Attended Ravens draft party. I use a wheelchair and unfortunately the elevator to party area was out of service. Gurvie Singh and Carl Krepp set us up downstairs and made sure we had full access to the buffet and also made it possible to for the Ravens players there to meet with us for a greet and photo op. They definitely went above and beyond which made it a truly memorable night for us. It truly made our trip from Pa. worthwhile. Food was great but Gurvie and Carl were the stars. Thank you for a great experience. Can't wait to visit again. it will now be our go to place while in Baltimore. Jeff and Madeline read more

If you're looking for a place that delivers on every level--food, drinks, atmosphere, and service--Jimmy's Famous Seafood absolutely knocked it out of the park for us. My sister and childhood friend were visiting from Texas and Florida, so we wanted somewhere memorable--and this was it. We started with cocktails: a perfectly balanced Lemontini, a bold and flavorful Bloody Mary, and an Espresso Martini that was smooth with just the right kick. Every drink hit. Then came the food... and yes, we went all in. Crab Dip, Crab Eggrolls, raw oysters, chicken wings, Crab Mac & Cheese, and stuffed shrimp with baked mashed potatoes. Not a single miss. Everything was fresh, packed with flavor, and clearly made with care. Portions were generous--we happily left with plenty for midnight snacks. What truly elevated the experience, though, was the service. Our waitress was phenomenal--attentive, friendly, and on top of everything without ever making us feel rushed. Then Greer stopped by to check on us and even offered a tour of the restaurant, which was such a thoughtful touch. You can tell this place takes pride in what they do--the staff is incredibly welcoming, and the kitchen was spotless. From start to finish, this was more than just a meal--it was an experience. Between the amazing food, top-tier service, and the fun, lively atmosphere (with the added bonus of potential celebrity sightings), this spot is a must-visit. And if you're not local? No problem. Their frozen food options are packaged exceptionally well for delivery, and their food trucks bring the same quality on the road--I follow them since I live a couple hours away! Bottom line: if you haven't been to Jimmy's yet, you're missing out. We'll absolutely be back. read more

Checked this place out a couple of weeks ago while I was in town for an O's game. If this place is "famous," it must be famous for being mediocre in a state and a city that offers some incredible seafood options. Might be fine if you're a tourist just looking for somewhere that isn't outright terrible, but this is basically the definition of mid, and you can do so much better elsewhere. read more

We had a large party and over an hours drive, here to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Jimmys was absolutely one of our favorite restaurants, pre-COVID. we even made the long trek to patronize during COVID, to get our to-go orders and to celebrate my dads birthday with the outside dining. The food wasn't up to its normal standards but everyone and everything during that time was "off". Fast forward and we are a few years out of COVID. We were very happy they could accommodate a reservation for 15. We all in our party, however, agree that this was our third and LAST visit to Jimmys. We used to wait for over an hour for a seat here. We should've taken the hint when the restaurant was considerably empty for a weekend. We all had an huge sampling of the menu. The crab cakes have that same topping as the "imperial" crab and is just simply put not good, as does all of the crab dishes and appetizers we ordered, to include the pretzels. The fried butterfly shrimp was void of flavor. period. The sushi, while beautiful in presentation, was nothing better than what is served at Wegmans. My sister sent her pasta back to the kitchen, the sauce was watery and lacked flavor. Not very accommodating, the seafood platter can only be broiled, not fried. Too many dishes to go through them all. The birthday girl ordered a steak and it was pretty good, but with all of the 4-5 star steak houses in the DMV don't drive all the way to Jimmys. The steak ain't worth the sizzle. It definitely is not The Prime Rib or DC Prime. We had 2 waiters and the service from the guy was nothing short of excellent. His name escapes me, but a tall African American gentleman, I think the only one serving that day. His partner, a slight brunette certainly pales in comparison. When sharing our experience with friends and neighbors, we were made aware of the owners' political and racially inflammatory posts and views. With family's immigrant story, I don't get it. To each his own, but when I'm spending $800+ on a meal, I got choices. As such we'll never patronize this establishment again. Do your homework everyone and it just isn't good anymore. read more

Went to Jimmy's during the lunch hours for the first time, service was quick and the food was very good! I ordered the crabby chicken sandwich buffalo style. For lunch time, it was still pretty busy but our party of 7 was well taken care of. read more

