Lamberts Seafood has that great neighborhood bar vibe going for it. Drinks are strong and the daily specials are a nice touch. Plenty of parking outside too, which is always a win. A couple of things to know before you go: it gets loud and crowded, and service can slow down a bit during busy stretches, so pack a little patience. Also, their brand selection depends on availability, so it's worth calling ahead if you're hoping for something specific. Food is usually solid, and overall it's a fun, lively spot. Recommend it if you're in the mood for good seafood and a laid-back atmosphere. read more

We saw the social media posts about the strong drinks and laid back atmosphere and wanted to see if this local spot lived up to the hype. Our waitress was bubbly and friendly. We ordered a H20 (Long Island with sprite instead of coke), the half Maryland crab soup and half crab of crab soup, affectionately called the bipartisan soup, wings and mozzarella sticks. The soup was delicious. While the wings and mozzarella sticks were cooked well, they had an old oil taste to them. The drink was good but not as strong as we expected. Overall, Lamberts is a good place to grab a drink and a quick bite. Not sure if we will return though. read more

Lamberts is the perfect hole in the wall neighborhood gem. Great for HH and there is Karaoke on Wednesday nights and it's for people who can* sing. It's perfect for watching a game surrounded by community. For the drinks, you'll get more than your money's worth. Food is pretty good. Serving up wings seafood options and all of it is good. Parking is tough during sports events and HH. Come for down home vibes & super friendly bar tenders! read more

Finally got the opportunity to stop at Lamberts Rear bar the bartenders were cool and gave good recommendations. We ordered old bay wings(baked), steamed shrimp, bacon wrapped scallops, catfish bites (swai) with hush puppies and fries. While overall we enjoyed ourselves and the company that was around us, I was really disappointed that my catfish wasn't really catfish and yes I'm one of those people that can tell the difference!!! read more

This is a cool spot located in Lanham in the cut. I stopped by for happy hour to grab some wings and a drink. I ordered honey old bay wings and they tasted so fresh and were cooked to perfection. They have $8 wings from 4-7. I ordered a margarita which was made by Jessica, she did her thing--yum. I promise she made that drink in less than a minute. The bar was close to full but people were moving along and not holding chairs for hours. The vibe was nice, seemed to be a mixed crowd. I've seen reviewers say that the service was slow here, however I didn't experience the same service. My chicken arrived about 10 minutes after k placed my order and as I said above, my drink was made in a minute or less. There is a restaurant section to this place, however it was closed during my visit. They also had really good music.I would return again. read more

My Lamberts has been very aggressive with advertising lately. As they only have the front dining room open limited hours. That is a head scratch scobby do moment. You barley can handle the regular customers in the back and you trying to pull in more? I have stopped by twice in the last month and had to go somplace else since you were full in the bar at the back. And since that customer is local they dont leave right away. You were my go to but it looks like l need a new local joint. That hurts my soul. Maybe Remingtons? read more

Just awful! Not worth your time or money.the service is sloppy, food uneatable no ambiance,

I got to say, my recent experiences are leagues above what they used to be. So there have been a few changes since the last time I came. For one, the main dining area of the restaurant is closed off by some bench, and there is this big back area with a giant bar and a bunch of high and low tables. There is no sign that specifically says to go back there, but honestly there is nowhere else to go. But if you just follow the corridor you will see a door that may or may not be open. Go through it and you are where you are supposed to be. Anyways, I think the spot still has regulars, but I have seen a lot more people closer to my age and I don't feel so out of place. Also the staff are really friendly. The happy hour specials are great and overall the food is reasonably priced outside of that too. And I mentioned that I couldn't have more than one drink because of how strong they are?! read more

I've been a couple times before but I came specifically for happy hour to grab a few drinks. I love the atmosphere and the drinks are always strong. read more

Saw their garlic Parmesan wings on TikTok and decided to go try. Got a half and half order of GP and buffalo. Unfortunately, I was not impressed. The wings were overall too large for my liking and the flavor just wasn't totally there. The people who work there are extremely nice and accommodating though. Still a great place to hang out at the bar and have a few small bites. read more

Lamberts - Garlic Parmesan x Buffalo Wings - Seafood Near Me - Glenn Dale, Maryland

