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.

The crab cakes were delicious. No filler, all crabmeat. The calamari was perfect and the crab wontons were great and the broccolini was just right. I live an hour away and I will be back.

Prices a little high, crab cakes could use more Old Bay seasoning. But overall great place to eat.

This was a very underwhelming dining experience. We chose Jimmy's to celebrate my sister's Bday. The service was very poor. Our drinks and appetizers too too long to come out. We were asked to order our entree while still waiting on our apps. By the time we finished our apps it was no need for an entrée. My sister and nieces ordered entrees and this is when the night went down hill. My niece ordered a steak. It was the worse steak ever. When my niece went to send it back she was told that they don't take steaks back. The steak was super dry tasteless and poorly prepared. Although it states on the menu that that can't guarantee the quality of the steak (which was pointed out later) this was completely unacceptable and disappointing

Crab egg roll appetizer was our favorite. We went on a Wednesday which is Crab special night which added a soup or salad and a dessert for the price of 1 Crab cake. You still get one of their sides too. Crab soups (creamy and Maryland) and the Crab cake were good but not great. Our service was excellent.

We had a wonderful experience at Jimmy's Famous Seafood. Our server, Rini, remembered me from a previous visit. Rimi was just as pleasant and attentive this time as my last visit. The food was brought out timely and was delicious. I am already looking forward to my next visit.

The food was good, and the service was equally good. Our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. She made several suggestions for our appetizers and our main course.

Wonderful experience, superb service, great food. While the cream of Crab Soup seemed like a favorite, it wasn't to my satisfaction. The cream was overly thick, solid like gelatin. I prefer a more liquid texture. Everything else met or exceeded my expectations.
