So happy to have this place in the neighborhood! They have an awesome draft beer selection, serve consistently excellent seafood at good prices, have a beautiful space, sport a lively crowd, and offer top-notch service. I've been back twice now and I have nothing remotely bad to say about the place. It can get crowded during happy hour, probably because of the ridiculously good deals (50 cent oysters!) and great atmosphere. We've had some killer seafood there including the steamed shrimp, shrimp tacos, crab cake sandwich, and of course 50 cent oysters. Plus their fries are delicious and the crew working behind the bar are friendly and knowledgeable (shout out to Josh for giving me a bunch of great recommendations on their whiskey menu). Brought some friends in from work last week and they agreed, a regular happy hour at this spot is in the works for us. read more

In and out of Baltimore for work for the last couple months. Came here with 3others. It was a pretty loud, hoppin place. I'm young, so it felt like a fit for me. Good selection of hip coastal region foods. They have a solid selection of Whiskeys, which means a lot from a Kentuckian, and many beers I've never heard of, which is always a good thing when in away from home. Lee's probably isn't really going to be your best bet if you want a family dinner, unless you have young adults, and you might be a young adult at heart. Again a great happy hour that includes food deals, like $.50 oysters. Something I never get to eat fresh back home. Rustic charm atmosphere, but probably too many tvs(although there wasn't any sound, and I don't come from a town with major league sports, so I'm not really interested in all that) Overall I'm impressed, and will be back, assuming I can find a parking spot... read more

Fun atmosphere, delicious food. Had the oysters, Brussel sprouts, and crab and shrimp Mac and cheese. Everything was perfect. Very friendly attentive wait staff. Definitely recommend read more

What a transformation from the old Sauté restaurant The vibe is awesome. Zed is The Man!!! Hostess sat us at a less than ideal table and our waiter Zed saved the day. Moved us to a much better table and the food and service were over the top. Will definite be coming back again read more

Stopped in for a quick snack and a drink. ended up with chipotle fries and cornmeal fried oysters, both were excellent. Washed them down with a grapefruit man-crush. great friendly service, would definitely return. My only complaint is how loud they have the TV'S during a game. Somebody put some money into their speaker system and boy do they want to show it off. Folks are coming here because the food is fabulous, not necessarily because the game is on. read more

Really good spot to hang with friends, grab some drinks and enjoy good seafood. Can get packed, but waitresses, staff are friendly. Parking is tight so may have to drive around; but all in all good experience. read more

I went to the block party on Saturday July 27th. I went 2 weeks after my ACL constructions surgery. After speaking to the band the told me it was okay to sit on there equipment boxes because it was difficult to stand for a long period of time. After this the bouncer kept coming up to me and giving me a difficult time even after the band gave me the okay. It became apparent that the bouncer was on a mission to get me out of there no matter what my situation was. I will never go back there for any reason because of how I was treated. I can't believe how they treated me and I don't understand how I was treated that way. Do not ever go to lee'a pint and shell an if you do please know that you are supporting a bunch of terrible human beings read more

Lee's Shrimp & Oyster Roast on Jan 28, 2018 is a total scam. The event clearly states it starts at 11 but we're told that food won't be ready until at least 1pm. The worst part is that this place is only a bar and does not have any tables or chairs so not sure how my party of 7 was going to eat. The waiter suggested that we order from the menu first if we're hungry (Right! Order from the menu before the all u can eat... nice try). We decided not to wait 2 hours so we left and ate elsewhere. Very clever scam and just want to make sure the words gets out so they won't be able to pull this scam agin in the future.... read more

Our favorite neighborhood spot! Love coming here for happy hour and definitely our go-to for quick but delicious night out. You can't be their lobster dinner on Sundays. They always have great specials and constantly changing up the menu (and even let you order a previous special if it still isn't listed!) Buffalo Chicken wrap is amazing and their mushroom risotto is a must-try! read more

Went there for an all you can eat event. Time on ticket says 11-4 got there around 11:30 and no food were being served. Asked bartender about the food... she basically basically brushed me off. She said food will be ready at 1pm, nothing she can do about it. She suggested that i order and pay for some food while i wait. Why would i do that when i already paid for all you can eat? False advertisement!!! I quickly left and ate elsewhere down the street. read more

Lee's has such a great atmosphere and staff. Food was great. I had the seafood diabolo app, seafood bowl, and baby crab cake app and everything was delious!! This place has done a total 180 from the place it was. Definitely will return read more

