This was my first time in Baltimore, and I tried the platter. I'm born and raised in Texas, and seafood has always been my favorite food. Apparently - I've never actually had it until now because it's unreal how good this was. I was licking the plate and my fingers. Delicious. Moist. Soft. Fresh water taste. It has totally changed how I expect my seafood to taste going forward.
And yes, the crab cake is a 10 out of 10, but honestly, the tilapia stole the show.
The servers were really friendly! Some of the dishes were great, others meh. I got the catch of the day which I chose the Mahi Mahi with crab on top with rice, really delicious but expensive. The oysters were average and the lobster Mac and cheese wasn't too good. We assumed the half and half soup tasted better separately. However the Caesar salad was great! They had a heated area outside to eat which felt really nice.
I had the ‘Crab grilled cheese’ and it was fantastic.
The food, service and atmosphere are all top notch. They seem to have a large variety of good seafood and I would recommend to anyone that enjoys a good evening by the pier with some good food. I would certainly go back and probably will be.

I had the Cauliflower Tacos with Sweet Potato Fries which was very tasty & more than enough (took some home)...I enjoyed my beer & wine....my colleagues did not feel the fun drinks had enough kick to them.
Or waitress appeared to be having a day with her lack luster attitude.
Nice view.
I'd try again
Great place to get crab cakes and clam chowder by the water. Service was great and the atmosphere was casual and fun. We were seated right away. There was room on the patio and inside. The inside is divided into different areas. The appetizers were really good and our server made some great recommendations.

We went here one Friday evening to support a friend who was performing live with the band. We had a great time! The band was lively and I really enjoyed my grapefruit crush, which I was told is one of the restaurant’s most popular drinks. Highly recommend! We all ordered fish tacos. They were just OK, but our server was great. Overall, this was a nice spot to spend a Friday night in the summer. The restaurant is off the water and has nice views and a fun atmosphere! Would go again and try something new.
Terrific view, food, and service. Worth eating outdoors even though it was near 100 degrees! The crab balls to start were terrific and the fish tacos were as well. Need to go back again when I have time to take apart a bucket of crabs!
Fantastic seafood restaurant on the water. The crabs were delicious and a good value for the quantity and size. The service we recieved was fantastic too. We will definitely be returning on our next trip to Baltimore!
Great place to visit! The crabs are a must have. Local specialty and great entertainment! The ahi tuna appetizer was amazing. Check the photos out and enjoy. Note they are not open late and can run out of their daily fresh catch crabs or oysters.
Update: this has now become our go to stop when we make this trip. We love switching up our orders and trying new things, we had the crab dip recently, it was so good🤌🏻. And I don't know where they get their oysters from, but my goodness they are delicious. But they did change the pickles, they're still good, but the ones from our first stop were better.
Original: Nick's was exactly what we were looking for. My husband and I were traveling from NC back to NY and decided to stop off in MD for a mid-drive break and fuel up. Crab cakes are what MD does, right? Nick's Fish House did not disappoint. The crab cake sandwich (pictured) was delicious, my husband got the crab cake grilled cheese, which was also delicious. We split a half dozen raw oysters as well, and my they were large and very good. Oh, and if this is important to you (I know it is to me) the pickles that came with the sandwiches were perfect! The vibe was totally laid back, perfect for a recharge, we sat at one of their two bars and while the bar seemed way too large for one bartender she was super friendly and did check on us a few times - cool harbor views, and a huge parking lot. It was a bit of a circular drive to get there, but they have a bunch of signage, that will get you there relatively easily.
Man, this place is awesome. Great view, great entertainment and great seafood. We order a whole bunch and it's wasn't super expensive (after all, we did order seafood). Crab cakes were awesome and so was the gumbo
Fun place to eat! Amazing location! we sat outside right on the water. Great live music and service. Awesome fish and chips with a nice batter, I loved the seasoning on the fries.
Second visit, date with my wife, and same stellar food! We had the bruschetta and fish and chips.
Great food and great location! Our food tasted delicious, Po boy sandwich, crab grilled sandwich, crab cakes 😋Crab stuffed pretzel is a must try! The service was super fast although it was jam packed when we were there. Definitely coming back!
It was our 1st time visiting, but won't be my last! We decided to stop here for dinner on our way back to PA from a trip to Washington D.C. We had a 40 minute wait, we didn't have reservations...and I'm not mad about the wait because MAN OH MAN was it WORTH IT. The atmosphere, the staff, the food all AMAZING. The staff from hostess to waitstaff were friendly, attentive, and kind. The food was cooked perfectly and served quickly. And well worth the wait and price. I can't wait to go back.
Great restaurant for food and entertainment. The service was hit or miss but the food was delicious. We literally had to take most of it home; just too much. Drinks were strong too. There was a live band there for most of our stay. Would definitely return.
RJ was our server for lunch today. He was quite kind and attentive. He checked on us regularly and also gave us space to enjoy our meal. The food was tasty and we would definitely like to come back.
First time to eat Maryland blue crabs and this place did NOT disappoint. Our waiter showed us what to do and we had a great time. My only complaints are: our server not knowing some basic menu features I.e. What the vegetables of the day are - to which he responded, it changes every week so unsure - didn't bother to find out either so I ended up not ordering them, this feels like a lost opportunity. The only other thing that wasn't ideal was that the place was not adequately air-conditioned. If people in your party get sweaty, uncomfortable in humid, warm environments, do not come here. I'm sure it's amazing when the weather cools down and you can sit outside and take in the views and fresh air. Get the crab pretzal thing, crab cake platter, crabs of course but skip the casserole potato thing.