My daughter gave me a dinner recommendation while I was traveling out of town so I decided to take it. I had previously planned on going to Jimmy's but the plans changed. This time it was just me so I made sure that I was going. The staff was very warm and welcoming. Since it was my first time eating there, they made sure to provide me with suggestions on what to get. Benjamin, my server, did not steer me wrong. I ordered the Old Bay garlic butter aged steak. Without a doubt, this was one of the best steaks that I have ever eaten. They served it as the perfect temperature as I requested. It was moist and juicy. The steak was very flavorful and tender. I could not have asked for a better meal. The dining room was buzzing with people having a great time and enjoying great food. I cannot wait to return again! read more

I took my family to Jimmy's last weekend and it was so great! We went upstairs and are there...the vibes were good, good music and nice staff. My only complaint is my seating we sat at a tall table and it was a little tight especially with two kids. But that's it! So the staff was great! I noticed that every server who walks past stops and checks in at the table so we felt very seen and that everything we wanted was addressed. We appreciated the courtesy. Our server Nikki was super friendly and made great selections. Ok so for food, we listen and we don't judge ok! My daughters had the Poboy with all the options for protein. My other daughter had the kids shrimp (which could full feed and satisfy an adult). Hubby and I decided to share apps we had: -crab cake egg roll (the slaw was amazing) -drunken crab bites -chicken and crab taquitos -garlic parm / lemon pepper wings -mozzarella sticks -boom boom shrimp but not the coconut one the other sauce -oysters -oyster Rockefeller -Derrick Henry roll - seafood burrito to go And i can say without a doubt we loved absolutely everything! We had full meals to go! And we will def be back. Everything was flavorful, sauced down so well, seasoned and cooked to perfection! The manager Gurvir even showed us around with a tour! Safe to say we will be returning and bringing everyone we know. read more

My 1st time in Baltimore I had to try the seafood. A friend, who joined us, recommended Jimmy's. He had been here several times and liked it. He has not stirred me wrong yet. We were a party of 5 showing up with a reservation. I could see one was not really needed. The decor, ambiance and vibe was hitting us in a very good way. The service was excellent. Everything brought out in a timely manner. We were checked on enough but not overtly excessive. I started with an old fashion. Decent, good enough to satisfy my craving and wet my whistle. We were looking for something exceptional and I believe we found it. All were in agreement to share the Seafood Tower. Crab Cake Egg Rolls, Mini Lobster Tails, Jumbo Calamari, Tequila Lime Shrimp, Jackpot (Clams Casino and Oysters Rockefeller), Grilled Octopus, Mussels Nirvana, and Famous Crab Dip. It was all so so delicious. Though the portions may look small it was more than enough to satisfy our fill. And well worth the price. I was also told you could order this nation wide. Give them a buzz to place your order. Growing up in the East Coast the thing I missed the most was blue crab. I ordered some excited to have satiated by craving. I was surprised how small they were and very salty. This would not do. In fact, I couldn't eat it. I ended up taking it back and making fried rice out of it. Being that small there wasn't much to pull off of it. Live and learn. My wife wanted mac and cheese. I'm not a fan but that was really good. Didn't feel like I was choking on cheese and it was good quality cheese. All in all it was a good experience and would come back again. read more

Had dinner on Mother's Day. This place was very busy, but all of the staff were attentive and professional. Our drinks were really good and the portion of food was good. My only issue with our visit was the "Labor of Love" tax on top of the automatic gratuity of 18% for a party of two. I'd definitely recommend the crab macaroni & cheese, it was delicious. read more

The thing that has brought me to Jimmy's is the Taylor Swift brunch parties. The first one was meh. The staff weren't very attentive (they were probably also overwhelmed), there wasn't any decor, and the food was underwhelming. And there was the manager/owner/whatever really pressuring folks to write positive Google reviews. The second one I attended (for The Life of a Showgirl release) was immensely better! There was decor, super cute placemats, etc. And the staff was more friendly, attentive, and engaging. Even the food was better. The upstairs bar area is smaller than I was expecting. But it's a nice space with a large square bar, plenty of TVs, and even a patio area. I'd be interested to sample the dinner menu and try more of the non-brunch options. So hopefully I'll find myself in Baltimore sometime where I can do that. read more

