Customer service was excellent! Food was awful my husband and I both got sick to our stomach food was greasy and the quality was not good at all we ended up throwing our food away. I had the seafood mix with crab cake shrimp muscles fish soft crab etc., my husband got the fried stuffed shrimp there was so much filler in the crab meat the soft crab wss so tiny the steam shrimp were very small my crab cake had alot of filler I've never thrown a crab cake away before but I just couldn't eat it it didn't taste good at all. Later that night we were both sick to our stomach. We used to go to Fifer's all the time and the food was great I don't know what happened but it wasn't good at all this time. We will not be returning. I do want to reiterate that the customer service was awesome! read more

They get 5 stars because they deliver in the Pasadena area. Food is good as well. Prices aren't terrible. read more

Crab cakes were disappointing. Soft shell crab were excellent. Picked up order. Staff was just friendly enough to point out where I could help myself to pick up my food. Was just "eh" for me overall. read more

Will not be coming back.... Ordered take out 16 June. My order was a house salad, 8 oz. crab cake, and seafood pasta. The seafood pasta had no seasoning, no flavor. The crabcake was mostly filler and a ton of salt. There was more ice cold crabmeat in the seafood pasta than in the crabcake. Salad - not much you can do to that. So if you want crab, order the pasta and add your own seasoning. Otherwise, you are paying $15 for a "crabcake" that is 90% breadcrumb. read more

I went to this place for the 2nd time and I got shrimp and the shrimp were far overcooked! They were hard as a rock, I live ways away so it was already to far to turn around. That will be my last time going to this place. read more

Drinks are good. Bartenders fabulous. Food is meh. Even the crabs were sub-par. But the atmosphere is how I like it...divey!

I am giving this place 1 star for ambiance, poor customer service, and unprofessional demeanor of the staff/management. I tried to give this place a chance since I love all you can eat crab legs. I was thrown off by the verbal altercation between management and a minority staff member who walked out during my dining experience. To make matters worse the staff and management escalated the situation by discussing the occurrence with bar patrons and other customers. There was also a small hint of racist under tone with customers that were of different ethnicity other than white. Ashley Redin was our waitress and seemd to believe that speaking ebonics was every African American's dialect. The crabs were excellent, if you are willing to wait 20 minutes approximately in between each order. But I can't say that I would travel back to eat and experience the same poor customer service. It's a shame because aside from the antiquated and claustrophobic atmosphere it could have been promising. But so much for that... Michael Smith the general manager did attempt to rectify the horrible dining experience...but I still won't back. read more

Great servers and even better food and draft brews!!! Alex, Nick, Stewart and one of our favorites...Holly on staff and serving heavy crabs and cold cold drafts! read more

Stopped in with my wife for dinner as we were both craving some seafood. She had the lemon pepper orange roughy, which was pretty good (and why I gave them 3 stars...and not 1), and I had the steamed snow crab legs. The crab legs were very overcooked....to the point that all the meat shrank up and stuck to the inside of the shells. I had maybe 1 or 2 pieces that were just ok, but none of it was really "right". I think I'll go back and give them a second chance, since I live less than a mile from them. I just hope it's better this time. read more

Amazing place I've been going to for years. I rate 4 stars because I ordered take out and the fries were super soggy with grease, I ended up tossing them. Other than that, their food is the best! read more

Friendly and attentive staff, cold beer and fresh seafood. Want more? Nice sized portions worth the price and an additional 10% off their liquor store next door. Want more? The day we went we had free beer tasting at that liquor store! And we just went for the food! We had the fried shrimp, fish and chips and the Chesapeake sampler. All were delicious. Definitely worth the trip. read more

Fifers Seafood - The Chesapeake sampler with crab cake, shrimp, scallops, clams, soft shell crab with two sides. - Bars Near Me - Pasadena, Maryland

I don't even know where to start. The atmosphere is absolutely atrocious and the girls were all hammered cursing at customers. The management is more than a silly joke, no respect for customers or each other. I can't enjoy a crab Rangoon anymore without it smelling like dirty sea water and rotten clams. I'd give a 0/5 if I could. read more