I've gone to this place many times--for lunch, for dinner, and on different days of the week--and it's consistently a great spot. In fact, everyone I've recommended it to has become a fan. If you're looking for an inexpensive meal with a simple menu, this is it. I'd especially recommend the seafood soups; they run about $9 a portion, but they're absolutely worth it. The bicentennial soup is a great mix, and they also have a nice crab soup. The drinks are generously poured, and I've found the patrons to be friendly, which adds to the casual vibe. Now for a few a drawbacks. The popularity is a curse because parking is very limited. The restaurant is tucked into a tiny shopping center that barely lives up to the name, with just a couple of other carry-outs and a church. If you're not paying attention, you'll drive right past it. My advice is to skip the hassle and park over in the Giant lot and take the short walk over. Don't come here for the atmosphere; the surroundings aren't much to look at. However, if you want a consistently tasty, no-frills meal that won't break the bank, this place is a solid choice. read more

I am a seafood lover so I'm always craving shrimp and crab legs. Well, I went to another place nearby and their prices were too high. So, a random guy outside that place recommended Lamberts. My thoughts: PROS: reasonably priced, a lot of menu options, local business that has a lot of different activities during the week. I heard it is "The Black Cheers". Apparently everyone knows your name... CONS: Service was super slow, and it wasn't busy. The actual restaurant looks outdated and rundown. Right outside the place was a lot of trash on the ground, just dirty and filthy. The seafood was just OKAY...not spectacular. I probably will not be going back because I have better options for my seafood cravings. read more

Decent food. Strong drinks. Been here a few times. Good service. Can get pretty packed during busy times like HH.

Great Restaurant period. Great food!!! Great people and everybody is nice and pleasant. read more

I wish this place was closer because it's just that good! This is my favorite happy hour spot because you can get good food at a low price. The drinks are huge as well! read more

Lamberts is an oldie but a goodie. It's been quite some time since I have been here. We opted to eat in the bar area which is located in the back. There's definitely a "Cheers" vibe. You can tell there are regulars that the staff is used to catering to. I ordered a platter with a crab cake, fish, shrimp, and sides. The coleslaw was just okay and my baked potato could have been cooked longer. The fried crab cake was too greasy for me however it was loaded with crab meat without filler. The broiled shrimp were my favorite. read more

A no frills modern-day Cheers-like neighborhood bar. Pretty good food and even better drinks.

This is a hidden but popular spot. Not exactly a speakeasy but I wouldn't have known it was here until someone told me. I came for happy hour, and even on a Thursday afternoon, parking was tight but eventually found a spot. I saw some folks parking on the street and walking in. Seems like this place has been around for awhile. You can tell the regulars. I wasn't hungry so I didn't get any food. I had a drink and trust me, that was all that was needed. They pour heavy! I definitely love a good hole in the wall and this is just that. No need to get fancy in here. Come as you are! I would come back for a strong drink and chill vibes. read more

My first time was yesterday, May 17th, and the food, drinks, and atmosphere was great! Crabs were nice, big, and meaty! The wings, oysters, hush puppies everything i ate was delicious. I will be going back! read more

The ONLY reason you come here, is for drinks. That is it, that is all. The food available is mid-grade at its best, but... when you get 2-3 drinks in, I guess others don't mind? I'm not sure, but no thank you. If I'm looking for food to soak up the heavy drinks that they do indeed provide, please - get food from another spot. read more

Baked Seafood Combo was spot on! Crab cake, Cod, 3 huge buttery scallops, and perfectly baked shrimp. Everything was fresh, seasoned right, and cooked perfectly. The tater tots reminded me of elementary school! I didn't really care for the coleslaw. The young lady who took my order was super sweet. I forget sometimes Lamberts is more than a bar, they've got bangin food!lol read more

Great experience at Lamberts after a really long hiatus. Lamberts is a most certainly a staple in the Lanham/Glen Dale area...I remember as a kid I could never go to the back area but man I'm grown now and it's exactly what I pictured lol. Came for happy hour and I will say they did not disappoint. I opted for the $4 burger and although not five guys...it was most certainly better than expected. This is most certainly a neighborhood connection and that's what makes it great. Everyone is super friendly and the vibes are indeed positive. Bar area is someone tight so get there early with your crew and enjoy the stiff drinks and positivity. read more

