You can tell this place has a lot of history behind it, and I love the location too. It's such a vibe to sit here with a lobster roll. Their fries are also delicious -- I asked for aioli even though it doesn't come with them originally, and their housemade aioli was so worth asking for. Highly recommend doing the same! And again, apparently BTS booked the whole place out for a day!!! That should tell you everything. Would absolutely come back.

Thames Street is a quaint, intimate spot by the water to grab seafood. Our overall experience was…read morejust okay. As soon as we walked in, you are hit with a very potent smell of seafood, not in an appetizing way. After waiting like 15 minutes past our reservation time, we were seated upstairs. The service was decent and attentive. The food was solid. The calamari and the shrimp roll were enjoyable. My fish and chips was just okay. They did send out a dessert, on the house, since we did have to wait past our reservation time which was a nice gesture. Overall, I cannot see myself returning, especially since there are so many other options for seafood in the area.

I have been hearing so much about LP Steamers recently and I am so glad I finally got to try it…read morethis weekend. The crabs were meaty and delicious, with even the legs having meat in them. That is always my favorite part! We sat inside and upstairs, and it felt like the perfect little table escape. It wasn't too loud and food was delivered so quickly. Service was great! The prices are very reasonable for a seafood house, especially the hearty seafood platter. The lobster tail on that was amazing. My only request would be for them to actually say what kind of oysters they have, instead of saying "local oysters." They were still delicious and the perfect way to start our meal. Additionally, for being a seafood house, it was fairly clean. You are encompassed in seafood from the moment you walk in, in the best way possible. It is truly a meal you won't regret!

LP Steamers was the bomb! My friend and I got a recommendation to go here from another friend who…read moreused to work in Baltimore, so we figured we'd give it a try after going to Fort McHenry. This restaurant did not disappoint! We were seated upstairs, surrounded by people eating crabs by the dozen. Nice! However, we weren't much in the mood to fight for our meals so we got the hushpuppies and fried pickles for an appetizer and then decided to split a double crab cake platter with curly fries and coleslaw. Hushpuppies - fabulous! (Not sure how I feel about the cinnamon butter, and I like cinnamon) Fried pickles - epic! And the bmore ranch served with them? Stellar. Crab cakes - fantabulous! It was almost entirely crab with very little filler. The crab meat was sweet and succulent and just perfect. I liked the slaw - it had a tiny hint of jalepeno or something. The only thing that wasn't great were the curly fries, and it's not like they were bad. Just not fabulous. Also, the servers were very nice. The power went off while we were there and everyone just took it in stride til it kicked back in. Excellent restaurant and I'm so glad we went!

Great place for steamed crabs!! The atmosphere is fun, especially when the Ravens are playing!…read moreOutdoor seating is a great atmosphere to share with friends/family. The crabs are hot and seasoned well. Only disappointment was the size. We wanted X-large crabs but they only had large and mediums. Unfortunately, the large crabs looked like medium sized crabs. Also, we tried the calamari and fish n chips however neither were seasoned. We also had some cocktails but they were watered down. So, if you decide to order a cocktail you may want to stick with something bottled. The only cocktail that was tasty was the Rum Punch.

Loved this restaurant!…read more Came out here from the DMV and met one of my friends here based off a recommendation. Thankfully, I was in no shape or form disappointed! Nick's was easy to find and I was able to find a parking spot near the restaurant. I absolutely loved everything concerning the decor of the place. You have an option to have some views of the ocean or sit inside which seemed nice as well. We were greeted by our host and promptly sat. There was live band playing which everyone enjoyed and added to the happiness of it being a Friday. For food, I ordered the crab cake sandwich with the Chesapeake French fries. We also ordered the egg rolls for appetizers. Everything was delicious, seasoned perfectly and great sides. I will definitely be back and can't wait to have the Maryland crabs!

Faidley's Seafood in the new Lexington Market absolutely lived up to its reputation. Everything we…read moreordered was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care. The Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes were the star of the meal--packed with large pieces of sweet crab meat, lightly seasoned, and cooked to perfection with very little filler. The Haddock was fresh, flaky, and perfectly fried with a light, crispy coating. We also ordered the Pot Boil with crabs, shrimp, and snow crab legs, and it did not disappoint. 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. Their excellent service truly elevated the entire dining experience. If you're visiting Baltimore and love fresh seafood, Faidley's at the new Lexington Market is a must-visit.

