This spot was highly recommended to us, and we can definitely see why! They have a huge menu with tons of crab options, so of course we had to try a few. We got the crab mac and cheese, crab cakes, and crabby fries, and everything was amazing and packed with flavor. The crab cakes were HUGE -- 8 oz each -- and absolutely stuffed with crab. I couldn't even finish one! It was definitely on the expensive side, but considering the portions and quality, I'd say it was worth it. We'd definitely come back! read more

We had an incredible meal at this restaurant. The build-your-pasta dish with chicken and shrimp in Creole sauce was delicious. The Greek salad was a great addition, with plenty of feta cheese. The crab soup had a nice flavor, and the crab cake was packed with crab meat. The coleslaw was light and refreshing. We also enjoyed the brunch burger and the banana pudding and lemon parfait for dessert. The parfait could have used more lemon flavor. The server, Ms. Danielle, was amazing. The restaurant was clean and had sturdy tables with a nice vibe. The only downside was the additional charge for Labor of Love, which was $3. This charge should be optional, not mandatory. read more

Since we got down there so late, we weren't sure who may still have decent sized crabs available. We never came here for whole crabs but, given the deliciousness of the food last time and seeing something online that says they have it available starting after like 3pm, I thought they would be a good bet. Called to make sure and luckily they had all sizes. So we headed over. It was later so a different vibe with a live music group performing (actually pretty good) the dj playing the rest of the night. As with the last time, the food was fresh, tasty and satisfying. Along getting the crabs, we ordered some calamari and mozzarella dippers to be our sides. I wasn't expecting the portion sizes for the apps, but I should've known better from the last time... We didn't complain though lol and glad to have a large portion than not. read more

This was our first time visiting this restaurant, and we had a wonderful experience! The food was delicious, and the service was great. My daughter especially enjoyed the complimentary bread basket served with Old Bay garlic butter and regular butter. The rolls were soft, warm, and absolutely delicious. I started with a cup of the half-and-half clam chowder, which was creamy, flavorful, and delicious. For my entrée, I ordered the stuffed shrimp with broccolini as my side, and everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. My daughter devoured the Old Bay Garlic Butter Aged Steak with potatoes-it was definitely a hit! We also ordered the red velvet and John Smith cake to go for dessert, and we can't wait to enjoy them. The white sangria was fresh, refreshing, and tasty. Overall, this was a great first visit, and we really enjoyed our meal. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more

As always, Jimmy's didn't disappoint. With great food, amazing service, and a beautiful outdoor patio, it couldn't have gone wrong. - The crab cake is something I had been wanting to try for a long time and definitely did NOT disappoint. It's not like the broiled ones at other places in town, but it's very very good. - The Chicken & Waffles were very good. So were the potatoes, but they could have used a little more seasoning. - The Calamari was FANTASTIC! I def recommend a visit here. read more

14,000 mile 48 state foodie road trip return to Jimmy's. Had a fantastic experience the first time having the UFO sandwich. This time, I came to try the more "normal" sized items highlighted by the Soft shell crab, fried oyster, and fried shrimp po boy with slaw. Fresh, perfect textures, and enjoyed their slaw immensely. Also for an app I ordered the Baltimore Flatbread (sausage, crab meat, cheddar, mozzarella, old bay) which was solid but didn't compare to how awesome the sandwich was. Cant wait to return again! I enjoy seeing the celebrity photos all along the walls as I waited for the meal. read more

Every trip back home to Baltimore includes one mission, finding a great crab cake. My family knows I'm always looking to try a new seafood spot, so this visit we met at Jimmy's Famous Seafood for a Friday brunch straight from the airport. Reservations are highly recommended, and I appreciated being able to book online. Just be aware they require a credit card and charge a $10 per person fee for no shows. Parking was free and easy, and after figuring out which entrance was for the dining room, we were greeted by a friendly hostess and chose to sit on the patio. The outdoor misting system was a nice touch on a warm summer day, and even at noon the restaurant was filling up fast. I started with a red sangria that was refreshing, although I never found the fruit I was told it included. My family enjoyed the crab dip, crabby chicken quesadilla, and crab balls, while I ordered the Stuffed Lobster Tail. Since I was told Jimmy's lobster and crab cakes are amazing , this was the perfect choice. It was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. My only disappointment was the charred broccolini, which was a little too firm for my taste. I had a great experience and can definitely see why Jimmy's is so popular. The service and food was excellent. I only wish I had time to come back for dinner before heading home. I also love that they ship their famous crab cakes nationwide. I may have to order some for my husband back in Georgia. read more

