The food is delicious at Colin's people come to Colin's there food is great. I come there all the time enjoy.

We went on Juneteenth in the afternoon. Half the seating area was closed and there was not a lot of people there. The host was on his A game with seating, phone calls, and pick-up orders while joking with guests waiting for a table. The cream of crab is unlike any I have had. It was very zesty without having too much bite. I had to stir the caesar salad to equalize the flavors and it was very slightly underwhelming. But I would prefer underwhelming to overwhelming and it worked well with the cajun flavorings of the grilled shrimp entree I ordered. The shrimp came with cocktail sauce and a lemon wedge. All together it was nice. The collard greens consisted of full leaves and was good but not the best I have had. However I cannot figure out what it was missing because I'm bad at cooking collards myself. My wife ordered a Colins burger with bacon and fries. They gave her a generous amount of bacon but it was just like a burger at any other restaurant. The fries are the kind that pair well with condiments like ketchup or mayonnaise. I would recommend this place, especially the cream of crab. I plan to go back and taste more of their menu. read more

Colin's is a great soul food restaurant locally. I've frequented this place on multiple occasions. The food is always flavorful and the staff is always nice. I've tried the fried chicken dinner, catfish, pasta, wings, salmon and I'm always satisfied. It's usually not crowded during the week, unless there's a sporting event. Sundays usually have a busy afternoon church crowd. read more

We selected Colin's for our small wedding reception. The staff was great and set up the private room, with a capacity of 25, as we requested. Their menu is fantastic and the selections were tasty and well-seasoned. A good time was had by all. We've also celebrated my Ma's birthday there. read more

A great place with a phenomenal staff that graciously accommodated our joyful reunion of 30 on a recent Saturday afternoon. Our waitress- just one - served us all readily- amidst our seat-hopping, hugging and gabbing group. Everyone enjoyed their choice off of the menu- my hamburger was outstanding. The place was busy with other customers and we are grateful for the space, service and food. read more

I haven't had food from here in a couple of years now. They used to be on my side of town but moved across town. My Husband had Dinner with his Siblings here and brought me back Food. I got their Fried Stuffed Crabmeat Shrimp, Collard Greens and Candied Yams and Bread Pudding for dessert. Everything was well seasoned and tasted delicious!! The food is well worth the visit. read more

I was in Bailtimore yesterday and I had to have seafood; so, I went to Colin's Seafood and Grill. I've been there before, and I was pleased. But, this time, I was disappointed. First, I sat in the bar area at the high top tables. I thought I'll get served faster, but not. This was a learning experience; I saw things that I should not have seen as a customer. When I was seated, I ordered sweet tea and water that came quickly. However, the tea was too sweet so I tried to get the server's attention to get another cup to mix in water; but I could not get her attention. (From what I observed, this is a hang out for regulars, and the waiters for the bar area, including the high tops, cater to the folks at the bar.). After about 15 minutes, I then flagged down another waiter. This waiter did not bring me a cup as I asked. After about 7 minutes, I observed her talking to my waiter; a few moments later, my waiter was asking me if I needed anything. I conveyed that I needed a cup, and I inquired about my food order that I had placed. When she returned with the cup she said it would be another 5 minutes for my food. It was another 15 minutes before I received my food. When I was ready for the check and a box to go, I just went to the bar and asked for it. I did not want to wait any longer than I had to. The waiter was fast and polite with this request. I ordered a fish plater that was good although the scallops were a bit too greasy. The collards, Mac and cheese were good as well. I noticed that other guests were served bread with their meals, but I was not. I observed people going in and out of the kitchen who did not appear to be working there. read more

True story Colin's use to be one of my favorite restaurants when it was located out Randallstown so being in the area yesterday I was more than excited to get to see what this Colin's was hitting for. I went around noon so they were just opening & it was completely empty. I didn't want to be the only one in there so I ordered takeout. I went with the shrimp salad sandwich & fries for $18. This was one of the best shrimp salad sandwiches I've ever had. Best part easily was it was full of shrimp until most places shrimps just falling everywhere every time I bite into it. The definition of a shrimp salad sandwich's. This assured that I'll be returning back for more of their opinions read more

This is my second experience with Colin's. The first was absolutely terrible. My carry out order as of yesterday was better, but left a lot to be desired. The turkey wings were phenomenal, the Mac and cheese and collard greens were not even close. I was looking for a soul food experience, maybe their excellence is more in the seafood arena. QUESTION: Are restaurants still using those plastic containers for carryout? read more

