Be careful because the prices online are not the prices inside but the crabs are juicy, hot, large, meaty, and delicious. They are a delight for your soul. The staff Lynn, my waitress was nice and very knowledgeable and helpful when she could be. Butbeware of the costly prices but you get what you pay for! On a side note, I don't think that the AUTOMATIC GRATUITY should bepaid by to the waiter or waitress. WHAT if they are not deserving of the tip. Gratuitous means satisfied with their service. IfI am not satisfied with their service or if they don't necessarily have what I or my friends have ordered do they DESERVE aTIP??? I say NO.. WHAT if the waitress or waiter was having a bad day or th...
One thing I find concerning is the automatic gratuity. I don't believe that servers should receive it if they haven't provided exceptional service. Gratuity should reflect our satisfaction with their service. If I'm unhappy or if my friends and I don't receive what we ordered, do they really deserve a tip? I think not.
Consider that if a server has a bad day or if the kitchen makes a mistake, it shouldn't automatically fall on customers to pay an automatic 20% gratuity. If a server is managing several tables, and each table is a party of four or more, they could potentially make a hefty amount from tips on a busy day—perhaps $1,600! Meanwhile, the owner benefits from the customers who pay...
Support local businesses! This amazing restaurant offers a wide variety of seafood. They have a full bar, so you can enjoy your favorite drink. Be sure to make reservations if you're ordering fresh crab by the dozen, especially if you're dining with a larger group. Expect to spend around $130 for other dishes and drinks. The staff is fantastic, and the service is excellent!
I've never been able to get a clear answer about the crabs. Either I'm given the wrong time to come or the wrong sizes. We've been regulars here for many years, and this issue has always persisted. Other than that, the food is excellent, and the staff is quick and courteous. Overall, I do recommend Ships.

Alisa was our waitress, and although there were no crabs available today, it was still a good experience. The real highlight was her service. I've visited this place many times, and their food...

Ships is one of the restaurants located on the main drag in Catonsville, so parking can be a chore at busy times.
