    Used Uber Eats for delivery, took about 30mins, not hot but good enough to eat. Totally Satisfied my seafood craving without leaving the house. Be prepared to spend at least $25+ for delivery & service fees..

    Ordered the lake trout platter w/fries...nice big pieces of bone in trout, perfectly seasoned, not greasy, and fresh. I called in my order versus using Grubhub or Doordash, it's a lot quicker. The wait wasn't long, plus they call you when your order is ready.

    I finally tried this place for the first time the other day. I was actually going to the Mackey's Caribbean place next door, to get those good ole beef patties, but they were sold out, I guess you have to get those early because they sell out fast. So I opted for soul food next door. I ordered the 5 chicken wing meal with Ole Bay seasoning, they were so good, I didn't get fries as the side, I opted for the macaroni salad which was pretty good, a little sweet for my liking but decent. The wings were so good, I went back on yesterday, reordered the same thing, but got the Seafood salad as my extra side, along with the macaroni salad. I did have to pay extra but it was cool. The wings again were great, but the seafood salad was a little on the salty side, had lots of ole bay in it, I took that and mixed it with the macaroni salad, and to me the combination together was perfect.

    Still hold 5 stars years later. Stopped in here this past Sunday. Called in an order for the stuffed crab when I was about 5 minutes away from the spot. Even thought they were busy, when I arrived my food was done. I just had to wait for it to be bagged. The lady at the counter had awesome customer service. I will continue to support this business. Check it out if you are in the area.

    This place has to my be favorite crab house. The crabs was extremely meaty and full of favor. Plus it's a BOB ( Black owned Business).

    Crabs were awesome very big and heavy. Called ahead so there was no waiting for our order to steam. I will definitely patronize them again.

    We were craving crabs and decided to find a new place where we could go and pick them up to enjoy at home. We rolled the proverbial dice and Mackey's Crab House came up the winner. Although we had to travel from the west side to the east side of Bmore, the 30 trip was not in vain. Turns out this crab house has some of the tastiest steamed crustaceans in the Baltimore area. Upon arriving, we were at the corner of Moravia and Belair Rd traveling east on Moravia and our GPS said we were here, but we didn't see the business on either corner. Turns out it was located on Sanner Ave., a street that is, how can l describe, sorta off to the side of Moravia Rd. Once we crossed Belair Rd on Moravia, a quick look to the right showed the red colored building that was Mackey's. We parked on the street and went down a flight of stairs, which served as the entrance to Mackey's as well as a home, but a small sidewalk to the side took use directly to the business. There were folks sitting outside and some inside when we arrived. The outside and inside reminded me of a 1970's Baltimore corner store with its high counter that even now l had to stand on my toes to place the order. The lady was super pleasant. Since l didn't want to go all out and order an expensive dozen as this was my first time here, l decided to go with a half bushel of small/mediums female/males mixed for $75. If they didn't work out, l could give them away to someone who didn't have the knowledge to know what a good or bad crab tasted like. Anywhoo... not a bad deal and turns out someone was late picking up their order and we were offered it so no wait, plus the crabs were still popping hot! As we paid (they accept cash and plastic) we were given a free piece of craft paper to eat our crabs on (I was impressed). As we made our way back west, the aroma of those crabs was calling, so as soon as we go home, l rushed to the yard, spread out my paper and proceeded to dump crabs out and there were a few cobs of corn in the mix as well ( keep impressing me why don't you?). As l pulled apart the shell of my first one, and proceeded to eat the wonderful, sweet meat l had fallen in love. The seasoning was not your traditional spicy, salty blend, but more of a peppery spice blend with what seemed like a buttery coating, which was fine by me. I didn't experience the burning of the tissue on the insides of my mouth and no breakout due to a highly spiced seasoning. The crabs were a true mix, but were heavy and full of sweet meat complemented by that wonderful seasoning. I enjoyed my purchase and will def be back to Mackey's.

Even though the mistake was mine, when I brought the 4 soups back to the counter, they gave me 4 of the correct soup and didn't charge me. I got 8 incredible soups for the price of 4!

The Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes were the star of the meal--packed with large pieces of sweet crab meat, lightly seasoned, and cooked to perfection with very little filler. The Haddock was fresh, flaky, and perfectly fried with a light, crispy coating. We also ordered the Pot Boil with crabs, shrimp, and snow crab legs, and it did not disappoint. The seafood was fresh, generously portioned, and seasoned just right, making it a fun and satisfying meal to share. What made the experience even better was the outstanding staff. Everyone was incredibly attentive, friendly, and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed and taking the time to answer our questions with a smile. Their excellent service truly elevated the entire dining experience. If you're visiting Baltimore and love fresh seafood, Faidley's at the new Lexington Market is a must-visit.

I didn't get to have any seafood while we were in Baltimore so I said I wanted to go there before heading back home. They didn't argue. They loved the food there! Since we had to leave as soon as possible, we didn't order anything that was purely seafood. I ordered the cream of crab soup which they had raved about and the crab grilled cheese. The cream of crab was AMAZING! I could have eaten a whole pot of it! It was so good! I enjoyed the crab grilled cheese as well. There was a generous amount of crab in it so it definitely didn't feel skimpy. Although the food was great, the service was very slow. We waited quite a while just to place our order because our server was nowhere to be seen. We'd love to go back if we ever get the chance to visit Baltimore again but hopefully we'll get better service next time!

    Nick's Seafood in Baltimore delivered a great waterfront dining experience. We started with the…read morecrab dip and the mussels and clams with chipotle lime sauce, and both appetizers were outstanding. The mussels were absolute perfection: tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. The chipotle lime sauce added a delicious kick that kept us coming back for more. For our entrées, we both ordered the fish and chips. The fish was crispy and tasty, though a touch more salt would have elevated the dish. Overall, it was still a satisfying and well-executed meal. On the cocktail side, the Amber Rush was the winner and one I would definitely recommend. I also tried the Maryland Mule, which was refreshing, but it wasn't quite for me. I tend to prefer liquor-forward cocktails, and this one leaned a little too light for my taste. Between the delicious seafood, standout appetizers, and beautiful Baltimore waterfront setting, Nick's Seafood is definitely worth a visit. I'll be thinking about those mussels for a while!

The waitress made a bunch of mistakes that she never apologized for like not bringing a bottle of wine we ordered until an hour after we sat down, accidentally ordering an additional seafood platter and not removing it from the check, not including fries with a dish that came with them, then charging us extra for them when we asked her to please bring them. In total lunch took over 3 hours when it should have been half that at most. Good help is hard to find these days it seems.
