Lee's Pint & Shell — Restaurant in Baltimore

Had to drop off some equipment in Baltimore. Afterwards, the dude says, "Find us a good seafood restaurant, that's not a boil in bag." Google gave this place as a suggestion. And it was the best suggestion!

We came to Lee's Pint & Shell for late afternoon lunch/dinner (linner/dinunch, if you will). The bartend was very welcoming and friendly. We decided to eat at the bar since the place wasn't full.

They have a good selection of whiskey & bourbon, and great beers on tap. I had the Hazy Cannon. Our order was the Chorizo Oysters, Stone Crab Claws, Salmon Sandwich, and the Oyster Po Boy. The flavor was there! My only complaint (if you want to call it that) was that the Po Boy could've used a bit more seasoning. However, the sandwiches were good with a little hot sauce. The oysters were damn good, but best eaten hot. The stone crab claws were beautifully sweet and easy to crack.

We ordered too much, but it was good food and beers. I do recommend Lee's Pint & Shell when visiting Baltimore. It's near the waterfront, but far enough to not be in all that traffic. You'll have to figure out Baltimore's parking (it's easier than it looks, you just need to be good at reversing...

Great staple in the Canton, MD area! Nothing is too much trouble! A friend and I pulled up this afternoon at 3:00 mind you they don't open till 4:00. We asked if we could come in sit and eat, to which the manager George who mind you was racing down the sidewalk outside immediately took the time to put the hose down check with his staff and make the decision to Immediately accommodated. We further asked if we could sit on the second floor new terrace which again they were not open until 4:00 but they immediately accommodated! There was not one frowny-face among the entire staff and they have a large staff. (Like Fantasy Island Monacur.. Smiles Everyone). They were! The food was prompt fantastic well plated and delicious! The staff was courteous, knowledgeable and friendly! I can say without a shadow of a doubt and I eat out a bit, Lee's Pint and Shelll has been the best experience that I have had since moving back to Baltimore 11 years ago! Great Job to our waitress "J" as well as kuddos to GEORGE AND DAVE and the rest of the staff. Thanks for an amazing experience!!!!!

First customers on the new terrace,...

I've lived in Canton most of my life and patronized the same popular restaurant a couple blocks from my home. I learned how terribly Lee's Pint & Shell had been treated a local representative which prompted me to try Lee's. Well, I regret I didn't try Lee's Pint & Shell sooner. We ordered six meals to sample. Wow, everything was delicious. The condiments and seasonings for each meal were unique, tasty, and complimented the food perfectly, the fish were perfectly cooked, and the fish and chicken portions were generous. I estimate Lee's pricing was about a third less than, and the portions were about a third more than, the 'shell' eatery that had been our staple dining venue until now. Lee's Pint & Shell will be our go to restaurant. Their staff is friendly and helpful on the phone and in person and Lee's answers the phone, a welcome improvement over the former restaurant we frequented which appears to have become complacent, declining in quality, quantity, and service. While Lee's is a few blocks from the 'Square' it's well worth the walk or drive; I believe you'll be very pleased with their menu offerings...
