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 between lunch and dinner and only a few other tables so it was pretty quiet. I’m from out of town and it was my second time- I loved it that much the first time. The lobster bisque is some of the best i’ve ever had! Seafood is so fresh and everytime I’m in town I will visit!

    Chairs could be a little more comfortable, kind of felt like I was sitting on a stool. Thanks my only complaint. Walked in was dotted right away, service was great, food was great. Actually would have tipped the waitress more but I have a thing about restaurants that put a gratuity on a bill for a party of two. I still ended up tipping a little more because I got a to go order that didn’t have gratuity on it.

    Tonight was my wife's birthday, food was great atmosphere awesome, but service was unacceptable. I told the waiter whom was an Irish kid with a red beard that it was a birthday celebration. The waiters sung happy birthday to a table but when it came to our table hoe told me your family can sing it too her. That really left a very sour taste in our mouth. Because of that energy we will not visit this location again.

    Wonderful and attentive service by Yianni and crew. We ordered crab tacos, UFO, and a sushi pyramid for a quick lunch. Crab tacos were good. UFO was good too but all shrimp in it was slightly on the medium-rare side and had an ammonia aftertaste. Could have been cooked out with an extra 45-60 seconds of deep frying. Sushi pyramid had lots of fish layered in and the presentation was exactly that, a pyramid. Loved it! Portions were awesome! Took out three quarts of crab soup, had a ton of crab - closer to a chowder and was great! Entire family enjoyed every sip.

    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.