We stopped in to get our tailgoat passes and enjoyed a quick bite- their crab cake eggrolls are amazing. The pasta was nicely prepared and good. They have a huge menu but are known for their seafood and it's a great spot for a crab cake! Upstairs they have a large bar and seating and downstairs they have the larger area and another bar. Service is always really nice! read more

Not really sure what all the hype is about. We dined at the upstairs bar. The staff would definitely get 5 stars from the greeter at the bar stairs to the servers. Our server fully explained the menu and checked in with us multiple times. The cream of crab soup, definitely 4 stars, the crab cake was 3.5 - I didn't understand the hype. The shrimp were very good. If I were to return, I would consider the sushi - as it looked pretty tasty. The 80's night vibe was fun and the live music was excellent. read more

Was apprehensive since this place is SO infamous and I wasn't sure the place would live up to the hype. I have to say, I was impressed! The inside is much nicer than it looks from the outside. Very bright and spacious. We tried the crab dip (sorry - we destroyed it pretty quick so no photo) which came with a thick garlic toast. Yummm. My husband had the chicken Chesapeake with green beans. He was very happy. Said it was great portion and delicious. He also took down two of their Cinder & Smoke old fashioneds. I wasn't hungry enough for a full dinner so got a cup of Maryland crab soup, a raw bar sampler (a deal at $15!!) and some calamari (which was more then expected). Everything was delicious!! Can't wait to go back. read more

With this being a high recommendation from my favorite auntie and cousins who are like brothers to me, we decided to end our weekend trip with a meal here - and this ended the trip in a high note, leaving us stuffed and almost unable to head back up the road lol. We called ahead to see if we needed reservations and, because of the time of day we went and the fact we were just 20 minutes away, we didn't need them. But we got there at the right time because a rush of people came in like 15-20 minutes after we arrived. Anyways, the restaurant was giving the vibe it should be downtown or on the water or something, tons of seating inside and outside on multiple levels. Staff were great, including our amazing waitress who gave us some background on the restaurant and an awesome recommendation/validation of what I would order for my entree. Food and drink were top-notch! We got the Finger Food Sampler as our app, boyfriend ordered the Steam Pot and I got the Build Your Own Pasta with penne, seafood and the ecstasy sauce which came with a Caesar salad. Delicious! You could tell how fresh the seafood was and they don't skimp on the amount they put/use in each dish. And the portion sizes were wonderful - I had pretty much another full meal with the leftovers I took from here. Highly recommend checking them out! And we definitely plan to come back again - even for a day trip - to try more things from the menu. read more

We had the PLEASURE of dining at Jimmy's tonight. And let me say that taking that plane outta Wakanda Adjacent aka Wadorf, MD was WELL WORTH IT . What did we have??? What didn't we have . For starters it was Thursday Night. So we had the Retro Night Mai Tai and a Moscow Mule, (not on the special). He had a 2nd drink, the Golden Gato. Appetizer was the Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs. And let me tell you how that slice of bacon and that half of cherry tomato sets them eggs off . Entrees??? The seafood linguine pasta with creole sauce, the crabby mac, the 6 lbs 1974 crab cake, The Boss 1 lb crab cake with the Greek Lemon Skillet potatoes and finally the Baked Garlic Mashed Potatoes. #ChefsKiss to it all though I would've preferred more creole seasoning in the pasta and the mac and cheese. But overall, we were VERY HAPPY! And are planning our menu for the next visit. From Colin our waiter to the very last bite and take out containers 10's across the board. read more

We had an incredible time and ate far too much crab at Jimmy's. Our waiter had great recommendations including the Crab Egg rolls and Bluepoint oysters for my wife. My crab cakes were delicious but the sauce with them made it unforgettable! The crab dip was delicious, but absolutely needed more of the bread as there was just so much dip left! My only lowlight was the crab Mac which became just a bit too heavy and overwhelming. I'm sure it would've been great on its own, but with everything else we ordered, it was not something I would've paired with the rest of our very dense appetizers and entrees. We'll be back everytime we're back in the city. read more

We came to dine at Jimmy's Live because of a band I know that was performing. Live and Loud- it's how it's supposed to be and service was great! I'd read great reviews about their food--and they were absolutely right!!! My daughters shared the filet bistro and really enjoyed it--the steak was incredibly tender. I had the paella, which was a bit salty at first, but with a squeeze of the lemon it came with, it turned out perfect! You definitely shouldn't miss the calamari either. And now I understand why they call them the famous nachos--they truly live up to the name! read more

