   My wife and I each had their broiled MD seafood entree. We both also paid an extra $4 for Greek Salads as one of our sides. The Greek Salads we’re very good. The Cole Slaw side was tasty. The baked potato was over cooked and not worth eating. The broiled MD seafood entree included a generous crab cake. Crab imperial stuffed oyster, broiled flounder, and broiled shrimp. My wife and I agreed that the best items were the stuffed oyster and the simply broiled flounder. They were both perfectly cooked and tasted fresh. The crab cake, although better than any you would get outside of MD, was far from the best we eat here. The shrimp were overcooked. The service was very good and overall, we felt like we got a fair value.

   This was my first time dining at this restaurant. The hostess at the front counter was not the most inviting, but the food, service, and pleasant attitude of my waitress made my experience wonderful. Will definitely visit again.

   They had the largest crab cakes that I have seen! I was shocked at how large the crab cakes were. I was even more surprised that they were full off crab meat and not filler. I will definitely be back again.

    By the Docks did not have our Open Table Reservation, even though I called BtD the day I made the online OT reservation to confirm it. Food is o, but overpriced. It was a long wait and VERY loud.

    Our first time visiting Middle River area and this restaurant was a huge hit for our party. We drove here from Charlotte NC straight to the restaurant. The staff was very nice. Our server Abner was very attentive and pleasant. We appreciate his patience with our large party (14, including children). Everyone enjoyed their appetizers and meals. We had teenagers and all of them were happy with their meals (ribs, steak, crab cake, crab imperial, calamari, salads). The Oyster Rockefeller has good reviews from partaker at the table, the crab dip also is a great suggestion to try. Lamb chops and crab cakes were praised by those that ordered it as well. We had guest from NC, MD and PA and everyone agreed all the food was delicious and very worth the drive.

    Brandon was an excellent server! The crispy Brussels sprouts were delicious as an appetizer. I got the avocado with shrimp and it was far better than I could have anticipated. Husband got the crab cake and said it was Very good, as was the creamed spinach and fries.

    Outstanding with a great variety of menu items; something for everyone. Prices are very reasonable, especially for Baltimore. My only issue is the Oysters Rockefeller: Should be labeled Rockefeller Oysters! Too much topping for the oysters.

    Loved Kimberly the waitress. She had a great sense of humor and the flexibility to not only make us laugh but take our order and "see to us" without being intrusive. An A+ for that lady! As for the food, so-so, and if we had gotten a so-so server, I wouldn't have given such a good rating. As for the next question--would I recommend By The Docks to a friend? Probably not because it's a lot to pay for a mediocre meal and a great waitress.

    While our server Mike was wonderful, the food was not appealing or good. The cream of crab soup was a bit on the salty side and had quite of a different taste than others I have had. Presentation is everything and nothing came out looking as it did on their website. When my sister called today to express our dissatisfaction, the manager Mike (same name as the server) was very rude and could careless about our dining experience. He asked her "why didn't we mention this while we was still at the restaurant?" and to call back to speak to a different manager after 5pm. What a way to blow of a customer!

    My reservation for the evening wasn't honored as my family and I weren't seated . We arrived on time at 6:45 pm for our reservation and was told our table would be ready shortly , we sat and waited until 7:05pm and still weren't seated. Meanwhile others entered the restaurant were seated immediately upon arrival. When I asked the gentleman at the front desk why we were still waiting when our reservation time had passed over 20 minutes ago , he said I don't have a table available for you . My family and I left the entire experience was very unacceptable and disappointing . This was my family's first time here , and it was not a good look on the restaurants part. We will not visit again
