“This was by far the BEST seafood in the area. Food was delicious, service was superb, staff very friendly. Shuttle service right on point! Overall experience 10/10 in all areas. I definitely will be back and telling everyone looking for great seafood and experience! Thank you!“

“Definitely a 10/10 spot went there around 7:30 for dinner !! Food was awesome and in good prices I got a crab cake for 18$ with a 2 dollar add on for fries and coleslaw. Recommend getting there early just because wait times are crazy. Service was awesome I was there 5/21 and sitting on the first floor outside the server was amazing but sadly I can’t remember the young girls name she was tall and skinny. I’m definitely coming back!!!“

“I love the mamas on the half shell in Owings Mills. The food is great and I am a frequent diner. I love Mary, Alaina, and Gavin the best. They are so courteous and customer service orientated. The crab soup there and the cream of crab is to die for. Also love their coddies! The restaurant is beautiful and I also love sitting outside as well. Always seems very clean. Would highly recommend this restaurant. Mindy.“

“Rusty Scupper was amazing. The goold was delicious but what really set them apart was how they went the extra mile for my parents anniversary dinner. I got my parents a gift card and made reservations, in the reservation saying it wasy parents anniversary celebration, could they give them a quiet table. They did that and so very much more. My mom can't stop talking about how incredible they were, how special she felt, how incredible the food was and how she had 3 wait staff, one in training but she had never felt so special in her life. Her excitement and joy makes me smile and I want everyone to know that Rusty Scupper could have set them in a nice table and said Happy Anniversary, that would have been great service but what they did was make an unforgettable memory for my parents. Going above and beyond, thank you Rusty Scupper staff, thank you so very much. You gave my parents an experience that is above and beyond "like something out of a movie" mom keeps saying!!!!“

“Best Crabs. I'll see yall tomorrow 10/15“

“I Love It Here!!! I’ve Been About 4-5 Times, Each Visit Was Great Customer Service, Food, Vibe, Drinks All A+“

“I usually don’t eat Indian food, too spicy, but the ambassador makes the food just perfect for my taste. Special occasions when the mood is right, we go to the ambassador for that special taste of Indian cuisine. I’ve been going to the ambassador for the last 20 years. Today I drove 28 miles from home just to enjoy dinner at this great restaurant. Thank you for the good food and good service.“

“Great place to come eat and enjoy family and friends. They also have live music, fantastic.“

“I have been wanting to come to this restaurant since it opened and i kept seeing it on tik tok. The food and atmosphere was amazing and i loved how quaint the establishment was. Our waiter Tony was amazing and made my mom’s birthday everything and more. Our drinks and service was 10/10“

“I love the crabs, food and drinks.“

“As a non seafood eater, this restaurant doesn't believe steak is just to have on the menu, they do it just like a steakhouse does. In fact my favorite filet mignon restaurant is Ringside in Portland, Jimmy's was better. I would take Jimmy's over Mortens, McComick & Schmicks or Ruth's Criss. Thanks for making mme enjoy my dinner as much as my wife enjoyed her 1lb crab cake.“

“My 60th surprise dinner was held here and it was festive and the waitstaff and food were amazing!“

“We went to Indigma this evening for restaurant week. The food was fantastic and my nine-year-old loved everything! She gave it a 1523/10 rating! Though everything was excellent, the creme brulee was the best I've ever had. Thank you for a fantastic meal!“

“You know a restaurant is top notch when you’re willing to miss a flight just to dine there. That’s how I feel about Costas Inn. I had my first taste of their amazing, heavy, and very sweet crabs a few years ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Now, I gladly make the two-hour drive just to order six crabs — though I never make it past three! But what truly sets this place apart is the family atmosphere. Every visit feels like coming home. You’re always welcomed with a warm smile, and with every bite, you’re reminded why you came back. Tonight was extra special. Not only did I get to meet the owner’s daughter, who embodies the heartwarming smile and customer service this place is known for, but I was also lucky to be served by Dominic, our waiter. With the cutest smile and an attentive, friendly attitude, he made sure our experience was perfect from start to finish. If you ever get the chance to visit, don’t hesitate — grab a seat and start cracking!“

“great food worth every penny service was best“

“Gus was fabulous!!! Gus was so kind and very attentive to our service! Don't miss this place and especially ask for Gus. Food was beyond delicious!!! My new go to in Baltimore. We are even getting food for our flight home to Florida. The food is that phenomenal! Thank You Gus!“

“Food was delicious!!!! Delivered nice and hot. It was almost too pretty to eat. I can’t wait to order again!!“

“We stopped by after the Orioles game and were given great service despite being dressed rather casual for the game. We split the Nueske’s Cherrywood Smoked Bacon with Korean BBQ, the 22oz. Bone-In Ribeye, and the Creamed Spinach. All were delicious.“

“We celebrated my daughter's 21st birthday at Sotto Sopra last night and had the best experience! we were met by name at the door! Given prosecco when we arrived at our table! Had a delicious 3 course meal. And then dessert with sparkler! The atmosphere was amazing - beautiful decor, clean, perfect acoustics so you could hear and talk, but also wonderful selection of music playing in the background. And our waiter was just amazing and so attentive and friendly! Perfect restaurant for your special occasion! I cant wait to go back! Thank you for making our daughter's birthday so special!“

