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 were a party of 2. The hostess did not have our reservation however I had a confirmation email. I was quoted an incorrect price for the blue crabs. No adjustments were made to our bill. The waiter was apologetic, very nice & efficient & attentive. Blue crabs were amazing as expected, but corn & potatoes were lukewarm warm and not well seasoned. This was my 3rd visit to the restaurant and twice I had issues either my bill. I cannot complain about food quality & freshness . I’ll be back. P. S. Management should be more accommodating to the customers

    It was a very nice ambience, everyone super friendly and it was a chance to start new memories and traditions for Christmas Eve. Making a reservation, I highly recommend.

    Restaurant was beautifully decorated. Service was good. Appetizer (crab stars) was tasty, however, the salmon and grouper were way overcooked and dry. The wine pour was also a questionably low volume for the price. Sadly, 3/5 and a disappointing Christmas Eve dinner overall.

    This was our first time visiting and it was worth the drive. The food was fresh and cooked to order. The prices were what we expected and a great portion sizes. There was no wait as we had a reservation. Service was quick also. Lots of choices.

    Stephanie took care of us and made us laugh. The food is always amazing and the staff is wonderful. We come to Baltimore a time or two every year and have dinner at Jimmy’s every trip.

    The experience was amazing. The waiter Shawn made our dinner date so wonderful. The food was very delicious. Best crab cake I have ever had. We sat at the bar as we waited for our table, even that was fun as the bartenders engaged with us and laughed with us. This was a Top tier experience. This was our first time dining here, we are already planning a return dinner date🙂 10/10 would recommend.
