Bay City is a shell of its former self. If you went here in the 90s or even the 2000s and plan on going again… DON’T. It is not good anymore. Super slow service, small seafood portions, and very expensive. We came here on June 25, 2024, for my mother’s birthday. There were 6 of us and we had a reservation. They called us at 5:15pm to tell us we missed our reservation that was not till 6:00pm, so right off the bat that was a bad sign. Our actual dining experience was a painful 2 hours long because the service was so slow. However long you expect a normal restaurant to take to service a table… triple it, that was how slow it was. I do not blame this bad service fully on our waitress however, because she was a very nice elderly woman and she was obviously the only server for the entire dining room side of the restaurant. However, that being said, she did make some poor choices, like waiting to bring us condiments for our main course until after she visited all the other tables and not checking in on us where she was in the area. And while this one woman was working the entire dining room there were 2 girls in the lobby at check-in doing absolutely nothing since almost no one else came in the whole time. And another girl was dedicated to busing tables, but again there was no one here so she was doing basically nothing. The whole 2 hours we were sitting around waiting for something… anything to eat or drink, there were a total of only 3 other tables in the entire dining room. The one and only good thing I have to say was that when the food actually arrived, it tasted OK and it was actually hot. However, the portions were very small, and they are very skimpy on the actual seafood. I cannot believe I paid $30 for 3 stuffed shrimp that were the size of something you get at a carnival. My wife had shrimp Alfredo and there were literally only 3 shrimp in her whole bowl. Our drinks were empty pretty much the entire time and we were never checked in on just to see if things were OK or if we needed anything.

I recently dined at Bay City Seafood Restaurant in Hanover, PA, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. I started with the bluepoint oysters, which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The sautéed and fried soft shell crab was a delightful choice, perfectly cooked and seasoned. My wife ordered the filet mignon, and it was a true masterpiece – cooked to absolute perfection, tender, and bursting with flavor. The chef's expertise truly shone through. The restaurant's atmosphere was inviting and cozy, creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable evening. What truly stood out, though, was the attentive and friendly staff. They made us feel welcomed and ensured our every need was met. In summary, Bay City Seafood Restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. From the delectable seafood to the expertly prepared filet mignon, and the warm atmosphere paired with exceptional service, it's a dining experience that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Hanover, PA. We can't wait to return for another delightful meal!

Ordered and was massively disappointed. Crab stuffed mushrooms... just awful. 4 no bigger than a quarter mushy mushroom caps. Could not tell if the crab was frozen or canned. Lacked texture and had too much moisture to hold its own. The mushrooms themselves were just mushy. Definitely not worth the $12. Very sad Soft shell was way way over cooked...even the mustard was HARD. The best part... it was delivered and sat on another table before it was brought to ours. Grant you this is a nice area of York/Adams County but still... major serv safe violation. My plate was the crab melt... again... mushy but unlike the crunchy over cooked soft shell, this was room temperature on the inside. The pretzel roll was the star. Service was very slow. There wasn't much business this evening, but we walked in 45 minutes before closing. It took 35 minutes for the appetizer to get to the table. Floors were dirty. What was good... the mayo, friendly staff and blk and tan Yuengling.

It was good. The spinach salad was my favorite part of my meal. I forgot to take a picture before I started eating it. Oops. I love that it was listed as a side! My pollack was well prepared. The scallops were delicious and not overcooked at all. The broiled shrimp were good. The steamed shrimp had an interesting, not pleasant taste. It may have been the beer they used to steam them. The mussels were bland and extra chewy. The crab cake was petite and not bad. I will visit again and try a different dish. I stopped in bc I have been wanting to try it for years. They have a wonderful mixed drink selection. I wasn't able to try any bc I was a solo diner. I did get a dessert. They have an excellent selection of desserts, too. I forgot to take a picture of my cake slice. The inside of the building is very cozy. I like all the bare beams. I sat at little booth. I don't recall my server's name, but she did a fine job. I want to return for Tuesday's wing night.
