    Boondocks is something else! It's located in the boondocks. I had the steamed crabs , which I hadn't had for years. They are messy, hard to eat and delicious. I made quite a spectacle smashing them in pieces! My wife had a rather weird but good crab cake nestled in a crab bisque with a soft pretzel on top. Strange but it worked. Service is friendly and attentive. It's an experience! Went for a weekend lunch and the place was quite busy.

    Been coming to boondocks for a long time. Since new owner ambiance is much better and better variety of food. Place looks great.

    I am a huge fan of this place. The soup is incredibly tasty and the crabs are simply amazing. The freshness and seasoning of the crabs were exceptional. I would have given it 5 stars however, I was slightly disappointed when my husband ordered the fried seafood platter and discovered that the seafood was frozen from a box and not fresh. I recommend adding at least fresh fried shrimp to the menu to enhance the overall dining experience. Despite this small setback, I still highly recommend this seafood restaurant.

    Stopped by Boondocks on the way back home. It is off the beaten path-Fo Sho! It is a cute roadside establishment that looks like it is straight outta 1980! We decided to get down to business-Ordered Crabs w/Old Bay & it was recommended by our server to get the appetizer 'Hodge Podge'! The Hodge Podge was deep fried 'everything'-Pickles; Vegetables; Hush Puppies (maybe)? Lol Pros: The crabs were a large size-cooked well Cons: Beer selection is very limited Alright place-wouldn't make a special trip to visit

    The food is terrible. The service cant cook hamburgers. They are to many flys and the vibe is loud as heck.

    Good food, staff is very friendly. The view is also beautiful, I went during a small storm so it was nice and cozy to be inside.

    My favorite restaurant in Baltimore. The food and service ALWAYS shine. The ambience is tight,…read morequaint, but a little noisy. I lived in Boston previously and Thames's lobster roll is BETTER than any I had there. It's my default order, but explore their specials when they catch my eye. I can also recommend thier scallops and fish. Their crab cakes are great as well; however, I reccomend getting other items here and crab cakes elsewhere if you're making multiple food stops in Bmore as there are equally good crab cakes at other places (Pappas, Faidleys, Nick's, Coco's etc.) but not equally good other dishes. I'm not an oyster guy, but they also have the best raw bar in town, and they have an in house dedicated pastry chef who makes desserts which are to die for if you save room.

    Such an amazing experience! My close friend and I went for an impromptu Friday afternoon meal and…read moredrinks. They have a wonderful variety of oysters (local, from CT, MA and Newfoundland). It was a cozy location and although they were busy they quickly got us seated! The staff was prompt at filling our drinks and getting us more tasty eats. We ended up getting two trays of oysters (went well with our gin martinis), and the crab soup with short rib. So enjoyable and really warmed our bellies. I will definitely return to try their crab cake (the gentleman next us ordered it) enticing me to come back.
