    Fish & chips comes with your choice of two sides, french fries and coleslaw.
    Mary R.

    We came early last night to sit at the bar and drink some local Baltimore beer, notably Dundalk Calling made by the Key Brewing Company which is, of course, located in...Dundalk. I had a new item on the menu, the Rocko Tacos made from backend Rock Fish with a delicious mango, corn, and red onion salsa with a sour cream & wasabi sauce on tops-- these are Really Good! The husband had the fish and chips. And yes, we both ate fish on a Friday but no, we are not Catholic. We were just feeling fishy.

    For a Friday night the atmosphere was pretty laid back. The food took a little longer than we expected given it wasn't a busy night. Nonetheless, the food was hot when it arrived and delicious! The only downer was they didn't have any crabs.

    We sat at the bar and the bartender was very friendly and attentive. The food and atmosphere was great.

    I tried this place looking on a humble looking for a good seafood spot for a shrimp basket for lunch. I got to the spot as soon as it opened, sat at the bar and ordered my food. I ordered a side of hush puppies with my meal for an additional $1.99 which wasn't bad at all. My food came out fast, it was good, and seasoned well. To me my fries were a tad bit cooked to hard and I think the shrimp could have been bigger for the price of $16, I wonder what the jumbo shrimp looks like. I'll give it another try another day maybe a different dish.

    We called ahead for 2 dozen extra large crabs. The crabs were delicious! Perfectly cooked and great seasoning. The service was great too. Our waiter was very attentive and personable. The drinks were strong and came out fast. Price was as expected for extra large crabs. I can definitely see myself coming back

    Skipjack's is one of those places that I will miss if I ever move away. Back before COVID-19 became our reality, it was not unusual to find us dining there at least once a week, if not more. As carryout is currently our only option, it is super important that we patronize these mom-n-pop businesses now more than ever. And don't forget to tip, and tip well! Skipjack's is doing a heck of a job keeping business flowing during this difficult time. They have a table in the doorway to maintain safe distance along w hand sanitizer. I also noticed they are selling rolls of toilet paper for $.75 if you are in a bind, along w other market items listed on a chalkboard wall. The food is great, our favorites are the crab cakes, grilled salmon (the lemon butter sauce is sublime) and the snow crab legs. If corn is available when you go, get it. It's grown locally (like 5 mins away) and is always sweet and delicious. I'm partial to the big bracelet-like onion rings and their lightly dressed coleslaw, and their newest side dish of sweet and spicy Brussels sprouts is terrific. Give them a call to place your carry out order. They are working w a limited menu and not all items are available every day. And did I mention to make sure you tip well?

    Crabs
    April G.

    Came back home to Baltimore to visit and was craving some crabs. My friend took me here to indulge and I was highly satisfied. We ordered a dozen of the jumbo crabs which was $100 plus. I guess I've been away from Baltimore for too long because I hear that's the norm price. But I digress, the crabs were very very meaty and just perfect. The waiter was attentive and nice. I will definitely come back when I'm in town for the crabs. When I did live in Baltimore I would always pass this restaurant but never once did I stop in. I'm mad I waited this long.

    The menu
    La-Kia K.

    Well what can I say about this place... It is tucked away on the side of the road off of Belair Rd near the exit of the highway. The parking lot is not easy to pull up on or park on. There are no directions as to where to find the entrance. Had to walk all the way around to the other side and had figjt my way through a cloud of smokers to get inside. Once inside, we were greeted by the nicest young ladies, and were taken to our seats. At first it seemed very small being the other side was probably occupied by a large party, but I would've preferred to have been on that side due to the cold draft we had to sit through during our dinner. We had the nicest server who went above and beyond the call of duty. After we glanced through each menu, I asked our server about the crabs, but after checking with the kitchen, they only had XL and Jumbo crabs left which were over $90 a dozen. When it came to ordering our drinks, most of the ones that I wanted to try they longer hador had the ingredients to make it so I settled for a peach Sangria which was served in a regular glass and not a wine glass. It appeared to be some wine mixed with a peach liqueur. So I decided to sample the cream of crab, which our server obliged and after sampling the soup, it was just ok. We ordered a bowl so we could share. Once it was served, the consistency was hard not to point out that the thickening was not mixed but overall it was still ok. We each ordered some type of seafood dish. I ordered the Skipjack pot and my hubby had the seafood platter with fish, scallops, shrimp and 2 sides- mashed potatoes and green beans, which he picked. The food was not that great, the scallops tasted gummy and rubbery, the green beans were just as bad which was cooked in bacon and the had no flavor. The crab pot was ok too. Overly seasoned with overcooked corn which was probably frozen and recooked. Before I could eat I asked our server for a bib, he said they don't have any, but he he said let me what I can do. Now that is service! This young tall man came back with a thick plastic bib which is as long as a typical bib, wrapped it around my neck for me. He deserves 5 STARS! I gave 3 to be kind, but what made it hard to even give it beyond 3 stars was the restroom. There are only two stalls and when you go inside it is hard to use the restroom since the toilet and the door are that close together. You are practically hitting the door with either your body or your head. Now I have been to Europe and in Amsterdam the bathrooms are small but at least you can maneuver around. Ladies goodluck if you have to pee! At least we tried this place, but there's no way we will return.

    Crabs!!!

    Skip Jacks is one of my favorite places to get crabs! They have never disappointed me on the crabs, NEVER! not even once! I have been going here for years. Not sure why I never made a review, but here it is! I rarely order food off the menu if I do it would be the Buffalo wings or salad. Best addition before the order of crabs. Yesterday I called for crabs they took my name and number and told me they would call me with availability at 6 and I made reservations for 7. I never received a phone call, so I just went. When I got there the hostess stated she tried calling me multiple times with no answer but she saved a dozen of med and xl for me to chose from just in case! I am not sure why I didn't receive the call however I was very delighted to hear she kept my reservation and didn't cancel because I've been craving crabs. They were good and meaty of course! See you soon for sure!

