I don't know why I'm just now doing a review for here. My FAVORITE crab spot, they're not the cheapest but they are the best. I always get XL or Jumbos. Literally never disappointed. Crabs are well seasoned and come out HOT every time.. this place is very consistent. They have a restaurant style family area and a bar where you can eat as well. (I heard you guys were closing :-(... I pray it's a sick joke/rumor) read more

Skipjack's - Dozen of Jumbos - Seafood Near Me - Nottingham, Maryland

Crabs were great. We ordered 1 1/2 dozen mediums and they were big and asked with meat. I enjoyed the cream of crab soup a lot too. The service was excellent. We had a very friendly and knowledgeable server and several table bussers were always around to clear things away or get you more napkins, etc. There were three dining rooms in the back of the restaurant that have Maryland decor and TV's with the Orioles game on. My only complaint is that they need to expand the rest rooms. read more

Skipjack's - 1 1/2 dozen Medium crabs and corn on the cob. - Seafood Near Me - Nottingham, Maryland

Skipjack's is a solid option for great crabs. We came for my mother's birthday and weren't disappointed. Everything I ordered was pretty good. The half & half crab soup was very flavorful and Brussel sprouts were delicious. Of course, the crabs were the reason we were there and they were sooo good. Very meaty and perfectly steamed. My drink was great also. Our waitress was also very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Solid crabs and great service. I would love to come. read more

The crabs were huge. We ordered 2 dozens XL. They were bigger than my head and very hot. My server was very friendly. I also had homecut fries and a chicken cheese steak. Everything was good! I will definitely be returning! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Skipjack's is one of the places I will order fresh steamed crabs. Never had a disappointing experience with the crabs. I am unable to speak about all of the menu items due to dietary concerns, however everything on the menu that is gluten free is good. The service staff are always on point. read more

The best crabs consistently. Always bring out of town guest to Skipjacks. Love their seasoning

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 read more

Skipjack's - Extra large crabs - Seafood Near Me - Nottingham, Maryland

I decided to get to go order because I wanted some crabs and my normal crab spot was closed. The crabs were reasonably priced and they were a good size. The flavor was OK. I feel like they could use a little more seasoning. The service was easy and the person who took my order confirmed that they had what I wanted so that I didn't waste my time coming up there. It's a local bar so I can't really speak to the ambience cause I walked in grab my order paid for it and walked back out, sorry I don't have pictures. I eat them really quick. read more

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? read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Food...we tried one of the Chef's Creations, fried green tomatoes, and they were fabulous. We also had the fish and chips and shrimp basket- no complaints, both were very good. Old Bay on each table, always appreciated. Service...our hostess was welcoming and friendly and our server, Morgan, did a great job. Just the right amount of attentiveness and always with a smile. We didn't wait too long for drinks from the bar, appetizer, or meal. Ambiance...lots of tables covered with steamed crabs. Baltimore ambiance doesn't get any better than that! read more

Everything was so good. Ordered small crabs that were very heavy and really were more like mediums. Drinks were good and strong. Everything was really good and our waitress was super nice. read more

Skipjacks food quality has gone downhill tremendously. It used to be one of my favorite seafood spots a few years ago. Since one of my closest friends was in town we decided to give them a try for lunch. Sidenote: I haven't been since COVID. My friend ordered the Crabcake sandwich (an old favorite) and old bay fries. After one bite, he decided that it wasn't for him. I ordered the Fish Po'boy that tasted more like a bland fish sub. Service was good. Our servers name escapes me, but props to her for making our subpar experience a little better. read more

I visited here before for a birthday gathering and the food was good. I visited during non-peak hours. There was hardly anyone in the restaurant, mainly people at the bar (4). The bartender was GREAT! This time I ordered at the bar. I ordered honey mustard wings, calamari, and the 2 crab cake meal with a side of broccoli and tater tots. I ordered my food to go as I was just there to watch the game and maybe order a drink. The wings were flavorless, in which I added honey mustard to them as arrived home. The calamari was great and crispy. The star of maryland crab cake dinner was mediocre. The flavor was not very great, the crab cakes were small for the price, and I did not get my tater tots in which I did not realize until arriving home in the midst of traffic. I think I'll just still to calamari next time. read more

