Nick's Fish House

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