My first impression of this place when entering it is ambiance and cleanliness. The bar area was live on a Friday and the dining room mellow enough to have a conversation. This is a small restaurant similar to a mom's and pops spot. The dining room area we sat at had two tables that were in eyesight not cleared for a while, and I mean almost 10 minutes after sitting. Although we did not sit there it was across from our dining table. Also, it took a while for a waiter to come and we had to flag down the hostess to request someone take our order. The food was not that good for folks to claim they specialize in seafood. I had a chef salad as a side, only thing tasty, and two crab cakes along with seafood salad (+$2, highly not recommended). I also was informed that the French fries, my first side pic after asking about the cut, is not recommended. Like who doesn't recommend potatoes, it must not be tasty as well. I will not be returning. read more

This is such a fun local bar. The seafood is really fresh and I haven't had a bad meal. It's always packed and they are always having some type of event like karaoke or games on. No frills, but good food and better drinks read more

This was my first time at this establishment. I was a bit concerned within the first couple of minutes due to some service elements and the timeframe in which it took us to be greeted. The ambiance wasn't the greatest. The place was recommended to my friend & I due to the reviews of having great food. Sadly, we were not able to experience any food from the menu. By the time we were greeted with service (and given 1 menu to share) we just ordered drinks to decompress and think about food. During what I would estimate about a 45 minute visit, no one came back to check-in, follow-up or take food ordering. In fact, during this time, the Chef came to make an announcement about it being last call in the kitchen. We asked for the check and decided not to stay. Between requesting the check and finally paying, that too was another additional 12-15 minutes added to the wait time. Concluding our visit the bartender came to say goodbye but this was the second time during our full visit that we saw her. She was shocked when we told her briefly that all we had to "eat" was the Gin & Tonic. I enjoyed the music but I don't think I'll be returning. read more

Just got home from dinner at Lamberts. This is a true neighborhood bar. If you're looking for ambiance to hang with your friends and have some drinks, it's a good choice. No frills, incredibly slow service, but they have TVs and a good buzz. There were very few prices on the menu with most things saying "$MP" (market price). The dining room is not open, so only the bar or carry out. We arrived around 5pm on a Saturday evening and seated ourselves. Getting one of the 2 bartenders attention was tough, but we ordered nachos, mac n cheese bites, hush puppies and their bipartisan soup for $9 (half cream of crab, half maryland crab). Generally speaking, it all falls under bar food and everything was good enough to have another bite. A glass of red 19 crimes wine was $8, a pint of bud light was $3.75, and a marg was $9.50. Would I go back? Sure but no need to sprint back. There is plenty of parking around the building if not right in front. read more

Always a good time at Lambert's. But know that you may be waiting a while for your drink and to order your food. However, the atmosphere is vibrant and the people are nice and the food... Delicious every time. I was sad that they didn't have the chicken salad that I wanted but the burger did its justice as did the grilled wings and oyster rock read more

I like the atmosphere; however, the room temperature is bad. The air conditioner wasn't powerful enough for the room. The back bar bathroom feels as if I'm in a sauna. read more

The drinks are large & strong but the service is straight up trash and the food is super subpar. Lamberts is a local strip mall dive bar staple that is going down hill. I sat at the bar for ten minutes without even being offered a glass of water when a good 3-4 bartender/waitresses walked passed me, not even cleaning the empty glasses that sat in front of me. They were all too busy being laser focused processing lottery numbers from their senior ole faithful regulars. Eventually I had to wave my hand to get one of their attention and of course she placed the blame game stating she thought the other girl was taking care of me. It was cool and convenient for me to stop in for a quick cocktail pre covid when my office was around but I REFUSE to drive out of my way using up all my premium gas for some greasy food & even greasier service. read more

Aight so BOOM I was invited out for drinks..food..& good Gems with my boo Ok so short story about oysters: As a child my Grandad TRAUMATIZED ME!! He would fry them up & they smelled just like fried chicken!! And baby I took a bite & that texture in my mouth was HORRIBLE!! So I just recently started to appreciate oysters as an adult & BABY THESE WERE GOOD This was actually my first time at Lambert's & I can guarantee you it won't be my last!! The mussels had a broth that was to die for..that crusty garlic bread to sop up them juices Now to that DRANK!!! Lately my tease is a whiskey sour with Jameson whiskey & it did not disappoint! Y'all please go straight to the bar & ask for Queen!! She is gonna HOOK YOU UP!! read more