Lee's Pint & Shell - Bars Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I used to LOVE Lee's. It was my favorite bar and restaurant ..but the service here the past couple of times has been TERRIBLE. My husband and I went today and sat at a high top by the front entrance. We waited for 15 minutes and then had to ask the front hostess who our waitress was. They tracked her down and she asked for our drinks and we put in our drink order. We waited another 10 minutes and still no drinks. We walked out because we were waiting for so long to get any sort of service. It was a shame because my love for that place has completely gone away because of their bad service. read more

I give two stars because it was the Saturday after Thanksgiving, a very busy day. But the menu was just average and the service as good as a bad chain restaurant. Our waiter tried to upsell at every opportunity, they served us bad oysters, and even the "fancy" entrees were served in plastic baskets and metal buckets. Drinks were pretty good. For the money, eat elsewhere in the neighborhood, though. read more

Incredible food and great service! Very fun environment as well. Can't say enough about this place. Will definitely be back!

Love this place - Whiskey Girl! Dave and Brian best 2 guys ever - service is amazing! The food is excellent. Really love the outside seating in summer! Its our new fave spot! read more

update: this is still and forever will be.. the greatest bar in canton. WONDERFUL staff!! every bartender ive met has been more than nice even the passing servers on a crowded night will ask you if you need anything . if it looks crowded, go upstairs they have a very spaceful bar and table area there. 50 CENT oysters how do you beat it ? you can get a blue moon for 3$ on happy hour or a 7.4% nanticoke nectar IPA for $4.50 also on happy hour 4-7 you van get $5 pizzas 3 different kinds and quesadillas3 different kinds as well as duck nachos very good this is the place to go. deleware dave is hands down the guy you want to run into here one of the best bartenders in the world this man alone is one of the reasons i come here every week multiple times is because of people that make you feel comfortable and welcome is RARE IN A PACKED TOO RATED BAR IN CANTON !!!!

Very good Maryland pub food with a local flare. Great neighborhood vibe and away from the hustle of the harbor. Outdoor seating and pretty attainable free on street parking. read more

Shrimp and oysters- All You Can WAIT. This is a review of the 1/29 Event- a shrimp and oyster roast. Not a review of regular service. Advertised 11 AM to 4 PM all you can eat. Oversold and underdelivered. We arrived at 1 PM. My wife was next to a lady who said she had been in line since 11:00 and the food just started coming out. Others had already received refunds. The hostess processed our tickets and THEN said, "It's going to be a long wait." I asked, "What's that, an hour?" She said, "Probably." And then curtly added," We're not giving any more refunds." Another staff member then stated to someone else, that it wasn't all you can eat, "It's until we run out." We went elsewhere and I disputed the charge with my credit card. Probably good people who got out in front of their skis, sold too many tickets and could not handle the logistics. Nevertheless, nice people or not, I would not attend a ticketed event again. read more

Food is ok. I recommend skipping the oysters and avoiding coughing up bits of shells. Service is lackluster. Overall unimpressed.

This place is awesome. I worked in the restaurant industry for years and this place knows how to serve. Nikki, Jake, and Anthony are so great. This place feels like home whenever I'm here and I appreciate everything they do!! read more

Had a night out with the boys on Thursday and just had an amazing night. Slugging back oysters and old fashioneds all night like it was our job. Our bartender was Erin who is pretty much the best bartender of all time. I asked her to make me a drink of her choice and she made a "Nutcracker." Was this some sort of subliminal message she was sending me? I can only wonder...I'm not sure about the one reviewer complaining about the music because it was on point! In terms of food, just get the shrimp tacos. Simple as that. I've been to this bar about 10 times and have gotten the shrimp tacos 60% of the time. Simply put, you will not regret making a visit to Lee's Pint & Shell. read more

Great food, but soo loud that you can't even hear the people at your table. Turn down the music? Please?