Skipjack's - Crabcake dinner - Seafood Near Me - Nottingham, Maryland

I've been here a couple of times, and each time I just thought the food was okay, nothing too special. I've ordered the salmon with lemon butter and the imperial chicken, both of which did not stand out to me. The lemon butter on the salmon was tasty, but the salmon itself was pretty bland, as if they didn't season it. The imperial chicken came with a crab cake as well. While the crab cake was tasty, the chicken was very bland and a little burnt too. Although we ordered appetizers and salad, it took a while for them to come out, and they came out like 5 minutes before our entrees. With most entrees, you can order two sides. I ordered mac and cheese for one of my sides, and it was very disappointing. However, their fries and onion rings are good. The ladies restroom near the bar is TINY; there's barely enough room to move in the stall, and I'm pretty small, so I can only imagine how difficult it is for taller ladies. There's another restroom in the back, which is a lot bigger, so I would recommend going there instead. All in all, if I were to return, I would probably get the crab cakes, because none of their other entrees seem to stand out to me. read more

Crabs are always very good and food especially the wings. I visit whenever I'm in town

My time trying out this place. I must say the service & food were good. Has their own parking lot so saved me the trouble of parking. I ordered the shrimp salad sandwich with old bay fries. I'll admit while they were stingy with the amount of shrimp salad they gave me. The sandwich was delicious. My only gripe was the old bay fries were nasty & had no seasoning on them. Luckily it was old bay at the table. The crabs we ordered were full of meat, properly cooked & a nice price so that was a plus. Only that ruined the date was that they give you that phony popcorn butter. I feel like any real crab eater doesn't want that butter lol. My waiter was a little slow & forgetful but you could tell she was new & trying her best so I won't give her a bad review. read more

This was my first time here. I was here for a birthday get together and it was very interesting. It is a very big place with a bar. my friend had ordered $90 crabs and they were really good. I didn't want to pay that much so I ordered smaller crabs for $55 and they were not as good as the $90. So I guess you have to go hard or go home. The most challenging thing about coming here is that it is very cold. Please bring your North face and a hat. The waiter stated that it had to be cold in there if not the floors would be too slippery. I also ordered the Parmesan Shrimp and it was pretty good but the shrimp was not that big. The kitchen close at 10:30PM so if you snooze you lose. read more

I absolutely LOVE the food at Skipjacks. I ordered the atomic wings, fries, crab legs, and steamed shrimp. The atomic wings were indeed HOT but so flavorful. The wings were the right amount of crispy and I can tell they fried the wings in the sauce and didn't just toss them in the sauce (there is a difference). The fries were nice and soft and not too salty. I love me some freshly fried french fries, haha. I got a cluster of crab legs, about 8 oz. They were small but was just enough for me. Same for the steamed shrimp. Will definitely eat here again. read more

Carry out order was ready quickly. Manager was very helpful when I spoke with him. Will try restaurant again in the future. read more

Skipjack's - Cream of crab soup - Seafood Near Me - Nottingham, Maryland

Came here for a team outing after work with my coworkers! It was my first time visiting. I had a pleasant experience here as did the rest of my party. I had the crab legs dinner and opted for the double cluster, because I LOVE me some crab legs! They were good! Nice and hot and accompanied by that melty warm drawn butter. It also came with 2 sides which I chose a loaded baked potato & corn on the cob! The potato was fab! It was full of cheesy, bacon goodness!!! Yummmm! I had a glass of angry orchard from their draft which was a little flat. I will say I was also a little disappointed by some of the items they chose to pair for their entrees. For example, I really wanted the Alfredo but was saddened to see it included shrimp, clams and mussels. I'd much rather have shrimp, SCALLOPS & crab meat or something of that nature. I just felt the mussels and clams were just off putting. Our service was descent and I'd consider giving this place a try again in the future. If you're interested, give it a try! read more

Part 1_Been to Skipjacks many...times with no problems!! Today upon arrival they said they only had jumbo crabs $140.00 a dozen. I told the waitress not 1 crab better be hollow, not hot...NOTHING WRONG!! Well of course, they were not hot and not all jumbos!! Asked to speak to the Manager. Nicole identifies herself came out with an attitude and tray waiting. "If you don't want them, I'll GLADLY take them back and SELL THEM AT THE BAR. She's standing over me talking over me. I get up. She says, I'm not scared of YOU!! My friend said, Mam, please walk away. NICOLE, trying to make a scene!! Well NICOLE, GENERAL MANAGER, I think your comments and about reselling picked over eaten crabs to be resold at your bar can go straight to the Baltimore County health dept., your local 7th Congressional personnel, Owner and whoever and whatever I can report it to.....my complaint will go forward with your NASTY attitude and service!! Thank you NICOLE for your hospitality. When people show you who they are....BELEIVE THEM!! read more
