50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Rosedale

“We come to eat at the Rosedale location maybe once a month. Even on long waits when we are extra hungry, we always request Draven because he is a rockstar! Our drinks are never empty and requests such as extra napkins, gloves, bibs etc are always met expeditiously. We never have to wait long for food and it is always fresh and hot. Our family are creatures of habit and we typically get the same thing every time. Let’s start with the clam chowder. A generous bowl with a heaping portion of clam. We especially enjoy the crackers on the side for our picky toddler to nibble on. For dinner I always get the Cajun boil with the hook n reel blend *spicy* with sausage and hard boiled eggs as an add on. I like to get a 20 oz. draft ipa. It pairs very well with the spiciness of the boil. Our toddler usually ends up with tenders and sweet potato waffle fries. Recently she has started to eat broccoli (hallelujah!) so we get that on the side as well. For a family of 3, we spend around $130. If you request Draven, please expect to be amazed by the service and expect to tip at LEAST 20% for impeccable service. For those bad at math, 20% of $130 is $26, which I like to bump up to $30. Sorry this was so long! If you got this far, enjoy your dinner at Hook n Reel in Rosedale. We always do!“

“I live in New Jersey and I have ordered multiple shipments from Kahler's regularly. I am very satisfied with the overall experience. All shipments arrived on time, were packaged will, and crabs received were as described in size when ordering. I have ordered from other sellers in Maryland and they have not been able to compete with the taste or quality. I would highly recommend ordering from Kahler's and not anywhere else. In my book Kahler's have the best crabs in Maryland for shipment and I will only be ordering from them going forward having tried multiple other places at this point. 5 stars all the way for Kahler's . I hope this review helps others to know Kahler's is the place to order from and you will not be disappointed. THANK YOU Kahler's for offering great service and great tasting crabs perfectly seasoned.“

“we love our Chisty, and the new York strip of course“

“Love the seasoning he uses“

“Food is excellent and so is the server Rubi! Will eat here again“

“Food & service is superb. A great dining experience“

“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!“

“Great food. Alexis was the best server ever!!!“

“Gretta was great. Had 1 bad crab out of 12 Kate replaced no problem and no questions asked.“

“Pros: great happy hour deals $2 crab special Very big blue crabs Spice and seasoning is amazing Food was delicious Food comes out quickly. Decor is nice. Drinks are strong! Cons: Our server was brand new and didn't know the menu or policies well so that impacted our ability to order things (but once we figured things out, the food was fantastic) and her serving skills were mediocre at best. She kept asking if we wanted more to order despite seeing we hadn't finished our course (we ordered a lot of crabs). Then when we needed her she was nowhere to be found. She brought our check before we were close to done. Felt rushed even though she said no rush she came back 3 times to check if we put our cards down.“

“This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and I was really impressed! Drove a hour away! 😬 The food was delicious, they had a variety of oysters, atmosphere was great, and the service made the experience even better. Kimberly was my server and she was absolutely amazing friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout my visit. She really went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This was my first time there. Crabs were spot on, in size and price. Service was amazing. Easy parking. Great views. I'll be back.“

“Let me start with this — the food was great. Everything we ordered was fresh, seasoned right, and worth the trip. Baltimore seafood never disappoints, and Jimmy's definitely held it down on that end. Now for the real talk: the vibe when I first walked in? Off. The hostess straight-up left me standing there after I checked in — no “we'll seat you soon,” no “we're waiting on your party,” nothing. Just silence and attitude. When I asked what was going on, she finally says, “Oh, we don't seat until your whole party's here.” Cool. I get policies. But communication and tone cost zero dollars. Once I got past that energy, the food and overall atmosphere made up for it. Lively crowd, good music, and delicious food. Bottom line: Jimmy's, your food is A1 — but please put some warmth and professionalism up front. The hostess is the face of the experience, and that first impression matters. Don't let bad energy block good seafood.“

“seafood broil snow crab legs fish platter everything is soooo good“

“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!!!“

“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!!!!“

“The food and staff were amazing!“

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

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

“absolutely the best dinner i’ve had in a longgggg time. we split the steak and crab cake and we were so completely satisfied!!! will come back soon and often!!“

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

“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!“

“Justin was our server for Sunday Brunch. He was very attentive & friendly. The food was delicious & came out fast! We will definitely we back & be sure to ask for Justin!“

“Outdoor seating was a perfect ambiance. The crab soup was excellent with sweet crabmeat on top. Seafood boil was excellent. Crab cakes were delicious. First crab cake I’ve had that was actually crab meat and not bread crumbs.“

“A good combination of great food, service and atmosphere !“

“Always good always hot always fresh i also love how neatly the crabs r placed in the bag an season is on time!!!!! Dave is always kind prices always great wish i could give 1000 stars keep up the great work Dave I appreciate u“