“Would come back if in the area!“

“Facebook Review: Luna Del Sea is a must-visit restaurant in downtown Baltimore! Not only is it conveniently located for convention-goers, but it also offers some of the best food in the area. The menu is packed with delicious options at very reasonable prices, and the warm, welcoming staff makes every visit feel special. They go above and beyond to ensure you have an incredible dining experience—by the end of your meal, you’ll feel like part of the family. Marc (The tall one!) and Danny are legendary for service and attention to detail! The true heart of Luna Del Sea is its owner, Tony. His inspiring story of entrepreneurial success is a testament to hard work and determination. If you’re in Baltimore, don’t miss the chance to enjoy the outstanding food, exceptional service, and uplifting atmosphere of Luna Del Sea. Highly recommend!“

“Something Magical about this place! Crabs are very heavy and reasonably priced. My "fav"is Snow Crab Legs and that golden steamed corn on cobb. Staff members, always smiling, very knowledgeable about their product; each one seems very happy to have his/her job, so courteous. BLAKE'S is the Best in Baltimore!“

“I think I died and went to heaven lol. I was at a neighborhood outdoor festival and ordered from their food truck there. I expected it to be half the amount of food I received and delightfully surprised at the amount of food I got for $11! I can see why they have 100% positive ratings. Quality and quantity at the same time is rare! I ate the tofu nuggets with the peanut sauce and my pallet hasn’t experienced that type of satisfaction in decades lol! 🤩😋 Delicious!!!“

“Simply put…W O W! The history alone drew me to stop in. The food will keep me coming back! If you haven’t, why? Incredible crabs and a clean, relaxed atmosphere and staff! See y’all again SOON!“

“I had fried chicken and French fries, and it was exactly how I like it. It was well done and well-seasoned. Actually, it was the best and had it twice in a row. He listened to what I wanted, and he made it happened.“

“Hubby and I ordered for the first time and picked it up. The salmon and shrimp dishes are seasoned so well yet simple and cooked perfectly! While calling to order the young man I spoke with was very patient and helpful while I asked questions to ensure eating the food was safe for my dietary restrictions.“

“Thank you to Dimitri and the Black Olive staff for a wonderful dinner and memorable evening. The food was remarkable, the wine spectacular and the service splendid. Worth the hour plus drive!“

“Great crabs great customer service“

“Picked up a bushel for our 4th of July cookout and they were great….heavy, good flavor, seasoned just right. Steamed corn was very good and sweet! First time ordering & will definitely be the new go-to place!“

“Excellent food , they certainly picked the right name for it because it’s bangin“

“The hostess and waitress were friendly and prompt. I requested a table with a view and we got one. Nice decor, good atmosphere. The menu selection was limited and there was no vegan option for me. The waitress spoke with the chef and he cobbled together something for me that had good flavor, but I had no idea was I was getting until it was served. My girlfriend's steak was a little tough (she struggled to cut it). Overall a good experience; a vegan option on the menu would be appreciated.“

“We had our daughters bridal shower their on Saturday March 4th. It was for 50 people. The food and the service was excellent. They went above, what we expected. The chef came out spoke to us and assisted in any way they could. The service was wonderful. If you are looking for a venu to host a party, "Hull Street Blues " is it. Wonderful, wonderful, service and great people !“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place! Every time we go here for dinner, we always enjoy! The staff is friendly and the owner Jerome is awesome! He comes to the table not only to greet you and to make sure everything is okay. He even takes the empty dishes off the table. He’s always helping out around the restaurant. Love this place!!!“

“The food was excellent and the atmosphere was excellent and waiters was excellent thank you for good prepared food“

“I visited Judy's Island off the recommendation of @A.I Brown. The restaurant had a nice vibe, the staff was very pleasant and accommodating, and the food was good!! I had the jerk chicken and my husband had jerk lambchops. Both were good...and we would visit again!“

“The food was very flavorful (steak fish and potatoe salad). The service was great. The price of the steak fish was excessive. $19.99lb. That's crazy. It's more than crab legs at a grocery store. The store could use a renovation.“

“Omg soooo good and worth the price. They two brothers are thee best. Very understanding and great communication. Also take ebt. We drive a hour there and an a hour back and it’s so worth it. Good stays fresh and hot Thanks always“

“Great food everything is good and you can see them cook your food“

“Was a long time ago last mi came, even better service now. Taste not to be reckoned wit. Proper no doubt. A.N.I.“

“Fire. Def give these folks a try!“

“Awesome salad!!! I love the atmosphere and music.“

“We stopped here on our way home, and it’s definitely a must-stop spot! Even though I’m not a big seafood lover, I decided to give it a try — I got wings (which were delicious) and some Alfredo too. I’m usually hesitant about seafood restaurants because there aren’t always many non-seafood options, but this place completely surprised me. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly.

The snow crabs were also amazing — the rest of my group couldn’t stop talking about them! Whether you’re a seafood fan or not, this place is worth the visit. Great food, great service, and such a fun stop on the way home.“

“Always love going here good prices meaty crabs“

“Great soft shell crab sando!“

“Update: my concern was heard and next time things were right! Thanks for honoring true customer experience and valuing long time customers. Anxiously awaiting your return for some md crabs! No one seasons like you guys! Original post: So I have been getting crabs from here for almost 20 years now. Each year I am awaiting the opening. When I heard last year that management would be changing I was nervous that my crab go-to would be no more. Last year went well - no change. But I got some for the first time this year a few weeks ago and I was disappointed. The seasoning was the same but I found a big variety in the size and weight of my crabs. This NEVER happened before and I always felt I got my monies worth. I will definitely give it another shot since I’ve been coming for so long - but I really hope that every crab in my order matches what I ordered .... we got xlarge and there were definitely a few that were closer to medium size and they were not all heavy! Nicks motto was we don’t sell junk - all crabs are heavy! Please let’s stay with that!!!!“

“Outstanding and delicious!! Atmosphere is superb!! Mrs. Hope was a great customer service lady!! Highly recommend!“

“Excellent“
