    The crabs were well seasoned and were delicious for my first time trying an actual crab. Their crab pretzel is delicious and the sandwiches are also good. The server was very attentive and friendly. Food came out quick. Definitely recommend.

    Staff was good. Food was tasty. Crab cake imperial was tasty with not much filler 👏🥳but could use a little more flavor. (Only negative: Didn't like seeing one of them use their fingers to grab lemons for a customer even though there were small tongs for that.🫣😮‍💨) If crowded, parking can be a challenge so they provide a shuttle from another location.

    5 stars for Nick's Fish House! The food and service were absolutely exceptional from start to finish. We came specifically for the seafood, and they did not disappoint. The steamed crabs were hot, fresh, and perfectly seasoned—exactly what you want in Baltimore. The oysters were another highlight; we tried them fresh on the half shell, and they were incredibly crisp and juicy. Don't sleep on the wings either—the Old Bay wings are super tasty and a must-order. Great vibe on the waterfront, and our server made the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!"

    We came back for a second visit just so we could finally experience this spot — and it was absolutely worth the wait. The first time we tried on a Saturday night, the crowd and long wait spoke for itself. This place is clearly a local favorite for good reason. This visit, the rainy weather worked in our favor with no wait time at all. We shared the gumbo soup, calamari, and a half dozen medium blue crab legs, and every dish was flavorful, fresh, and more than satisfying for two people. When the weather is nice, this is truly the place to be. Guests can relax along the dock, enjoy the waterfront views, and listen to live music while soaking in the atmosphere. A perfect spot for great seafood, good vibes, and an unforgettable experience.

    A fantastic spot to gather with family and friends, where the vibe is lively and welcoming. The seafood is impeccably fresh. The cream of crab soup is a must order — luxuriously rich and loaded with sweet crab meat in every spoonful. Truly unforgettable as you savor slowly the whole bowl. The lightly battered fried calamari arrives golden and crisp, delicate rather than heavy — best enjoyed piping hot when the exterior still crackles and the inside stays tender. A place that delivers both comfort and coastal indulgence in every bite. Friendly and attentive staff.