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

“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!“

“the food was excellent!! couldn't have asked for better. our waiter's name was John and was the absolute best!!“

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

“Food so good . Cajun catfish delicious“

“We drove Fromm Annapolis- 50 minute drive. Crystal was our server on Sunday afternoon. She was super pleasant and kind. The atmosphere was fabulous and comfortable. We ordered a dozen large crabs and they were full, heavy and amazing. The seasoning was perfect too. We will be back again for sure! I highly recommend this wonderful out of the way restaurant. Worth the drive!!“

“I was sooo excited to try this place after my boyfriend kept talking about it. We went on a Saturday evening and had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. We were seated upstairs. Our waitress Mellisa was AMAZING!!!!! She offered her suggestions on what to order. She also made theeeee BEST Long Island Iced Teas!!! She mentioned she has been with the company/restaurant and I can tell why! She is a GEM! I ordered the lump crab cake that came with shrimp and asparagus. I ordered rosemary potatoes as an additional side. He ordered the Lump crab imperial (came in a small black skillet) and had a sauce in it. Food was very tasteful!!! I even had some leftover to take home. Believe the hype! This IS SEAFOOD at its finest!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I don't love seafood & I never eat crab because I don't like the sweet meat. However, upon a recommendation of a few relatives, I had the crab cake platter. I enjoyed the flavor & texture very much & I ate the whole thing! There was a tiny piece or 2 of shell, but I honestly didn't mind it because it was so good. The fries & green beans were good as well. Though I would have preferred not to have any stems still be on the beans, they were fresh & nicely prepared. Thank you for a wonderful meal & experience.“

“Today we took our young kids here for lunch and it was exactly what we were looking for! Great outside dining area on the water and we asked to be sat right next to the kids area (which was perfect!) so that our little one could play while we enjoyed our food and drinks. Everything was delicious and we felt the prices on food and drinks were very reasonable. We will definitely be back!“

“Great crabs great customer service“

“Today is the second time I have gotten Steamed Crabs from them, and just like the first time, this time the Crabs 🦀 were excellent. This is now going to be my go to place for Crabs.“

“Best crabs I had in years! Season well heavy meaty with lots of the yellow sauce inside! I don’t like the butter. The staff is nice. The shrimp is good as well . I live 45 minutes away I don’t care I will take the ride lol. Check them out you will not be disappointed“

“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!“

“Our first time here was for a private party/ anniversary lunch. The food was great. The servers and hostesses were fabulous. Will definitely return for lunch or dinner.“

“Every time we come our waitress Sue gives us the ultimate dining experience. She has been the best waitress I’ve ever had anywhere. The food is always exceptional, and by far the most delicious seafood around here. Always a perfect 5 star ⭐️“

“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 !“

“The 2 ladies were very nice they went above and beyond when they didn’t have too. I work industry and hospitality is a big deal where I come from in SC I don’t mind tipping and i understand at the end of the night when closing everybody is ready to go but they were very nice and still made sure to be professional and I will be back just because of that

Remember Tesh I have an addiction to crabs this my first time and won’t be my last“

“We had our wedding here. Island View Waterfront Cafe was everything we envisioned for our wedding!! It had that backyard wedding feel with GORGEOUS waterfront views! Jess was absolutely amazing to work with and her love for weddings and desire for you to have your dream day is evident after working with her. She is a great communicator and was a huge help during the different planning stages of our wedding. During our rehearsal and on the day of I came to her with all the questions and she had already had the answers and plans for those worked out and she is a HUGE reason why our day went so smoothly! We love and Cherish being an Island View Couple!! Some cool perks: flexibility to pick our own vendors; chairs and tables were included in the rental; we rented out the the evening before for our rehearsal and hosted an informal pizza party as we were setting up and organizing all the decor which made everything so much easier; you get to work with Jess and I can't say enough good things about her!!“

“In July, we bought 2 bushels of crabs because we had people coming from out of state. They were the best crabs we ever had. They were really fantastic. Captain Jimmys took very good care of us. We now will be a lifetime customer. Getting ready to order crabs for Labor Day. I would highly recommend getting your crabs captain Jimmys. 10 stars“

“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.“

“Some times there can be so much salt but if you let them know they will not put as much I've been coming here for a years and the experience is always top-notch. The staff is consistently friendly, helpful, and professional—they really make you feel welcome every time. On top of that, the prices are hard to beat, especially for the quality of crabs you get. Fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned! If you're looking for a go-to spot for great crabs and great service, this is definitely it.“

“The food was really good. Was able to get a last minute reservation however we were seated next to the bathroom and kitchen. Which I would not recommend. Extremely too much traffic. I would recommend going since the oysters were delicious but would ask to not be seated by the bathroom“
