Such an amazing experience !! The part that blew my mind with "Yardkoo" was their presentation. This place is not your average seafood boil establishment... They bring a different feel and different flavor to the outing. From the " napkin purse" ( awesome touch of creativity) to the tall unique glass of lemonade. And at Yardkoo you won't get your boil in a bag ( unless it's to-go ) They bring everything out on a stylish tray put together more like an art exhibit, then your meal for the evening. FYI: I ordered a half dozen of raw oysters to jump start things, and they were absolutely on point and super fresh from all angles ( a must have ) And once I actually dove into my meal, I was 100% sold that my loyalty was theirs for the foreseeable future. The environment is bubbly but not loud. The service is friendly and very attentive on all levels. The young woman ( Q ) did an outstanding job of helping me navigate the menu, sauce level, and to-go orders. She had the perfect attitude ( professional with a smile ) and she had an answer for every question I threw her way !!!! ( Shoutout to the bartender also ! ) Trust me when I say Yardkoo is etched on Mount Rushmore when it comes to seafood boil royalty !!!! read more

I can't remember the place that used to be here but it was the same type of seafood boil at Yardkoo. Wasn't too busy on a Saturday night so we didn't event need a reservation. There is plenty of shared parking in the other businesses in the area. This was a little different because they bring the meal out on a hot skillet that had a burning sterno under it, so be careful. I did learn the hard way when I touched it. The food was good. I had the small boil that comes with half a pound of crab legs, half a pound of headless shrimp, half a pound of sausage, potatoes, and corn. You can choose your flavor and level of spice. I went with garlic butter medium spicy. More than enough to fill me up with a little leftover. Service was good as well. A very festive atmosphere inside. A few people had birthday celebrations this night and they played a club music birthday song. read more

Came with my husband and another couple. We order wings, ceviche, a boil and the fried flounder. EVERYTHING was very good! We wanted to try everything and I think our eyes were bigger than our bellies. Both couples left with leftovers. It's cool that they include ramen in their boils and I love the cute way they present them. read more

This was my first time coming to Yardkoo. We stopped in for lunch and were greeted upon entry. Our waiter sat us down with the menus and so it began! I ordered the crab redgoon as an appetizer, they were cooked with the perfect amount of crisp! I chose General Tso's chicken as my entree. It was also great, all ingredients tasted fresh! We also tried the grilled salmon salad, it was delish! As well as the 1lb of Snow Crab legs. I loved the presentation of all the food. The crab legs came on this mobile grill that kept your food hot!!! Definitely get two thumbs up for that extra detail! Looking forward to returning! read more

Tried Yardkoo again after my previous bad experience. The portion size of the catfish was back to normal, the Cajun fries are great, but the wasabi sauce is still a bit weak (prefer a low burn in my nose). Definitely a good place to eat in Owings Mills. read more

Came for a quick dinner with work team while traveling! For our party size and not having a reservation we were sat and accommodated immediately! The food came fairly quickly, was hot and very well seasoned. The ambiance was chill and great playlist was going! Would definitely be back or recommend to others! read more

Brand new location opened up in the middle of Foundry Row. I am a big fan of the whole center of shops and restaurants that reside in downtown Owings Mills. I was in the mood for a crab and seafood dinner and Yardkoo delivered and exceeded my expectations. Would return, would recommend to any seeking a fun and high quality meal for a reasonable price and service. I will most definitely be back and sampling the rest of the menu. I wish I took more pictures of the inside of the restaurant because it was clean and modern and very natural and well lit. read more

My friend made reservations and I'm glad she did because that line was incredibly long for those waiting to be seated. To me, that meant that it was a for sure sign that the food would be great! We had a very friendly server, another added plus. I'm a Charleston girlie so I was trying not to compare our seafoods and luckily I didn't have to... my boil was good, a little salty but delicious nonetheless. I had a mocktail that was equally tasty. This is for sure a spot that many celebrate their birthdays and other celebrations; we saw several. And to top it off, the staff does a whole production of singing "Happy Birthday" and they even offer a cheesecake slice to the birthday girl/boy! The R&B playing in the background forces you to dance and sing along as you eat (I loved that it reminded me of eating seafood with my family back home). If watching sports is your jam, they have several televisions tuned in to sports coverage. The restaurant is very spacey featuring different seating options for various party sizes. We sat across from the bar which was full of guests enjoying their dinner and drinks too. I definitely plan on coming back whenever I visit again. read more

