50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Fallston

“I just have to share the fantastic experience we had tonight. My husband and I went to The Local around 6:30 pm (prime time without reservations lol). The only available seats were a high top table in the bar area. They asked us if that was ok and we said “sure”. Within a minute or so after being seated, it became apparent that our vision of a nice relaxing dinner would be impossible in that room. The Preakness was about to begin, and that bar was loud and hopping! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, I love to see people enjoying themselves. It was a party, but just wasn’t our vibe tonight. We decided we would go elsewhere. We politely informed the hostess that we were going to leave because it was just a tad too noisy, but that we would definitely return again soon. We stressed that we were not mad, or upset. As we were walking to our car, a very nice gentleman followed us out and asked if we would consider returning if they could sit us elsewhere. We said “Of course!” We didn’t think there were any other available tables, but he said they would work something out for us. We told him we didn’t expect them to go out of their way for us and that we could wait. Within five minutes, we were seated at a lovely table in the dining room. We later learned the gentleman that helped us was none other than the owner/ executive chef Zack. We went on to have a delicious dinner with the most attentive and charming server. They demonstrated exemplary customer service, which sadly is lacking in many other establishments. We weren’t expecting any special treatment, but they certainly went above and beyond for us, and it was very much appreciated! When we were leaving, Zack happened to be outside, so he made sure to ask how our experience was. We told him it was amazing, and that his restaurant has been one of our favorites since it opened. We told him we would be back soon. Our experience there tonight is just one of many examples why this restaurant stands out, and why we will always highly recommend them! Thank you all so much for proving customer service is not a dying art!“

“Basta Pasta We went there for Father’s Day and Paul’s birthday on July 3rd, just Paul, Brian and me. For his birthday Paul ordered the New York Strip steak with two sides, me and Brian ordered Chicken Chesapeake. Mine and Brian’s were great, 1/2 pound of crab cake over a chicken breast with a lemon sauce, it was delicious. We ordered with red potatoes that were fabulous. Now we come to Paul’s steak. He said it was the best steak he ever had. It was thick and juicy and had a charred outer crust. He shared with us. He ordered asparagus and red potatoes with his. All was served with a big bowl of salad and bread that we shared before our entree. How was that for a review?“

“First time at Libs Bel Air! Went on themed Movie Brunch 7/14/24. Loved the classy way it looked. Food and service was good! A lady named Dani came over to check on us and was so welcoming she even looked like she was handling all that was going on an we were impressed. Will be back!“

“On July 25th I ordered 1 doz. Large Steamed Crabs ($95) from Madonna Seafood. Madonna "used" to be the best place for crabs. They were always consistently seasoned well....that was not the case yesterday. This dozen was completely dried out...they were either VERY overcooked or my guess is they were re-cooked. Definitely not worth $95....please retrain your steaming team or you will lose business. i will be going elsewhere.“

“Nice friendly atmosphere. The food and steamed crabs were excellent. We were a party of 12 and our waitress, Barb, was very friendly and accommodating.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent food. The Cajun Fried Rice is maybe the best I’ve ever had, with plenty of huge shrimp. The rest of the menu is great too! I like to get shrimp “Juicy, Hot”. 🤤“

“Great burgers and crab cakes. Family friendly. Dare to try something outside the ordinary. Good food in a bowling alley restaurant! Wow! Private parties can be catered as well both inside the restaurant or on the bowling lanes with special set up! The chef can prepare whatever you like!“

“Everything from the food to the service was superb. Customers extremely easy to talk with friendly environment. Crabs are amazing. I have had a great time and thank you for making this the most pleasurable experience.“

“Bought mediums & corn last weekend. Spice mix on the crabs was spot on and not skimpy. Corn was out of this world good. Prices beat the other 2 crab places west on Joppa Road significantly. Do not sleep on Pete's a diamond in the rough.“

“At a recent visit, we ordered the Family #3 (1 whole rotisserie chicken plus 2 Large sides). The chicken was amazing, it's definitely enough for 4 people.; The large size of the sides was enormous & enough for 4 people. The fired plantain side had 15 pieces of plantain in it.“

“We haven't been here since it was sold. The place is beautiful! The food was excellent and our waitress, Holly was the bomb diggity!!! We had the CRAB COW BERGER and it was the best burger we ever . Moist beef and the crab cake with crab imperial was divine. The fries were cooked perfect, nice and crunchy but just as soft on the inside. They were NOT coated! Prices were very reasonable. When you get food like this, you don't mind what it costs as long as it is great. Again, ask for Holly to be your waitress. The best server we have had in a long time. Professional but down to earth and she was on top of everything. We went to celebrate our birthday's. Holly even sang when she brought our cake out! What a FANTASTIK time we had. Please go and enjoy the staff and food... you won't be disappointed!!! Thanks for everything Holly!“

“Our food was excellent and service was outstanding. Dawn was our waitress, It has been a long time since we had a waitress that earned her tip. Dawn took our order, served our order, check on us several times while dining, and finally gave us our check. Most waitress now take your order and give you your check and want a 20% tip.“

“Tasty, affordable, premade meals and goodies. Absolute gem here in Parkville. Will be back frequently.“

“Tried for the first time tonight. We really enjoyed the hotpot! Came with a 10, 5, and 3 year old. Kids really enjoyed it and the staff were so good with them. Even left with balloon swords.“