We went here for dinner, first time ever. we sat down and the table was sticky and the condiment holder was dirty. We were going to make the best of it tho. We got creme of crab soup not only was it cold but the bowl was the size of a cup and had only a tiny bit of crabmeat and it was 10 dollars. Still trying to make the best of it we got our dinner and my crab cakes weren't cooked all the way thru, they fell apart when trying to eat them. I was disappointed by this place and unfortunately will never go back. read more

Thanks for our delicious Crab Fluffs and our delicious Crushes. They made our evening!!

The food is great the atmosphere is wonderful. It's cozy and the staff is patient, informative, and fun loving. Nothing better than spending time and money in the company of people with good vibes. My favorite most favorite part of this experience & keep in mind I love food but the crowlers to go are an amazing treat. You can get a refreshing delicious crush or your drink of choice TO GO! Yes yes alll the yes. read more

Came for the seafood, stayed for the carry out manager. Good looking plump ginger boy. Real nice beard. Super professional and kind. Sure knows how to please a women. Definitely coming back. read more

Went there for happy hour with half price appetizers and wings. Service and food is very good.

Terrible food. I assume the burger was previously frozen, the meat quality was very bad. I ordered medium rare and it came extra well done. The seafood platter was fried and I was expecting broiled. The wings were very dry, no sauce at all and you could tell they were fried in the same oil as the seafood. Everything was greasy, I ended up throwing 90% of the meal in the trash. Please do yourself a favor and don't order from this place. read more

OMG, absolutely delicious!!! No matter what you order, you will not be disappointed. Started with appetizers and it was too hard to make a decision on a entrée, so we continued to order appetizers. The oysters and calamari are well seasoned and fried to perfection; while, the crab pretzel and clams casino were among the best I have ever had. If you order appetizers, you might think twice before ordering an entrée because the portions of the appetizers are meals by themselves. Great friendly wait staff, excellent food, reasonable prices, and a slippery floor in the dining area...therefore, 4 stars, and I can't wait to on AYCE night. read more

Awesome place to eat fish. Great choice on the menu but pricey. Hosts are very attentive to the customers. Then the restaurant would not accept the Groupon. We had order four separate meals with drinks but our fourth person did not show. So the Groupon was invalid. Their are better ways to handle the transaction. Basically they lost a customer and tip do to poor practices. So you get two stars instead of five. And I will use my Groupon when I have four in my party. read more

Found this place driving around and am happy I did. Being new to Baltimore, I wanted to find a place that was local, comforting and causal with good crab/ seafood. First time here- a bit over whelmed by the menu I was guided by the staff and ended up with soft shell crab, old bay seasoned blue crab and nice mix of other seafoods. On a hot summer day a cold beer made this lunch a completed one. Was told to come back for their happy hour.... Week later I did. Had the experience of cracking a crab. ( see vid) it's alotta work with too little reward. lol. They have an all you can eat option as well. Bartender and staff is awesome and after two visits- I will be back. Picnic style tables- bar holds about 10 ppl- there also a raw bar ( buy seafood and go) no crackers here- all mallets. Prepare to be filled and get dirty. ANDY-jay-Holly are awesome ! read more

Fifers Seafood - You want me to what?!?! - Bars Near Me - Pasadena, Maryland

Rude owners rude bar tenders and zero customer service. The food decent but I try not to give Ass holes my money.

