Big Jim's Seafood House - East York

I tried the Maryland crab soup, and it tasted like it came straight from a can. It was over-seasoned with Old Bay to the point that it practically burned my mouth. On the plus side, there was a decent amount of crab in it. However, the service was lacking; the waitress didn’t provide any plastic utensils or napkins. Thankfully, I was able to run back to our workplace to get those necessary items. Overall, it was very disappointing, especially considering how much we paid. I won’t be returning, which is a shame for a restaurant that used to have great food.

Absolutely fantastic! This is the most underrated restaurant in York! Everything, from the drinks to the food, is crafted to perfection. The margarita was delicious, and the draft beer was poured just right. The food was excellent! They have an amazing chef. Although the atmosphere is somewhat sparse, it doesn’t matter when you’re with good company!

Crab soup is awesome. Hush puppies are very good too. Seafood is nicely done. I got the stuffed shrimp and it was fine, but came with a sauce. I would order without sauce next time. That is not typically something that is sauced. Service is sometimes a little touch and go as it seems they may have other responsibilities (like with the bar). All in all, will definitely return. We were there and the live music playing. It was certainly loud enough to listen to in the driveway behind the restaurant.

Ordered their 1/2 lb burger with no tomatoes or pickles and medium well done. Along with fries on the side. Burger had no cheese on it and they added pickles anyway. The outside of the burger was burnt while the inside was still raw. Poor fries were soggy and limp. They should probably stick to seafood. Also of note, the handicap parking has a sign but it’s ignored. Don’t expect them to be available.

I wish I could give 0 stars!! This business deletes reviews that expose them for their terrible service.