“Ordered off of their catering menu for my wife's birthday. I purchased the Margharita Seafood Special with shrimp, scallops and lump crabmeat in a rose' cream sauce and it was excellent! The homemade meatballs jad everybody raving and their sausage, onions and peppers in marinara sauce was also great. Thankfully we had some left overs that we are still enjoying. Lastly was their Greek salad, very fresh and loaded with feta cheese. I definitely recommend these folks for your next lunch or dinner or when you need an event catered. Call and ask for Saul and he and the staff there will take great care of you!!“

“This place is nice. Owners are very nice. Upgraded a lot and atmosphere is very welcoming. I have a complaint about the bartender Dar or Darcy something they call her. Never smiles Comes to you and look at you but don’t ask what can I get you. She waits for you to say something. Acts like she don’t want to be there. Does not know how to make mixed drinks and gets an attitude when you ask. She is bad for business. She waits on who she choose to wait on. I have heard a few people complain about her. You’re doing a fine job don’t let one bad seed ruin it. Put a ad in the paper or advertisement looking for customer oriented bartenders. She not it“

“A range including sushi, hibachi, & Chinese. It's all good, but the sushi is our favorite. This may be the best, freshest & well-prepared sushi restaurant in the county. Very informal comfortable & dark atmosphere. If you love sushi or sashimi you'll be delighted with the results from Steven, the NYC-trained sushi chef & owner. This is a fine example of the Japanese tradition of preparation & presentation.“

“Their food was amazing! Highly recommend them. Great food and fast delivery!“

“Food has always been delicious. Our server Tiffany was wonderful. The grilled chicken with cheese LT and fries was very reasonable and tasty at $15. Unfortunately our app of Mozzarella Kabobs was quite small. Two skewers with 8 quarter size pieces for $12 was very over priced. Suggestion either increase the quantity of the app or please lower the price. Definitely will not order that again.“

“Delicious food ✅ Cozy atmosphere ✅ Friendly and attentive server ✅ Reasonably priced ✅ Hughly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I’ve been coming to Pats for as long as I can remember. About 8 years ago it became a regular thing for my husband and I. We met our favorite server around then and are so grateful to get to continue going back and getting amazing quality service. Heather is an amazing asset to Pats. No matter day or night when she’s on the floor running the dinning room, our dinning experience is A+. Sad to see she’s no longer on tables on Wednesday’s we were so surprised. But that didn’t stop us, we just come on the weekends. We visit on her shifts only so we know we are guaranteed top notch service. She knows the menu front to back, always has any answers to our questions we need and always serves us with a smile and awesome attitude. If you’re looking for good food portions, and amazing service stop in and dine with Heather! Best server around :)“

“Food is amazing service was fast ! I HIGHLY recommend ! So glad this place came to Bel Air !“

“I was out running errands and instead of going for fast food or other popular restaurants, I went to this bar because they had corned beef and cabbage on St Patrick's day which was awesome so I tried their spaghetti and meat sauce. It took a while to get waited on, food was was good. The sides they listed on menu board were extra cost and do not come with your meal which I thought was odd. They didn't have any parmesan cheese for my meal which I missed having. They have plenty of tv's to watch the O's. Pool tables,shuffleboard, several beers on tap. I will go back because I try to support local bussinesses. I think I caught them on an off day thus the reason I gave 4 stars.“

“I love the food there! I live across the street from them“

“Definitely call ahead to order because they get very busy at times, especially at night. Great food for a great price I got the #6 2 pc catfish combo and fries for 8.99. the box was filled with fries on the bottom, and the catfish pieces were very big, it was almost like you were eating 4 pieces from another restaurant. The fried chicken is also pretty good too, 11.99 was how much it cost for 8 pieces and it was cooked well. Would recommend to anyone looking for a cheap but good restaurant to eat at.“

“We stopped on a whim today 7/20/25 for a bite to eat. Tony was our bar tender and had great recommendations. We had a cowboy burger and black mussels! It’s a nice clean place and atmosphere. We will be back! Krista & Brad“

“Our group of 9 had reserved the party area which was quite spacious and separated from the majority of the restaurant. DeJa was our server. She was capable, helpful and always smiling. The Dungeness crabs were absolutely delicious! The kids loved the crab balls & Key lime pie too. We look forward to our next visit.“

“Best shrimp salad!!! You can purchase by the pound. Nice option for those of us watching carbs“

“Food was great and take out was extremely efficient“

“IND Luncheon class of "71. The food was excellent, and the service was very good. The ladies were all saying how good the food was! We did in March and coming back in April. I would recommend Bowman. I eat there every Monday in the bar. I am never disappointed.“

“Our food was great and the staff were super friendly! Definitely adding Crust Pizza to our carry out rotation. The ice cream sandwiches are must try!“

“This place is a hidden gem. The food and service are great! It is tucked away, off the beaten path. Not to be missed!“

“Sooo good! Best bang for your buck. Best Chinese/Japanese in the area. Cannot beat the price. I’m pretty sure I’m eating Mai Fun for three days. Highly recommend. Do not order through grub hub if you can. They’re a small business with free delivery within a 5 miles radius. Let’s not give them a percentage of our money. Support small businesses, that’s how they keep it affordable for us.“

“The chef was outstanding. Should get a large raise.“
