Recently came here to eat for the first time and it definitely won’t be my last. A great meal, excellent wait staff, and just an overall delicious restaurant. The only negative was it was very cold but it was also very cold outside and the door kept opening so it made it cold in the restaurant but that didn’t deter our meal and our experience.
It was cold so my friend and I both got a big bowl of crab soup and when I say a big bowl, it was mammoth! I usually at a bowl because usually it’s not much bigger than a cup but this was huge and it definitely affected the amount that I was able to eat of my meal, however that’s what doggie bags are for!
I had the crab cake platter with a single broiled crab cake, french fries and applesauce. It was delicious. The crab cake was big and meaty and full of jumbo lump crab meat and very little filler. The fries were crispy and tasty and the applesauce had huge chunks of apples and was very good. For what we got our meal was super reasonable. My friend got the fish and chips and had this big huge long piece of fish that went from end to end on her plate. I tried her fish and it was really tasty.
All in all a really good meal and I look forward to coming back in the future. Highly recommend a visit here.

The food is good but not always what you order so ask how it is prepared. They have a very large crabcake here that is good and big. It’s not one of the best but it is one that will leave you satisfied. Service was good from the host stand to the server. Great drinks and a fun atmosphere.

I want to give this spot a higher review because I can see the vision and the flavor is definitely there. However, I paid extra for a Greek salad and got a soggy Caesar. I ordered the eggrolls and they were overly cooked and I found myself scooping the amazing filling onto my sad salad. I got the salmon bourbon dish medium cook, and got the most dry, overcooked, salmon. The sweet potato puree was nonexistent and the container was just overly loaded with the cabbage which is also sooo good. But I was looking forward to a whole portion of sweet potato.

Very disappointed. Ordered a Steak prepared Medium and instead I was brought a chunk of Car Tire (Well Done Steak). Sent it back and was brought a less inflated tire. The Crab Cake has so much breading it was more like a Crab Cake Sandwich. Oysters Rockefeller was all Rockefeller, no Oyster…… the Sweet Tea was GREAT!

Galentines day event with the ladies.
Everything i tasted was quite amazing. The only thing that i wasn’t a fan of were the eggs. They were a little more wet than i like and it wasn’t an option for cheese eggs. Outside of that everything else i tasted was amazing. Ms Patricia was an amazing woman who kept tending to us. I would for sure go back. I’ve actually been twice. I will right a second review for my first experience.

Absolutely amazing food! I feel the prices were reasonable. My lady and I had a great time. The waitress was amazing. It is a must go. Treat yourself. You deserve it.

Great food and incredible deals for one of the best seafood restaurants I was able to try in Baltimore in my short time there. The lobster bisque I had on their lobster Monday special days was one of the best I’ve ever had! My cohorts on this trip also had 2 whole lobstersad their meal for a very fair price. I personally enjoyed the crab cake Alfredo fettuccine with mussels I ordered. The sauce was creamy and rich, while the noodles were cooked just right. We all agreed we’d go back again, and I’ll also mention our waiter was very courteous throughout our experience. The place had an old time lodge appeal, with a decent amount of tables and a fair nautical ambiance. I’d definitely like to come back, but I can see this place being easily packed outside of Mondays!

Food was good. I saw that they did their best to keep the food from getting cold so they get an A for effort.

We had a wonderful experience tonight! The night before Valentine’s Day! We were lucky to get a table rather quickly (one of the last to not have a reservation… oopsie). My husband, son, 1 year old grandson and I were lucky to have Mariah as our server. We started of by saying we would order drinks, food and apps right away, as dinner with a 1 year old was like being on borrowed time. She took that to heart and we had our soup, salad and drinks within a few minutes. Then delicious crab cake platters were delivered to the table before we could finish the apps. It was the perfect experience on what could’ve been a rough night! Thank you Mariah and team for a wonderful dinner!

I visited By The Docks on November 14 and had an extremely concerning experience regarding customer safety. My young daughter used the restroom, and within less than one second of her hand being under the faucet, she was burned by scalding hot water. Her hand turned visibly red and she cried from the pain. Although there was a sign warning of hot water, that is not an acceptable substitute for maintaining safe plumbing since Baltimore County plumbing code clearly states that public handwashing sinks must not exceed 110°F.
I immediately brought this to the manager on duty, Mike, who showed no concern whatsoever. He simply advised they have a warning sign, did not apologize, did not offer ice or any assistance for my daughter, and made no effort to address the hazard.
I emailed the restaurant that same evening and still have not received any response.
Because the situation involved a clear safety hazard, I reported it to Baltimore County Public Safety. They inspected the restaurant the following week and confirmed the water temperature was over 140°F, and advised the establishment to correct it, but they did not have the authority to enforce repairs. I was then referred to Baltimore County Plumbing Code Enforcement.
Plumbing Code Enforcement went out promptly and found that the bathroom sink produced steaming hot water immediately upon being turned on. A work order has since been issued, but it’s disappointing that customer safety was apparently not a priority until authorities intervened.
My advice: spend your money somewhere that actually values its customers. Jimmy’s Famous Seafood nearby is similarly priced but offers far better food quality, service, and management. By The Docks has lost my business, and I hope others take this warning seriously. The food here is overpriced and mediocre, but it’s the disregard for customer safety that makes this place truly unacceptable.
