Love this restaurant. Ate there three times in April 2024 and twice in Dec 2024. Had Tuesday night crab cake special four of the visits and clams casino and octopus app the other time. Worth it every time. Service was great. Love the atmosphere as well. Try it. You will not be disappointed I assure you.

We came for dinner on Saturday, 1/25/25 with reservations at 7 pm, but the lobby area was very crowded. We didn't get seated until 45 minutes later. The restaurant shouldn't take more reservations than necessary. Our waitress Kimberly was very nice and attentive, but the broiled rockfish was overcooked and smaller than what we had in a previous visit. The best food item was the fried calamari appetizer, which was large and tender.Our table was close to other tables that you can hear their conversations so don't discuss anything personal. Finally, the women's bathroom stall floors were wet, but it was not raining or snowing that day. The men's bathroom paper dispenser was not working. Overall, I would not recommend coming here on a Saturday unless you're not hungry.

I went to by the docks to celebrate my birthday with family. I have been here before and it the excellent food is why I returned. This visit was bad..... I was extremely disappointed for my birthday but enjoyed my family. I got the land and sea as my meal and the oysters Rockefeller for appetizer. The oysters were pretty good but had entirely too much spinach, very overwhelming. Now to my meal.... My lobster was completely overcooked and looked that way. I was surprised the kitchen let it come out that way. My crab cake was good but looked old, like it was cooked much earlier and just sitting, the scallops were good and fresh. I cant say I will go back but I am glad I had one good experience.

This weekend, I wanted to go somewhere that offered a variety of things so I decided to come to By the Docks. I've been here a bunch of times and I've even taken my family for celebrations and brunch. I will say say that I like the new upgrades to the decor. This was my first time being in the bar area and the booth we had was cozy. Overall my experience was decent but I had a few gripes. 1. The salad used to come with the meal but a side salad was $6 and it came in a weird bowl. It took everything in me not to knock it over. 2. My server. He was much more attentive to a table that came in after us. He checked on them often but we basically only saw him when he took our order and gave us the check. We spent more time with the food runners. He also forgot one of my items that I ordered. I'm not sure if I was charged for it because I just paid the check and left. Now to the good part....I ordered way too many items to list each one but the food was great. I don't like that they have sides set for each entrée but they will allow you to substitute which is a plus. I will return but hopefully I'll have a different server next time.

One of my favorite restaurants. They do everything well here. The ambiance and decor make for an enjoyable atmosphere. I have eaten several times and haven't been disappointed with food or the service. The service is great. The wait staff is very professional and friendly no matter which person that you get.The theme nights are great. You get a great selection every night for each theme. I like them all. Some of my favorite are the lobster night seafood pasta, steak night and crabcakes. I urge to to checkout their website or FB for the themes and menusTonight I had a great porterhoise steak with fresh whipped potatoes and grilled zucchini. I always leave with lunch or dinner for the next day with large amount of leftovers.I hope to make a Sunday brunch next.

We enjoyed an amazing dinner here during Baltimore County Restaurant Week! One of the best and largest crabcakes I've had for the price. Service was good, food was excellent and the restaurant was clean and updated. Highly recommend!

This restaurant was recently remodeled, and a whole new atmosphere was created, very beachy and nautical...hanging canoes, lights suspended by ropes, and the amazing wall up stairs, yes, it was made of Oyster shells, what a masterpiece!They went all out in creativity.If you choose to dine upstairs, be prepared to climb lots if steps.Now, to the food, I ordered the meatball sub with homemade marinara sauce. The meatballs were so tender and flavorful, the sauce was well seasoned, and this came with an accompanying side salad and Cheaspeake potato chips.. free refills on soft drinks. The sub roll was very fresh, and the provolone on to was melted perfectly. The manager said they have brought back the weekend brunch buffet...$35. Only Sunday.Service was excellent, and there was plenty of free parking and handicapped accessible.

Came in town for surprise visit. My friends recommended this place for some seafood so we went. Started out by saying the food was okay. I ordered the Cream of crab soup. With boiled seafood platter. Buy me originally being from being Baltimore, I was not impressed with the crabcake. The service was excellent and the restaurant was not too bad. But all in all the food was pretty good.

Delicious Baseball sized crabcakes were great. Online ordering was a breeze and the staff were super friendly upon arrival. The hostess recommended me to come back and try the raw bar, so I will make my way back.
