Seafood restaurant great for date night, dining with family and friends, or even solo dining. The service is not the greatest but the food is pretty good. They're know for their different variations of crab dishes which are all pretty delicious. Ample parking in front of the restaurant and plenty of alternative food options for non-seafood lovers. read more

Crab cakes were good. They were kind of small. The were good. Service was great. I was still hungry when I left. Crab cakes were overrated.

I cannot put into words how good the food was at this place! My husband is from DC and he is a crab cake snob! The crab bomb was simply the bomb! I got the firecracker seasoning which gives it a little bit of a kick and it was amazing. I also got the cream of crab soup with extra crab meat and it was over-the-top delicious! Love, love love this place! If you haven't tried it, you have to try it! read more

Bomb crab cakes great platters great don't know what else to say top notch seafood...

I hadn't been to Jerry's in several years and wanted to try the crab bomb since i've never had it. I was so disappointed. It did have lump crabmeat and plenty of it but it didn't taste like anything. All that 10 ounces crab cake was flavorless and needed several shakes of old bay seasoning. It also needed more color. The crab soup use to be good and that also tasted like nothing. The best part of the meal was the blue cheese dressing for the salad and the warm roll. I hope they get together. They use to be way better than this. They also stopped happy hour!! read more

Isaiah, the waiter was awesome! Attentive and ensured that our refills were coming! I got the crab cake with no bun and although it was really, really small, it was tasty. Others ordered the catfish and fried shrimp; both were very tasty according to my guests. We went as soon as they opened and they had a long wait shortly after. This appears to be a very popular restaurant in the area. The restaurant is a nice size with several different sections. The atmosphere was very calm and family friendly. We brought cupcakes of which the staff offered to refrigerate. Since we had gotten there early, it was still cold in the restaurant; therefore, we opted to leave the cupcakes out. There is plenty of parking and the bathroom was very clean. read more

I went for carry out I did go inside for a short time every table was busy as normal. I ordered crab cake sandwich with potatoes wedges and crab bisque. I had not been for 5 yrs. I thought the crab cake didn't have as much flavor that I remember it still had a good crab meat to filler ratio and it was not the crab bomb just the crab cake maybe that was part of the reason . The crab bisque to me lack flavor the thickener seemed not cooked enough . The potato wedges did not have much potato flavor. Maybe my tastes buds were off that day. I'll have to try it again read more

I had a disappointing experience at Jerry's Seafood. From the moment I walked in, the tone was off. The host was far from welcoming--chewing gum while speaking, visibly disengaged, and lacking even basic professionalism. First impressions matter, and this one missed the mark completely. The atmosphere didn't help either. The place was overwhelmingly noisy--less "lively seafood spot" and more chaotic and distracting. It made it difficult to relax, hold a conversation, or enjoy the meal in any meaningful way. There's a difference between energy and disorder, and this leaned heavily toward the latter. Between the unprofessional service at the front and the uncomfortable ambience, the overall experience felt careless. Plenty of seafood spots know how to balance good food with a welcoming environment. Unfortunately, this wasn't one of them. read more

Never disappoints when you order the crab bomb, food is excellent, Armani was our server, he did an excellent job, would periodically check on us to make sure everything was good. I was surprised I didn't have to wait and was seated immediately. Overall excellent experience, we got the mini crab bomb which was just enough! Ambiance was great, very clean, including the restrooms, so get there if you are considering some delicious seafood dining! read more

My family and I got sick. The shrimp were fishy and mushy. Would not recommend. Worst $130 spent.

A wait at 2:30pm on a Saturday for the best crab in all of Maryland??? Sign me up. It is worth it savor a 10 ounce crab bomb - a jumbo lump, no filler taste bud explosion. Once inside the open and refreshed dining room, the service is always exceptional and friendly. To accompany the crab bomb, I recommend a cup of cream of crab soup with the $5 extra lump crab. It is beyond compare and more than enough. With your entire, the homemade applesauce is a must have. This is a meal of meals. Savor and enjoy. Pro tip: Jerry's is also available for shipping on Goldbelly. Their crab bombs and soups come fresh, on ice, and ready to prepare (with instructions). We do it two or three times a year as a treat to ourselves. They will run specials on there, so pounce on them when you see them. read more

Sorry. No pics. But someone needs to hear this... they put sugar in the fried catfish. I've not ever experienced this and it was not okay. so the lesson in this for me.... Stick with the crab bomb. Every time. The oysters were simply amazing. Huge.... Quickly served... briny. Crab bombs and oysters! read more

