Reviews for Big Jim's Seafood House in York, PA
Casual place with good atmosphere. Server was friendly and attentive. Cream of crab soup was loaded with crab, thick and rich.... Fish and chips sub was huge. Fried green beans super tasty. Wings were large and delicious. Key lime pie was some of thebest I've ever had Read more
The food is absolutely horrible took an hour for two grilled chicken sandwiches what should hurt my son?s jaw as he chewed... them!! The cook as you would call him ? I suppose is making rounds at the table instead of cooking the food wearing kitchen meatgloves on his hands and touching stuff in the bar area and then going back and cooking the food disgusting!!!! Worst food I?vehad ever!! Waitress was nice!! Took a few bucks off, but will never eat here again!! Fishy Crab dip $17?? All ship!! Read more
My husband and I ate here 2 weeks ago. We started with soup. He had the cream of crab, it was rich and creamy full of crab. I... had the seafood chowder with shrimp and scallops. Very good. Then came the salad which unfortunately mostly arugula which Idon't like. Onto entrees. My husband had the seafood cioppinno, our server warned us it was a bit spicy. It was spicy but thehusband loved it. On a pasta bed was the clams, mussels, shrimp and scallops and the spicy red sauce. I had the seafood platterwhich included a crabcake, shrimp, scallops and a nice piece of fish mine came with fries . All was broiled. Our meals were verygood and in that night was all you can eat steamed crabs. Many tables had them. We enjoyed our meals and will be back. Read more

My family and I love going out to eat. We tried this place awhile ago, and it was OK. We wanted to give it another chance today... on Friday 7/29/2022, and it was one of the most terrible restaurant experiences. They said they were short staffed, and that?sok, we get it, so we expected service to be slower than normal, but that?s no excuse for the quality of the food. The snow crablegs and mussels were over cooked and the mussel sauce was sour and had a terrible smell. The mussels were literally shriveledup. My boyfriend never complains, but he did this time and could not eat the mussels. We tried telling them, nicely, about themussels, but the waitress walked away in the middle of us explaining what was wrong with them - like she did not care. The LongIsland iced tea was also way too sweet. The Tito?s and club soda was put in a larger cup, so there was a lot more club sodaratio to vodka, so the next round were felt forced to order a double. The cheesesteak was OK, tasted like steak-ums with storebought nacho cheese. Crab cake had way too much filler, it was super mushy. There was also a group of ladies sitting near uscomplaining about the size of their crabs and quality of their food also, and they weren?t very nice about it. But we knew then,it wasn?t just our food, it was the food in general that just wasn?t well prepared. We spent $130, and that will be our lasttime there. Being understaffed is understandable and one thing, but that?s no excuse for the quality of food. I hope theyaddress the kitchen/chef issues. There were also two hostesses that we noticed multiple times playing on their phones andchatting - when they could have been helping the wait staff more. It just seems like a poorly managed restaurant. We were reallydisappointed, especially with the amount of money we spent. We actually liked the atmosphere with the fishing decor and countrymusic. We just wish the food, staff, and drinks would have been better. Read more

First time here. Saturday early afternoon not crowded. Nice big bar, lots of TV'S. Service was good, food was good, prices... decent and portions ok, but not great. Definitely go back and get some entrees and see bang for buck with that. Oysters werew/out the usual lemon or hot sauce, mignonette and a little small. Read more
This used to be a really great place and we would come weekly. Within 3 years the service and quality of food has gone way... down. I can't tell you the last time we had decent service here and we frequently sit around waiting for refills and at the endof night searching for the bartender/waitresses so we can pay our bill. Today the burgers were so burnt that the cheese wasbrown and the prices just continue to rise. This place holds a special place in our hearts but really starting up wonder if it'seven worth coming anymore. Read more