First visit. They have happy hour 2-7 which is a plus. Not a lot to choose from though. I did get the banging salmon bites. They were cut up really small to my surprise. The flavor was good. Also got hush puppies which were good. We got there around 5:15 pm and were able to get the last available booth. The service is pretty good. When we were leaving around 7:30 pm there was a lot of ppl waiting so the earlier the better. Overall the restaurant is nice but on the small side if you plan to eat in. There's also seating at the bar. I'll come back and try a seafood boil next time which I feel is their most popular item. Overall it's ok. read more

I wanted some Seafood so me and my Family came here. I heard about this place from a friend that frequents this place. This was previously another Seafood Restaurant, they are under new Management. It has a casual relaxed atmosphere, a little upscale from the previous place. We ordered several Appetizers and everyone ordered Seafood Boils. The Seafood Boils are on a Hot Plate and not in a plastic bag like other places I've been to. The food didn't take long either. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious.Our Server was polite and attentive. I will be back. read more

Visited Yardkoo for the first time last week with no real expectations since there are so many seafood boil restaurants now but I must say I was impressed. The quality of the seafood for the price point was great! The restaurant is pretty small but they have a nice flow to service and seemed to manage it well. We didn't have a long wait when we arrived and the food came out quick but the small waiting area was packed by the time we were leaving so I would suggest trying it earlier rather than later. Now let's get into the food. We started with the Banging Salmon Bites and they were very delicious. Seasoned to perfection. I'm not the biggest fan of bang bang sauce and I was expecting the bites to come tossed in sauce but it was drizzled on top which I actually appreciated so I could control the amount of sauce on my bite. Next time I will ask for it on the side but I did really like it. The salmon was juicy and flavorful. For my entree I did the build your own combo with a pound of snow crab legs and 1/2 pound of headless shrimp. The combo comes with 1 corn and two potatoes and I added additional corn which was two more pieces. I had the yard mix sauce which is a combination of all of the sauces together and it was delicious. Not overly salty but actually flavorful. I did medium spice level I think next time I'll try the hot. The medium was not spicy enough for me. The seafood comes out on a hot sizzling plate which is a nice touch and actually helps keep the seafood warm longer. The drinks were also a really good price and pretty strong. Overall I really enjoyed the food will def be back to try some more menu options and maybe happy hour. Only deducted one star because our server was lacking a bit but not terrible. He just seemed to need some more training but he may have just been new. read more

This is the old rock and tossed crab house. They did a little reconfiguration. I enjoyed my time here. The drinks were great. The food was good. We just wish the waitress was a little bit more attentive to what we needed from her prices are fair and I would return again. Thus crab and scallop fried rice is definitely a must try for anyone in the RT noodles looked good however the sausage and it was pork and I don't eat pork so I didn't try them, but they did look good. read more

If I could give this more than five stars, I definitely would. The seafood here is very fresh and very flavorful. I love the fact that it comes from a hot plate. The orange chicken was delicious. The oysters were fresh and I really enjoyed the drinks. The customer service is great and I love the overall environment. read more

Serve was horrible. Chinese girl was nasty and rude. She took 20 mins before she came over to the table. She took the drink order and never came back. The restrooms were horrible. Just completely poor service from the Chinese girl.Extremely Poor service!!! read more

Stephanie was the best hostess! Very attentive and kind. The food came out quickly. I had the crab Rangoon, the crab toast which was superb and the yard noodles. It basically was a seafood boil with ramen in it. The sauce I had was the yard mix which included lemon pepper, Cajun butter and the yard flavor . It was a little salty but the flavor overall was good. I think next time I'll get a single flavor instead of mixing. The ambience sure is alluring. It gives off a boho look. I definitely will be back!! read more

This place is a dump! My family visited Yardkoo after my cousins graduation based on social media hype and unfortunately the experience didn't live up to our expectations. The restaurant wasn't busy whatsoever during the lunch hour, yet service was extremely slow and the staff was very cold and unfriendly. Our server accidentally swiped my aunts card three times and was barely apologetic about it. We were left to fend for ourselves and rarely had anyone check on us while dining. The food was average at best, and the overall experience left us disappointed. Don't let the TikTok hype fool you! There are much better places to spend your time and hard earned money. read more

Yardkoo Seafood & Grill - Bar area ..happy hour everyday till 7:00pm Food was excellent - Seafood Near Me - Garrison, Maryland

I came after seeing salmon bites and realized they are only on happy hour menu I think? I went with the fried shrimp and Cajun fries. I visited mid day and there wasn't a crowd. The shrimp were hot, fresh and jumbo. These are the type of fried shrimp that go well with a sauce as the batter they fry the shrimp in isn't heavily seasoned. I'll return to try some other items. read more