What a treat! After living in California, getting to enjoy fresh Maryland seafood again at Jimmie's Seafood was absolutely worth it. We ordered a little bit of everything, and every dish was delicious. We sat outside on the covered patio, which was comfortable and perfect for enjoying the beautiful weather. Bonus points for being dog-friendly--as long as your pup is on a leash, they're welcome to join you! Our server was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. Parking was easy with two lots available, which is always a plus. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Baltimore! read more

This is hard to believe. We are Baltimore natives, and we have never been to Jimmy's. On a Saturday afternoon visit with friends, we decided to give Jimmy's a try.

My son is a huge fan of this restaurant, and after several attempts to convince us to try it, we finally decided to give it a shot. We drove almost two hours to get there, but unfortunately, we couldn't find a table in the main dining room. Luckily, we managed to secure one in the bar. The restaurant was packed, as it was a busy day due to an Orioles game. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance, especially on weekends. Despite the crowd, we received excellent service and the food was delicious. By the time I considered taking pictures, it was too late. I managed to capture two images: a Sushi Pyramid and a Cheesecake. We also enjoyed Crab pretzels, Crabby french fries, a Mac Attack Burger, and Shrimp tacos. read more

First off waitresses were so chill very MD style lol Great service, no complaints, they checked in us, made sure we had refills etc. Now living in Cali you could never find a place like this...I knew I was in for a treat that wouldn't break my piggy bank $45 for 8 medium sized crabs!! seasoned well and full of meat! $54 seafood imperial stuffed lobster tail!! Juicy and perfectly stuffed to the bream of the lobster!! I forgot the price on the crab Mac n cheese it was ok... not super bad not super amazing. 5/10... Drinks were solid! Overall this place is a nice we sat outside on the patio, they played all my favorite pop 90's songs can't wait to visit again! read more

Not sure what Jimmy is famous for... perhaps being mid? We knew we had to try their famous crab cakes. Now, I always break out in a small sweat when I see "market price," but absolutely nothing could have convinced me that these crab cakes were worth $75. I would appreciate the fact that the cakes are 95% crab more if there was more nuance in the texture and flavor; it was flat to me, and I expect more from that price. Now, the mac and cheese we ordered on the side was the best mac and cheese I've ever eaten in my entire life. But, this is jimmy's famous seafood, not Jimmy's famous mac and cheese. We also ordered the seafood paella, which came absolutely loaded with clams, shrimp, mussels, and scallops. This was tasty, but nothing that blew my socks off. The charred broccolini we ordered on the side was pretty tough. To finish, we got their homemade creme brûlée, which disappointed me a lot. The top was crispy but the custard itself was chunky rather than the smooth, soft texture I was expecting. If this was based on service alone, I would give a solid 5 stars. Our waiter, and it seemed like every waiter, was very attentive and friendly and on top of things. It seemed like they had their staff well trained and coordinated. Overall, we had high hopes for this place, but it really fell short for us. We rarely splurge on a nice dinner, but figured Jimmy's would be worth it. Unfortunately, I just don't think it was :( read more

This is not my first time in Baltimore, but I wanted to have the "authentic" Baltimore experience and a friend recommended Jimmy's. It was amazing. The food was the star, but I have to say the service really shined. Being in was on a business trip I sat at the bar on a quiet Tuesday afternoon. Tina was amazing. I had my first orange crush, for which she walked next door to the bar to ensure I got fresh squeezed oj to make sure it was the best possible experience. It was. We ordered a plethora of food, crab deviled eggs, pretzel crab app, crabby fries, octopus app and I got the crab cake dinner. All were great. I will say, the eggs and fries, while delicious, were completely outshined in my opinion by the pretzels and octopus. The chickpeas and lemon on the octopus sent it over the moon. And I'm not huge on crab cakes, I've only had one or two, but this was easily the best. Just full of huge chunks of fresh crab, great flavor. The sauce that's with it was also REALLY good, but almost not needed as the crab itself was amazing. I'll be back very time I'm in Baltimore. The kind people make it worth it, the amazing food keeps em coming back. Really reasonable prices for what you get too. We spent about $125 for two drinks, a mess of apps and an entree. Not bad. read more