Since my review, I went back to Lee's for a HH with friends and was told by the waitress that I couldn't have the risotto dish because "risotto is rice and rice is gluten". YIKES. Sounds like this info is coming from the chef... in desperate need of some allergen training. read more

As Canton locals who live two blocks away, my girlfriend and I typically go to Lee's 3x a week especially on Monday's to take advantage of their $5 lb of Mussels deal. This time we went with four other friends and had a table for six outside. We all ordered 3 lbs of mussel's, 1/2 lb of shrimp, buffalo wrap, double cheeseburger, and their Mexican corn. Right away, the cheeseburger, corn and wrap were given to our table but it took another 30 minutes for 2 of the 3 lb's of mussel's to be brought out, and then we had to remind our waitress that we had ordered a third pound of mussel's as well as the 1/2 lb of shrimp which she ended up forgetting to put in. Another 30 minutes later, the rest of our food was delivered. All in all, our dining experience lasted 90 minutes with food delivered every 30 minutes. Lastly, we notified our waitress when first were sat that we wanted the check split a certain way which she said she would be happy to do and thanks for letting her know. I reminded her once more of this when we finished eating and of course she got the checks all mixed up and all out of sorts. So, needless to say this was one of the more disappointing times we've come to Lee's. Nothing ended up being comped either which was disappointing. She never even apologized. Sorry to say when food is ordered everything should be brought to the table all at once not 30 minutes apart throughout 90 minutes. We love Lee's but unfortunately the last few times we've gone the food hasn't been good and the service has been poor. On a separate note, Athena and Cait are amazing. Always have been. That's the plus here and why we continue to come back. read more

On recommendation, travelled an hour to take advantage of Lee's $14.95 1.5lb lobster special with friends which is available Sunday evenings from 5-9. Arrived at 6 and was told the lobsters were gone within 25-30 minutes. Upon further inquiry was told they only order 50 per evening. Wow. Guess the special should say available to the first 50 patrons, not 5-9 pm. You got me. read more

Still in the restaurant. This place is amazing! Great neighborhood spot. Unassuming. Amazing happy hour deals! 50 cent oysters and $2 off all drinks till 7 and on Thursday, happy hour ALL NIGHT! The oysters are DELICIOUS and very fresh. I ate a dozen during happy hour without breaking a sweat. The service is upbeat but unobtrusive and quick to refill a drink. Place filled up while we were there and everyone is having a great time. Not too loud but a nice hum of conversation and great music in the background! We are only going to tell our best friends about this place because we want to keep it all to ourselves! Had the fish and chip and it was delicious and perfectly seasoned and cooked! The hubs had the blackened chicken with crab dip on a pretzel roll....yummy. I didn't like the fries because I don't care for truffles but they were well cooked. All in all, great place. Will be back soon! read more

The food was amazing. I ordered the chicken sandwich with crab dip on top and it was great! Downstairs was packed, so we went upstairs and the service was great! The drinks were strong and in a tall glass. I would deff recommend this place! read more

We celebrated my birthday at Lee's on Saturday night and they allowed us to reserve tables for 16 people. The staff was overly accommodating and the manager Brian is super nice and went above and beyond to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. Because of Brian we will go there for future birthdays, parties, etc. We could not have had a better experience at a restaurant. read more

My son just purchased a house on Potomac Street and we have been to Lee's 3 times already in a month. This place is awesome the food, service, Beer selection and fresh oyster's. Brunch burger with egg is to die for. We can't wait till Spring and Summer when they open the garage doors. This is a go to place in Baltimore. Don't miss out.... read more

Love this place, food is good, service is good, only complaint is it is super loud. I know when it gets warm they will open the doors and the noise will disperse. Great location close to the square but not there. read more

I don't get the hype or the reason for the amount of business this place does. I've been twice and was extremely dissapointed. We went for lobster night one of the times and never went back. I don't know how you ruin lobster, but it was tasteless and rubbery. The melted butter was some kind of oil and had no flavor. After 2 hours, it still had not solidified. Why not serve real butter? read more

trendy place with a good beer selection and fun outdoor events. a lil small so VERY hard to get a beer on a crowded night. I wish they were not as pricey, but pricey is to be expected in this area. nice neighborhood. read more