We went to Jerry's for a birthday lunch. I'll start by saying we had the infant twins and this is definitely not the place for babies. Well it could be, but it's a no for me. It's a nice intimate setting for a group that is looking for a quiet, casual, dining experience. We certainly enjoyed it, haha but the babies were most def the center of attention so it was hard for me to focus on much other than them. I only remember what I ordered which was the cream of crab soup and Mariners platter. The soup was amazing! Mariners platter was as well, but it in no way agreed with me. My mom told me it's probably because I'm not used to having fresh seafood, which I'm sure I'm not. Boy was my stomach upset! I'd definitely go back though. I didn't have a chance to really look at the menu, but there appeared to be some decent options. I know it to be a hot spot, so definitely worth another try. read more

We had amazing service. The place was packed but the wait was not long. I really enjoyed the cream of crab soup, the roll and the house dressing. The crab cake lacked flavor but it was definitely all crab meat. I wonder if I should have ordered the Fire cracker option. read more

We booked the private room for $100 was a little disappointed the money didn't go towards the final bill. When we arrived our room was not ready we had to wait 40 mins for it to be ready which was also annoying given the reservation said we only get 2 hours in the room. After the room was ready we were told we could have the room for the entire night which was great. The service was okay but the main star was the food. Omg all the food was amazing no complaints from the drinks to the appetizers to the entrees. Everything was fire!! I saw the restaurant gets super busy so it's a little loud but the private room was quiet and homey so it was nice to be able to experience this restaurant for the first time in the private room. read more

I went to the Jerry Seafood in Bowie next to the old Regal movie theater that no longer is there. I had never been to Jerry's. I got the crab bomb which is the crabcake paid like $55 for it. It was worth every penny oh my goodness, it was divine. I dream about that thing and I don't have $55 to go back yeah and it was just the crap and it came with vegetables, but I don't recall the vegetable. I think it was broccoli. I don't remember. It's not important but that crab bomb. It was the biggest crabcake I had ever had and I told them to add lots of butter and then give me a side of drawn butter and when I came home, I put a little bit of old base seasoning on it. Just a very touch not heavy and my goodness to gracious. I thought I was gonna eat it in two days now I ate it in one like I said it took me a few hours cause I wanted to eat my vegetables too, so I think I ate the broccoli first cause I was my mouth was salivating for that crab bomb and I told them no lemon. I don't like to put lemon on my crabs bomb at all cause it. The lemon flavor takes away the original flavor of the crab. It was jumbo crab meat. It was full of crab meat, not filling not filler. It was divine. I still dream about it so is it worth $55 yep every penny every penny that does not include tax. The order grand total came to like $58 because you have to include tax but I haven't been back since it was to go order so the service was nice. It was a lot of people in line so they got one order mixed up with somebody else's but not mine cause I stood and waited and had many conversations with different people which was wonderful. I appreciated the kindness. It started raining, but they had a covered tent where you pick up your to go orders where you walk up so I didn't get a chance to go in the restaurant, so I don't know the ambience, but I'm assuming the restaurant was popping because the parking lot was full of people. read more

The food was delicious. Well seasoned, fresh and hot. I definitely will be back for more. Also the drinks were strong just like I like them

Ordered the stuffed shrimp - the price seems close the competitive average. Shrimp seemed more like large. 4/5 Salad was good (blue cheese dressing very thick). Waiter came to the table and never said his name. Service was interesting. Went late afternoon and it was not very busy. Workers were walking around and it took some time to get the carry out container and the bill. Bus boy walked past the table a few times, but ignored the used dishes that pushed to the side. The baked potato was very fresh. read more

Food still amazing. I've moved out of the area and just recently had the crab bombs and soups shipped to me for our Christmas dinner.

This used to be the go to spot for the crab bomb but I think they might be slipping a tad. Flavor profile was off on the crab bomb, calamari and crab soup. Nice interior very spacious w great service . read more