I was super excited to try Faidley's after doing a lot of research, so it was my first stop after…read morelanding in Baltimore. I was only there for a short time, and this restaurant was at the top of my list. When we arrived, a very pleasant staff member greeted us. She was patient, knowledgeable about the menu, and even let us sample the soups before we ordered. We got the jumbo lump crab cake, clam chowder, shrimp-stuffed crab, greens, macaroni and cheese, and coleslaw. As a seafood lover, I thought the food was absolutely delicious--an easy 10 out of 10. The staff inside also provided great customer service. Unfortunately, the rest of our experience was disappointing. The patio was the only area with regular seating; inside, the tables are standing tables. We were eating on the patio when the owner came out and took the hot sauce bottle, explaining that we couldn't keep it at the table. She offered to bring us some hot sauce to go, which was fine. About 10 minutes later, she returned and said the patio would need to close soon. It was around 4 p.m., and the restaurant closes at 5:30, so we were surprised. We acknowledged her and continued eating. About 15 minutes later, she came back and asked if we wanted to-go boxes. At that point, we told her we felt rushed. She said she needed to close and lock up the patio. We told her there was no sign posted saying the patio closed early and asked how we were supposed to know. She dismissed our concern and casually replied, "Well, I guess I can put one up." I believe the owner's name was Nancy, but one of the workers inside told us her name was Eve. That interaction took away from what had started as a great meal. We had traveled about 40 minutes by Uber, spent over $100, and explained that this was our first visit to Baltimore and the first stop on our itinerary. Even though the food was a 10 out of 10, customer service triumphs over the food for me. I'm spending my hard-earned money, and I expect to feel welcome while doing so. It's sad to say, but I will not be returning.

He struck up a conversation with me and just has bartender aura. Now on to Yaya. She is really good. Personable. Friendly. Knows her stuff. I was there on 1/2 price mussels. I'm in! I started with a cup of the seafood chowder as Yaya recommended it over the cream of crab. Great choice. Flavorful. Veggies, seafood, and bacon a really nice combo. On to the mussels. Chose the white wine garlic over the Cajun butter and Old Bay butter options, again based on Yaya's recommendation. She said, as much as she loves Old Bay, just too salty on the mussels. These mussels were awesome. The cook knows, if a mussel doesn't open, don't serve it. All were opened and I assume they throw out the ones that don't. A great look! Place is very cool looking. Meet bar. Tables outside. It was slow as I was there for lunch at 2:00 but all in all a really good place and hope you get to meet Yaya if you come in. I am in the BWI area for business every 6 weeks. I have a new go to place, especially on Wednesdays for 1/2 price mussels!!!

These are the best happy hour oysters we've found in the area so far, and the crab dip was also the best we've had around Baltimore. The seafood in general was all very fresh. Our server, I believe his name was Pedro, was amazing - so kind, attentive, and on top of everything the entire time. Great food, great service, and great happy hour. My only regret is not coming here sooner! We'll definitely be back.

Great meal at great restaurant and I look forward to coming back soon to try some other food here…read more A couple reasons for this not being a five-star review, first of all somewhere along the way our server left and another server took her place and we're not sure why but once the other server took over which luckily was right before dessert things slowed down to a snail's pace. It took forever for us to get our desserts and then the same to get our check. Not really sure why our server disappeared halfway through the meal, but she did. Secondly, I ordered a catfish sandwich which was delicious but I ordered it with no tartar sauce and our server said that that's the way she put it down but the kitchen didn't prepare it that way they prepared it with tartar sauce slathered all over the sandwich which I promptly sent back. Not being a big oyster fan, I did get a couple of raw oysters and actually really enjoyed them and will be back to have more in the future. My mom had the snakehead which was very delicious but also a very small portion for the amount that we paid. The website indicated that for those who are gluten-free, like my mom, the menu had stars on them but the menu that we had did not nor was there a menu with stars indicating what is or could be made gluten free. The ambiance of the restaurant was really nice. We chose to eat outside because it wasn't too hot and we could sit under cover and enjoy the beautiful June weather. It was nice inside but it didn't look to be a very large area inside and could have been very noisy with the high ceilings. Not sure willl try in the future and report at that time. There are many things on the menu that I want to try so I will definitely be back. If you love oysters come here and they won't disappoint. I definitely recommend giving this place a try. Aside from the two issues that I experienced, they were minor in the scheme of things and I will definitely be back.

Food was excellent and everything I was expecting. Seafood tasted fresh and well seasoned. We tried a variety of the menu and it kept getting better. Drinks were bold which I love. The Bodega Kitty got the job done. Food we tried: - Moules Frites - Hot Honey Old Bay Wings - Lamb Chops - Volcano Charbroiled Oysters The food was great but my favorite part of the visit were the people. We sat at the bar on a Friday night and the service was excellent. Servers were attentive, asked and answered questions about the menu, gave recommendations of things to do in the city. Felt like I was talking to cousins. Polite and kind.

Urban Oyster is a surprising find and must try…read more Because of the name, I made a presumption that it is an oyster bar with an expansive seafood offering. Although it is not that in the traditional sense and more of a raw bar, I like that the seafood offerings are more focused and curated. And if you dont eat seafood, you will be able find plenty of options. I tried the wings, snapper bites, and collards/cabbage. The food was really good. Everything was cooked to the perfect temperature and texture. The HH specials are a great deal. I sat at the bar and service was really good. The restaurant space is very well done, nicely decorated, and beautiful. Its a great place for a date or nice night out. Definitely check it out!!!
