I had lunch at timbuktu, started out with oysters, they were pretty fresh, but theres always one bad apple, then later on I had the crabcakes, they were good, but they were filled with fillers and i was expecting more jumbo lumps in them. The prices were reasonable,Overall this place is not to shabby

Want Crab Cakes? I think this place has legends about their crab cakes. They are huge and if you get a stuffed lobster tail - look out! They really stuff it! They will bake or fry the cakes. I recommend the fry because the bake is not great.

Keno Hotspot at the set from the movie Cocoon..... (long review but worth the reading) – 3 hungover guys looking for 2 things- CRAB meat and BIG portions. I suggested Timbuktu and hyped it up the whole way on rt.100. We were not disappointed. Crabcake platter for myself, Smokehouse Trio for one meathead, Rib n Cake combo for the other..... Crab cake was all lump. Smokehouse trio had huge portions of pulled pork (very tasty) and brisket (decent and not dry). Ribs were so-so, kind of chewy. The place is under construction and ... read more

Great Crab Cakes We like this place but based on our last experience with the service was horrible. So bad, we won't be back for a while. The crab cakes are very very good. Prices are high. For a big splurge, try the crab stuffed lobster tail.

Great Seafood and Steak – I decided to go down to B-more for my birthday and asked a friend where I should eat. First she said she didn't like to eat anywhere in B-more then after a little thought she told me about Timbuktu, right outside of B-more. Glad she did! I had the stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer...they were pretty darn good. Stuffed mostly with crab and good crab at that. I would have liked some mozzarella cheese melted on top, but other than that they were excellent. My boyfriend loved the cocktail shrimp. We bo... read more

Get Your Money's Worth!! – I have frequented Timbuktu's on several occasions -- twice with my boyfriend and once with my girls and each time it was an awesome experience!! You not only get superb food but you get a lot of it!! My Man and I love lobster night! Where else can you get a whole steam lobster for $8.99!! We're heading back tonight!!! Treat yourself and others!! Its worth the ride from DC!!!

Mediocrity – I got the surf and turf with a crab cake stuffed lobster shell. The crab cake was better than average, but not as spectacular as others have made it out to be. The filet was extremely bland as was the lobster. On the plus side, the wait staff was superb. Being an out of towner, I don't recommend this place to anyone visiting MD, spend your money elsewhere. Speaking of which, $50 was extremely excessive for such poor food.
