Thames Street Oyster House

One of the best meals we had in Baltimore. We stopped in later on a Saturday evening with no reservation. It was a 45 min wait but we were able to get seats at the bar after about 15 min. The bartenders were friendly and attentive. The drinks were well made. The food was amazing. We shared calamari as an app and scallops with butternut squash. The seafood tasted fresh and the flavors were fantastic. I would absolutely go back here again if in the area.

One of my favorite places for lobster rolls, delicious New England dishes and raw bar. I feel like their Raw Oysters (don’t forget to add some Maryland famous condiment “Old Bay”!) and obviously Lobster Rolls with lots of butter are a “must try”. Another of my favorite dishes in the menu is the “Grilled Portuguese Rock Octopus “ simply amazing! The stewed peppers with the salsa verde on top and the charred lemon it’s the perfect combination of flavors. Calamari was very tasty and crispy.

Service is always good and upscale. Great atmosphere and employees are very friendly. I definitely recommend this restaurant located in Fells Point by the waterfront, plenty of good bars and other restaurants, too. Reservations are recommended, it gets busy!

Okay, I have to give this a 5-star because I went here for their fried oysters and it did not disappoint. It was quite expensive for the 4 pcs of fried oysters, but they are by the water, so I can’t complain too much. Their green salad was great as well. I also had their fresh oysters that they shuck right there by the bar. The oysters were fresh and I got the different extreme sources to truly appreciate the taste of the oysters, from less salty and more salty regions.
It was worth it.

The drinks. They have local drafts and bottles. Then since it was a freezing and snowy night, I asked my bartender to make me hot drink and he gladly made an Irish coffee! That really warmed me up.

I can see why they get lots of 5 stars. Food and atmosphere were great but the service was too. Highly recommended!

We came for a weekend in Baltimore and we were recommended this restaurant and it was an amazing experience. For me the best seafood we had during the whole weekend. You need to get there early as it gets very busy. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. The bar area is also a great place to sit and watch the bartenders work their magic. Super friendly and helpful staff, everyone is making sure you have a great time our bartender was amazing and super chill on explaining the menu and giving us recommendations for the food. So yeah The food, oh my God, that was amazing super tasty and fresh seafood, we tried the oysters and they were so fresh and delicious. If you are an oyster aficionado and like them, this place is for you, they have an amazing menu with more than 10 different types of oysters. The lobster roll has been the best one I have eaten in my life, it was incredible!!! We also got the whole fish of the day, it was a good price so we tried it and it was such a flavor, they serve it with an avocado salad on top and fries and I'm telling you it was excellent!!!! We ate it down to the bones. When we go back to Baltimore, for sure this restaurant will always be on the list to go back!!! Amazing experience and I'll highly recommend it 🔥🔥🔥

Great dining experience! We asked a local Uber driver for a seafood recommendation, and he pointed us here. The venue lived up to the hype! Staff was really great and super knowledgeable about everything on the menus. Specifically, I wanted to call out Jay, who was an oyster expert answering questions I didn't know I had. His service was also very accommodating. The crab cakes are a must get. Perfectly crispy outside, and the crab flavor couldn't have been better! I'll add that the muscles in white sauce were insane. We had to ask for extra bread for dipping because it was that good, well worth the price! Drinks here were strong and tasty. You should realistically have a reservation, but we enjoyed our time at the bar. Place is a Greta value price wise. Overall, I give Thames Street Oyster House a 4.5 out of 5!

The overall environment is clean, and the dishes are served promptly. Despite the crowd, the service quality remains unaffected. The second-floor windows offer a comfortable view of the harbor.

This is my favorite restaurant in Baltimore! The food is amazing! We had some oysters for an appetizer, the scallops and monkfish for entrees, and bread pudding for dessert. Everything was unbelievably delicious. I highly recommend this place! Make sure to get a reservation!

The food was incredible. We went for a good oyster sesh and it was amazing. The lobster roll was great too with the perfect bread.
Just make sure you make reservations as it is a small restaurant

Amazing food and fantastic service. My go to place whenever I am visiting Baltimore. The lobster roll is to die for…. The best💛 Oysters are always so fresh and delicious. Teresa was super friendly and professional.

One of my favorite places to eat dinner in Baltimore. I recommend this place to everyone! My first time in their back patio and it had a very nice romantic vibe. Wish they would add string lights back there. The first floor is good especially bar seating but gets super loud. The upstairs is cozy and intimate- good for a sit down meal and conversation.

I forgot to take photos… Will update after my next visit!

Our best family first meal in Baltimore… we loved all the dishes from crab salad to escargot. Reservation was easy and restaurants located at heart of the pier.
Waiter was very attentive and service was great. Will come back to dine very soon .

Thank you Claudia for your amazing hospitality. You made us feel special and even went out of your way to congrats my engagement. THANK YOU!!
No doubt, foods here live up to its hype. If you are in luck, their special dish (lobster, fish on top of risotto) was so good; definitely recommended!!! Got Maine Lobster Polenta for entrees. We also tried out different kinds of oysters from different places?!!! How cool is that?! I never knew it was a thing! We wrapped up with crème brûlée. 10/10
We WILL come back.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Baltimore! I have never been disappointed, even when their menu was simpler during covid. The spring cocktails are amazing, especially the Almond Sour. It packs a punch and is delicious. I got the monk fish entree and the gnocchi was crispy and amazing. Fresh oysters were a hit as always. Husband had mussels and the lobster roll and was very happy. Service was stellar. I can't wait to go back!!

We had an absolutely delicious meal at this place! The octopus, shrimp ceviche, lobster roll, crabcakes and blueberry cobbler were all delicious. This was by far the best meal my boyfriend and I had in Baltimore. 😍

I had a fantastic dining experience at Thames Street Oyster House. The lobster roll was simply amazing, bursting with flavor and generous portions of lobster. The oyster shooters were equally impressive, delivering a fresh and invigorating taste. This restaurant is a seafood lover's paradise, and I highly recommend it for a delicious seafood meal!

Gorgeous food and top notch service. Busy but accommodating, warm and welcoming. We had a dozen oysters, octopus, mussels and truffled scallops. Oysters were on point. Octopus was a little different, sliced instead of a whole tentacle but with a nice unique seasonal preparation of squawk and pumpkin seeds. Mussels were fantastic, broth was silky flavorful and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

A staple of Fells Point. Great food at a price you would expect for the location and quality. Multiple options for seating, from the high tops at the bar, dinning room inside, or sit outside in the courtyard or street. The ceviche was absolutely the star of our night, a must try!

Great food the fish and chips really great the best ever the service was awesome try to make a reservation it gets busy . Make sure you ask for Gina she is the best server and is super nice she also knows the menu and can explain anything . What a great personality she has .