this was my first time at Jerrys, I had told my family I wanted a solid maryland crab cake for my birthday today and this is where we landed, while the food was good i wouldnt say it was particularly exciting or special outside the crab bomb. they start you off with a warm bread basket with butter, the entrees come with two sides I got the caesar salad and wedges. The Service here left much to be desired the managerial staff was very seemingly very selective as to what tables they chose to check on, and our waiter was absent often and while I can appreciate staggering between courses the wait times were still considerably lengthy especially given that they didn't really get filled up until about 25 mins into my dining experience. one of my party members got the cream of crab soup which she found to be extremely bland and sent back, the oysters she had she did enjoy. they split with our other guest the crab and shrimp bomb with the house salad they both reported the salad lacked toppings and the blue cheese less than desirable. when our main courses finally arrived I can say the crab bomb was certainly the star. It was nicely filled with real lump crab meat and had a nice sauce within, and the shrimp x crab bomb combo i found to be very juicy! for my platter I found the haddock to be surprisingly well executed it was light flaky appropriately battered and flavorful I really enjoyed it , at $56 though seeing that tiny scallop on my plate next to those large shrimps was disappointing and the scallops were somewhere in between slightly overdone but also under?! weird ! the steamed shrimps were lightly seasoned, listed as devined but i did find one shrimp that definitely was not I get that no one really wants to do that to begin with but if you're going to go through the trouble of listing that on the menu as a prime feature of a dish then please make sure that that is the case across your plates. the fried shrimps were seasoned nicely, as were the wedges! Overrall id rate the mariners plate 7 or if being nice 8 out of ten. It left more of / for something to be desired. the server when they finally got back to us did bring me a brownie for my birthday unprompted which was nice and appreciated. If i come back its definitely going to be to go! or right when they open read more

Took my boyfriend and he enjoyed it. I told him it was the best crab cake in the area. We will be back.

Jules Verne once wrote, "Put two ships in the open sea, without wind or tide, and they will come together." "That's how my parents met." "They were from different worlds, but life, like the sea, has a way of bringing people together." With his opening narration, Jason Momoa's Arthur Curry reflects on the one plot line that doesn't involve Orm, Arthur's half-brother and would-be Ocean Master; King Atlan's Trident, which would bestow command over the Seven Seas; the Karathen, a godlike sea monster; or Black Manta, a pirate turned supervillain who seeks revenge for his father's death. Curry reminisces instead about the type of love that is usually only written about in sonnets, that of his father, Tom, a simple lighthouse keeper, and Atlanna, Queen of Atlantis. Most of us cannot rely on the tides and currents to deliver the ambience, company, and seafood we seek. We need a place, a restaurant; and Jerry's Seafood, landlocked at 15211 Major Lansdale Blvd in Bowie, Maryland, provides the perfect spot for a first or fiftieth date. My wife and I were lucky enough to be treated to dinner at Jerry's by our favorite neighbors; and we both selected the Mariner's Platter, which, on that night, featured two types of scrumptious shrimp, chilled and lightly-fried, golden-brown; a crab cake (one of their specialties); and haddock that serenaded our tastebuds until we were ready to request the dessert options. Luckily for me, the Mariner's Platter could be ordered "with oysters or without" I chose the second option; my wife, the first. We concluded our evening with slices of Triple Chocolate Cake and Coconut Cake, splitting our generous portions of each, a la Lady and the Tramp. read more

I stopped by for lunch on a Saturday. The wait for a table was a little longer than expected. So I opted to sit in the bar at a high top table. I was greeted promptly with menu from the bartender. There's a small bar menu that can be ordered from or you can order from the regular menu. I started out with a frozen mango margarita that didn't disappoint. For my meal, I ordered the fried stuffed shrimp with a side of coleslaw. I enjoyed the hot sourdough bread and butter so much that I could barely eat my delicious entree. I forgot to take pictures of my food! All in all, Jerry's Seafood never fails. I will definitely be back! read more

Note: They don't take reservations so go early! Food: Cream of crab soup or shall we say cream of curry crab? Delicious! Make sure you like curry flavor before you order. Chock full of jumbo lump crab meat - this is a special soup. Crab bomb is truly bomb diggity - totally worth it - I'd recommend getting the firecracker version to balance the richness and get some zing and pop of flavor Service: friendly, prompt read more

Crab bomb, crab dip, crab soup are very good, but they are not consistent. Sometimes the crab bomb is too loose/undercooked. I order a crab/shrimp bomb to go, and realized when I got home that it had very mushy/thin consistency. It was so liquidy and would not even hold shape. It looked more like a someone spooned it into the container halfway uncooked. Also think they should improve their selection of sides. Baked potato is usually dry and burnt, never taste fresh. Only toppings are butter and sour cream so pretty plain. Would be nice if they had loaded baked potatoes. I don't know many grown adults who want applesauce with a $50 entree. Odd option. Stewed tomatoes are ok but taste like they came straight out of a can. Wedge fries and coleslaw are average. All in all their sides don't complement a good entree that well and seem pretty lazy. I tried my friends' salmon, it was good flavor but a little overcooked and dry and overpriced.. I could make better at home, salmon is pretty hard to mess up unless you overcook it. Fried oysters not worth the $16 price. About 6 oysters, once again overcooked. They had the texture of chewing gum. Had to spit it out, rubbery and inedible. Overcooked or undercooked seems to be the theme here. The crab soups are usually pretty good, though the cream of crab base is very thick and they could add more crab meat. read more

