Jimmy's famous seafood restaurant, 6526 Holabird Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland, has been open for more than 50 years. I was 8 years old the first time I ever went here. This was a restaurant that my father took us to for Sunday dinners.

The restaurant has a casual atmosphere. They offer a nice table clothes with low lighting. They also have another room with paper on each table. This room is for eating steamed crabs. The paper keeps the mess down from the crabs.

My husband took me to Jimmy's to celebrate our anniversary. It was his first time going here and I had not been here for over twenty years. Neither of us were disappointed.

We had a very nice and attentive waitress. She answered all questions and was very prompt bringing drinks. She also did a great job of clearing the empty bowls and plates away. She went above and beyond the line of duty in my opinion and deserved a very nice tip.

My husband ordered the Surf and Turf plate. This order was $38.95. I thought this too be a little on the high side, however all seafood is out of season at this time of year. The platter consisted of a lobster tail and filet mignon. He also ordered a salad and baked potato with his meal. The lobster tail was steamed perfectly and the flavor was great. The filet of mignon was a much bigger piece of steak than either of us expected. This steak was fixed just right as well. The steak was medium well, with just a slight hint of pink and each piece just melted in your mouth.

For my main entree I ordered the T bone steak with a crab cake. The T bone was a little on the thin side but cooked to perfection. The fat on the steak was nice and crisp and very tasty. The crab cake was as big as my hand. I could not believe how big it was. The crab cake was full of lump crab meat and I mean big pieces of crab meat. The taste was also to die for. I could not believe the size of my entree. I paid $28.95 for this dish and it was well worth it.

We had our annual Department Crab Feast this afternoon at Jimmy's. We were a party of 40. The time was from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30. When we arrived at 11:30, the only food to be seen was a bowl of Caesar Salad that could have served 10, a bowl of potato salad and cole slaw (approx. 2 lbs. each). At noon, a tray of fried chicken appeared (harder than a rock) which disappeared after the first 15 people served themselves. The upstairs room in which we were housed, was dingy and the bar only had soft drink taps--beer was poured into plastic pitchers and walked up the flight of stairs. The crabs appeared at 1:15. Dessert was chocolate and vanilla ice cream plopped on the serving table in metal bowls, no toppings, which contained ice crystals the size of my thumbnail. The chocolate ice cream had no taste whatsoever. BTW, it ran out after 15 people as well and it took chanting by the group in order for them to bring more. But the worst part of the afternoon was when our table had finished our
