[[HIGHLIGHT]]Visited Loafers on a Friday around 5:30 PM for happy hour and it was very crowded with limited parking, but I found a spot nearby since it's in a shopping center.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was fun with a DJ, and everyone seemed to be having a great time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was good. I had buffalo shrimp, wings, and a pepperoni flatbread. My drink was strong. Service was still fast even with the place packed. Prices were reasonable. I'd visit again, just not on a Friday. read more

Met a friend here who didn't want to drive into Baltimore. Originally, we planned to get the steamed crabs but didn't realize they are expensive this season. We got the fried catfish and the shrimp & chicken & crab dip flatbread. Both were very tasty! Our server, Marcus, was also great. When we sat down, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the music was so loud that it was hard to talk over but asked if they could possibly turn down a notch and they did and was perfect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I went on a Wednesday for happy hour. This is a great place. There were a lot of regulars there. There are two bars inside. The service was great. Staff was attentive and checked on me regularly. They have karaoke every Wednesday and a day party every Friday from 12pm-6pm. Now let's get into the food. The drink was strong. Just what I needed. The honey old bay wings were crispy and well seasoned. And the potato skins were so delicious. read more

Did they take the lamb chops off the menu? The menu is so limited now. They used to have an amazing crab cake and lamb chop combo, but ever since the new owner took over, they changed the entire menu. It just isn't the same anymore. They got rid of some of the best items and replaced them with a much smaller selection. If they keep going in this direction, they're going to lose a lot of loyal customers. read more

Just ratchet! Food was less than mid, seafood baked potato had one sliver of crab. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Way too many people it was definitely a fire hazard at the day party I attended.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Took forever to get my check!!There was also this lady dressed a if she was from a dance battle in 2002 selling 2000's style hats.

Went on a Tuesday night for some good food and drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm told this place gets live and also has a dj.

My friend got the snow crab legs. My pasta was actually really good. I was slightly surprised lol. The chicken was seasoned well. They definitely didn't skimp on the sauce either! read more

Been going to loafers for years It was better before the fire but they are finally fixing it. I like that they added outdoor patio this summer.

The food was amazing! This was my first time going. We tried to go another time but there was a day party so we had no way to sit down and eat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I would say if you want somewhere chill this is probably not a good place as there is music playing and they have a lot of parties.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But if you don't mind that or like the environment I would say give it a try.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's a lot of options for both food and drinks. Also our server was quick and efficient. Definitely Will be back. read more

Went here last night. I forgot that it was the night of the Tank Davis fight so there was a $20 cover charge to get in. 3 out of our party of four were here so, they kindly seated us. We ordered drinks and then food. It took some time for them to come out because it was pretty busy. Our server was friendly. I enjoyed my drinks and my appetizer sampler shown in my photos. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a nice mature crowd.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone was able to enjoy the fight while being able to eat and drink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would like to return and try other food and drinks that they offer.

This wasn't the first visit, but the first in a long time. As usual, my sidekick - husband was with me and we opted for this joint. Entering, only 1/2 of the place was open to guests as the other area that has a larger bar was closed. likely opening for the dinner/true Happy Hour crowd. We were offered the regular menu and the lunch menu. Lunch specials were of interest, but I was enamored with the crab pretzel, asking if what the menu stated was accurate before ordering. The bartender/waitress stated it had lump crab and cheese, however, upon receipt, it was more cheese than crab for $19. I didn't complain because it was still tasty - but I'm not sure $19 tasty. I ordered my usual cocktail - Appletini with cherries and before leaving, I had a second! The jumbo fried shrimp was well seasoned and fried a little hard, but it was delicious and edible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was clean and well kept[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and [[HIGHLIGHT]]as with prior visits, I'll be back because it's usually a great vibe and time!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I ordered through doordash and we all know how unreliable the food can be on doordash. BUT this restaurant was the bomb! This restaurant cooked me a full 10 minutes before they close and it was perfection! The salmon with crab imperial on top was absolutely phenomenal! Every bite delicious. Southwest egg rolls and and seafood casadilla were right on the mark! AND AND their prices are reasonable compared to other seafood restaurants. Great job! I will be back and I'm gonna tell anybody who will listen how good their food is. Thanks for a great meal. read more