Crab bombs! That's what they're known for. It's a crab cake (10oz or 6oz), but without the filler. I had the 6oz. The crab bomb entrée comes with two sides and bread. I had the coleslaw and baked potato with sour cream and butter. The crab bomb was delicious. Very meaty. The 6oz was the perfect size for me. Both sides were great. I also had the cream of crab. It was the best cream of crab I've every had. It was very creamy and had big chunks of crab meat. I ordered to go. They have a white tent set up on the side of the restaurant. You can place an order with the QR code or order in line. There were plenty of people ordering pick-up. The wait was about 40 minutes. read more

Overall A- As a first timer, I went on a Tuesday night in July, party of 2. It was not too packed. It was a nice ambiance- you can either dress it up or down. I was coming from a formal event but didn't feel out of place. I ordered the baby crab and shrimp bomb which was excellent and so filling. I definitely would return. The costs were a bit high and I had a couple of drinks, but I'll definitely visit again when I'm in the Bowie area. read more

Jerry's Seafood - Baby Crab & shrimp bomb - Seafood Near Me - Bowie, Maryland

My friends and I decided to have dinner at Jerry's Seafood on a Saturday evening after visiting Robin Hill's Vineyard in Brandywine. They do not take reservations, so we arrived prepared for the wait, it was 40 minutes. Jerry's is a nice sized restaurant with a bar area to sit at, as well as a large main dining room, and I believe they have a private room as well. Erin was our server and she was absolutely amazing. She told us the difference between a crab cake and their famous crab bomb. Any questions we had, she was a wealth of knowledge. They also had amazing sounding fish specials. As soon as we were seated, we were brought hot rolls and butter, perfect! The rolls were hot and fresh, and the butter was the perfect temperature to spread on the roll without damaging the bread. Iykyk Funny thing is that we all ordered a baby crab bomb for dinner, I ordered the crab & shrimp baby bomb. The entrees came with 2 sides. Most of us had the side salad, which was the freshest salad I've ever had from any restaurant, side or otherwise. The house dressing was delicious, and my friends raved about the in house made blue cheese dressing, they said the best they have ever had, and they are big blue cheese fans. The other side many of us had was the baked potato, which was cooked perfectly. We also had the crab dip, which was also very good and topped with lump crab. The crab bombs were very tasty and full of lump crab. It was similar to a crab cake but had more juices than a crab cake. We all thoroughly enjoyed each bite of everything we had and can't wait to go back. read more

They normally get 5 stars but today is only 3 because the crab bomb was really off. There was a pasty like filler when there normally is NO filler. The crab also tasted off. Disappointed because I bragged about the crab bomb and drove up from Quantico just so my friend could experience the crab bomb. Oh well. UP SIDE...per usual, service was great and I'll be back because everyone has an off day. read more

Crab cake lovers....don't stop at go...JUST COME HERE! I'll get right to it, the crab bomb is amazing!! They are HUGE, and no fillers! Oh their green beans are amazing as well....but that crab cake is amazing. They also have a crab and shrimp bomb and it's just as delicious. Oh there may be a wait for a table but it seem to flow. They take your number and text you when your table is ready which was nice since there isn't a lot of seating. The price isn't cheap but is affordable. They do offer desserts but I unfortunately didn't try them as the coconut cake was out. Wish they had bread pudding. Oh and the dining area is very homey like. It's nothing fancy at all. I can't wait to go back and get the cream of crab soup! All in all this place is lovely. read more

Stopped by Jerry's Seafood on a packed Saturday evening, and it was clear this spot is popular. The bar was full, and we had to wait for a table. While waiting, we spotted an open table as a group was leaving from the bar area which is seat yourself area, but before we could grab it, an older couple--who seemed like regulars--swooped in. A little awkward, especially with the lingering eye contact, but we let it go. Given the presence of an armed officer, we figured it wasn't worth making a scene. Once we finally got seated, the service was great--fast and attentive. The drinks were strong with generous pours (not a bad thing at all). As for the food, the crabcake was excellent, and the "small bomb" (I think that's what it was called) was really tasty. Definitely worth trying. If you're planning to visit, I'd recommend making a reservation, especially if you're coming with a group. It's a lively spot with plenty of TVs to catch a game, so grabbing a seat at the bar and enjoying the atmosphere seems like the way to go. Will definitely be back! read more