Went here for the first time Sunday. What a pleasant surprise!!! The service was amazing. Everyone was so friendly! We ordered oysters on the half shell, crab dip, wings, fried scallops, and shrimp. My husband is a wind expert and he fell in love with the wings. Crap dip, oysters and shrimp were perfect. I asked for the scallops to be fried instead of steamed but they came out all breaded. That was my fault. I should have said sautéd. No biggie. I just picked off the breading and ate the scallops (I'm on keto). We really enjoyed ourselves!!! read more

Great local spot. Been living in this area my whole life, went here for the first time yesterday!! We used a GROUPON. GOT 80$ OF FOOD FOR 35$!! The food was home made, drinks were awesome good prices. BEST CRUSHES AROUND!! Maryland style seafood at it's finest read more

Fifers Seafood - Fifer's seafood, Pasadena MD!! Big crush and take home bowl - Bars Near Me - Pasadena, Maryland

Fifers is super cool, in my books. I've gone here twice for all you can eat seafood and both times it has just been amazing. You know that feeling when you're about to almost die from the meat sweats but then you man up because another plate of crab legs gets put in front of your face. That's the kind of satisfaction and experience you're going to get here... without the actual death (hopefully). The service has always been above standard and the wait time has never been an issue for me. I will say that for the amount of food, it's a bargain - absolute bargain but it is pricey. Definitely not a place you can eat at every week (at least not the all you can eat). The all you can eat menu is online, but if you're lazy like me, I'll just tell you- crab legs, steamed shrimp, blue crabs, hush puppies, fried chicken, corn on the cob and so much more that I honestly can't remember it all. The crab legs were fresh and well seasoned. Very good. Bonus points for having coupons and groupons available most of the time. read more

PEverything is breaded in a bland bread crumbs no spices at all and very greasy not recommended leftovers home couldn't even eat them and nasty s***definitely not worth the money go somewhere else haven't been here in 10 years very disappointed read more

We ordered delivery last night and were not pleased with the experience! Delivery was quick, under 30 minutes for 2 large deluxe platters, 1 oyster soup and 1 black bottom after I specifically asked what desserts were on hand. First phone call back was to understand why the bill was so high as we were not given an itemized receipt. Seems prices went up though our menu wasn't old. Second call asked where the soup was. They ran out and were too busy to call back but took it off the bill. How about if we wanted an alternate soup or appetizer? No dessert either but we don't know if we were charged or not. Left a message on their FB page this morning and received the automated response they would get back soon. 12 hours later, no response. Paid a lot, got aggravation. And salt! Lots of salt. read more

Went for a 2nd time. Mediocre food and unprofessional service. The buffalo shrimp was soggy, the mozzarella sticks cool, and the fries tasted like they were cooked in floor cleaner. The bar staff sat around socializing with regulars in between texting. I wouldn't have dared to text behind the bar when I was bartending. Id spend my downtime cleaning (and the place could use a good, deep clean.) I also saw them bring in some frozen haddock (from the back and through the bar) and it comes from China. You're better off heading to Cantlers for your local seafood. read more

I agree with the other reviewer on the crab cakes, they were terrible! There was way more filler than crab. The crab dip has very little crab and extremely salty. Fried fish seemed frozen, it was tough. The person who got stuffed shrimp was happy with her dish. The restaurant is extremely loud, we don't want be back.213 read more

FIFER'S BINGO! Awesome place. The servers are a true delight, Nick surprised use with near perfect Spanish. The crab cake, juicy,... The fish and chips moist and substantial. All kinds of people and all having a wonderful time. Just found another 'Favorite Place' and is only 5 min away from Home. Thank you for an outstanding brunch. the Right. read more

We came for the AYCE seafood and it was great! We tried the steamed crabs (they were small but meaty), crab legs (my favorite), raw oysters (never had them before but they were delish!), corn, fried chicken, chicken wings and mussels. Everyone was good and so worth the $48.95! We will be back again! It's made to order so it's fresh and hot! Ps: I had a crab pretzel, it's part of the AYCE! read more

The place is a little small so plan ahead if your short on time. Food is great! My family and I had the seafood alfredo, fried oysters, oysters on the half shell, blue crab (medium), crab cakes, fish fry, and a pizza. Everything was good and came out in a timely manner. If you came to the DC B-more area for Blue Crabs this is the best place we had during our trip. My only complaint is they don't do reservations and there was a bit of a mix up with our table so we waited a bit longer. We will be back soon so I look forward to some more delicious food! read more

