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!“

“If you’re looking for a home-style spot to enjoy some great crabs, Khaler’s is the place to go. The food is consistently delicious, and the service is solid.

I’d recommend calling ahead to place your order and secure your spot, especially if it’s busy. Definitely a go-to for a relaxed, satisfying meal.“

“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.“

“I love the crabs, food and drinks.“

“My first time in Baltimore and Jimmy's was my first stop. Carl, the manager was outstanding. He told me about the restaurant, it's history and the many stars that have eaten there. The 2 waitresses that looked after me were friendly, helpful, and fun to chat with. Great place to eat, amazing food, a fun place. I'll definitely go to a Jimmy's again next time I'm in Baltimore!“

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

“I would never go anywhere else but Conrad's Parkville. They are the best“

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

“Good portions. Lump crab cake was a good 8.5/10. For the cost and being good cab with minimum binder/filler.

Soft Crab was mushy and no so great.

The other meals were solid and great portions for the price.

Service was good.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Nothing like the Birdland; ½ lb steamed shrimp 🦐 & ½ lb wings 🐔— the perfect combo. Had to get a ½ dozen crabs too 🦀 Great food, even better company, and top-tier service every time, thanks to Stephanie! We truly love being able to have dinner here!“

“The food is very good, but It is a little pricey. I am disappointed to find out yesterday that they no longer have the French dip grilled cheese sandwich on their menu. Why not??“

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

“perfect everytime.. mex.males meaty flavorful and not a mushy crab ever. run to.get you some!! the other C place is good but these are better!“

“Chef Tad and Sherry enjoyed the fried green tomatoes covered with lump crab followed by fried oysters. To end with the Key Limb cheese cake was superb. Well worth the visit especially when bathed in classical music by the talented pianist on a Friday or Saturday evening. We will return.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Awesome a great Baltimore tradition for crabs, recently enjoyed the soup flight that comes with bread and it was amazing, I recommend the seafood gumbo.. my new favorite, engaging prompt bartender, sitting at the bar alone still felt so welcoming, 63 year old female FYI.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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'll definitely go back. The Food was amazing.“

“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 !“

“Ordered take out for the first time , love the inside of this place… really nice. Food was good.. I got a chicken Caesar wrap, crab egg rolls , kids chicken tenders and fries.
If you like chicken cutlets you will love the kids chicken tenders js very good..“

“Food so good . Cajun catfish delicious“

“Visited Riley’s Oyster House this past weekend with a local friend while visiting from Miami Beach, and I have to say I was really impressed with the atmosphere, the food, and especially the service.

Our server, Aallyah, was spectacular. Even though the restaurant was very busy, she was attentive, friendly, and made excellent recommendations throughout our visit. She took great care of us and really enhanced the overall experience.

We started with the whitefish dip, which was excellent. I also had a bowl of the cream crab soup and a shrimp salad wrap, both of which were delicious. To top it off, we enjoyed a Big Truck Topless Blonde draft, which paired perfectly with the meal.

Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in town. My only hope is that the service is as good as what we received from Aallyah. She set a very high bar. Highly recommend Riley’s Oyster House!“