I love seafood & after seeing the menu, I ordered enough for dinner & lunch while working the next day. I ordered the seafood platter; the menu said fried or baked, but it alternative was probably broiled or steamed. I went with that. The platter had shrimp, crab cake, scallops, & fish. All were well seasoned, & that crab cake was everything! It came with 2 sides. I went with mac & cheese and yams. I also ordered crab dip with nachos & the creamy crab soup. Unfortunately, they didn't label either container. They looked similar & had similar consistency as the soup was thick and creamy, so it was hard to tell which was which. Both items did have plenty of crab meat. There were plenty of people seated inside at tables and at the bar. When I placed my to-go order, I was told it'd be ready in 25 mins. I came back inside after 30 mins. After waiting for at least 5 mins with no acknowledgment, I asked a lady sitting next to me if she'd been waiting a while. She said yes because they'd brought her order out but something was missing. After she left, I had to ask about my order. This is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5. There were plenty of employees walking around, & they'd look right in the direction of myself and a couple who'd walked in and were waiting to order. They never asked if we needed anything; we had to say something to them to get their attention. Probably would return when I'm in the area, but they wouldn't be my first choice if I was doing another take out order spending that kind of money. read more

Colin's Seafood & Grill has a huge potential to get a 4/5 rating. I attended a group celebration and dined in their private room. Food Rating: 3.0 group party same meal, 2 meats/2 sides. A substantial amount of food. Chicken a little over cooked, ribs, mac&cheese, cabbage good. Suggestion simmer down on the seasoning in the cabbage. Service: 4.0 our waiter did a good job servicing the party of 20, only suggestion work on facial expressions, a smile goes a long way. Ambiance: 3.0 the facility was experiencing AC issues. There were 2 standing fans on opposite sides blowing directly into the guests. The guest and staff should feel comfortable whether being serviced or serving. I hope the business is able to get it repaired. Cleanliness: suggestion be sure staff is attentive to cleaning every space, crack and corner of the restaurant including dusting the blinds and windows. read more

I was on this side of town and wanted lunch. Came here with my mother. We ordered crab dip for our appetizer. The crab dip was good, but it was very soupy. I think crab dip should be a little bit thicker than that. The garlic French bread that came with it twas very good. For our entrées, I ordered the Seafood Alfredo. It was good. The sauce wasn't too thick. It came with scallops, shrimp, and crab meat. With a side of the yummy garlic French bread. Yummy! Oh and I ordered a side of cabbage and macaroni and cheese. My other ordered the baked stuffed salmon. It was covered with a crab imperial sauce that kind of tasted like dijonnaise or honey mustard. It wasn't bad just not really what we expected. I've been here before a couple of years ago. And they finally laid off of the salt. My mother's side of greens were rather bland. I rather bland than a whole bunch of salt. Our waitress was great! And gave us great recommendations. read more

I've been to Colin's several times, but never tried the pasta. On other times that I've went, I've chosen catfish and macaroni and cheese and greens. I don't care for the string beans because they have onions in them. They give a family style restaurant approach with typical chairs and tables. I went on Father's Day and it was not packed at all. The food came out at a decent time and the waiter was very nice. Unfortunately, I did not take pictures of the menu, but on the next visit, I will be sure to upload some because the prices are amazing. The seafood pasta was very flavorful. I didn't get scallops so they gave me extra shrimp. I didn't care for the garlic bread that came with it but I absolutely loved the complimentary dinner rolls. read more

The collards had to much vinegar or something they didn't taste good. The scallops and tilapia had so much obay, and everything had to much salt. Th waitress was nice. Crabcake was filler. read more

Excellent staff. Great food. Cheerful environment. All are welcome warmly. Open every day except Tuesday.

