You can tell this place has a lot of history behind it, and I love the location too. It's such a vibe to sit here with a lobster roll. Their fries are also delicious -- I asked for aioli even though it doesn't come with them originally, and their housemade aioli was so worth asking for. Highly recommend doing the same! And again, apparently BTS booked the whole place out for a day!!! That should tell you everything. Would absolutely come back.

Thames Street is a quaint, intimate spot by the water to grab seafood. Our overall experience was…read morejust okay. As soon as we walked in, you are hit with a very potent smell of seafood, not in an appetizing way. After waiting like 15 minutes past our reservation time, we were seated upstairs. The service was decent and attentive. The food was solid. The calamari and the shrimp roll were enjoyable. My fish and chips was just okay. They did send out a dessert, on the house, since we did have to wait past our reservation time which was a nice gesture. Overall, I cannot see myself returning, especially since there are so many other options for seafood in the area.

I tried to pay cash but the cashier counted only $30 so I paid on my credit card. Before I even had the opportunity to use the touch pad to put in a tip she immediately hit enter several times so it bypassed all the options for tip, text receipt etc.... I was thinking ok, not wanting a tip I guess. It seemed rather rude. While we waited I counted my cash and I did have $40 so I'm not sure what was up with her math. Food came out really fast. Our drive was not far so our food should have been hot. Instead the small racquet ball size crab cakes were cold. I don't even think they were cooked thru. I had to stick in air fryer to get them warmed up. The coleslaw which on previous visits was good lacked any flavor besides mayonnaise. My poor wife cracked down on a sharp pointy shell in her crab cake. Needless to say we were both disappointed and still hungry. I'm not sure what happened but we won't be going back anytime soon. I think we'll stick with Pappas.

Everything was fresh and delicious! The three of us ordered a dozen crabs, and they even gave us an…read moreextra half dozen for free. We also got a dozen oysters and a bowl of crab soup. The crab soup was one of the best I've had -- creamy, flavorful, and packed with chunky crab meat. All the crabs were full, with plump, sweet meat. We paid about $34 each and were completely stuffed. We even had three crabs left over! It's a pure seafood market with no seats or tables, so we brought everything back to our apartment and feasted!

The other issue is the customer service . The front cashier very nice and professional. Mackey the owner terrible. He wanted to over charge me for crabs that weren't the size I was paying for. Attitude was horrible and instead of give me xl and jumbo ! He have me xl and a small medium mix ! But called them jumbo. Still charged me for a large ... I guess anything for a dollar . I'm upset because this was a holiday I waited almost two hours for a total waste. I watched others come in after me and leave before me .... Mind you I ordered a dozen and a half crabs.

The host was on his A game with seating, phone calls, and pick-up orders while joking with guests waiting for a table. The cream of crab is unlike any I have had. It was very zesty without having too much bite. I had to stir the caesar salad to equalize the flavors and it was very slightly underwhelming. But I would prefer underwhelming to overwhelming and it worked well with the cajun flavorings of the grilled shrimp entree I ordered. The shrimp came with cocktail sauce and a lemon wedge. All together it was nice. The collard greens consisted of full leaves and was good but not the best I have had. However I cannot figure out what it was missing because I'm bad at cooking collards myself. My wife ordered a Colins burger with bacon and fries. They gave her a generous amount of bacon but it was just like a burger at any other restaurant. The fries are the kind that pair well with condiments like ketchup or mayonnaise. I would recommend this place, especially the cream of crab. I plan to go back and taste more of their menu.

I would say that the staff was really nice and the establishment was really clean. However the…read morecrabs were a strong no. They tasted old, they were over cooked and somehow the seasoning was brittle and bitter. The shrimp were also over cooked, I could get the shell off. $80.00 down the drain.

He struck up a conversation with me and just has bartender aura. Now on to Yaya. She is really good. Personable. Friendly. Knows her stuff. I was there on 1/2 price mussels. I'm in! I started with a cup of the seafood chowder as Yaya recommended it over the cream of crab. Great choice. Flavorful. Veggies, seafood, and bacon a really nice combo. On to the mussels. Chose the white wine garlic over the Cajun butter and Old Bay butter options, again based on Yaya's recommendation. She said, as much as she loves Old Bay, just too salty on the mussels. These mussels were awesome. The cook knows, if a mussel doesn't open, don't serve it. All were opened and I assume they throw out the ones that don't. A great look! Place is very cool looking. Meet bar. Tables outside. It was slow as I was there for lunch at 2:00 but all in all a really good place and hope you get to meet Yaya if you come in. I am in the BWI area for business every 6 weeks. I have a new go to place, especially on Wednesdays for 1/2 price mussels!!!

My only regret is not coming here sooner! We'll definitely be back.

Great meal at great restaurant and I look forward to coming back soon to try some other food here…read more A couple reasons for this not being a five-star review, first of all somewhere along the way our server left and another server took her place and we're not sure why but once the other server took over which luckily was right before dessert things slowed down to a snail's pace. It took forever for us to get our desserts and then the same to get our check. Not really sure why our server disappeared halfway through the meal, but she did. Secondly, I ordered a catfish sandwich which was delicious but I ordered it with no tartar sauce and our server said that that's the way she put it down but the kitchen didn't prepare it that way they prepared it with tartar sauce slathered all over the sandwich which I promptly sent back. Not being a big oyster fan, I did get a couple of raw oysters and actually really enjoyed them and will be back to have more in the future. My mom had the snakehead which was very delicious but also a very small portion for the amount that we paid. The website indicated that for those who are gluten-free, like my mom, the menu had stars on them but the menu that we had did not nor was there a menu with stars indicating what is or could be made gluten free. The ambiance of the restaurant was really nice. We chose to eat outside because it wasn't too hot and we could sit under cover and enjoy the beautiful June weather. It was nice inside but it didn't look to be a very large area inside and could have been very noisy with the high ceilings. Not sure willl try in the future and report at that time. There are many things on the menu that I want to try so I will definitely be back. If you love oysters come here and they won't disappoint. I definitely recommend giving this place a try. Aside from the two issues that I experienced, they were minor in the scheme of things and I will definitely be back.
