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.

    Overall, the food was okay. The fried shrimp tasted imitation and not like I've had in the past about 4 years ago. Cream of crab base was very good but not much crab meat. The crab cakes were the best! Lump crab meat with no filling! The broiled seafood platter didn't have any taste very bland. The quality from 4 years ago has gone down. However, the service was great! What happened to the baked potato?

    The grouper was excellent. As was the Rockfish. The appetizer Crab Star was also good. The truffle potatoes au gratin had very little potato and too much cheese .
