Thames Street Oyster House

The lobster rolls here are amazing. The bread and butter are super fragrant, and a big bite of lobster meat is super satisfying! It's also very nice to walk around here after dinner.

Me and my homegirl came in for a quick bite before the kitchen closed, and oh boy was it worth it! This is a very cozy little nook, with a gorgeous bar running the length of the venue. We're on a pretty tight budget as grad students so we stuck to only the appetizers, but I can confirm that the prices are fair for the quality. We had the Scallop Ceviche with Coconut Milk, the Portuguese Sardines, Blackberry oysters, and Katama Bay oysters. Everything was so fresh and clean, and for those just getting into raw sea food I highly recommend stopping here. I was especially delighted by the Scallop Ceviche, as the buttery-richness of the scallop was elevated by the addition of coconut milk, and found that the tobiko added a textural interest. I would definitely come back to order this again. The Portuguese Sardines were pretty neutral, and I was hoping for a bit more flavor. However this has nothing to do with the restaurant, and more so with the tinning company. The bread provided was lightly buttered then grilled, and was the perfect size for the tin of sardines. Beyond that, the staff was attentive, very informed, and kind. It is no surprise that this place gets so busy!

Incredible dinner, incredible service and a great locations. What more could you ask for?Gnocchi really is the best pasta when it's done right. The lobster gnocchi pasta dish with chanterelle mushrooms was to die for.

Definitely a place to visit to get the Baltimore experience and a great summation of Fells Point. This place has character and history, but it is well maintained and clean. The food is predominantly American, but has a bit of French/Italian techniques. It is relatively simple but effective and in the end you get a delicious meal with a great atmosphere with a romantic setting perfect for certain events. The area is great to walk around after a meal. Parking can be a bit expensive, but it is worth it for a night out. It's not super busy in the area as long as you know the roads and have GPS. Less turns are beneficial. The service here was spectacular. I have to say thank you for the detail and service during dinner. Water was always refilled and every part of dinner had attention to detail. With all things considered, this is really an amazing place and they deserve being around for ages to come.

Food: phenomenal. Lobster roll is a must have, oysters are fresh and delicious, mussels were tasty. Service: have had multiple servers wait on us here and all have been superb! Friendly, attentive, vibe with our group and joke along with us, make good food recommendations. Ambiance: intimate, cozy space, no frills.

We didn't have a reservation so had to wait about 20/30 min for a table but it was worth it! My husband and I tried both soups- the lobster bisque and the brisket Maryland crab. Both were to die for. We then split the best lobster roll in Baltimore. The warm buttery bun and the fresh lobster meat was just incredible. Great fries and oysters too. Overall fantastic experience and can't wait to come back!

This place is great! I have now been here twice, and both times was thoroughly impressed with the seafood. Probably would be good to make a reservation if you can, we were quoted a 15 minute wait around 1p the day after Thanksgiving but ended up squeezing in at the bar right away. We tried the lobster roll and the crab cake entree. Lobster roll was buttery and delicious, on an extra tasty and crispy bun! My husband said the crab cake was the best he has ever had. It's got just a dollop of sauce on the top, it was probably enough but I found myself rationing it (I'm a saucy gal) so would have liked a bit more tbh. Service was swift and kind, and the decor is classy but with a nice nautical theme of lots of seafood tins around. Highly recommend for some high quality seafood in Fells Point.

My husband and I had dinner at Thames Street Oyster House for my birthday last month after it had been on my to try list for years. Thames Street Oyster House is in a great location (Fells Point), is old school in the best possible way (old building, not renovated to look like every other place now), and has great service. The menu is what you would expect - seafood galore. We ordered some oysters and clams from their raw bar, their Dutch pickled herring plate, a scallop ceviche (with coconut, lime, aji rocoto, avocado, red onion, cilantro, and tobiko), and their Gulf of Maine Hake (with slow stewed San Marzano tomatoes, linguica, fava beans, tourne potatoes, and braised egg). (My husband also got a a serving of their Maryland crab soup with short rib, but I didn't try it). I really enjoyed the food. I adore pickled herring, but don't see it on menus all that often. Such a great starter. And the ceviche was great as well - bright, fresh, a little spicy! And the hake? A great dish. Hearty and and warming on a cold day! Overall, Thames Street really lived up to my expectations of it. I had heard it was a Baltimore classic, and I can see why!

If you're looking for oysters and raw bar, this is the place. I wouldn't recommend their other dishes, but their selection for raw bar and oysters is quite awesome. Their special was the clam chowder today, but the style was not my favorite (watery style soup).We didn't opt for the combo or seafood tower because we wanted to try all the oysters, so we ordered few pieces of both the local and imported oysters to compare. Prices are slightly high, but worth a try. Parking is horrible, only street parking and you have to be an expert at parallel parking. Area surrounding is really nice as well.

Love love this place. The seafood is so fresh and everything is made in house. The oysters have a variety of selections to choose from and super fresh. The lobster roll had chunks of lobster. The clam chowder was so flavorful. The gnocchi was spot on and had tons of flavor as well. Great place for a date night
