Barracuda's never disappoints. The owner/Chef Billy Hughes is always coming up with new seasonal items. Lots of large flat screens to watch sports, always on. It is a bar restaurant with terrific seafood offerings. I had the monster soft shells on a Caesar salad. Huge well dressed salad. And what a huge 'monster' soft shells, in season. Later I had seasonal 'July tomatoes' from his garden topped with lump crab. The tomatoes were seasoned with what tasted like a cornmeal breading season beautifully. And aroma sauce with capers.what tasted like a cornmeal breading season beautifully. And aroma sauce with capers. The staff is always welcoming. The drinks fresh, think watermelon crush cocktail. read more

Stopped by the second-floor bar at Barracudas for a quick visit. The staff was friendly, and the food was pretty good overall. However, the Old Fashioned was underwhelming and could have been more spirit-forward compared to other local cocktail bars. Lots of bar ice and very sweet. See picture. One major disappointment was being charged $2 for a small cup of BBQ sauce without being notified of the upcharge. To make matters worse, the sauce tasted more like vinegar and ketchup than actual barbecue sauce. Yeah, it's pocket change but caught us off guard, especially with the credit card charge fee - fees add up. Overall, Barracudas is a decent local spot with friendly bar service. We'd come back for drinks and possibly some bar food, but hopefully the cocktails and condiment policy could use some improvement. read more

I'd never been here before but stopped in for a few drinks and had a blast! The vibe is your classic neighborhood dive bar. Bartenders were super friendly and acted like they'd known us for years, making my friend's birthday feel extra special. The orange crush was super delicious made with fresh oranges. They also had a strawberry crush that my boyfriend loved, also made with fresh strawberries reportedly from the owner's own garden. This is the kind of place you can easily strike up a conversation with fellow patrons or watch your game of choice. We didn't eat any food but all the plates we saw actually looked really good. The Outdoor dining space was ample and bathrooms were clean. I would definitely return! read more

This place is a gem. Local sourced food with creativity. Service was great. We found it while visiting Fort McHenry. It made our trip to Baltimore special. read more

Have dined here several times. Food: some items stellar, some just so-so. The jerk chicken pasta is always a crowd pleaser, and their pizzas are good. Salads and tacos have been hit or miss. Drinks: the best spot to get crushes. So many options including a seasonal one. Ambiance: inside is more of a sports bar, lots of tvs. Patio is lovely, they have a couple fans and a retractable roof. Dog friendly, too. Service: friendly and usually fast read more

Perfectly average. Stopped in for a beer while waiting for a table at Steamers. Seated outside, Had the chips and quac. The menu is heavily seafood, beer wasn't cold, but it was nice to sit for 5 mins. Thought the "Jeet yet" reference was a Pgh thing, but they say it's a Baltimore thing? read more

Stopped here after a full day in the sun. The bartender was sweet and attentive. The Coastal Crush was very good and refreshing on a hot day. I thought the $12 price tag was a bit high for a drink that was mostly ice, but it was delicious. read more

A classic Baltimore restaurant! Barracudas is exactly what it needs to be. No frills, fair prices, good drinks, good food, quick service, friendly staff. I've been here many times and it's always satisfying. There's indoor and outdoor seating, I've never had to wait but I bet it could be busy on nice nights to get an outside table so be patient if so. I came as group of four, we got an app, drinks, and dinner and we were in and out in about an hour. The crushes are a must get, and the fries are some of my fave in Baltimore - the super crispy kind. For dinner, my entire table got the fish tacos coincidentally lol! The batter is perfect and loved the tomato/salsa Fresca style topping. Just needed a litttttle salt imo. Lots of the other dishes at other tables looked great and all came out quick. We each spent about $35 before tip. There is a 4% service charge added to all checks. Overall, it's a great vibe similar to Shotti's, Nick's, and other Sobo spots. Make sure to check this one out! read more

What a neighborhood gem! My buddy and i did a day trip to Baltimore from South Jersey and were on our way to Ft McHenry. on a whim we popped in for lunch and greeted by an enthusiastic staff, owner, and bartender. Chef/Owner recommended the soft shell crab sandwich and the waitress the blackened crab po boy. two great items paired with a Natty Bo. Would love to return and night when the vibes are kicking filled with the neighborhood. 5 cheers to this gem. read more

