Because of the food and service. Delli's deserves 5 stars. Lunch was the French Dip Au Jus. It was tender, flavorful, and the au just was awesome. It is plainly posted: 18% gratitude on all checks. That was an ok for when you get your check. What has me upset is the 18% gratuity is applied to include the sales tax. I tip based on service and food. Why am I being gouged to tip on the tax when that has nothing to do with the efforts of our server and the kitchen? Do the math! This business has just lost a customer and I plan to share this ridiculous tip tax gouging practice with as many people that I can reach out to. So the server gets to pay tax on the earned income and we are paying more because read more

I've been here a feed times before but I haven't lately until today. Very chill atmosphere and friendly service. I got the 1lb of steamed shrimp and it was delicious. I've also had their wings and mussels here before and they are fantastic as well. Great bar. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in that side of town! read more

Dellis' Restaurant Bar & Grill - 1lb Steamed Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Rosedale, Maryland

Dellis' Restaurant Bar & Grill has closed permanently as 12:31/2025. It was a great when it was opened. Ate there several times

I stop by with friends to have a drink and a bite to eat. It definitely has a neighborhood staple type of vibe. The servers are welcoming and friendly. The menu prices are very reasonable. I ordered a lemon drop and stuffed shrimp with broccoli and a loaded baked potato. The drink was good. The stuffed shrimp was just okay. It lacked flavor. The broccoli should have been cooked a little longer and the baked potato was fine. My friends ordered the fried shrimp dinner and the grilled pork chop dinner. We all had the same sides. They were content with their food. read more

It's been a long time since I've been able to go to Dellis restaurant. I was invited there by my niece to meet with her friends. She currently lives in another state. I was very happy to finally come back to Baltimore and to go to Dellis and get her favorite meal. Search for years since I've been there since my husband passed away six years ago that was our favorite place from Saturday night. But I remember the great food they had. HAD?? But not anymore. I ordered a crabcake and every bite that I ate was full of shells and the flavors are from what I remember and I couldn't finish eating it. It made me sick on my stomach. So I took half of it home my sister tasted it. She says what happened. I said I don't know. Must have new recipe and a new cook. I could understand why the restaurant part was empty. However, I won't be returning because I was very very disappointed. read more

Portions are plentiful. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Food has a bit more salt than we are used to but still very tasty. Ambiance is welcoming with the center bar home to friends and locals. Seating around perimeter. Plenty of parking g in the back. Recommended. read more

First off I would like to address all the reviews complaining about a tip automatically being added in to the bill. Please see the attached picture. You have to be an idiot if you don't see it posted on the menu, also posted on the wall and door when you walk-in. The food was good, typical bar food but that is what I would expect when it's called Dellis BAR & Grill. We had onion rings for an appetizer that came out hot. We also ordered a shrimp salad sandwich that I asked to be put into a wrap, which they had no issue doing. My husband ordered Hot Turkey and gravy with French fries and Cole slaw. Everything was hot and good. Service was attentive and good. Nice evening! read more

I was really disappointed with our service this past weekend. Came in for dinner, we overall had a terrible experience. The music was too loud and had to shout to talk at our table. We weren't given and water or utensils. We asked for a medium rare and the steak was well done. I told the server and she brought back another one that was raw. We had to ask multiple times to get a refill on our drinks. We typically come in for wings but after the last visit, not sure if we will return. read more

This was a horrible experience from the food to the drinks.Customer service was horrible.I was attempting to place "0"rating but could not!!! I ordered a crab cake with 2 sides.The crab cake was suppose to be grilled but was served overcooked lacking flavor.I also ordered a Long Island Ice tea which was prepared by the bartender/manager.It was very strong and distasteful.I immediately sent it back to the bartender/manager after one sip.I requested it be removed from my bill and the bartender/manager stated she could not remove it because all of the liquor added was "top shelf ".She did not offer to replace it.After our long discussion she finally decided to remove it from my bill stating "next time don't order it."Does she really think there will be a next time.My advice to anyone thinking about going here to spend your hard earned money....DON'T!!! read more

We loved our server. She was efficient and very friendly. The food was reasonably priced and very good. The atmosphere was comfortable. I will definitely return to Dellis! read more

We got the Dellis sampler appetizer today and it was great. We were happy to be given the option to substitute something as you get 4 wings 4 mozzarella sticks (which were exceptional) 2 nice chicken tenders and 2 potato skins... fries were crispy. Extra points for giving old bay with food! Atmosphere 9/10 Bartender 9/10 read more

