATFISH SANDWICH! Now that that's done, here's your salad! I am a fan of the Cameron's franchise, in general. It is quick and easy seafood, without the frills, thrills, and price tags of seafood at fancy restaurants. This is NOT the place you come for ambiance but it beats the hell out of McDonalds, Wendys, or Checkers. It gets 5 stars for serving its fast food purpose and serving it well. Okay. Now finally on to the Entree. Why 5 stars? (1) Out of all the Cameron's, this is one of the few (or the ONLY) with actual in restaurant seating (2) The Halfs and Halfs are bomb each time (3) The hushpuppies (4) The portion sizes. My catfish sandwiches usually come with like 3 pieces of catfish on them. It's almost a better deal than ordering a platter. (5) The quick service never fails. They get me in and they get me out so I can sink my mouth into a big juicy pile of delectable catfish. YUM! (6) Oh, and not to mention the catfish is fried PERFECTLY, every time (7) Over all bang for my buck! So if you're in the mood for a catfish sandwich done right, get to your local Cameron's. read more

I came here since I was in the mood for Blue Crabs. I ordered 1/2 dozen females and they assumed I wanted them steamed, which I guess most people get. After a quick dash of Old Bay on the top of the order I paid and went home. I opened up the brown paper bag to find lots of legs and claws and six of the smallest blue crabs I have seen. I'm not been picky but I really think they were extra small, which I would think that they would've added a couple to make up for the small size. It would've been even better to maybe even mix the sizes up or given a discount on the price. Walking it it says a dozen females are $25 trust and believe I was charged $12.50. I might try them again when the season up here starts to see if there is a difference but I can only anticipate that the prices are going to be sky high. read more

Okay, Yelp removed my last post about the poor service. I am posting again because it is important and warranted. The service from one particular employee there needs to be addressed by management. I am hoping management monitors their reviews here and addresses this with the one employee who ruins the atmosphere for an otherwise good food experience. She is rude. read more

If I could give them 0 stars, I would. This place has changed dramatically. The seafood lacks flavor and is greasy. Dont waste your money, please go elsewhere for better tasting seafood. read more

Best seafood so far to me. I ordered the whitening fish combo with an order of fried shrimp it was so good. Seasoned and cooked perfectly the fried was a little soggy and cloeslaw was runny. But the service was great and nice staff working there. Will be back differently read more

I wanted something similar to a Po Boy with oysters. I was so disappointed when i got home and opened my $17 box of limp and soggy fried oyster sandwich, even more so when i took a bite. The only thing good about this sub was the bread which had nice grill marks. I-asked for remoulade and the poor guy at the counter didn't know what i meant at first and then when i pointed to it he said it was $3. I know the cooks were probably tired it was almost closing time. But you have to cook for the first customer of the day the same as you do for the last. I will never order anything but fresh oysters from Cameron's in the future and come home and cook them myself. By the way I'm an Executive Chef. You never know who your customer is. I want my $17 back! read more

Totally loved this place. I love the mom and pop feel. Food was delicious! It is a bit pricey, but it was worth it. I ordered the salmon platter and they actually gave me a big slice of salmon. I will go here again. read more

It's sad when an employee causes the name for a business to be damaged. I made a call in order. It was over $100. I called back to add one pound of crab legs. The rude employee told me I had to order 3 pounds or I had to add it to my order when I picked it up. I wasn't sure he understood me so I repeated my ticket number and he said, I know who I am talking to. I just took your order. I asked him why can't I add one pound of crab legs. He said he was not going to change the procedures for me. I said are you saying I have to come in and place a separate order for one pound of crab legs. He said yes. I asked him how long will take. He said 7 minutes. I said are you telling me to wait for 15 minutes for my first order, stand in line and wait another 7 minutes for the crab legs. He said yeah. I said ok. I made the order at 3:00 p.m and was there at 3:15 to pick up my order. I went to the pickup counter to see of my food was ready and the female cashier said no. I waited ten more minutes and asked another cashier if my food was ready and he said no, the order isn't ready again. 10 minutes pass. I asked if my order ready again. The young lady asked me for my number. She didn't see it. She asked the two gentlemen did they take my over-the-phone order. I said it was the mean man who told me that I couldn't add 1 pound of crabs. All hell broke loose. He started cussing at me and accusing me of being nasty. And told the cashier to cancel my order after I waited for 45 minutes. The cashier retook my order and gave me my food. Needless to say, I told him I going to contact the owner and report him and he went ballistic and said he worked in Annapolis, and this is his part-time job and he doesn't need this shit. The customers in the store were shocked and asked to speak to the manager. A few walked out. Unacceptable. Dear owner, please Don't let unruly employees ruin your business. The food was good. read more

Since Cameron's serves fast-food seafood, it's only fair I rate them accordingly. I ordered the ultimate fish platter, which included broiled fish, shrimp, oysters, veggies, and rice. A couple more food items were included but I don't remember what they were. The food was above average and the price matched its quality. Portion sizes are moderate. Your stomach will thank you. i recommend. read more

I have been to camerons before but ive always got the same thing this time i decided to try something different so i strayed away from the fried aspect of the food and try the broiled portion this time and it was worth the switch the salmon was cooked okay only because they didnt season and it was just cooked okay like i said the rice was perfect the veggies were cooked good but seasoning and the bread was soft and delishhhhh!!!!!!!!! read more