Came here for my birthday. Decorated supper nice for the holidays. Our waiter was very attentive. We tried the seafood tower and liked how fresh and well seasoned everything was. The Oreo cheesecake was also yummy and light but very tasty. Some of the best cheesecake I had in a while! The orange crush was good, and was made with juice. I do prefer fresh fruit for the orange crush but overall very good, and I would go back. read more

This food was so good, I had to do a happy dance while eating it. Randomly ended up in Baltimore and decided to give this place a try. It's a really nice location with lots of indoor and outdoor seating but it was busy so we sat at the bar to avoid the wait time. I built my own pasta and I'm so happy I did. Seafood penne with some spicy sauce. So good!! The bar is nice, kinda small but there are a few TVs to make us for that. The bartenders seemed to have an attitude which is the reason for me not giving them 5 stars. The couple next to us noticed the attitudes as well so they left the bar to get a table. They were not attentive to us, and barely checked on us but they were real friendly towards other people. I'm not sure what that was about but after I finished enough of my food we left. Lastly, someone needs to monitor the bathrooms better because they were a mess. Overall, my food made up for the service. read more

Jimmy's is now one of my favorite places for some good seafood! Ordered from Jimmy's off of uber eats. I ordered their crabby chicken sandwich with the crab fries. Everything was super delicious, portions were huge and served for two meals and was super flavorful! Service was great! I put in an order and my food got delivered quickly and without error. Everything that I ordered got delivered correctly and on time. I can't speak of the ambiance since I didn't go to the restaurant but I'm sure it's great inside. Everytime I'm in Baltimore, I will be ordering from here! Highly recommend! read more

During a quick weekend in Baltimore, we made sure to visit Jimmy's Famous Seafood--and it didn't disappoint. To start, we ordered the Drunken Crab Balls and the Crab Cake Eggrolls--both packed with flavor. The eggrolls with the slaw mixture were especially delicious and a standout appetizer. For my entrée, I had the steamed shrimp paired with stir-fried potatoes, and I shared the crab legs from my mom's plate--steamed to perfection. We also shared sides: broccolini, mac and cheese (I skipped the crab add-on), and rich loaded mashed potatoes. Dessert was a warm waffle with vanilla and chocolate ice cream that hit the spot. Our server Jason was attentive and made the experience even better. Jimmy's is definitely worth the stop if you're in town for seafood done right. read more

We were visiting friends in Baltimore and of course a crab cake was on our list of must haves during our trip. We went to Jimmy's seafood on a Saturday afternoon in between the lunch and dinner rush, but still encountered a 30 minute wait for a table - this place is popular! We spent our wait at the bar and ordered some drinks while we waited. They have a nice cocktail, beer, and NA drink menu with great variety. The crab cakes are quintessential Maryland crab cakes, very little filler, perfectly seasoned, and broiled to a slight crisp texture. Broiled is the only way to go! If crab isn't your thing, they have plenty of other options on the menu including pastas, burgers, and other seafood entrees. My personal favorite side dish was the Greek lemon skillet potatoes, which were perfectly fried and had a nice acidity from the lemon. Our server was very nice, but my one complaint is that service felt a little slow and she didn't check in as often as we would have liked, for drink refills etc. It's a large restaurant that seems to always be busy, but it would have been nice to not have to flag our server down for more water. Overall the food and experience at Jimmys was good and the crab cakes lived up to their reputation! read more

I've been here so many times and it hasn't always been consistent. I'm not saying my inconsistent level of content is directly related to this outright, scientifically studied and proven fact that this restaurant doesn't always/often actually use local crabs, but it is clear that the menu and the staff will lie regardless. This is often NOT actually Maryland crabs like stated. In fact often it's not even from the USA. I understand needing to make business based decisions, my issue is the outright lying to customers. How do I know you you're not also randomly adding carcinogenic plastic to the recipe. I'm definitely not suggesting this, but the ethical principles and outright lies of the restaurant, management and ownership is what I'm questioning. Sure, I might go back for the bar scene and upbeat environment, but I would never go back to pay the expensive price for the unreliable, untruthful, manipulative, unhealthy and underwhelming food. read more