Hubby and I stopped in a couple of weeks ago for the first time. Loved the atmosphere and open air feel. First really nice day of the season and all doors (garage door walls) were open. We saw all the 50 cent, happy hour, oyster signs, and he was happy. The bartender was very soft spoken and had an accent. Was a little tough hearing her, but she was friendly and attentive. We ordered two different kinds of oysters to start. They were delivered pretty quickly and were yummy. (I'm told) This was followed by fish and chips, mac and cheese with shrimp and crab and my shrimp tacos. The fish and chips were the best I've ever tasted!! Huge!! The batter was light and tasty. The fries looked like they were made in house and were cooked perfectly. Again, not greasy!! The mac and cheese was okay. Nothing spectacular. My shrimp tacos were very tasty with fresh light flavors. We were excited to find a new place to frequent!! Then the bill came. The oysters were on the bill at full price. When we asked our bartender, she said only one kind of oyster that night was 50 cents each. Well, that was one of the ones we ordered. She said she forgot to adjust them for hh. Hmmmm, well, good to know. It happens, but, knowing up front would have been better. Right? So......we still liked the place enough to go back. And, go back we did. Sat outside and had a lovely server, Sam. She was a pleasure and very informative. We were sure to order the oysters on special this time. Once again, the fish and chips were ordered. How could we not!! On Sam's advice, we ordered the brisket sandwich. Wow!! What a delight!! So many flavors packed into that delicious roll!! I could only eat half. We also tried the grilled broccoli. That was a first for us. Very tasty. Reminiscent of grilled Caesar. I'm stealing that idea! Looking forward to going back!! What a great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Went for happy hour with my family, new to the city and had a fantastic time. Great happy hour prices- cannot be beaten. We thoroughly enjoyed all of our food that was recommended by our awesome server Sarah! Will definitely be back. read more

The pulled pork fries are always so good. I get them every time. I think the blackened chicken sandwich is a hit or miss but that's okay because service is always great and the beers I tap are always a great selection! read more

The food was good, no complaints. We ordered an app(Brussels sprouts) and two entrees(a burger and tacos, both with fries). The entrees showed quickly and were very good. No complaints about the food at all. However a few minutes after receiving our entrees the server(who was very nice and attentive) came by to mention that our appetizer was improperly entered or late and would be ready shortly. She asked if we still wanted it, of course we didn't as our entrees were already there and we were in the process of eating them. She asked if we'd just like to cancel it as has happened to many of you I'm sure, we did, naturally. She came back shortly thereafter to tell us, apologetically, that we couldn't cancel our appetizer and we could either have it served to us in the middle of our entrees or get it in a to go box. She claimed it was her 2nd day and apologized again saying that this was odd to her as well. I'm not the type to make a big deal and prefer not to complain which only ever serves to ruin a good meal. We took the appetizer to go, at full price, but in a state of shock. I've never even heard of this being done before. Often the timing of orders from the kitchen isn't as planned but to force patrons to accept and pay for an appetizer after the kitchen failed to produce them in even close succession is silly. Everything else about this place seemed great. My wife and I even mentioned that we ought to come by again and maybe come to watch a game just weird policy with the app. *updated the review. My previous 3 stars was unfair. The crab topped burger was legit! Brussel sprouts were even good the next day LOL. Forgot to mention we were driving my vintage motorcycle with our dog in the sidecar. We found parking right in front and sat at an outside table only a few feet from him which was awesome. It was nice but a little chilly, no worries every table had its own propane heat tower! read more

Great Sunday Evening! Stopped by for our first time and enjoyed a friendly and informative server- Kim/Sam? The lobster special was delicious! Loved that it was grilled! Another diner enjoyed the lamb wrap.. Brussels sprouts were amazing! Lively atmosphere! We will be back!! read more

Great food, great atmosphere! The fish and chips was enormous, and delicious. The beer selection is adequate. It gets pretty packed at the weekend, but well worth it if you can get a table or spot at the bar. read more

Stopped by last night--a Thursday--for their all night happy hours specials, as their website stated. Couldn't go in the front door, but there was a hand-written sign directing us to a side door. The cute hostess asked us if we wanted a table but we said we'd find a place at the bar. We did one circle of the double-sided bar, but had some trouble identifying available bar seats, due to the fact that the stools themselves were empty, but the places had not been cleared. This should have been an indication of the poor service that was to come. We sat down on the corner of the bar and were not greeted, given eye contact, or otherwise acknowledged for a good 15 minutes. Finally, the guy next to us grabbed the bartender's attention. Keep in mind, we had no menus, no prior knowledge of this restaurant--nothing! We asked for a rundown of the beers on tap and he told us to--WAIT--while he grabbed their draft list. Seriously? Wait? Longer? We ordered beers and wanted to place an order for oysters when he returned with the beers. We said we wanted 6. He asked us what kind.....but how could we begin to say when we had no menus (still)? I thought this place was all about oysters and beer. I will not go point by point into all the service issues any further (suffice it to say, there many), but the pièce de résistance was when the bartender put his shoe up on a 12qt container full of ice, in order to tie it. Absolutely disgusting. Kudos to the kitchen. Food was yummy and seemingly timely. I think all this place's issue are in the front of house. read more

We had the beet salad, happy hour oysters which were awesome. the mussels were good. The crab cake sandwich also so good and huge.