Been wanting to visit this restaurant for some time so decided to go there today. It's a seafood sport bar kind of place. So in addition to seafood they had typical sport bar food like burgers etc. I was hoping to order some fresh blue crabs that they offer year-round. But at $50 for just 6 "large" crabs, $90/dozen, it was simply too high to justify, as much as I like blue crabs. So I ordered fish and chips, which was more reasonably priced for my wallet. The service is friendly and courteous but very slow. When I was finally seated, my server handed me a menu and a glass of water but she never asked if I wanted to order anything else to drink. The fish and chips arrived, but then I had to wait 5 minutes in order to flag my server for a fork and tarter sauce. Food wise, the fish was good, no great, cut into fish sticks which are ok if I wanted to eat with my fingers or for dipping. The fries were good, natural, not coated fries. The cole slaw was very good, freshly made, crisp with just a hint of sweetness. Bottom line for me, the food was ok, not great, some items were out of my price range, service was friendly but not very good. The majority of the seating is high, bar height metal stools that, for me, was very uncomfortable after a while. Oh, and they automatically added 18% tip to your bill. I don't see any compelling reason to return. read more

1st time and definitely not my last time visiting this establishment. Hubby and I decided to stop here after a stressful evening of furniture shopping. I've been wanting to visit for awhile as I've heard great things about this place from hubby and gf's who have visited for game days, crabs and hh's. Parking lot was a fair size. Indoor bar areas were spacious and clean. There are 2 spacious bar areas. Very accommodating. Hot tops galore, options galore. Plenty of flat screen tv's to catch sports and viewable from any seat in the place. We were immediately greeted by Jason who was very pleasant. We ordered, he delivered. We ordered the Loafer's Peach Tea, Chicken Baltimore and Cajun Salmon. The food came out picture perfect and hot. Everything was so plentiful and good. The flavoring used on everything was everything. I'll be back for crabs sooner than later. I inquired about the MP for Large Male Crabs and they were $94/ Dozen. That's a darn great price these days. Job Well Done Loafer's!! You def live up to your hype !! read more

Came for a quick bite, right before happy hour with a friend of mine . The place had just opened up and was completely empty . Music was very low. We sat at the bar . The bartender /server was very stand-offish . Not only did he have ear pods in his here , but he failed to check on us throughout our stay . I ordered the fish and chips which was pretty good . The drinks we had were definitely on point . read more

Arrived a little bit after 11 on a Friday night. One of the only restaurants still open at this time. No cover. Got a table with no wait. Our waitresses' personality was great but we didn't see her for longgg periods of time. Perhaps they are short staffed but we were nearly falling asleep waiting for basic things (blue cheese, utensils, and even my friends food that was never ordered) My friend ordered a Shrimp Imperial along with her appetizer. We waited over half hour for it and when we finally got the waitresses attention she said "oh shit" and then only asked my friend what sides she wanted. So clearly, she never put her order in. Another 35+ mins go by and we just wanted everything to go They have chicken wings that are not advertised on the menu because of a misspelling or something. Anyway, they are 10 wings for $16. I wasn't hungry but wanted wings so she said I could do 5 for $8. Those wings were TINY AF and the celery and carrots were hot. sigh. They automatically add in 18% gratuity to bills so know this before hand! We only found out after I sent the receipt to my phone. Even with the slowwwwwwwwwwwwww ass service we tipped, but had I of known it was automatic I would not have. read more

