About Costas Inn Timonium

Costas Inn Timonium is the area’s premier crab house Timonium MD, serving the jumbo lump crab cakes and Maryland seafood classics that have made the Costas name a Baltimore-area legend since 1971.

The Timonium location is a second home for one of Maryland’s most celebrated seafood families.

I had the perfect day seeing all my friends at the new, second location! What a great space at the track with more renovations happening this summer. Congratulations, Costas family on your expansion!! I was craving the blackened chicken sandwich with a shirley temple, it hit the spot! My favorite Maryland crab soup was needed as well. Don’t forget about the pasta salad either, my sister always takes a quart of it home. Crab cakes are 10/10!! Everything is always delicious, fresh and homemade. I have multiple menu favorites, I guess I’ll have to come back again soon!

Amazing addition to the county. You won’t find better restaurant operators. This family runs the best crab restaurant on the planet and they brought their expertise here. No steamed crabs but everything else is amazing. Steamed shrimp, crab soup, crab cakes, etc. Great atmosphere and huge bar with dozens of tvs. Friendly and caring staff. I will be back often.
