    Excellent crab cakes, as well as the chowder and crab soups. Service was great, ambience could have been a bit better, as we were hurriedly seated next to an exterior door. Overall I’d recommend this to people visiting Baltimore regardless, as it’s more local.

    The food was absolutely amazing and I love how we were treated by our server. I did not catch his name but he was an older gentleman. My wife enjoyed her birthday here and we will be returning!

    🌟🌟🌟🌟☆ Great Find — Worth the Trip! The food was amazing and reasonably priced. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and loved the design of the restaurant — it had a cozy yet stylish vibe. Parking was a bit hectic, but it was Mother's Day, so that’s understandable. Our server was pleasant, though not particularly engaging. Still, the service was solid overall. We actually came down from Northern Delaware and happened to find this place online. After doing a bit of research, we decided to give it a try — and we’re so glad we did! Definitely coming back!

    Everything was good for Mother's Day. I really enjoyed the food. Unfortunately, I did not know that they were ending breakfast at 1pm. My reservation was at 1:15pm. Normally brunch ends at 3pm. I was so disappointed that I missed the brunch menu. I was really looking forward to the bread pudding French toast and seafood omelet. I had it before and that is why I wanted to come back to this restaurant for exactly that. I made my reservations a couple of months in advance. If I would have known that this was happening, I would have changed my reservation to an earlier time. Other than that, the food is always exceptional. The steak was the best my family ever tasted. Jimmy's oysters was so good. The baked sweet potato was very tasty. The Zeus roll was scrumptious. The crabcake was flavorful. The fries were crispy and just so darn good. The garlic bread was fresh and baked to perfection. I was not a fan of the red velvet cake for dessert. But the Waffle dessert was so delicious. Thanks for another good time at Jimmy's.
