Since 1974, Jimmy's has exhibited a commitment to excellence in the restaurant industry second to none. Although made famous for our award-winning seafood and steamed hard-shell crabs, our menu also includes various tastes from all over the world, such as grilled lamb chops, a monstrous, savory prime rib, and barbecued baby back ribs. We have two seating areas - a casual, fun lounge and a beautiful dining room which is divided for those seeking to crack open some hot steamed crabs and those seeking intimacy. Seafood is flown in daily to ensure unrivaled freshness and to allow for new specials every evening! If you do not see reservation availability, please call us at 410-633-4040.

    We went for a birthday lunch… Had the jumbo crabs… they were so delicious… Of course there were other people there but a large group of people were seated and sooo loud.. so if you don’t mind the loud parties it’s great …the desserts were really good too..I would definitely recommend this place.

    The food at Jimmy's has changed, myself and my family have been there numerous of times. The quality and taste were not to anybody in my parties standards. The food took a very long time to come and everyone would agree the food was salty and tasteless. Then a you add a labor of love on your bill, bad enough the service was not that good so to tack on this fee is ridiculous. Myself or my family will not be returning.

    Made reservation to ensure dining hall seating. Service was great but was surprised that the drinks were not free refills. Ordered lemonade and every refill cost. Not a problem if this was known. There was an additional charge called a Love service tax that was not explained.

    Great all around. We had reservations and maybe 5 minutes after we sat. Service was quick and our orders were on time, hot and good. I had the Boss that is a huge 1 lbs of jumbo lumb goodness. Best I've had and I've been around. Cream of crab was good also with a nice amount of crab. Will be back soon

    Jimmy's was amazing! The food, the service all were just so outstanding. The fish was fresh, the taste was impeccable, Everything about the food was so good. The only downside is how loud it was inside. They had a live saxophone player(who was incredible) but we were sat right next to him and it was so loud we were yelling at each other from across the table. The second downside was we were sat right by the door that lead to the outside patio, and every time the door opened the cold air which was 30 degrees would blow on us. It was very cold and uncomfortable. Apart from those 2 things, it by far is my favorite food place here in Maryland.

    Not impressed. Why do restaurants limit purchases to different areas of the restaurant? We were trying to order a seafood club but was told we had to be either in the bar ( the other side of the wall) or in a different part of the restaurant or different time. Food we did get was ok but not going back.

    Was a disappointing experience overall. Of my many visits that have all been positive, this sucked. Three of the five guests were on time for the reservation ready to eat with the other 2 questionable if they would attend. Telling us to wait at the bar versus seating us and started the downward visit. What made it worse, after we were seated, 4 people of a large party (maybe 10-12) were seated as soon as they walked in. The rest of that party staggered in over the next 20-30 minutes. I called ahead of time to make sure you had crabs. I was given the impression you were fully stocked. Imagine my shock when the waiter says there's only 18 crabs for the day! Wth? 6 med/ large and 12 so called jumbos. Unfortunately, these had to be older crabs cause several had the spoiled crab smell. Out of many visits there, definitely the worse batch of crabs I've been served. Positives: Waiter was pleasant over all. The drinks were good. The ambiance was nice as always. Last gripe. The Labor of Love charge is BS! A 3% charge on the bill without being notified prior. Honestly, it took additional funds i might have considered for my waiter. Either pay your staff properly or continue adjusting food prices. I'm not there to get nickled and dimed.

    The food was amazing but it was the service for me. We had Gregory H. and he went above and beyond explaining the menu, checking in on us and making sure that we didn't need anything! If you go there, I highly recommend that you ask for him. You will have a wonderful experience!! Gregory H was the BEST!!!!

    Fried oysters are awesome. Enjoyed the octopus as well - very flavorful. Bought some shrimp salad from the carryout side - some of the best I’ve ever had.
