    Came on a Sunday afternoon to solo dine. Had no wait, but the place was packed. For hot crabs, they price them individually from small to ginormous (which I think I hilarious). I settled on the medium size crabs which were $8 each and old bay fries and hush puppies. Everything came out hot, which was nice. Of the four crabs I got 2 of them didn't have much meat, which happens. Loved the honey butter that came with the hush puppies and the aioli that came with the fries. If you're craving crabs it's a great spot but for someone who's used to all you can eat, pricing per crab didn't seem like the best value. My total came to about $50 bucks including my beverage but not including tip. That being said, everyone was nice, service was fast and the crabs were tasty. So, if you're in the area it's a solid pick.

    Amazing time here, great crabs and delicious apps. The cream of crab soup hit just right for me in creaminess and crabiness without a strong sherry taste. The gulf shrimp were pretty good but the crabs were great. At the end of the day they only had mediums but they were amazingly flavorful. Servers were attentive and even went around to tables explaining how best to crack crabs. Busy and noisy and a great spot to experience baltimore.

    My fault for not ordering crabs. Service was friendly and helpful. Venue itself has 3 floors and a rooftop. There is a bar on the 3rd floor so I'm not sure if you can skip the waiting. We ordered oysters from Virginia (both options for local and premium) and a soft shell crab sandwich. Our food was pretty average. Wanted to like this place more.

    Finally got a chance to try LP Steamers this past weekend and I loved it! Service from Anthony was prompt and friendly. He provided great recommendations and stayed on top of drink orders. We sat on the rooftop deck and enjoyed views of Locust Point and the Inner Harbor. It can be fairly sunny up there with some tables only partially shaded so be sure to bring sunscreen. We ordered two dozen large crabs (the two other bigger sizes were already sold out), half a dozen raw oysters, steamed corn, and plenty of apps. Crabs were $125/dozen in June 2026. Everything was delicious! Crabs were an excellent size with the type of clumpy seasoning that I prefer. They don't serve cocktails here but they do have wine, beer, and seltzers. We all enjoyed the orange crush cocktail in a can over crushed ice which was not bad for not being a fresh crush. They only seat you once your full party is there FYI. There's lots of seating on all levels of the building so there was luckily no wait for us once our party arrived. The staff was even nice enough to store my friend's birthday cake and allow us to cut it at the upstairs bar. Such a good neighborhood vibe here and excellent food! I'll be back.

    A local seafood joint with good food and good vibes! They have three floors of seating, some picnic tables outside the restaurant, and outdoor rooftop seating. Even then we had to wait about 20 minutes on a Sunday evening, but the food was definitely worth the wait! They're known for their steamed crabs which we didn't end up getting, but if its anything like their other steamed seafood then I'd bet its delicious. The shrimp, scallop, and lobster tail were cooked to perfection and were very fresh! The scallop was a bit under seasoned but we forgot all about it when we tried their cocktail sauce! My gf liked their cocktail sauce so much that it became her standard of comparison at subsequent restaurants and she thought none were comparable! The soft shell crab sandwich was also very yummy! The soft shell crab itself was quite meaty and nicely seasoned. The crab dip was yummy but felt a bit heavy. We also didn't taste much crab flavor in it but overall it was still enjoyable. The soup was mediocre and something we wouldn't have missed if we skipped it.

    I love this place. It's such a great place to go with friends and family and enjoy the weather on the roof opening some crabs! Service was really attentive. The crabs had so much meat! We got a dozen large crabs. The apps were also good. I really liked the crab dip. Though the dip was good with the pretzel bread it comes with, it was also good dipping the french fries in! My family came to visit and wanted crabs so we came here and they had such a good time

    I guess L P Steamers had an off night or I just ordered wrong. It was a long day and my last night in Baltimore. I can't leave the city without having crabs! I was tired so I settled on crab cakes. I found parking on the street, be careful because in front of the restaurant is a bus stop. Walking inside, I pretty much have a place to myself. I'm seated by the waitress and I'm given a menu. I was going to order crab cakes but I see a fried seafood platter with a single crab cake. Sold! I ordered a Summer Shanty beer as well to get the party started. Y'all, the fish was over fried. The clam strips, some were crunchy and the fried oysters had a fishy taste. The crab cake was good but the shell was over cooked. I ate what I could, I paid the check and left quickly. Did they have an off night? Perhaps. If you're here, I'd go for anything but the fried fish.

    Calamari

    We were in town and I wanted my son to have Maryland blue crabs but we were a little late going out. I called and they said they still had crabs. The calamari could've been cooked longer everything else was good.