My 1st time in Baltimore I had to try the seafood. A friend, who joined us, recommended Jimmy's. He had been here several times and liked it. He has not stirred me wrong yet. We were a party of 5 showing up with a reservation. I could see one was not really needed. The decor, ambiance and vibe was hitting us in a very good way. The service was excellent. Everything brought out in a timely manner. We were checked on enough but not overtly excessive. I started with an old fashion. Decent, good enough to satisfy my craving and wet my whistle. We were looking for something exceptional and I believe we found it. All were in agreement to share the Seafood Tower. Crab Cake Egg Rolls, Mini Lobster Tails, Jumbo Calamari, Tequila Lime Shrimp, Jackpot (Clams Casino and Oysters Rockefeller), Grilled Octopus, Mussels Nirvana, and Famous Crab Dip. It was all so so delicious. Though the portions may look small it was more than enough to satisfy our fill. And well worth the price. I was also told you could order this nation wide. Give them a buzz to place your order. Growing up in the East Coast the thing I missed the most was blue crab. I ordered some excited to have satiated by craving. I was surprised how small they were and very salty. This would not do. In fact, I couldn't eat it. I ended up taking it back and making fried rice out of it. Being that small there wasn't much to pull off of it. Live and learn. My wife wanted mac and cheese. I'm not a fan but that was really good. Didn't feel like I was choking on cheese and it was good quality cheese. All in all it was a good experience and would come back again. read more

We called them at 6pm on a Friday night and asked if they could accommodate a group of 20. Not only did they have tables ready in 15 minutes, they treated us like VIP. The service from Maddie and the rest of the team was AMAZING! The mangers were the kindest and the food was perfect as usual. read more

I got the crab cake and the crabcake was full of shells and I paid premium price for it and you got no side for $40 crabcake and it was one of the worst crabcakes that I've had in Maryland. The service was good. Ambiance was just OK thought the whole menu was overpriced and for so many shelves in my crabcake. I don't think I'll be going back there again. I know I won't be going back there again. I do not recommend the crabcakes for such an astronomical price. UPDATE Ok so the crab cakes were actually $38 and I was charged without the side since I ordered a premium side of crab Mac n cheese. So I was charged separately. I must say there was not much crab in the Mac n cheese either! Still whether $38 or $40 it shouldn't have ANY shells in the crab cakes!!! The Management is not at all apologetic so I know I won't go back and nor will I ever recommend them! read more

This place was just OK. We came for my nephews birthday dinner after his dad raved about it. We had a large party of about 20 people on a Saturday night but they were able to accommodate us with a reservation day of. The establishment itself was pretty noisy. Our waiters were fine except one woman seemed overwhelmed by how busy the restaurant was. Now onto the food they graciously suggested we put the kids orders in first which was a good idea but I wished all the orders would have went in because the adult entrées ordered later took what felt like forever to come out. My husband requested the cream crab soup to come out with the appetizers but it was drastically delayed and served lukewarm at best. I tried the oyster Rockefeller which was just OK. I did appreciate the bread service. I had the crabcake entrée with asparagus and thoroughly enjoyed both. I also had a strawberry mocktail which was nice. The kids entrées were also a nice size. We did the chicken tenders and the burger sliders. I had the double chocolate cake which was OK, my nephew had the yellow cake with chocolate icing and after trying his I preferred it. Our waiter brought a chest full of goodies out for the birthday boy and his cousins. That was the highlight of the experience in my opinion. I'd give this honestly a solid 3.5 stars. I also heard that there are other rooms to enjoy but we didn't experience any of that. read more

The thing that has brought me to Jimmy's is the Taylor Swift brunch parties. The first one was meh. The staff weren't very attentive (they were probably also overwhelmed), there wasn't any decor, and the food was underwhelming. And there was the manager/owner/whatever really pressuring folks to write positive Google reviews. The second one I attended (for The Life of a Showgirl release) was immensely better! There was decor, super cute placemats, etc. And the staff was more friendly, attentive, and engaging. Even the food was better. The upstairs bar area is smaller than I was expecting. But it's a nice space with a large square bar, plenty of TVs, and even a patio area. I'd be interested to sample the dinner menu and try more of the non-brunch options. So hopefully I'll find myself in Baltimore sometime where I can do that. read more