This place is a hidden gem! This place was close to our hotel so we decided to go there for dinner. The first impression is it's a locals bar/restaurant environment. The inside has signs and old pictures on the wall. There's a jukebox playing all different kinds of music. We sat at the bar. Both bartenders were amazing. Extremely friendly and provided prompt service. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana and the wife ordered the fried green tomatoes with crabmeat. No joke, it was the best eggplant parmigiana I have ever tasted. The wife's meal was also outstanding. I spoke to the owner Bill and he said all of their ingredients are fresh from the garden. Well, you can definitely tell. We love this place so much that we stayed two more hours to have a few drinks. What an amazing time we had. read more

Barracudas is the best. Great food. Great service. Nice atmosphere. And killer orange crushes. And if you want something different than the orange crush, try the grapefruit crush or the lime crush. When I'm here with my son-in-law, we get them all lol. This time I tried the Porketta sandwich (yes that's how they spell it on the menu ). It was delicious. The crab cakes are very good. Maybe not the best in town, but pretty close to it. Lots of seafood dishes on the menu. And a decent beer selection although I always opt for the crushes. Barracudas is one of the few remaining reasons to come to Baltimore city. Jeet yet? read more

Such a wonderful surprise! Looking for a local spot for late lunch stumbled on this beautiful place- starting with the Jeet sign , to the colorful building and welcoming decor everything screamed - eat here! So we did . The sauerbrsten and ricotta bites were superb and plentiful. The coddie- filling and very tasty . To go we got the jerk chicken and pork schnitzel- will report later, but everything so far was a must come back . And we will read more

Gotta eat here it's a hidden gem! Drinks and vibes great food good people happy hospitality! Welcome in and welcome back! We love to see ya!

The drinks are great here. Short list of cocktail options including a variety of crushes. The chicken Parm I got was good but not sure it was worth the price. It's was over $40 after tax and tip for 1 drink and 1 entree. Our server was really nice and helpful. The outdoor seating was great with the great weather. They have a couple TV's outside and string lights for when it gets dark. Parking in the area can be a bit of a struggle since it'll be street but there's at least not a lot of restrictions to have parking passes or to pay. Our group of 5 was able to find parking within reasonable time and well within walking distance. read more

Stopped out to Barracudas after a long wait from another local spot and was blown away by the old bay fries, homemade ranch dressings, and freshly squeezed crushes. The ambiance is like your favorite local pub meets your favorite beachside bar. Highly recommend this underrated local spot. ... oh and shout out to Brian the bartender read more

Came in on a Friday night and the first floor bar was totally packed! Thankfully they have some tables upstairs that we sat at and ate a delicious meal. We had the smash burger, buffalo wings, and Italian steak sandwich. Our wings took a little long and at first they brought us out the wrong order, but our waitress could not have been sweeter and was extremely accommodating. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Delicious. We actually ended up here while headed toward another spot that said it was closed. It was great happenstance. The food was great (ordered the brats and kraut), the ambiance was fun and the service was excellent. Definitely would come back. read more

The vibe here is great i love going for drinks! The food is not my favorite but it's not bad i just don't love their selection of food.

Came into Barracudas Sunday around 5. My two friends and I walked in and several staff members passed us and looked before we were eventually greeted. We sat outside and was helped by Jackie and another kind server. I know she was a bit newer to the team, but her service was great and I hate that I can't remember her name. I ordered the Coastal and it was so refreshing. It wasn't sweet which I loved. I also ordered the Greek Salad to eat. The shrimp were a great size and the dressing was delicious. Unfortunately, I was the only person who enjoyed my meal. The steak tacos were super dry and flavorless. The burger was completely dripping in sauce. The fries were great. I'd come back for drinks, for sure and definitely for a chill vibe. read more

Recently went here because saw they had strawberry crushes on Instagram and knew I had to try it! Going to be honest went for the drink but what I was reallyyyyy surprised by was their blackened shrimp salad. I got it with no olives and feta on the side and it was perfect! It was flavorful and tasted so fresh. I think it's my favorite salad in the city right now! Also took my pup and got her a dog bowl that had chicken and veggies and she approved too! Definitely recommend this place! read more

So we came her for date night. And they have shrimp tacos however it has spicy stuff that I can't have. The cook was willing to make me shrimp to go in a salad but not take those same shrimp to add to a tortilla so I could have shrimp tacos. I was told that the mixture for shrimp tacos was already made . I can't eat spicy . So I asked could he just make shrimp and put them on a tortilla just as he would if I got a salad and added shrimp to it. They said no so you can make shrimp to put in my salad but not to put on a tortilla ‍ I don't get it.. we left and are going somewhere else for dinner. The drinks were nice though read more