Despite the bartender Keith! This place has went to a 8 to a 3! The quality of food is piss poor and when I brought it to the managers attention she said well you ate it! Nonetheless of her non chalet self to see that I disgracefully packed it up! She was not willing to compensate nor listen to my complaint That the snow crab legs and salmon entree was dry and not up to par as usual. It's disappointing as a regular to be treated like this!! 80.00 for nothing!! Won't be back!!! read more

Hadn't been here since the fire a few years ago. Was excited to visit again for some good food and girl time. Service was mediocre. We were a party of 4. Gratuity is included regardless so I felt like our server didn't try hard at all. We constantly ran out of ice tea and water at out table. Our food came out but we never received utensils and waited more than 7 minutes for those before we could eat. I ordered a Greek Salad and paid extra to have it as a side but it was a garden salad. I had to ask for olives and feta cheese. Crab cake was decent. There was a DJ but he consistently used profanity the entire time he was on the microphone. Didn't love his style or methods. Crabs were large and flavorful. Loved those. Parking is easy. Bathrooms were clean. If I'm in the area I may stop in for some crabs but not a place I intend to frequent. read more

Me and my mother haven't been to Loafers since they rebuilt after they burned down. So we decided to give them a try this past October for happy hour, after our massages from Turf Valley Soa in Ellicott City. The outside of Loafers looks boring, but to our surprise, the inside looked beautiful and a nice size bar area that's about the length of the restaurant. We ordered our drinks a cosmo for her and a Moscow mule for myself. Our bar tender hooked our drinks up, so good that we ordered another. Along with the drunks, we ordered some cheesestrak egg rolls, as well as southwest egg rolls. The southwest egg rolls were light and crispy per usual, but their cheesesteak egg rolls were soicy, heavy, and DELICIOUS!!!! We'll definitely be back!! read more

We came here one Thursday evening when we were in the area- my husband said he always passed this place and wanted to give it a try. We went in knowing nothing about it, although my husband thought it would be more "bar food." The ambiance inside was a little confusing- there was a small but active bar crowd and even some security guards in the bar area, while the dining area right next to it (with an open wall) was going more for a "nice seafood restaurant" vibe. We ordered the crab pretzel ($19) and cheesesteak egg rolls ($13) for appetizers. For meals, I got the chicken fingers appetizer ($13) and my husband got a seafood penne dish ($30). The waitress asked if I wanted to have fries with my chicken fingers and I said sure ($5). We also both got iced tea ($6.50 for two). I would say the food was all very mediocre, although the pasta dish was surprisingly good, and my husband was impressed with the amount of crab and other seafood in the dish. The rest of the dishes weren't bad, just not particularly good. The meal was notably overpriced, in my opinion, and they also added on an automatic 18% gratuity ($15.57). Our waitress was nice, but the service wasn't particularly amazing- we only managed one drink refill despite drinking quickly, and there were often lags between requests (e.g., boxes for the food to go) and receiving the items. But the waitress was nice, and honestly we probably would have tipped her a similar amount, but an automatic gratuity carries a different standard in my opinion. The whole meal after tax and tip was about $107. We don't regret giving it a try, although I think we both winced at the price tag of the experience, but neither of us have any desire to come back. If you come, maybe give more of the seafood dishes a try, since the pasta was pretty good. read more

I went to loafer on 10/12 and had a great experience food was good. I went again 10/20 to get crab legs again. This experience was NOT GOOD. The host told asked if I wanted to sit upfront or go to the bar area. I said I would go to the bar area. The host told he to just go back there and me and a friend did. This was around 5:05 pm on 10/20 when I got back there I asked the "lady" can I just sit anywhere. She replied "since you just walk right by the host I guess you can sit anywhere" I was done needless to say. If I did walk pass the host, its not her job to get nasty with me after all she does not assist in paying my bill by my money is a contributor to hers and the business. I understand how my money works and I opted to just leave and take my few hundred dollar elsewhere. I challenge the manger to contact me via email to explain. normjmc@yahoo.com read more

