One of the best meals we had in Baltimore…read more We ordered the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, the Maryland Crab Soup, and the Seafood Hot Combo. The crab cake absolutely lived up to its reputation--packed with large, sweet pieces of crab meat and very little filler. It was fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly light. I finally understood why Maryland is so proud of its crab cakes. The Maryland Crab Soup was hearty and comforting, with plenty of vegetables and crab flavor. The Seafood Combo was generous and perfect for sharing after a long day of exploring the city. The restaurant was busy but well organized, and the staff were friendly and efficient. The atmosphere felt lively without being overwhelming. After lunch, we took a short walk to Fells Point and spent the afternoon exploring the neighborhood, which made it a perfect Baltimore experience. If you're visiting Baltimore for the first time and want to try an authentic Maryland crab cake, this is definitely a place worth visiting.

Jade was an incredible server, she anticipated my every need and was such a pleasure to interact with. I finally got to see upstairs for the first time and I absolutely loved my table placement. I was a bit nervous about having a solo reservation but the staff couldn't have put me more at ease. Thames continues to be my absolute favorite restaurant in the city.

GREAT crabs. I use to drive past this place all the time and it wasn't until I saw that they had…read moregreat reviews that I decided to stop in. I called to find out their largest crabs and placed my order and they were ready when I arrived 10-15 min later. Crab shack 2 is carry-out only so you can only get crabs to go. The crabs were cooked perfectly, heavy and meaty I also enjoyed the seasoning. I will be back!

Very disappointed!

I keep hoping they would get better, but they've been bad for a long time. The taste is good, but the weight, they have no weight at all. Not worth the money.

Such an amazing experience !! The part that blew my mind with "Yardkoo" was their presentation…read more This place is not your average seafood boil establishment... They bring a different feel and different flavor to the outing. From the " napkin purse" ( awesome touch of creativity) to the tall unique glass of lemonade. And at Yardkoo you won't get your boil in a bag ( unless it's to-go ) They bring everything out on a stylish tray put together more like an art exhibit, then your meal for the evening. FYI: I ordered a half dozen of raw oysters to jump start things, and they were absolutely on point and super fresh from all angles ( a must have ) And once I actually dove into my meal, I was 100% sold that my loyalty was theirs for the foreseeable future. The environment is bubbly but not loud. The service is friendly and very attentive on all levels. The young woman ( Q ) did an outstanding job of helping me navigate the menu, sauce level, and to-go orders. She had the perfect attitude ( professional with a smile ) and she had an answer for every question I threw her way !!!! ( Shoutout to the bartender also ! ) Trust me when I say Yardkoo is etched on Mount Rushmore when it comes to seafood boil royalty !!!!

I can't remember the place that used to be here but it was the same type of seafood boil at…read moreYardkoo. Wasn't too busy on a Saturday night so we didn't event need a reservation. There is plenty of shared parking in the other businesses in the area. This was a little different because they bring the meal out on a hot skillet that had a burning sterno under it, so be careful. I did learn the hard way when I touched it. The food was good. I had the small boil that comes with half a pound of crab legs, half a pound of headless shrimp, half a pound of sausage, potatoes, and corn. You can choose your flavor and level of spice. I went with garlic butter medium spicy. More than enough to fill me up with a little leftover. Service was good as well. A very festive atmosphere inside. A few people had birthday celebrations this night and they played a club music birthday song.

The hostess who answered was friendly and took my order without issue over the phone. Prices on the online menu were outdated - my total was about $10 higher than what was listed online. No problem. The food was ready in about 15 mins. For $110, we got 2 lobster tails, 2 clusters of snow crab, and 2 lbs of headless shrimp, plus corn and potatoes. Potatoes were kinda large, would have preferred smaller ones, but they were cooked through. Only got 2 pieces of corn, but was well cooked. Shrimp and crab were good - lobster was overcooked and stringy. The sauce was lacking in flavor - and we got the hook and reel blend - we did get it mild, but I still expected the sauce to have flavor. Overall, it wasn't bad, but there are better places to get seafood boils from!

Food was excellent and everything I was expecting. Seafood tasted fresh and well seasoned. We tried a variety of the menu and it kept getting better. Drinks were bold which I love. The Bodega Kitty got the job done. Food we tried: - Moules Frites - Hot Honey Old Bay Wings - Lamb Chops - Volcano Charbroiled Oysters The food was great but my favorite part of the visit were the people. We sat at the bar on a Friday night and the service was excellent. Servers were attentive, asked and answered questions about the menu, gave recommendations of things to do in the city. Felt like I was talking to cousins. Polite and kind.

A special thank you to Ryan and Jordan, who truly made our experience exceptional. They were welcoming, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect throughout our meal.

The food and drinks were fantastic, but Ryan and Jordan are what made this visit memorable. If you're looking for great seafood, a fun waterfront vibe, and service that exceeds expectations, Choptank is the place to go. We'll definitely be back!

The food was good but the service was terrible. We sat down for a late lunch on a Sunday at 2 PM…read more It took over two hours to get our entrees and the place was not even a quarter full. 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.
