Founded by the late Dimitrios “Jimmy” Minadakis, The Famous quickly became a Maryland landmark, a direct result of his unmatched work ethic, according to the restaurant. “Since 1974, Jimmy’s Famous Seafood has proudly served the community with iconic culinary creations, unmatched philanthropy and legendary hospitality. Today, Jimmy’s Famous Seafood carries on his vision through his sons, who display the same passion and care for which he was loved.”
