Since 1974, Jimmy's has exhibited a commitment to excellence in the restaurant industry second to none.

    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!

    This was my first time having dinner here, but it won't be my last. We were celebrating a Birthday. The drinks were superb; the meals were amazing and the desert sinched the day, with smith Island chocolate cake. The entire staff made you feel welcome. Everyone was professional and about their business. What great place to have dinner. I look forward to having dinner their again.