    Menu as of April 2026

    We came for lunch to try some of the famous blue crabs. We ordered the boh't load of food, a c asae salad and the kids got popcorn shrimp with fries. The combo came with 4 medium crabs, 4 oysters, 4 scallops, a dozen shrimp, a dozen clams, two dozen mussels, and a lobster tail. The crabs were very heavily (overly) seasoned with old bay seasoning. The crabs we got were just ok, perhaps because it's the beginning of the season. Both the clams and mussels were overcooked and dry. The fish was also pretty heavily seasoned, likely to cover up the fishiness of the seafood. We came on a Sunday and the food didn't taste that fresh. The shrimp, scallop, and lobster tail were fine. The popcorn shrimp is heavily bartered and the shrimp themselves were very small. The Cesar salad came with very large and very crunchy croutons. Service is friendly but a bit on the slow side, considering that it wasn't that busy when we were there. It was easy to find street parking near the restaurant. Perhaps our expectations were too high. We were debating between Nicks and LP Steamers and decided to forego ambiance for better food, but we were disappointed by the food. We will try a different spot next time.

    This was a great find. We ordered crabs, crab cakes, corn and hush puppies. The server was amazing and very helpful showing us how to crack the crabs. We were able to sit on the rooftop with a view of the harbor. Everything tasted amazing! But, the hush puppies blew my mind! I would definitely recommend ordering the hush puppies! I would definitely recommend and return to LP Steamers.

    Oysters!

    Omg so delicious!! We had the Boat Load of Food with a pitcher of draft beer and a side of Old Bay fries. We specially enjoyed the scallops, mussels and lobster tail. A messy but enjoyable eat. Service was pretty quick and thoughtful. They were kind enough to have run to our car before we left to let us know my mom had left her purse haha. What a find, will make sure to come back when in Baltimore!

    Smallest crabs you've ever seen for 12 bucks a piece uncleaned caked in dirt, cook doesn't wear gloves. NOT ACCESSIBLE: very steep stairs! Loud and cramped. Long wait times to be seated and waitresses that forget half your order. Try at your own risk.

    Delicious and fun experience. I tried the crab cakes, they were so tasty. Next, I tried one large crab. I take forever to eat crab because I get all the nooks and crannies lol grandma taught me not to waste any food, y'all! I was sad that I came at night and they had run out of the jumbo and ginormous size crabs. I love the simplicity of just eating a crab on a brown-paper-lined table so you're free to make a big mess and it's easy to clean up for them. They provide a cute little hammer to crack open the crab legs - and they sell it as well for $3. I bought one as a little souvenir because I love crab and thinking about eating it makes me happy hahaha. Overall highly recommend getting your crab fix here (or any of their other locations) if you're visiting Baltimore! Locals recommended this place to us. It's great because it's not pretentious and prices are very reasonable!

    Assuming it byob?

    They serve beer.

    Does it get busy on Sundays for lunch?

    This restaurant kid friendly?

    Yes. They have high chairs that accommodate kids that can sit up, or infant car seats. It's pretty tight, so not a lot of room for a stroller, even if folded up. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly and I'm sure they'll work with you.

    Is this in the inner harbor?

    No, they are to the southeast of the Inner Harbor, but well worth the short drive.

    Do they serve broiled crab cakes or is the only option fried?

    Either way, they have 'em

    Do I need to make a reservation for dining in?

    When I ate there last week they recommended calling about 20 mins before you're planning on arriving to cut down your wait time

    Can you have separate check for the same table?

    Yes. But a check can only be split up to 5 ways .

    Do they have jumbo lump crab cakes? I don't see it in their menu

    Yes our Crabcakes are made with lump and colossal (which is bigger than jumbo lump)

    Any recommendations on parking in the area?

    I have never had a problem finding nearby street parking on, or just off, Fort Ave.

    Does anyone know the recipe for THE B'MORE RANCH SERVED WITH THE OLD BAY FRIES?

    It's top secret ;) ssshhhh It's:…

The seafood was fresh, generously portioned, and seasoned just right, making it a fun and satisfying meal to share. What made the experience even better was the outstanding staff. Everyone was incredibly attentive, friendly, and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed and taking the time to answer our questions with a smile.

We immediately asked the hostess for a different table. She told as that the three booths and the six other two-tops were all reserved. She left us with no attempt at an apology and promptly put reserved signs on all the open tables. When we left an hour later, one booth and 4 two-tops had never been used. Much to our dismay, we saw people seated outside even though we had received a text before arriving saying the patio was closed for the evening. To add insult to injury, even half empty, the noise level was so uncomfortable since everything was tile, marble, or wood that the alarm sensor on my smart watch sounded because of the decibel level. We will not be back.

The crab cake was very bland and the mustard sauce didn't help much. The fries were decent. The calamari lacked flavor as well. The plate I left behind didn't look too much different than what you see in the photo. I also couldn't finish the drink - couldn't believe how BAD it was. It had the taste of an attempt at fruity medicine. The bad service continued when my aunt - who had to send her food back as it wasn't prepared her instructions and she has allergies - didn't get served again until it was time for us to ask for the bill. And it was still wrong. Needless to say, I will pass on this place every time I'm in Baltimore in the future.
