Anyone ********** a friend to any other crab house or seafood restaurant is simply being a bad friend!!! This place is a true Baltimore Landmark!!!! I've been coming here since I was a kid and have never had a bad experience! I've been there for it all - the old and new school! I was a personal friend of Mr. Jimmy and am very proud of the improvements his son Johnny has made to the place!!!!

I don't know what it is about this place, but it always keeps me coming back for more! Without a doubt my favorite restaurant!!! Oh and a little secret - try the BBQ RIBS!!!! AMAZING!!!! AMAZING!!!!

GREAT CRAB SOUP

   RESIDENTCAROLINA - 08/02/2009

I live in north carolina and my brother lives down from Jimmy's while stopping in MD. on my way home my brother got two gallons of crab soup for me to take home to NC. I'm not sure if Jimmy was still alive at the time but they really hooked us up with the best crab soup ever because they knew I was from out of town they gave me alot of fillings I have family passing through soon and plan on getting two more gallons for me I really look forward to some very good soup again I hope I'm not disappointed I have bragged to all my NC friends about this great crab soup

Look I have lived here 41 years. When Jimmy was alive it was all good. VERY GOOD!!!!!!!! The good man passed and the Wife took over during that period it went a little downhill but I'm here to tell ya the sons got her out and they took over remodeled the whole place!!! I eat there at least 4 times a month Steak, Crabcakes and THE BEST CRABS IN BALTIMORE. So don't let these foolish reviews scare you whenever i have out of town guests thats the only place they want to go. Sure it did have a rocky year but that was years ago as far as I'm concered THESE GUY'S DO IT ALL BY HAND AND SERVE ONLY THE FRESHEST SEAFOOD AND STEAKS AVAILABLE!!!!!!! Thank you JIMMY'S for serving Baltimore the way you do. I WILL BE BACK AS A MATTER OF FACT I JUST ORDERED CARRYOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would never go there again...

As a long time patron, you see for sure that things change; and not for the better in this case. All of the stories are true, mice, poor service, etc. I agree with the person who said By the Docks is the place to be. If you have have more time on your hands, go to Timbuktu near Arundel Mills. To die for is the words I would use for Timbuktu and By the Docks, TO DIE FROM describes Jimmy's.

Stay Away!!!

We had our annual Department Crab Feast this afternoon at Jimmy's. We were a party of 40. The time was from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30. When we arrived at 11:30, the only food to be seen was a bowl of Caesar Salad that could have served 10, a bowl of potato salad and cole slaw (approx. 2 lbs. each). At noon, a tray of fried chicken appeared (harder than a rock) which disappeared after the first 15 people served themselves. The upstairs room in which we were housed, was dingy and the bar only had soft drink taps--beer was poured into plastic pitchers and walked up the flight of stairs. The crabs appeared at 1:15. Dessert was chocolate and vanilla ice cream plopped on the serving table in metal bowls, no toppings, which contained ice crystals the size of my thumbnail. The chocolate ice cream had no taste whatsoever. BTW, it ran out after 15 people as well and it took chanting by the group in order for them to bring more.

But the worst part of the afternoon was when our table had finished our crabs and there were four left. I had jokingly told my husband that I would bring him home a crab and so I took one and wrapped it in a brown paper towel. As I was leaving, one of the wait staff stopped me and said that I couldn't take the crab home. When I asked what they were going to do with the left-over crabs, I was told that they were going to be RESOLD downstairs!!! I brushed by the server and he actually tried to take the crab away from me. One, am I the only one who thinks that reselling leftover crabs is a health violation!! Also, I wasn't leaving the place with the Hefty bag slung over my back filled with crabs, but a lonely crab in a soup bowl--and the server actually tried to take it away!!

I am not from Baltimore, and maybe this restaurant is an icon here, but I found the establishment to be dingy; the food mediocre, at best; the service terrible; and the thought of reselling crabs that had been sitting on my table for a couple hours completely unethical. DO NOT GO HERE!!!

Hearty and heavy

Just came back from a dozen x-larges and they never fail to give heavy delicious crab.

Truly amazed!

Having heard of this place for a few years, i decided to make the 45 minute drive and see what all the fuss was all about. Wow! What a true delight! Everything left me speechless...my new restaurant of choice!