Decided to come here for a birthday celebration dinner. From planning to execution they were very nice and helpful, they called multiple times to ensure our reservation due to the party size. No one had been here before so it was new for the entire party. The place was a vibe, the music was good, not too loud and at times you found yourself just singing and swaying. The food was delicious, I had a salad and that was clearly fresh, everyone loved the food and stated they would be back ! read more

One word Delicious! I'm in town visiting friends and family as well as my birthday, and my best friend of 30+ years invited me out to dinner. I got the ribs and shrimp dinner, and for my sides I got the greens and cabbage. I didn't care for the greens much, it was a spice or something they used i didn't care for. Our waitress offered something else so i got the yams. Omg amazing! My friend let me try her Mac and cheese and hands down the #1 thing I ate that night. It was really creamy, spiced perfectly, and hit the spot with each bite. Our waitress reminded me of what I miss living here. She made my day and night lol. Everyone there we met was amazing. I hope I get to visit before I leave next week. read more

I am so glad that I finally got to go here. This place is a gem. If you are looking for delicious sit down soul food restaurant with food like your grandma/mommy/auntie makes, GO HERE. The food is very well seasoned, portions are great, and prices are reasonable. My family went here for the first time tonight and we were pleasantly surprised. Literally EVERYTHING, down to the HOMEMADE ice tea was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back...on a regular basis! read more

Slow on a Saturday afternoon. Bar service appeared to be pretty fast. We were told 45 minute wait for someone to clear and clean a table. Then they said 30 minutes. We actually ended up sitting about an hour. Possibly more. Service seems to be passable but slow and unenthusiastic. Food came out in shifts even though we ordered at the same time . Overall I will return because it's black owned and food is good but depends on what you get. The crab nachos were bad and had no crab. read more

Typical soul food restaurant with very tasty food and decent portions. It's rare to find "steak" fish on restaurant menus but they have it here and it's always been good the 4 times I've gotten it. Plenty of free parking. Service can be a little slow at times, even when not busy but I recommend this place read more

I use to always go to the one on Liberty road so I knew I'd like the food. The service was great we were there for an 80th birthday party. They have a private room you can reserve not sure the costs . The woman that handled our room did an excellent job. The bathroom could use some attention. The toilet says push in the flush and use some strength which is funny considering their customer base seems much older. Please fix the dang toilet. I ordered baked stuff shrimp the crab stuffing and imperial sauce didn't do anything for me it was just ok and my cream of crab soup wasn't hot I feel like I had to rush it down before it got cold. My drink was delicious. I only took a star away for the bathroom ... read more

The food was seasoned perfectly. The lamb chops could have been cooked a little better, but they were tasty. The collard greens top 10 definitely should have them. The service was good. Our server really really looked out and made sure we had everything we needed.

Finally made my way here hanging out with the fellas on a Friday night. Not too crowded when we got there and was able to be seated easily bc which was a surprise because about 15 minutes after being there, there was a few big parties that had came in. So that was a good b thing. Lucky we got seated with no reservations. Service was fairly quick and the waiters didn't take too long with get our orders. I started out with the steamed muscles. A very sizable amount. I've been to a more upscale restaurant and I didn't get this amount of muscles there and they were way more expensive. Muscles at Colin's are very good after sitting in the garlic butter. My entree was the seafood Alfredo. The shrimp were not the tiny ones that I have seen with Alfredo before. These were regularly sized shrimp which I like. I would have liked a few more pieces of scallops and the crab meat was just enough on top. A few shells here and there but it didn't ruin the dish thank goodness. Overall a good first time here. There will be more visits to come. read more

Well I finally took hubby to dine here. Just had to see for myself if this place was worth the hype. The parking lot was packed but we did manage to squeeze into a spot on the side near the front. Once inside, we were greeted by two hostesses and we were asked how many were dining. We said two and were taken to the right side and immediately placed into a small booth like dining area. Our server was Alaura. We were asked about if we wanted to order drinks, which we asked for sweet iced tea. After browsing the menu, we decided on no appetizers. I decided to try the seafood platter and hubby picked the seafood Alfredo. My platter was okay with the exception that the crabcake was a bit mushy and had a lot of shells, and they did not spare on the expense of the old bay seasoning. The shrimp, scallops, amd the tilapia was cooked to perfection. The green beans were okay too. I asked for extra sour cream, but didn't get it, but the portion size was not enough to cover a med-large baked potato. Hubby said he liked his meal too and again had to pick out a lot of shells from the crab meat. I observed the other server in our vicinity and she was so attentive to her patrons, sad we did not feel we got the same from our server, but if we return, would definitely ask for that server. Had to ask for extra napkins, which took a minute to get, even had to wait over 5 minutes to receive the check when we asked for it when she last checked on us. In spite of the overall experience, I think we will we come back or just order the food to go. read more

