What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode 'All Baltimore All The Time' (aired 2014-11-21), Jimmy's Famous Seafood put its signature jumbo lump crab cakes and other Chesapeake seafood plates in front of host Guy Fieri. The large-format seafood restaurant and bar sits on Holabird Avenue in Baltimore, running both a sit-down dining room and a separate carryout counter. A check of the restaurant's own website, jimmysfamousseafood.com, on 2026-09-08 found it live with an active online-ordering system and posted current hours, including late-night service Wednesday through Sunday, dine-in starting as early as 11am on some days, and carryout available seven days a week until 11pm most nights. No closure, ownership change, or relocation notice turned up among the sources reviewed for this record.

Jimmy's Famous Seafood is a Baltimore restaurant at 6526 Holabird Ave founded in 1974 by Dimitrios 'Jimmy' Minadakis and today run by his sons, according to Jimmy's Famous Seafood's own website. It appeared in the June 2021 Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode 'Takeout: All Over the Menu,' in which Guy Fieri and Hunter Fieri connected with past guest restaurants by video chat for a takeout-focused show. The restaurant is known for its Maryland-style crab cakes, made with a family recipe using generous crab meat and minimal filler, according to MoCo Show's roundup of Maryland seafood spots featured on the program.

The episode featured Jimmy's Famous Seafood for its Baltimore-style crab cakes and seafood platters, served from its longtime location on Holabird Avenue in Baltimore. The restaurant's own website, checked 2026-09-08, lists current daily hours, including a separate carryout schedule, consistent with an actively maintained listing. This appearance is tracked under the restaurant's existing database record rather than as a new listing.