I've been going to loafers for years and I really enjoy the times I've had there. Last night I was surprised about the service I received from my waiter Cedric. He was inattentive and when asked about a item I had ordered that didn't come out with the other appetizers his response was " what about it" I was blown away. Our drinks took a long time to get to the table. The quality of the food was not the same at all. The best thing about the night wasn't the food or the service but the entertainment (the crowd) and music. read more

Beer battered fish should actually be battered, not breaded. Fries should have some crunch to them, not just barely not raw. On the other hand boneless chicken wings are flavorful and juicy and onion rings are beautifully battered and crispy. Margarita was good. Server dropped off food, and didn't return until she asked if we wanted to go boxes. Also, don't have cheap paint on the tables that peels off onto customers. Do better Loafers read more

I came to loafers for a huge celebration, which consisted of about 45 people who took up the majority of restaurant's main dining area. To my surprise, there was only one server assigned to the entire party, and the server also had other tables to wait on. I'm not sure of their process for large parties, but the the one I experienced was a hot mess. We didn't get drinks for 40+ minutes -- the waitress just could not keep up with the volume of orders being placed. I wasn't mad at the server, but I did expect her to be a little apologetic about the process. She knew it was out of her control and acted as such the entire time, rarely offering reassurance that food was cooking or apologizing for forgetting drinks. It took almost an hour for a house salad to come out. With all of that said, the food was very good when it finally arrived at the table. I will try this place again, but I will not be coming to any more large events as it doesn't seem to be their forte. read more

Warning to former Loafers patrons: it's not the same! Say what you want about the old Loafers, but the drinks, service and food was always on point. I was elated to hear that Loafers quietly reopened after the big fire a few years ago. Once I entered, I knew some foolishness was about to ensue lol. The renovation sucks. It's very....bland... and drab looking now. The original charm is no longer there. The service sucked! The bar was packed so we opted to sit at a table. Horrible decision! It took forever to get acknowledged and mind you several servers passed us to help surrounding tables. After flagging down a young man, we were finally able to place our orders. Automatic 18% gratuity that they didn't even have to work for smh. The menu is much smaller, and they focus on seafood now I guess. Some of my favorite items were no more, and the prices are higher than they were in the past. Drinks were cool, food was edible. We just ordered wings and fries. It took forever to get our food. Server wasn't very attentive either. Busboys were confused and kept bringing the wrong orders. They no longer have a DJ, just a loud juke box. That was a thumbs down for me. Don't waste your time at Loafers unless you're into chaotic environments, mediocre food/drinks, and poor service. read more

Post-fire construction has got to be paid, I get that. But the prices have gone nuts compared to what they were... and the happy hour is not on par to what it was (menu in pics). Where's the discounted lemon drops?!? I made a visit with co-workers on Wed. 3/9/22. Our server Keith was attentive and answered all our group's questions. He said they have more customers on the weekends, and I hope so since the bartop was only half full. The food we got looked good-- I couldn't get a pic of the shrimp tacos that were ordered because it was eaten so fast. I hope they can readjust between the old and new prices as they get busier. read more

I have been to Loafers a couple of times now and I always had mixed feelings about this place but now it's tipping toward the unfavorable side. The food is great but the service is spotty. Sometimes, it's good but my most recent visit was not the greatest. I tried to be understandable about it being the servers first week but she would disappear when she was needed and messed our checks up. I was overcharged for a drink and it took her a while to fix it, mainly because she felt it was more important to text than work. I caught her a couple of times texting while making it look like she was putting orders into the system. The drinks are expensive and not even worth it. For a casual sports bar, I don't understand why the drinks are so pricey. Some drinks make more sense to order as a bucket because the price of the regular size was a waste, especially when the bucket holds more drink. Also, they didn't charge cover in the past so why is there a cover at 9pm? I mean, I understand it gets live later at night on the weekends and they have a dj but it's a restaurant. There isn't really anywhere to dance! On the positive, they have bomb crab and shrimp quesadillas! read more