The good was absolutely delicious. The hush puppies were a lil under cooked. Still enjoyed the food

Went here because I was looking for a bar to watch football. The bartenders were very friendly and also good looking. Lol. They made sure I had top notch service. Plenty of TV screens and seating at the bar. However the food wasn't all that good. Now all I got was wings and potato skins, but they lacked flavor and the wings were not fried hard enough, but it's specialty is seafood, so I won't be too hard on them. Also, it's very difficult trying to exit the lot. People are flying down Lanham Severn road, but I will be back to try the seafood. read more

I've been meaning to get to this place forever! Finally, a friend invited me to have a drink and a bite here, so I obliged :) The restaurant is located in a strip mall that was very non-descript - blink and you will pass it - on Lanham-Severn Rd. There's a private parking lot that wraps around the strip mall for convenience. So this place is definitely a hole in the wall, so don't come for ambience lol They do have a cool happy hour where the bartenders/servers serve up some pretty strong drinks! I had a rum punch that was a 1-2 punch!!! On to the food....I ordered the crab cake dinner. It was pretty decent (not the best I've had, but not bad), about average. The good news was that it easy mostly lump crabmeat with little filler. The broccoli was wack lol - what did I expect - and the hush puppies were okay too. My friend had the fried shrimp and it was pretty tasty. Overall, I would give this place 3 stars, but they get an additional star for that BOMB rum punch!! read more

I love Lamberts. I first learned about Lamberts through my boyfriend, who has been a regular here for years. Lamberts is in a shopping center, sort of hidden, so in my mind I was thinking that not too many people knew about it -- but boy was I wrong. Each and every time I have gone, Lamberts has been PACKED. It is usually an older clientele (40's-60's range), but you do have some younger folks (20's -30's) sprinkled in the mix. They have a good happy hour and daily specials each night. They also have all you can eat crabs -- which I've had once and they were pretty good. My favorite thing to order from Lamberts is the wings, breaded w/ just hot sauce. Trust me -- that is a winning order. Their breaded wings taste FRESH and SEASONED. Their XL Crabs and Large crabs are actually really good too -- they are plump and also very fresh. Also, the drinks at Lamberts are STRONG. The bartenders tend to free-pour, so there is easily 2 shots, if not more, each drink. The shots are also easily 3 shots in one. read more

They food is good and if you ate ready for a good time and party! This the place to be drinks are on point and its a whole vibe.

The fish and chips were pretty good, but they did not charge the advertised price for it or the happy hour price for the beer. The music in the bar area made for a very loud and unenjoyable experience as well. Lastly, it took several minutes for our waitress to even place a drink order and we saw her very rarely. read more

This place was a little difficult to find. It is right next to the car wash. Literally right across from it. You go through the side door that is right there. When entering, choose your side. A left will take you to the main dining room. A right will lead to you to a bar that is LIT! It is totally up to you. My friends and I took the quieter route towards the dining room. Understand, this place is in need of updates. It is not the best in looks. Looks really old school. Don't say I didn't warn you. Casual wear will do for this place. They have really Good specials!!! The drinks are strong and the food is good! I loved the waitress. She was really nice and helpful. If you do not really drink, I wouldn't order from here if I were you. My strawberry margarita was super strong. I felt the first sip! If you are a drinker, then this is the place for you. Enjoy every sip. Onward and forward... FOOD! I ordered the catfish nuggets with fries, crab balls, chicken cheesesteak with onion rings and lots of water. All of our food came out piping hot! That is a plus for me. Everything was tasty! The crab balls will have you coming back for more. My chicken cheesesteak was great! Real chicken breast diced up on a white sub. Mine had pickles, hot peppers, cheese, onions and lettuce. The potato salad and hush puppies were yummy! I had my friends crab cake and it was good too! I will say that the fried shrimp wasn't great. Maybe they should save butterflied it and then fried it. The oysters were on the small side. It was goood with the crab meat and cheese on top though. All in all... we enjoyed ourselves. I would definitely go back. Give it a try! read more

Nice eat! Good portions and cool staff. I think the only thing about this restaurant is you won't know it's there. I've been in the area for about 10 years and this is my first time hearing about it . read more