Not happy with my fried shrimp platter. The fries were decent however the shrimp are overly breaded "little" shrimp. The shrimp were butterflied giving the appearance that they were big, but they weren't it was all breading. The shrimp were likely a frozen breaded product purchased for restaurants. Definitely not fresh shrimp. The fries were decent and mixed veggies were fair. read more

Me and my wife decided on seafood last night was one of the worst food quality we have experienced here how can you go up on prices on menu and go down on quality food taste bland no flavor to fish and the fried shrimp was worst ever spent 16.99 for 2 seafood platters ...well i wasted $36.02 for a meal that wasnt worth the price will not recommend and will not be returning read more

Hosted a small family dinner and ordered Crab cakes from Cameron's. They were out of this world! Super easy to prepare and turned out fantastic! I will definitely be ordering again! read more

Avoid this place at all cost. They sell old crabs. Their crab cakes are always undercooked. The employees are rude when you try to get your order corrected. I tried them twice. Same gross crabs, same rude service. I once ordered a half dozen male crabs from a food delivery service, and they sent 4 small female crabs. Not only were they not male, they were short 2 while crabs! I called to tell them my order was incorrect, and i was headed there to get money back or for them to correct the order. I was granted a full refund through the food delivery company after sending photos. However, they shouldn't be responsible for giving refunds for the restaurants scamming and lazy ways. AVOID this place! read more

Every other person, employees and customers alike had their masks below their noses. The employee taking my order refused to let me order any of the fillets of fish other than the three types they had for platter specials. The fish itself was ok but the covid situation was disgusting and it was weird that I wasn't given access to the other fish in the case. Won't return. read more

Their seafood is not all that.. I've had better from other seafood carryouts. I bought steamed crabs from here. They were obviously not fresh since they had a strong ammonia smell, and most were air crabs meaning there was barely any meat inside. Which I'm sure they notice how light the crabs feel when putting them in a bag to be sold, but sell them anyway. I called the manager to complain. He suggested a get the female crabs instead of male because they were fresher. I told him I do not like female crabs, I prefer male, and if I spend my money on buying them, which they are not cheap, I expect them to be fresh and actually have meat inside. He said he would replace them. I could not come back that day, but I went back another day for my replacement crabs. They were not as foul smelling, but were again lightweight air crabs. I decided not to purchase crabs from them again. The crabmeat stuffed shrimp platter was my favorite thing to get from Cameron's. I thought it was kind of overpriced (15.99) because other seafood markets sell it cheaper, but I knew the crabmeat was good, and not that cheap nasty mostly bread filler crabmeat so I would only go to camerons. I don't like the sides it comes with, because the mixed vegetables are bland and crunchy (I like my vegetables cooked more), and it comes with ALOT of rice with greenbeans and carrots mixed into it. It's just eh. Anyway, I called in a order of the stuffed shrimp platter, and to my surprise when I get there, the total was over $20. When I asked about it the cashier said the price went up to $18.99!! Plus tax it was over $20. I was pissed because honestly the 6 stuffed shrimp and below average sides are not worth that much. I could have gotten better value for that price at a sit down restaurant with better quality food, not a hole in the wall carryout. I went ahead and paid because I had already driven to pick it up, but they are ridiculously overpriced at this point, and the food nor decor isn't that awesome For the prices they charge. I won't be going back. read more

Okay okay okayyyyyyyy. Y'all want a good deal on GOOD crabs? Come here! Male #1s are on point. They can steam them for you but we usually take them home and steam them ourselves. Great customer service too. read more

OK... I said let me read the reviews before I call today. I've called several times and apparently, they have not updated the website and the time now is 751. It says that they close at 9 o'clock today??? If this is not true, I am so glad that I did not come all the way from a distance just to find out that they are closed. This is very unprofessional and apparently I was not supposed to come here after all!!! SMH everything happens for a reason... I will be patronizing another seafood restaurant that is professional And the food taste better! read more

I will never ever return to this establishment! matter fact Cameron's can never get another dime from me and I'll make sure my friends and family follow suit. Customer service is terrible ! If the fat man who answers the phone can't answer you question he gets rude and hangs up you go inside you aren't greeted you're yelled at at given two choices "order or leave" I have never this place need new employees and management which the told me wasn't available to complain too ! Last Cameron's food was sour and soggy and they told me to bring it back and pretended they didn't just speak with me over the phone with a receipt in my hand read more

I've ordered twice from this location through Uber eats. I must say my last order will be my last. The first time I ordered, I ordered the dozen crabs which were a mix of males and females for $30 (we got mainly females). I thought it was a pretty good deal. When they arrived and we got down to eating out of the dozen 6 were good and the other 6 were bad like in not fresh at all, mushy with no meat at all. We figured ok we must have gotten just a bad batch. The second time we ordered we again ordered the dozen crabs (female and male mix however we got mainly females) with a half pound of spiced steamed shrimp. This second go around with this location was horrible. The steam shrimp were super cold not even warmed and lacked seasoning and the crabs out of the 12 only 4 were decent. The bad crabs had a foul fishy smell which is a tell all sign that they are not fresh. Again they were mushy with barely any meat in them and looked rotten. This was a big waste of money because we had to throw them out. You could easily get food poison from this. It's like they put the bad crabs at the bottom of the bag and the good ones at the top. It was the same way with our last order. WE WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THIS PLACE AGAIN. BEWARE IF YOU ORDER CRABS FROM THIS LOCATION. read more
