Nick's Fish House

Nick’s is by far one of, if not the best fish house in Baltimore. Servers are attentive, location is great, and the vibe was cool. My spouse and I ordered A dozen of large male crabs and stuffed shrimp with mashed potatoes and broccoli. The food came out fast and hot. The crabs were extremely delicious, meaty, just steamed to perfection. The stuffed shrimp was scrumptious and seasoned to perfection. Collectively we ate a total of 4 crabs, and had no room for more, they were huge. I would recommend Nick’s to anyone asking. A true GEM!

Nick’s was fantastic. Our server Carolyn was delightful. The food was great. I had the crab pretzel it was good, I really enjoyed it. I wish I was served warmer, it was lukewarm. The pretzel being fluffy would have made it better. My uncle got the crab cake sandwich and ate it all. My brother got the burrata pasta special and really enjoyed it. I thought it was really good and would come back again. The only real complaint I have it regarding dessert. The plating of the dessert was nice but it didn’t taste good. The cannoli cream was far from what a cannoli cream is supposed to taste like and this wasn’t in a good way. The peach cobbler dessert didn’t taste like much either.

This was my first time in Baltimore, and I tried the platter. I'm born and raised in Texas, and seafood has always been my favorite food. Apparently - I've never actually had it until now because it's unreal how good this was. I was licking the plate and my fingers. Delicious. Moist. Soft. Fresh water taste. It has totally changed how I expect my seafood to taste going forward.

And yes, the crab cake is a 10 out of 10, but honestly, the tilapia stole the show.

This place was great! I don't like seafood at all. But had a few bites of my husband's crabcake. It was good. He said delicious. We also got the bruschetta. Amazing! Staff was also very nice!

Absolutely amazed! Everything about this place was fantastic. I had the lobster and crab egg rolls, crab balls, and shrimp and grits! YUMMY! The service as Phenomenal hot n on time! Thank you, Autumn u ROCK!!

I had the ‘Crab grilled cheese’ and it was fantastic.
The food, service and atmosphere are all top notch. They seem to have a large variety of good seafood and I would recommend to anyone that enjoys a good evening by the pier with some good food. I would certainly go back and probably will be.

Update: this has now become our go to stop when we make this trip. We love switching up our orders and trying new things, we had the crab dip recently, it was so good🤌🏻. And I don't know where they get their oysters from, but my goodness they are delicious. But they did change the pickles, they're still good, but the ones from our first stop were better.

Original: Nick's was exactly what we were looking for. My husband and I were traveling from NC back to NY and decided to stop off in MD for a mid-drive break and fuel up. Crab cakes are what MD does, right? Nick's Fish House did not disappoint. The crab cake sandwich (pictured) was delicious, my husband got the crab cake grilled cheese, which was also delicious. We split a half dozen raw oysters as well, and my they were large and very good. Oh, and if this is important to you (I know it is to me) the pickles that came with the sandwiches were perfect! The vibe was totally laid back, perfect for a recharge, we sat at one of their two bars and while the bar seemed way too large for one bartender she was super friendly and did check on us a few times - cool harbor views, and a huge parking lot. It was a bit of a circular drive to get there, but they have a bunch of signage, that will get you there relatively easily.

Great food and great location! Our food tasted delicious, Po boy sandwich, crab grilled sandwich, crab cakes 😋Crab stuffed pretzel is a must try! The service was super fast although it was jam packed when we were there. Definitely coming back!

Fun place to eat! Amazing location! we sat outside right on the water. Great live music and service. Awesome fish and chips with a nice batter, I loved the seasoning on the fries.
Second visit, date with my wife, and same stellar food! We had the bruschetta and fish and chips.

Fantastic seafood restaurant on the water. The crabs were delicious and a good value for the quantity and size. The service we recieved was fantastic too. We will definitely be returning on our next trip to Baltimore!

First time to eat Maryland blue crabs and this place did NOT disappoint. Our waiter showed us what to do and we had a great time. My only complaints are: our server not knowing some basic menu features I.e. What the vegetables of the day are - to which he responded, it changes every week so unsure - didn't bother to find out either so I ended up not ordering them, this feels like a lost opportunity. The only other thing that wasn't ideal was that the place was not adequately air-conditioned. If people in your party get sweaty, uncomfortable in humid, warm environments, do not come here. I'm sure it's amazing when the weather cools down and you can sit outside and take in the views and fresh air. Get the crab pretzal thing, crab cake platter, crabs of course but skip the casserole potato thing.

Very off the beaten path and a total gem. This place is way out there. On the water. A bit of a sketchy drive... But made the trek with my friend who had a car and so glad we did. We got the seafood sampler broiled and it was chef's kiss. The shrimp and scallops and fries were perfection.

Great place to visit! The crabs are a must have. Local specialty and great entertainment! The ahi tuna appetizer was amazing. Check the photos out and enjoy. Note they are not open late and can run out of their daily fresh catch crabs or oysters.

The food was excellent. The atmosphere was great. My server was very good. Only issue is the macaroni and cheese came out cold and this has happened in the past. Otherwise everything was great.

Parking here is a bit tight but it's because it's a busy place....for good reason! The atmosphere was great, right on the water and we were seated right away. Our server was attentive but not over bearing which was nice. He even showed us the quickest way to get into our crabs since we unit had experience with snow crab legs! If we are ever back in the area...we will definitely stl by again.

Man, this place is awesome. Great view, great entertainment and great seafood. We order a whole bunch and it's wasn't super expensive (after all, we did order seafood). Crab cakes were awesome and so was the gumbo

It was our 1st time visiting, but won't be my last! We decided to stop here for dinner on our way back to PA from a trip to Washington D.C. We had a 40 minute wait, we didn't have reservations...and I'm not mad about the wait because MAN OH MAN was it WORTH IT. The atmosphere, the staff, the food all AMAZING. The staff from hostess to waitstaff were friendly, attentive, and kind. The food was cooked perfectly and served quickly. And well worth the wait and price. I can't wait to go back.

Terrific view, food, and service. Worth eating outdoors even though it was near 100 degrees! The crab balls to start were terrific and the fish tacos were as well. Need to go back again when I have time to take apart a bucket of crabs!

RJ was our server for lunch today. He was quite kind and attentive. He checked on us regularly and also gave us space to enjoy our meal. The food was tasty and we would definitely like to come back.

Had a friend visit from an inland state who suggested this place. We had a crab pretzel, cream of crab, muscles, shrimp, and clams to treat him to some fresh coastal sea food. He loved it. My daughter was also with me and her food came out quickly and she ate it all so that was more than enough for me. Our waiter was friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was relaxed but vibrant.

Over all, great pick!
