   I have wanted to go to Brunch at By the Docks for quite a while, and today was the day. Overall, I was pleased with the food selections although at our 10 AM arrival time the scrambled eggs weren't terribly warm. I saw the server finally get some lids to put over the trays of food and that should have helped the eggs get warmer for others. I wished for toast or English muffins or regular muffins to eat with my bacon and eggs in addition to the very large biscuits available for the chipped beef gravy and the sausage gravy. What happened to the eggs benedict? Are you saving money somehow by removing most of the white so there was really only a small "frame" around the yolk? We both were amused by that feature. Our bill came to $93 which included the 18% gratuity. Abner was our waiter and he was personable and on-the-ball. I hope he was the one to get the whole 18% . He greeted us and brought coffee (which was an extra charge), explained the omelet process. checked on us several times and brought the bill when requested. My husband appreciated that the bill specifically said "Additional tip" beyond the automatic gratuity so that he didn't make the mistake of tipping beyond the automtatic 18% which he has done by mistake in the past at other restaurants.

   We love By the Docks. This trip was not disappointing. We brought my mother here for first time and she loved it. The food was awesome and, as always, the portions were generous. Our service was superb.

   I am from Baltimore and the crab cakes at By the Docks are the best in town!! My friend Linda introduced me to them a few years ago and I’m so glad she did! Baltimore feel, great Baltimore crab cakes. By the Docks has a great Baltimore neighborhood feel and great crab cakes.
   

   By The DocksResponded on April 9, 2025

   This means so much—thank you! 💙 Coming from a fellow Baltimore local, that’s the ultimate compliment. We’re so glad Linda introduced you to us and that our crab cakes (and that classic Baltimore feel!) keep you coming back. Hope to see you again soon for another round of crab cake goodness!
