Hot spot

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.

A little in the pricey side, but the food was great. Great selection, even on the brunch menu. Our server was great, and the appetizer came out immediately, but our main course took almost 30 minutes to come out. We were in the back room that got fairly loud with all large parties in the room.

We ordered cup of half and half crab soup. “Cup” portion was perfect and worth $6. Delicious. I ordered a single crab cake platter for $32 which I thought was pricey and disappointing since only came with one side order. I got the mixed vegetables but could not have the carrots or potatoes so asked to sub with more of the other vegetables. My friend also got the normal mixed vegetables and hers was way bigger than mine so obviously they just took out the potatoes and carrots. Food was good. Service was adequate. Manager visited our table but way too early. We had only gotten water so nothing to comment on. Would have been helpful later. The place was crazy busy and loud as usual. They do good business but they are expensive. Ex. Over $66 for a double crab cake platter with one side is crazy. Also they charge a 3% fee for the kitchen staff so fyi.

Best crab cakes ever and our server was terrific. Only issue was a screaming toddler whose parents kept ignoring the child even when people stared at them

Always a great time! My favorite restaurant in Baltimore, hands down. I drive all the way from Dover, Delaware just to enjoy the top-tier seafood and unbeatable quality. The drinks are always on point, and the music sets the perfect vibe. Totally worth the trip every time!