I visited Jimmy's on a rainy Saturday afternoon. I arrived just as they were opening and was greeted warmly upon my arrival. There's a private parking lot with plenty of parking adjacent to the restaurant. The restaurant is massive. There are several dining spaces and bars. Everything seemed clean and in good order. I had chicken sliders top with crab dip and fries. The food was delivered quickly. It was good. Typical American cuisine. My server was attentive and kind. I'd go back if in the area or invited but not sure I'd necessarily plan an outing there for myself. Nice place, just not close toy house and not outstanding enough for me to make an extra effort to revisit. read more

Everything would have been a 10/10 but I have a few thoughts on the drinks... okay so for the good stuff. Staff was exceptional, we had our server and other staff check on us multiple times, they had clear and honest communication and was super helpful when going over the menu. I came here in a decent size group of 6 and they had live music playing. Because it was Father's Day they gave us a Father's Day menu but since some members of my family were a little picky they gave us their regular menus as well. My dad, myself and brother in law got drinks and they were pretty weak. They tasted great but for higher priced drinks I was expecting a little more of a buzz. Now for the food, MANNNN that thang was banging! Ever with how high priced SOME of the items were it was definitely worth it. I ordered stuffed shrimp and the mash & the shrimp was good size (LOVED THAT) & the mash was mashing , literally mouth watering. My brother ordered "the bruiser" , that burger was MASSIVE but he literally devoured it lol! Overall the atmosphere, the staff, the wait time for food/drinks and the taste of the food was 10/10 plus I liked the fact that gratuity was automatically added so that took the stress away of determining but the drinks were in the weaker side. I definitely want to come back during the happy hour and during the weekday when they have specials. So stay tuned for another review ;) read more

Stumbled on this place traveling through Baltimore years ago. Always stop if we are driving through and located not far off I-95. The crab and crab cakes are absolutely delicious! The wings, believe it or not, are EXCELLENT. Hard to believe they are from a seafood place and I would come for just the wings alone. The food is always fresh and the owner and the staff are always great! Especially John L.! He's the best server we ever had there.

Had a great time last night at a banquet for our soccer club. When it was time to leave it was pouring down raining and a number of us did not bring an umbrella into the restaurant because it was warm and sunny when we came in.

If you are looking for a classic Maryland crab cake, this is the standard; they are primarily composed of jumbo lump meat with very little binder. Key Highlights: * The Food: The crab cakes are substantial and well-seasoned. The menu is extensive, offering everything from traditional raw bar items to more modern seafood fusions. * The Atmosphere: It is a high-volume, energetic environment. It can get quite loud during peak hours or game days, so it's better suited for a lively meal than a quiet conversation. * Service: Despite the crowds, the staff is professional and the kitchen maintains a consistent pace. It is a reliable choice for locals and visitors alike who want authentic regional seafood in a large-scale setting. Parking is available on-site, which is a major plus for the area. read more

Oh I hate to leave this review but here goes. There is an old saying"you can never go back". Well that certainly applies here. We ordered 3 appetizers for the four of us. The best one was the combo fresh seafood of oyster, clams and shrimp. The raw clams and raw oysters were good as were the shrimp. Second app was clams casino. They were overpowered by the green bell pepper. The third was the crab dip. Huge disappointment as the dip had an overwhelming fishy taste and was so salty. Entree's were so so. One couple shared the seafood fried rice which was also very fishy in taste. They left over half of their serving. Second entree was one of the specials which was a stuffed soft shell crab. There was very little stuffing in the crab , the actual crab was VERY small and definitely did not taste fresh. The third entree was stuffed shrimp that was pretty good. We had been to Jimmy's many years ago and it was quite good. Time has not done it any favors. One very positive note. It was our servers (Caden) first night and he was great. So personable and helped make our dining experience a bit brighter. read more

A+ in every way! Our server was friendly, attentive, and absolutely perfect at her job. Our meals were DELICIOUS. I ordered a broiled crab cake with au gratin potatoes. The crab cake was made with high quality crab and the potatoes were arguably the best I have ever had. My partner ordered the winter steak and the cream of crab soup. He loved every morsel of both. We ate here on a dreary Thursday evening and the place was very busy. On a pleasant weekend, it is likely to be a mob scene. Noise level wasn't too bad tonight, but the acoustics are such that it could easily become very loud. I would come back to Jimmy's in a heartbeat. Can't wait to return and enjoy more of their amazing food!! read more

Admittedly, I haven't been to Jimmy's in a while but for some reason, for my birthday, I was craving a crab egg roll. Theirs didn't disappoint.