I tried to pay cash but the cashier counted only $30 so I paid on my credit card.

I was thinking ok, not wanting a tip I guess. It seemed rather rude. While we waited I counted my cash and I did have $40 so I'm not sure what was up with her math. Food came out really fast. Our drive was not far so our food should have been hot. Instead the small racquet ball size crab cakes were cold. I don't even think they were cooked thru. I had to stick in air fryer to get them warmed up. The coleslaw which on previous visits was good lacked any flavor besides mayonnaise. My poor wife cracked down on a sharp pointy shell in her crab cake. Needless to say we were both disappointed and still hungry. I'm not sure what happened but we won't be going back anytime soon.

We even had three crabs left over! It's a pure seafood market with no seats or tables, so we brought everything back to our apartment and feasted!

I'm so used to being the one with the money, it was kind of odd to be told that it was their treat. And it really was a treat. The next best thing to a Calabash. Or at least as close as we can find in the Baltimore area. I was surprised by how much food they brought to our table. If you get the all-you-can-eat (which you should), you choose two appetizers (per person), a side dish, four protein options (and yes, you CAN double up and get two orders of snow crab legs), and a dessert. It's BYOB (there's a liquor store in the same group of stores). Soft drinks are $2.50 (I think). I had some pretty tasty onion rings and hush puppies. Could have used some ketchup. i have no idea why these came with a container of melted butter, but it did come in handy for dipping my snow crab. The cheese sticks were not a hit. Jeremy said the calamari was "jerky." The chicken wings were tasty. You get to have boiled egg, potato, and corn in your boil bag, but you don't HAVE to have any of it. The egg was over-boiled. Then you pick your proteins. I had double snow crab and double head-on shrimp. Both were wonderful. The sausage is pretty yummy, too. There are three sauces to choose from, or you can have them mix them. I went for a mix of all three, but kinda wish that I had passed on the cajun seasoning. I didn't really like that. Neither did Jeremy. And then you pick your spice level. I got medium, but it wasn't spicy at all. I'm fine with that. I didn't get a side dish, but others got cole slaw and gumbo - both got the thumbs up. I feel like a failure because I couldn't finish my meal. I actually left behind two snow crab legs. My belly was just too full. SO many shrimps!! Jeremy was the only one who got a second serving. I left the restaurant incredibly satisfied, with melted butter up to my elbows, and crab in my hair. We had so much fun. We were allowed to take or dessert home. I introduced my cat to cheesecake, and I think he discovered his new favorite food. I would recommend.

It's in a convenient location in the Putty Hill Plaza. It is housed in the former Peking House restaurant. I made a call to put my order in. The woman over the phone told me that it would be ten minutes. When I arrived, it was ready for me. The meal comes with two sauces, cocktail & tartar sauce, along with salt, pepper and ketchup. When I took a bite of the catfish, words couldn't describe how crispy and delicious this fish was. So light and flavorful! The shrimp were as tasty as the first time, even more so that I ate them hot. The fries were perfectly seasoned. So, so perfect. They give you perfect portions, as well! This is definitely my favorite thing on the menu. I turned my sister and mom onto them and they both agreed on how awesome the fish and shrimp box was! Now for my third trip, I had a taste for hibachi and remembered that Juicy King had a hibachi menu. I decided upon the shrimp, chicken and steak. I believe it was about 30 dollars. It was pretty good BUT not as good as another restaurant (that I won't name out of respect), that makes a similar dish. However, it wasn't bad, and the ingredients were fresh. The restaurant isn't fancy, but it is clean and nice enough to sit down for lunch or dinner. I'm getting hungry thinking about their fish and shrimp right now! You will not be sorry. Highly recommended!

We started with the hush puppies, which came out hot, fresh, and had the perfect hint of sweetness. They were a great way to kick off the meal. The fried green tomatoes almost stole the show. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and topped with sweet, tender jumbo lump crab meat....they were absolutely phenomenal and a must-order. The Conrad Soup was another standout. Rich, creamy, hearty, and packed with flavor. It tasted homemade in the best way possible. I also have to give a shoutout to the personal pitcher of sweet tea. As someone who appreciates good sweet tea, it's surprisingly hard to find one that's actually done right. Conrad's nailed it. But the undeniable star of the meal was the steamed blue crabs. I called ahead to reserve 12 large male crabs, which I highly recommend doing if you're planning a visit. Every single crab was perfectly steamed, generously seasoned, and absolutely loaded with sweet, tender meat. They were some of the best steamed crabs I've had in a long time. We purposely came early for lunch so we could take our time, and I'm so glad we did because this was an experience worth savoring. Conrad's exceeded every expectation I had. Between the outstanding service, incredible food, and relaxed atmosphere, I already know I'll be making the drive back. If you're a Maryland crab lover, this place deserves a spot at the top of your list. 10/10!! I'll definitely be back!

Both had so much potential because the crab meat itself was nice, lump, and delicious, and the seafood had great flavor. However, whatever sauce or mixture they use had a strange taste to me--almost like an excessive amount of mayo or Miracle Whip. It completely overpowered the seafood. I only had a bite or two before I was done. I also wasn't a fan of the "seat yourself" setup. We sat down and waited about 5-10 minutes before someone finally came over and said, "Sorry, I didn't know y'all were my table." I think having a better system for assigning tables would make the experience run much more smoothly. Overall, I definitely wouldn't say I'd never go back because those crabs were DELICIOUS! But am I rushing to get back? Probably not. If I do return, I'm sticking with the crabs!