I like this spot. I rolled up in here solo for some crabcakes. They advertised lump crab meat in their cakes. The bar is pretty high in Baltimore fore crab cakes. There was some filler and the flavor was okay. Not horrible, but not a sure fire crab cake that you'd get from some other notable places around Baltimore. I'd give the cakes 2.5/5 stars. My salad and sweet potato fries were delicious. The decor and atmosphere were nice. I will definitely try them out again. They have quite a few items on their menu that I'd like to try. I would recommend. read more

I came here not expecting much, as I thought this was just Rock & Toss rebranding itself. I eventually realized that this was more of an elevated experience. The interior has a more upscale look. The menu looks to be more extensive, including more asian dishes. The waiter was very helpful and patient as I considered ordering from the asian side of the menu, but eventually thought against it. We got the seafood boil, but it didn't come in the bag as usual. The seafood came in a personalized carry-on tray with a fire to keep the food hot. The boil tasted the same as rock & toss did, which was solid. Overall, it was a decent experience. I'll definitely come back when I need my seafood boil fix. read more

Good food, service, and ambiance! They bring your food out on a tray with burners so your sea food butter salt doesn't melt quickly. Loved it! read more

So I had their seafood boil, and presentation was on point. The crabs were ok did seem too fresh. The shrimp, mussels and flavor were ok in my opinion as well. The potatoes tastes ok nothing special. Same with the eggs and corn. Overall an average meal, the sauce was ok too. I think the because its wasnt in a plastic bag it was a little harder to spread the seasoning around. Ambiance was great the decor inside the resturant is really good. For the drinks you get a good amount for the price. Service was average nothing too crazy. Overall had a good time if you are in the area you can check it out cause they have other stuff on the menu, as I only had the seafood boil. read more

We had reservations for 5pm. Wasn't seated until 5:45pm. Once seated our waitress took drink orders. Then it was on. We ordered the kids chicken tenders dinner. Also the lamb chops, small seafood broil, calamari, ragoon, fried rice with lobster and shrimp, and chicken wings . The drinks were nice and strong. It was ALL good!!! I wanted to give 5 stars ... But the 45 minutes wait when we clearly had a 5pm RESERVATION took a star! read more

I usually enjoy Yardkoo, but this time I ordered something I hadn't ordered before. I ordered fried rice seafood. I substitute the scallops with shrimp. i received a large bowl of fried rice, crab meat that was almost non-existent (maybe a teaspoonful), and maybe two-three chopped shrimp. So, mostly I just had fried rice. The price was $17.99. Meanwhile, my husband ordered a fried shrimp basket. He received eight medium/large fried shrimp and two pieces of corn. His ordered was $14.00. I am very disappointed with what I received and will not order this again. read more

Went to dine in tonight at 10:15pm on Jan 17, 2026 & was told I couldn't be seated. The website says Yardkoo is opened until 11pm on Friday and Saturday. False Advertisement. Don't waste your time coming to this establishment unless you're inside an hour before the listing on line. Hopefully OJ's bar and grill will be better once they open. Yardkoo has a habit of closing when they feel like it. read more

I Love Yardkoo's Outstanding Customer Services!! Very Personable. The foods yummy and the presentation puts a smile on your face! I love how they serve the Seafood Boils on a mini stove brought to your table still heating instead of a bag. It's a fun experience. My girlfriends loves the Noodles entree that's comes with big shrimp, smoked sausage , and Broccoli . The Long Island Ice tea is our favorite drink. Check it Out!! Best time 2-5 less crowed . read more

The food was great. Good customer service, and the price was on point for the quality of the food. I will definitely return.

Chaniyah is an amazing waitress. 5 stars to her. Very kind and always has a smile on her face.

All is well. Service and food was excellent. I would recommend the boil the presentation is nice. Worth the time and $$$$

Very slow waiting even with a reservation. They don't care if you have reservatio or not. They will still act like it's no big deal. Reservations do not matter here so if you want to wait a while then this is your spot. If you are coming here for a party or celebration this is not your spot to come. read more

I will NEVER visit again!!! Service was horrible! The bartender, Tierra messed up my drink and forgot my food order. I waited 45 minutes for fried shrimp for it to come out cold! There were about 10 people total in the restaurant, no way my service should've been that poor. Save your money and time! read more

My husband and I ate dinner at Yardkoo about a week ago and the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the seafood boil with the mild cajun seasoning, coleslaw, crab rangoon and the buffalo wings. Everything we ordered came out perfectly. In particular, the seafood was very high quality, and the coleslaw and buffalo sauce for the wings were homemade. The server was very attentive and friendly and the hostess (Sherry) treated us like we were rock stars. I highly recommend this restaurant for just a casual night out or to meet up with friends to watch a sporting event. There are many television screens placed throughout the restaurant for your entertainment. I highly recommend trying out Yardkoo Seafood & Grill. You will not be disappointed! read more
