Jimmy's Famous Seafood

We stopped in on a Sunday evening in early March for dinner. They were pretty full but we were able to eat a table and be seated quickly. We shared mussels and the crab cake dinner. The sauce in the mussels was so good we kept it at the table and put it on our green beans. Food portions were definitely sharable. We ordered a couple cocktails and they were very good. Our server, Megan, was personable and friendly. We thought she was from the south based on the high level of hospitality we experienced and she had a bit of a southern accent but turned out she is from Maryland. We definitely would come back here again and we want to sit in Megan’s section again!!

We went to Jimmy's to celebrate my husband for his 40th birthday. We decided to take the day off work and head downtown for lunch, and it proved to be a great decision! The service was timely, friendly, and efficient. Our server suggested the Kentucky Mule for me and Mexican Mule for my husband since he likes some spice, which both turned out to be tasty and refreshing. The calamari appetizer and crab cake were delicious, as were the crabby fries. We will be back!

Food was fantastic! The shrimp were plump and juicy. Everything was very fresh.
I had ordered the cucumber cocktail and had thought it was a bit on the sweet side. I said I didn’t mind keeping it, but my server (Jennifer S*) had noticed I was barely drinking it and she took a shot at remaking it for me. I loved her version and ended up having two! Definitely an awesome move on her part. We will be back for sure!

Nothing but amazing things to say about this amazing place! Looked it up and found out about Jimmy's Famous Seafood as we were looking for the best crab cakes!

Nothing but amazing great food...and let me tell you, the service matched! Leah was an absolute pleasure to have as a waitress and to be honest, it seems like they perpetuate that same customer service quality across the board! I watched as Lauren took care of her tables across from us, and realize this restaurant just does it right!

This was absolutely an amazing experience and as a foodie, as a chef, as an owner in the food industry with my own food spaces, and as a restaurant consultant, I know I can tend to be somewhat critical and that's simply because I see things that other people don't. From the build out to the patio outside to the ambiance and decor inside and out, this place is absolutely amazing! I even enjoyed their parking lot! Lol! And then walking out as I looked up, I noticed they have a second floor?? What!?

I love how they've obviously bought up property around them and expanded their parking through the years, created more levels of dining experience inside and out, which just gives them more tables to turn over, which obviously creates a higher sales! I definitely took away some things from them to add to my own food spaces.

They are doing everything right and it's obvious considering they've been in the business for over 50 years! I love this place and can't wait to come back!

Came here recently for dinner, my first time—food was awesome! Service was great—our server was super friendly and attentive.

To start, they give you complimentary GARLIC bread, not regular but garlic bread!!! The Famous Crab Dip was really good and it also came with garlic bread. The Half and Half Soup (half Cream of Crab, half Maryland Crab) was very flavorful. We really enjoyed the 8 oz. Crab Cake ($34) and Sea Salt Aged NY Strip with Seafood Imperial, and the sides were good too—Baked Garlic Mashed and Charred Broccolini. For desserts, the Carrot Cake was delicious!

For cocktails, I tried the Cucumber Crush and Orange Crush—both tasty but a bit too sweet for my preference and it didn’t have much liquor. But drinks were reasonably priced, $9.50!

Many times a restaurant’s reputation can become overhyped, setting you up for an experience that doesn’t match the reputation. Not the case with Jimmy’s Famous Seafood! From the time our party (4) walked in until the time we left, we were made to feel like we were the only ones there. The service was excellent. Our waitress, Anayha, was very attentive, very professional, and yet very charming and personable. As we were preparing to leave we discovered it was her very first day on the job!
But she wasn’t the only star of the evening. The food was simply amazing as well! For starters we ordered the seafood tower as an appetizer. We were overwhelmed when it arrived. If looked like a tower of everything they served at Jimmy’s Famous! Everything was prepared very well…mother over or under cooked. Even the charred octopus was perfectly presented. My wife got the fried oysters as her entree’ and I got the Chesapeake Chicken. Freaking amazing! Obviously, more food was taken home than eaten at the restaurant. We are from Kentucky but we’ve made it a personal mission to visit Jimmy’s again…sooner rather than later! Bravo Jimmy’s!!!

We had a great experience there. Food was delicious! The passion fruit margarita is soooo good!! Megan was our server and she was phenomenal! Such a great personality & gave us top notch service!

This was my first time here, and I'm sorry that it took me so long. The server we had was super nice and very helpful. We got the Jmmy Five Tower, and it was a lot of food, even for the three of us. Everything was delicious. I got a really yummy drink with blueberries in it--yum! I got the scallops for an entree, and they probably could have been cooked a bit more, but all in all, it was a great place. Highly recommend.

Our second visit to Jimmy’s! As always, the food and service was incredible. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you for looking after us Megan!

Best restaurant in Baltimore hands down! Our family favorite place to eat. Excellent service, food quality is exceptional and portions are great. Both dining room and live bar are always welcoming with great hospitality. 5 star recommendation.

Absolutely the best seafood anywhere. Hands-down!!!. Definitely my go-to. Their events such as the tailgoat and charity events are second to none. Highly recommend. Add a couple more stars.

Stop what you’re doing in Baltimore and go visit Jimmy’s. Their food, especially the crab cakes and crab cake egg rolls, are the Best food we had in Baltimore. If there’s a drawback I’d say there’s too many great options.

The one option I couldn’t live without was our server, Lauren A. She was phenomenal with a great knowledge of the menu, the restaurant history and more. Ask for her when you go there!

My first time visiting and everything met my expectation. Her waitress Sam is the bomb and very knowledgeable on menu and recommendations. The staff is friendly as well.

Went here twice, and each experience was great! The food was great each time. We got a variety of things. We started with the crab cake egg rolls and fried calamari. Then we got one special Surf N Turf, seafood Burrito, and Crab cake with it. I personally got the crabby patty with fries, which was amazing. We also got an Orioles Roll, which we all enjoyed. My best friend got the surf n Turf that he loved. Then my wife got the Seafood Burrito, which she was supposed to get sweet potato wedges with but got chips instead. She said the Burrito was mainly fried rice but it still had good flavor. But she did order the Crab Mac and was awesome. Overall, great experience and food, plus I'd like to add that we've sat at the bar area both times.

Haven't eaten there as much as I'd probably like, but I can say the few times I have, the food is top notch! Service is great and the place is clean. Had the twin crab cakes today and they're absolutely phenomenal! Actual crab and not a bunch of fillers.

Also support them because screw PETA!

Our bartender Savannah A. did her thannnnnggggg! Top tier service and food recommendations, she was awesome! Make sure you all ask for her! The crab eggrolls were superb and my steak was cooked to perfection!

One of the best seafood restaurants in and around Baltimore. Food was great and service was exceptional. I really liked the Tuna steak, egg crab rolls and the chocolate Milkshake

I hardly ever give 5 stars. This place by far deserves it. Food was phenomenal. Everything cooked perfect. Crab cake was best I've ever had and I'm from the eastern shore. Delmarva.... highly recommend experience at least once

Long time Baltimorian first timer at Jimmy's Seafood. I must tell you the staff behind the bar are AMAZING!!! Everyone worked well together with 4-5 waiters/waitresses coming to you to check on you and your order. Food is amazing I had 3 appetizers which were more like full size meals and and entre that I could barley touch. I will be coming back soon.

Coming from Cape Cod, we know seafood. There’s nothing better in Baltimore than Jimmy’s Famous Seafood. From our server, Craig, to the manager, Muhammud, staff was incredibly friendly. We had the creamy crab soup and tore apart the tender snow crab with Old Bay. Delicious. Can’t wait to return next season.