Went to Jimmy's and they are overrated. Ordered the crab cakeggrolls. They looked nothing like the tic toc and YouTube videos.presentation was lackluster. They were not crunchy at all. Had the crabcake, shrimp BLT. It was a bust. The bread was over toasted almost burnt and the sandwich was very dry. I should have sent it back, that's how bad it was. The only thing that tasted good was the seafood pasta. It was amazing. My mom had the jumbo shrimp and lobster mac and cheese. She said the mac and cheese lacked flavor. Jimmy's should present their food like they do on tic tok and YouTube. Too many items on the menu. They should have a few signature dish but it appears like they don't. read more

Was apprehensive since this place is SO infamous and I wasn't sure the place would live up to the hype. I have to say, I was impressed! The inside is much nicer than it looks from the outside. Very bright and spacious. We tried the crab dip (sorry - we destroyed it pretty quick so no photo) which came with a thick garlic toast. Yummm. My husband had the chicken Chesapeake with green beans. He was very happy. Said it was great portion and delicious. He also took down two of their Cinder & Smoke old fashioneds. I wasn't hungry enough for a full dinner so got a cup of Maryland crab soup, a raw bar sampler (a deal at $15!!) and some calamari (which was more then expected). Everything was delicious!! Can't wait to go back. read more

My daughter gave me a dinner recommendation while I was traveling out of town so I decided to take it. I had previously planned on going to Jimmy's but the plans changed. This time it was just me so I made sure that I was going. The staff was very warm and welcoming. Since it was my first time eating there, they made sure to provide me with suggestions on what to get. Benjamin, my server, did not steer me wrong. I ordered the Old Bay garlic butter aged steak. Without a doubt, this was one of the best steaks that I have ever eaten. They served it as the perfect temperature as I requested. It was moist and juicy. The steak was very flavorful and tender. I could not have asked for a better meal. The dining room was buzzing with people having a great time and enjoying great food. I cannot wait to return again! read more

If you're looking for a place that delivers on every level--food, drinks, atmosphere, and service--Jimmy's Famous Seafood absolutely knocked it out of the park for us. My sister and childhood friend were visiting from Texas and Florida, so we wanted somewhere memorable--and this was it. We started with cocktails: a perfectly balanced Lemontini, a bold and flavorful Bloody Mary, and an Espresso Martini that was smooth with just the right kick. Every drink hit. Then came the food... and yes, we went all in. Crab Dip, Crab Eggrolls, raw oysters, chicken wings, Crab Mac & Cheese, and stuffed shrimp with baked mashed potatoes. Not a single miss. Everything was fresh, packed with flavor, and clearly made with care. Portions were generous--we happily left with plenty for midnight snacks. What truly elevated the experience, though, was the service. Our waitress was phenomenal--attentive, friendly, and on top of everything without ever making us feel rushed. Then Greer stopped by to check on us and even offered a tour of the restaurant, which was such a thoughtful touch. You can tell this place takes pride in what they do--the staff is incredibly welcoming, and the kitchen was spotless. From start to finish, this was more than just a meal--it was an experience. Between the amazing food, top-tier service, and the fun, lively atmosphere (with the added bonus of potential celebrity sightings), this spot is a must-visit. And if you're not local? No problem. Their frozen food options are packaged exceptionally well for delivery, and their food trucks bring the same quality on the road--I follow them since I live a couple hours away! Bottom line: if you haven't been to Jimmy's yet, you're missing out. We'll absolutely be back. read more

We had an incredible time and ate far too much crab at Jimmy's. Our waiter had great recommendations including the Crab Egg rolls and Bluepoint oysters for my wife. My crab cakes were delicious but the sauce with them made it unforgettable! The crab dip was delicious, but absolutely needed more of the bread as there was just so much dip left! My only lowlight was the crab Mac which became just a bit too heavy and overwhelming. I'm sure it would've been great on its own, but with everything else we ordered, it was not something I would've paired with the rest of our very dense appetizers and entrees. We'll be back everytime we're back in the city. read more

Jimmy's is famous all around the country for their food and hospitality. Fun place to eat.

Best service and very friendly and great food. Servers were very friendly and always made sure we were okay.

Very good food, seems to be recommended by a lot of the older crowd in the area, but a lot of people there of all ages. Service was generally pretty good, but unsure about some of their policies such as bread. Seems most tables get it, and its been brought to mine on about half my visits. The food is quite expensive, of course quality seafood isn't cheap, but after tip the bill is often $65+ per person. read more
