If seafood is what you're after, look no further than Backfins Grille in Glen Burnie. The fresh addition is located at 7514 Ritchie Highway in the space that formerly housed Bombay Blues.

The new restaurant and bar specializes in crab, whether steamed, as crabcakes or in a sandwich. You'll also find oysters, firecracker shrimp and seafood Alfredo, plus steaks, quesadillas, hamburgers and more.

Stop by for happy hour from 4–7 p.m. on weekdays for discounted beers, cocktails and appetizers. 

With a three-star rating out of eight reviews on Yelp so far, Backfins Grille is still finding its footing.

Joel W. wrote, "Amazing staff. Server was very attentive to our needs, never had an empty glass. Crabcake was off the hook!"

And Laurie D. noted, "Waitress was very nice but needs to learn her menu and ingredients better (she had to keep running back to the kitchen to answer our group's first-timer questions).  Prices were reasonable, entrees between $11 and $28."

Head on over to check it out: Backfins Grille is open from 11 a.m.–midnight on Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m.–2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, and noon–8 p.m. on Sunday.