So my girls have come here a few times and have raved about the wings. I wanted some casual food so after debating about where to go decided to try it out. We were seated right away. Its super casual. An old school bar and restaurant. Our waitress was very attentive and had helpful suggestions.! I ordered hot buffalo wings , stuffed shrimp for my entree which came with 2 sides. I chose a side salad and French fries. We did wait quite awhile for our main courses to arrive but it was ok because we had apps. If i has not had appetizers and it had taken so long that probably would have made me a bit upset. Around 9, they started playing music which was nice. The strawberry crush- 2 stars... this is the 2nd time I've had a crush and it really was like juice.. hardly any alcohol. I don't think it was worth the 7 charge. Buffalo wings- delish! They were the best part of the meal. I ordered the hot wings and they were very hot! For about 10 you receive an order of about 10. I could only eat 5 (can someone say leftovers?? Score ). The sauce was good. Wings were fried hard but also not too dry. Hard combo. Also the blue cheese was good. Nothing like having wings and bad blue cheese. I would come back just for the wings 4/4.5 stars Fries- great! Double fried. Crispy. 2nd favorite thing 4 stars. Salad-'was nice and fresh Stuffed shrimp- not the worst but not my favorite.. there is an imperial sauce on top which i did not like. The flavor was off. There were lumps of crabmeat but the flavor of the crab filling was just not very great. I'd give them a 2/3 star?? All in all.. i will definitely return for wings and fries and drinks. read more

I am not a Maryland native, but I've been here for about half a decade. I have had my fair share of crab cakes and have to say that Dellis' is what I was looking for when asking natives where the best crab cake is. Is this the absolute best? Well, it's damn close. This was easily One of the biggest as well as meatiest. And no measly claw meat scraps, but colossal chunks with minimal (albeit tasty) filling. You get to choose if it's broiled or fried. You don't have to deal with shitty traffic, parking, or people of Baltimore/Annapolis. This place has its own parking lot and it's own bar. Sure, the restaurant looks divey. Sure, the decor isn't the greatest. But I got a crab cake sandwich and slice of Smith Island cake that both didn't disappoint. Not sure how the rest of the menu is, but from the other reviews it's clear that crab cakes are what this restaurant does right. The coleslaw is probably the only thing I'd complain about (too much white pepper) because even the tomatoes were the most red I've seen since I lived in Europe. So, I will do this place justice and when people talk about the best crab cake, I will recommend this place because who loves paying an arm and a leg while having to deal with Baltimore proper?! Bonus: across the street is an authentic German meat market where I stocked up on goods I haven't seen anywhere else in Maryland! P.S. I ordered takeout so I can't talk about the service as much. But who cares if you get a top tier crab cake that's for once not a pain to get? read more

It's a great neighborhood place in Rosedale. Great food, great service . In addition it's close to our home. That makes it a plus. We've always have felt welcome at Delli'sresataurant read more

Ummm the crab legs were delicious. The grapefruit crush was good. Tasted like juice and could have been for all I know. I just wanted something sweet. Everything else was average at best. With the four star rating I was expecting a bit much but it was a bit underwhelming. Just your average local bar and grill where people come to get drinks, chill and watch the game. read more

EVERYTHING here is bomb!!!!! Expect to wait at times but the drinks and food are ALWAYS ON POINT!!! my go to!

I had their crab cakes. Couldn't eat both at once, so had a second meal. A little pricey, but crab cakes tend to be anyway and these were worth it. Service at the bar was perfunctory and ambiance was better than the exterior would have you expect . read more

Very disappointed in the management of your tip added to your check, without even told. There were only two of us, and we made reservations. When the check came, there was a place to add a tip, but the tip was already added to the amount, at 18%. So, she was given more money than I have ever given to any server. We should have been told tip was already added, even if it was just the two of us. Bad business, in my estimation. read more

Ordered the crabcake entree with the rosemary potatoes and onion rings. The crab cake were large but tasted awful. The crabcake was over broiled and All I could taste was Mustard which left an extremely bitter taste in my mouth. No amount of lemon or butter saved the taste. The onion rings were excellent and the most memorable part of the dinner. Very dissapointed in these especially as its a MD specialty. I had bigger lumps of crab meat in other places not in MD. Very dissapointed. This plave doesn't do the state justice. read more

One of our fav places to eat. Their wings are a must have. We get the mild and they are a little sweet and just a little hot. So good!

You would be surprised at how good the food can be in certain establishments. From the outside and even inside at Dellis' you think this is just a bar and the food can't be any good. Well, you'd be wrong. I was told this place had pretty good French onion and my whole party ordered it. And the verdict remains correct! Awesome French onion soup!! It is very flavorful, just enough salt and not too sweet. I loved the broth! There was a good amount of onions to bread ratio. And of course when in Maryland, crab cakes are the way to go and a must try. And you have got to try it here. There was more meat than breading, which is always a good thing. You can see the chunks of crab meat and well seasoned too! I personally had a flounder sandwich. If it was frozen you got me, but I didn't think it was too fishy. Fried flounder between your chose of bread. Great French fries. read more