Me and my husband went here for lunch. I was really impressed with the drinks, food, and staff. I had a yummy bloody-mary and scallops. The crab macaroni salad is (IMO) better than Arun. Seafood. All my food was great!!! I love the decor too. Crab-basket lights and casual atmosphere. I always appreciate when the staff works together (bartender and waiter)- we didn't wait for anything. It had been over 10 years since I was in last, and I will definitely return. read more

Best seafood in Pasadena! Craft beer here is a bit pricey, but they have some of the best selection. This restaurant has a hometown feel to it that's unique to pasadena, and I'm always happy to keep coming back. Service is friendly, swift, and pretty flawless. read more

Went to this place because I love Groupon and they had one. We will definitely go back again and again. The food is really good. We had the fish and chips. Monday they have a great special. All you can eat wings for $10 and 1/2 price appetizers. You can't order any specials on the Groupon though which is disappointing. Draft beer isn't a deal but that's what we like. $7-8 a beer. I do like the specials they post though!! read more

Hit the Dina for some seafood with the family. This place is located in a strip mall and obviously has expanded in the past years. It has a great set-up and good bar area. The seafood is fresh and well prepared . Obviously their crabs are fantastic per the other reviews. I also highly recommend the fish tacos....freaking awesome! The wait staff is really friendly and attentive. They have a nice selection of beers on tap. I will be going back again for sure. read more

I'm shocked at the good reviews. A date took me here for dinner and although we were seated across from each other at a very small table, it was so noisy that we couldn't hold a conversation. My date couldn't hear me, but the teenagers close by could hear everything. They even complimented my dress. The food was quite expensive, which made me uncomfortable. I ordered the crab cakes and they were inedible due to having almost as much filler, shells, and old bay seasoning as it had crab meat. They were also fishy tasting. Perhaps they fried my crab cake in the fish pan. These were hands down the worst crab cakes I have ever eaten. Once you have crab meat in your mouth, it is difficult to pick out and spit out the shells, so I had to ask for additional napkins. I am a salt lover, but these crab cakes had about a tablespoon of old bay per crab cake. The wait staff didn't seem surprised that the crab cakes tasted bad. After a visit to the ladies room, I was horrified at how filthy it was. I will not be returning here and would not recommend it to a friend, nor a family member. So how did they rate two stars? The service from the wait staff was excellent. They were very attentive, even anticipating when I needed more iced tea to wash the salt and old bay down. They even offered to replace the crab cakes with something else when they noticed that I was avoiding the food. I declined because I didn't want the date to continue, and I had already visited the horrifying bathroom. When they saw how the date was going, they offered me something stronger to drink. I would have been very upset if I had paid for such an awful dinner. Honestly, I don't understand what people see in this place. The quality was simply missing. I will stick to crab cakes at the G and M or Annapolis Seafood, where I have never been disappointed. read more

Horrible service. The dark haired, heavyset woman with glasses promised to bring my order out to the car. I waited 30 minutes. I called and asked if it was ready, she told me it was ready 25 minutes ago. Why tell me to wait in my car and then refuse to bring my order out? Horrible. read more

We were just visiting DC and on our way home decided to eat here since I found they have a groupon of $45 for $80 worth with a party of 4 or more.If you didn't have the groupon you can also do the half price appetizers that starts at 2pm.We got the buffalo garlic parmesan chicken wings which was very good!Not too spicy just the right amount of kick to it and it's also crispy and tasty.Also got the calamari and soft crab bites but personally I think there's just too much breading to it.We also got the chesapeake bay deluxe platter which is plenty for the price.The fried clam strips that comes with the platter again has too much breading to it and I honestly didn't taste the clams.Also got 2 lbs of the steamed snow crab clusters price 18.99/lb.It was good and tasted fresh.Service was pretty good so overall I give 3.5 read more

Great tasting food. Nice atmosphere. Wish it had more seating...don't try to come at lunch you'll probably have to wait for a seat to open up. Definitely a local hot-spot. Has the feeling of a place where "everybody knows your name"! read more