Collins is always a must go to while I'm in Baltimore. The food is good, the service is good and the drinks are good. It's always busy, so try and get there early. We came here around noon and was seated immediately. The food came out hot and delicious and fresh. Our server checked on us multiple times, he was polite and on point. I love the great customer service i receive when i come here. This is my third time and each time it gets better and better. Next time, I'll try a new dish. We were heading out of town so i wanted something quick. I ordered the crab cake sandwich with fries and i added bacon. (They didn't have brunch here. So i wanted bacon and crab, bomb!) We also ordered the cheesy crab dip which didn't make pics because it was devoured immediately! It was soooo bomb! Omg! A side salad, along with fried stuffed shrimp (mini crab cakes) Mac and cheese and candied yams. All the food was perfect. Definitely go if you haven't been. See pics below. read more

I am from Orlando, Fl. I go to Colin's about once a week. I like the friendliness of the people. The seafood is really good and fresh. I substitute Flounder for the Tilapia. . Shrimps are fresh not frozen. The side salads are a meal in itself. The prices are very reasonable . Being from the south the collards greens are not cut up enough. Peach cobbler is not really cobbler because it is more like a cake . No loose peaches with juice . But this not the South so I cannot complain. The bread pudding is very good and the Turkey wings are good. Next time I will try the chicken or steak. I love eating there. Wish they had a brunch,I feel good being around nice people. Neighborhood ambiance , read more

I passed this place for a couple of years as I've always lived in the area and I never stopped in; The parking lot is so full and just didn't have the taste for seafood. Little did I know that they have some of the best southern cuisine ever! it's so much more than just a seafood and grill. It truly is a destination and the person who handled our service, Ivan was a spectacular server. I came through for my cousin Kevin's birthday and we had nothing to complain about and had nothing but fun; the food was delicious. The place wasn't overly decorated but adequate again. I really do believe you will enjoy. read more

Colin's Seafood and Grill - Dining at Colins - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Very disappointing experience. I came here with my fiance and we live in the area and wanted to try this spot for awhile. Exterior is nice but inside is hideous. Not sure who suggested to them to have beige yellow walls with navy blue and royal blue seats but the decor is distracting and hideous. The food was beyond disappointing. Flavorless, cold, and lacking in key ingredients. We had the crab nachos which had absolutely zero crab on them. The sauce that was present was runny and room temperature. I told my fiance that it was like soup without the crab. Which wasn't wrong...I also ordered the cream of crab which was cold when it came out. They sprinkled crab meat on top like parsley cuz there wasn't any crab meat in the soup besides what they sprinkled. It was bland too. I ordered the Mac and cheese which was also cold and greasy. I sent that back and asked for a new one. They heated Mac and cheese in the microwave because the dish was warmer than the food. The shrimp salad only looked good. Very little shrimp compared to the rest of the salad. Bland in seasoning. Just extremely disappointed in the experience. read more

I gave this restaurant 5 stars primarily because of their dedication to excellent customer service. Justin went out of his way to accommodate our party of 10 during the lunch rush. We were supposed to be in the party room but due to miscommunication this did not initially happen. He worked to get us the space we required to allow my family the time we needed after a difficult morning. Joshua assisted Justin as the restaurant became very busy during our visit. Both gentlemen worked hard to ensure we had everything we needed. Overall the food was probably 3.5 stars but the service was definitely 10 stars. The price was good for the level of service and food we recieved. No one in our party had any complaints. read more

Visited this place for the first time and I was underwhelmed to be honest.. The outside of the establishment doesn't carry onto the inside. It seems very empty and thrown together.. I wish I would've captured more photos for reference... It's giving cheap carry out vibes with the decor choices, in my opinion The Food: First, the crab balls were a hit! I recommend them! I believe all of the sauces are house-made and they were not as good, unfortunately. The tea was not great as well. Considering it was my first time eating here, I thought to play it safe with the food and order Fried Chicken. Unfortunately, this chicken was lacking flavor/seasoning and so was the greens. Overall, I probably wouldn't visit twice. read more

Delicious!!! Great food and service. I will definitely visit again. The crab cakes and shrimp and grits was the best!

Still 5 stars, just updating my review because I tried other menu items... The shrimp salad sandwich, yams, sweet tea and chicken sandwich were so delicious. The mac and cheese was good too. The cream of crab was not my favorite because it has a rich cheesy taste to it and not the traditional MD taste I was hoping for, but it is not nasty... I had to add mashed potatoes to the soup to soak up some of that cheesy flavor and then I was able to finish it all. read more