Cale here as i was staying in the area and needed a bite to eat. It was a nice quiet afternoon place to hang it looked like with people sitting outside with their dogs. The waitstaff was friendly and inviting. Horse racing and espn were on tvs. Got a plate of old bay wings and porketta roll. The wings were phenomenal - good and meaty and cooked just right and when paired with their blue cheese just perfect. The porketta roll was an interesting mix of baconey taste with lbroccolini and cheese. It was good but paired with blue cheese it was great. The chips were good to (as a blue cheese delivery mechanism). Get as much blue cheese as you can is what I'm saying. They do it great. Only thing i didn't like was they only had pepsi products. If you want alcoholic drinks they are stocked but for a soda mixer i need my coke. read more

Parking is a challenge, if you aren't local I suggest Uber. Spent forever circling the neighborhood trying to get a street parking spot, finally got one and got to the restaurant at 9:29, we were starving and not much is open after 10 on a Tuesday night. So, just to be sure we even called to confirm they were open and we asked where to park. I was practically skipping with joy down the street to the restaurant, all the food items look great on Yelp. SADLY As soon as we walked up a gentleman told us the kitchen was CLOSED!!!! I even told the man, it is only 9:29, but he just waved us off- What the heck????? Your website and Yelp says tonight you were open until 12 MIDNIGHT. SOOOOOO BUMMED. read more

8/16/24 we went to barracudas to have a drink after a nice brunch We spent about 2 hr there & over $200. I wasn't drinking anything except water! We had a good time, Good drinks until the end. I got up from my bar stool to stretch my legs to walk around looking at the wall decor. I noticed a cardboard photo, I used my hand to read the saying while touching the image. Then as I finished my friend did the exact same thing. Out of nowhere a white male approached us saying he was Billy , the owner of the bar & he seemed impaired and under the influence. He said "don't touch that ." We had no idea if he is the legal owner or not as the way he approached was very aggressive. Me And my friend had no idea why he came over or what he was complaining about . He accused my friend of "being childish and touching things" also kept saying " don't want you to touch it" He was only accusing & aggressive toward my friend . Sadly my friend & I are different ethnicity and this definitely seems like profiling & uncalled entitled white male behavior towards women and especially a woman of color. This was the most immature, pathetic, lack of respect and act of racism that I have not ever seen in front of me for a long time, so sad... This establishment due to BULLY BILLY is definitely somewhere I would tell everyone to stay away from. Don't spend your money on an ignorant heartless classless man /business owner. Stop the hate ... read more

This is one of my favorite LP places! I visited with a friend for happy hour where we had our choice of outdoor tables and all of the servers were wearing face masks. Both my friend and I got an orange crush ( $5 how could you not) and ordered the Sweet Heat Pizza. Both the drinks and pizza were amazing. The crushes packed a punch, not too tart and not overly drenched in alcohol, and the pizza was easily splitable and the sweet hot peppers stole the show! I honestly wish I could've taken one to go because it was honestly that good. The curst was toasted and not too thick and had such a great crunch when you bit into it. I'm excited to go back and try more items off of the menu! read more

Great local spot with a friendly team and very friendly clientele. I would definitely visit this spot again if I am in the area

Barracudas feels like the type of local bar you aren't supposed to even right a review for -- you just *know* -- but I will anyways. Hands down this is our favorite spot in locust point and our go-to bar in general. It helps that we live a 5 minute walk away and can roll out after a few crushes (freshly-squeezed oranges, good luck finding anything better) without consequences. The ambiance is overall great and very relaxed, and the staff always stands out -- quick, responsive, and clearly know half their customers. Bar service is always especially quick. It's always a good spot to watch a game, which is usually when we find ourselves there. You'd think all that might mean just a good bar with good drinks, but what sets it apart from others is that the food is genuinely excellent. We've yet to see a miss on their menu, from the wings, nachos, salads, sandwiches, pasta, entrees -- seriously everything has been good. So you really get the full package -- you could come here just for food and be very satisfied! It's an awesome story that this local treasure survived a fire and came back strong. Really happy to see it thriving and can't wait to go back plenty of times. read more

Barracudas is always a must visit when we are in Baltimore! We have never had a bad meal.

Very disappointed. Normally this place is awesome. Food is always great. We went today for lunch and got surf and turf nachos and would not recommend. They weren't worth $21. The "surf" was like deli meat and you had to look really hard to find a piece...not much shrimp or crab either. In the past, the shrimp were visible and the surf was pieces of steak. Nothing like before or past photos. Very disappointing.. it turned us off and we decided not to get anything else. read more
