About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for business meals
  • Good for groups
A Baltimore landmark since 1978, Captain James Landing Restaurant has earned the name "most unique eatery" in Baltimore City. For starters we are the only restaurant shaped like a merchant vessel. Five brothers created a restaurant in the 70"s with the goal of providing quality service to the citizens of Baltimore, Maryland as well as the thousands of tourist that visit our Monumental City. Our Waterfront Crab House (located adjacent of our restaurant) was awarded in 2012 "#1 Best Crabs in Baltimore" by Baltimore Magazine. Our Crab House is the one spot in the city where you can eat steamed crabs with a true waterfront seating. Water Taxi Stop #14 brings you right to our waterfront location.

    We went to this place for the first time, right after visiting a art museum in Baltimore. They had jumbo crabs, which are not common. The crabs tasted good. Services were nice. Maybe this is a local establishment, I didn’t see parking instructions on its website before visiting. The restaurant owns a huge private parking lot. We ended up parking on street with meters and walked two blocks.

    I hate writing a negative review, but was seriously disappointed. We have been enjoying crabs from Cap James for many many years, but from their crab house across from the restaurant. That was closed because of a fire. We arrived early and they were able to seat us quickly. A very pleasant server greeted us and informed us that all they offered if we wanted crabs, our main goal in coming there, was all you can eat over a two hour stretch. So sadly we accepted. My feeling is that I’d rather buy sizes I choose rather than be given small crabs and work three times as hard for minimal meat. There was no option. First crab I picked up was heavy. But opening it I discovered it was only mealy not meaty. Then I was informed the claws I had saved may be charged because there is no “take with”. And beware, gratuity is buried in the check. And the server was worth more than the 20% they added. Since it’s the only bad experience we have had at Capt James, it’s not a total write off, just a write off until the crab deck is reopened.

    We went for seafood and ended up having the oyster Rockefeller. They had run out of crabs but that was ok since we didn’t want the mess. Prices were on the high side and they put a 3% credit card charge and a 18% tip for our party of two. We’re not likely to return.

    Crabs were fantastic. The service was also amazing! It was very busy but you would never know it by our service level. Thank you for a nice evening.

    As always the service and food was perfect! We ordered from the menu Instead of eating crabs. A lot of tablets seemed to be enjoying them.
